                        8-
23-2018   Volume remains low, but now our Accumulation Index (IP21) and
                                              as our V-I (Up minus Down Volume) in our Peerless
                                              DJI chart are both negative.  In addition, the DISI-OBV Line on the
                                              DJI is dangerously weak, almost making new lows ahead of price. 
                                              This adds a lot to the bearishness of the multiple Sell S9-V.  Fortunately,
                                              DIA's Closing Power is still up-trending and volatile stocks like AMD
                                              and NVDA are showing by their breakouts today that speculators are
                                              still optimistic.  And usually, when the NYSE A/D Line is able to make new
                                              highs in August, the DJI does not top out until September or October.
                                              It is these considerations which have caused me to recommend short sales
                                              in some of our fairly numerous Bearish MINCPs, rather than shorting DIA
                                              right now.

                                The price and internal weakness in the DJI-30 put great pressure on
                                IWM, SPY and leading tech stocks to make new highs soon on their own. 
                                If they do not,  the technical situation of the overall market will become
                                dangerous and look even more like it did in mid 2011 just before a bad
                                sell-off.


                                Last night, I showed the 2011 DJI chart with its set of  three S9-Vs, the last of
                                which took place with the NYSE ADL failing confirm.. Tonight look at the how
                                the failure by the NASDAQ, SPY, QQQ and IWM to breakout in July 2011
                                was quickly followed by the steep general market sell-off in August.  See also
                                how in several instances, the Tiger Closing Power uptrends were each violated
                                following some CP non-confirmations of new price high.  These added to our
                                certainty of a decline because it showed that Professionals had shifted decisively
                                from being bullish to bearish.  I think we should use these insights to guide us
                                now.


                                      4 Key Tops in 2011 - Each called by the 3rd S9V,
                                      failures to make new highs, Closing Power non-confirmations
                                      and then a breaking of steep CP uptrend just before
                                      the big decline began.

Short-term, there is still a very good chance of a pre-Labor Day rally.
              To play it long, I would look at our Bullish MAXCPs, IWM (providing it does not
              fail its recent breakout) and the most bullish of the "NIFTY" hightechs we use
              in our "TAHITI TECHs" system.    Note that the highest Power Ranked is not
              usually the same as the highest AI/200 ranked stock.  The Power Ranker is more
              short-term term.  It factors in relative strength as well as the current IP21 value
              as much as the long term positive consistency of our Accumulation. Index.

              In any case, cCompare the highest Power-Ranked with the lowest Power-Ranked
              MINCP stock.  What a difference!  Very often hedging works very well and both
              sides are profitable.

                        8-
22-2018   Volume is low and the DJI seems stalled below the last apparent
                                              resistance level below its January peak at 26616.71.  See the chart
                                              below.   On this chart, the recent Peerless Sell S9-V (negative V-I at 2.4%
                                              upper band above 21-dma) and the now negative IP21 (current Accumulation
                                              Index) warn that any DJI rally now of about 300 points will probably
                                              bring a new Peerless S9-V. 
All this should limit the DJI's upside potential
                                              to about 3%. 


                                                                Current Peerless DJI Chart.


                                              The DJI is 1% over its 21-dma and the V-Indicator remains negative.
                                              Though the P-I shows positive breadth, the current Accumulation
                                              Index stands only at +.007.  It will be hard for the DJI to make
                                              much upside progress.  It is the rising NYSE ADL which keeps
                                              saving the market in here.  As long as interest rates do not get
                                              pushed up much, the ADL should stay in its uptrend.  But a rise
                                              in interest rates or an intensification of Trump's tariff wars would
                                              be very problematic.
These developments might break the ADL's
                                              uptrend.   On the other hand, Professionals are still bullish.  They
                                              apparently do not foresell problems here.

Most likely, the DJI's downside is also probably limited.
                                              More DJI zig-zags higher seem likely until we see a new September
                                              or October DJI peak, in which the NYSE A/D Line fails to make a
                                              corresponding new high on its own and then breaks its own uptrend. 
                                              See in the 2011 Peerless chart below, it was the third Sell S9-V on a
                                              DJI new high which was not confirmed by a confirming A/D Line that
                                              brought on the DJI's rapid 17% decline. in 2011.

What The Bulls Need To Accomplish Now.
  
                                             What would help the overall market's resilience now would be if the
                                              broader market (represented by IWM, the NASDAQ, the SP-500
                                              and MDY)  get past their recent peaks and make breakout runs
                                              in all-time high territory.  IWM has done that hesitatingly. Now
                                              we must wait and see if the NASDAQ and SPY can do the same. 
                                              If they fail to breakout, it will be a bearish sign.  When they failed to
                                              breakout and the A/D Line broke its steep uptrend, the DJI plunged
                                             18% very quickly in the Summer of 2011.


                                                              
Watch the Professionals closely now.  

                                              They have the best insider information direct from the White House and
                                              the Federal Reserve.  They are also the ones that can rig higher or lower
                                              openings to serve their needs to distribute or accumulate. And they have,
                                              I have argued, more than most others, a vested interest in having the
                                              stock market make new highs as the November Elections take place.

                                              Instead of playing the DJI's (or DIA's) small zigs and zags, I would suggest
                                              shorting those bearish MINCP (Closing Power new lows and steady
                                              red Distribution) and holding them short so long as their Closing Powers
                                              remain at below the 21-dma.  And at the same time, I would prefer to
                                              buy IWM, which has made a flat-topped breakout into all-time high territory
                                              and buy some of the bullish MAXCPs and stay long them so long as their
                                              Closing Powers are in uptrends.

SPY822.GIF (18824 bytes)

                                              Our reliance now is on trends of Tiger's Closing Power.  We do this
                                              out of the belief that this is a market controlled by Professionals who are
                                              most likely to be busy buying all-day long when they are very bullish and
                                              most likely to be busy selling all-day long when they are very bearish. 
                                              The openings are less important to them unless they are manipulated.
                                              Candle-stick charts by their color show this on a day to day basis, but
                                              we are more interested in the short-term and intermediate-term trends.

QQQP822.GIF (11681 bytes)

                                              
When we look at DIA, SPY, QQQ, MDY, IWM and TECL, we see
                                               Closing Power uptrends.  These are summarized in Table 1 below and each
                                               night.   From this, I would conclude Professionals are still bullish.  So, we
                                               should be, too.  But I must add, now we must not see IWM fail its
                                               breakout.   That would be a bearish development.

Table 1             QUICKSILVER on ETFS - 08/21/18
  
Explanation: 
 Pivot-Point is the price at which the short-term 5-dma will change direction.
 Cl-Pwr = 21-dma trend of Closing Power.
 Candle = red means close below opening today and blue means close was above opening.
 IP21 is our proprietary Accum. Index.  It ranges from -1.0 to +1.0.
 ITRS shows the 50-day rate of change for the ETF minus the DJI's 50-day pct. change.
 We sometimes combine IP21 and ITRS to find the most powerful but keep in mind some
 of the ETFs (SOXL and TECL) are leveraged.

                        8-
21-2018   The Peerless-S9V still remains at odds with the very strong NYSE A/D Line.
                                             The V-I was negative for another day, but there were 853 more up than
                                             down even when short-term interest rates rose back above 2%,  Such a
                                             a clash by these indicators in August is usually not resolved until September
                                             or October with a DJI decline to the lower band.  For the Sell-S9V to win
                                             the battle at this time,  I would require the Closing Powers of the major market
                                             ETFs to break their uptrends AND for the NYSE A/F Line to break its 6-month
                                             uptrend.

  The News Is Misleading... Be Cynical.

                                             As for all the news about political corruption, the market does not seem much
                                             concerned.   If anything, as Wall Street represents those most able to do the
                                             corrupting, the news today can be viewed as yet one more sign that Wall Street
                                             has everything under control and the news is to get the "little people" to sell.

                                             (Compare this with Leona Helmsley's famous remark: "We don't pay taxes;
                                                            only the little people pay taxes.")


                                            
Wall Street Professionals seem not to care tha the President's
                                              campaign manager has been found guilty by a jury of eight felonies
                                              that could put him in jail a long, long time and that Trump's
                                              personal lawyer has plead guilty to misusing Campaign funds
                                              to pay off one Trump's consorts just as the President, himself, had ordered.
                                              Complain as much as you may about a "witch hunt" or "fake
                                              news", Mueller's investigations are producing convictions which
                                              are getting closer and closer to the big man himself. 

                                              But as both the Special Prosecutor's Office and the Republicans in Congress
                                              know full well, the President himself is safe as long as the House of Represtatives
                                              does not swing Democratic this Fall.  Even then, it takes a 2/3 Senate Vote to
                                              actually impeach.  So Impeachment seems unlikely.  

                                              Even so, all this makes the November Election very important.  Wall Street

                                            
and the Federal Reserve, too, know that the best way for the Republicans
                                              to be kept in office in sufficient numbers to fend off an Impeachment is to keep
                                              the economy strong and the stock market making new highs. You can bet that
                                              enormous pressure behind the scenes is being placed on the FED.  We will be
                                              eager to see tomorrow what the most recent FOMC minutes reveal.

                                              Professionals mostly are Republican. Nearly all support his lower
                                              taxes and reduced regulation.  By persuasion, they want not to believe
                                              Trump should be impeached and by interest, they are very likely
                                              to do all they can to support the market and keep their Buy Programs
                                              running just as they have since our Buy B9 on July 3rd.  As a result,
                                              I doubt if our key Closing Powers will break their uptrend even
                                              with today's double victory for the Special Prosecutor.

                                                                                  
Buy IWM

                                              It's true that the DJI is still below its January peak by 3%, but today
                                              IWM, representing the Russell-2000 broke very bullishly above its
                                              flat resistance into all-time high territory, thereby earning it a trading
                                              Buy from us even without our Sell S9-V on the DJI having been reversed.

                                              IWM's strength shows speculative energies are still very much alive.

                  8-
20-2018   For several weeks I have opined that the current S9-V was not strong
                                        enough to short DIA or any other other major ETFs.  Weak MINCPs
                                        were preferred for shorting.  Until we get another Sell S9v, I would avoid
                                        shorting   the major market ETFs.  Professionals are too bullish.  See the rising
                                        Closing Powers and the statistics in Table 2. 

                                              (The DJI chart below uses trading highs and lows, unlike the
                                              normal Peerless chart further down.)
DJ30820.GIF (18849 bytes)

                                        To cause a Sell S9v tomorrow, the DJI would need to rally about 270 points
                                        on mediocre volume.  Below is normal Peerless chart using DJI's hypothetical
                                        highs and lows.  An advance tomorrow should put the DJI decisively above
                                        the top of its resistance zone and launch the DJI upwards to 26700.  It is
                                        not clear if the DJI's advance will bring along the NASDAQ and tech stocks.
                                        Watch the Closing Powers for TECL and QQQ, shown below.

                                        Most Professionals on Wall Street want the DJI in all-time high ground when
                                        the November election comes around.  At least, that is the script that
                                        the market seems to be following.  But they may not be all-powerful.  So,
                                        we should watch the uptrendlines of the Closing Power of the DJI and
                                        NYSE A/D Line to see if there is any sudden change of plan. 


                                        With the DJI now almost clearly above its well-tested resistance, 25650-25750,
                                        it seems likely the DJI will next rise 3.3% over the next month and reach
                                        its January peak of 26616.71.  More than that seems unlikely.  Volume remains
                                        low and the V-I is still negative.   When we study what happens when the A/D
                                        Line is making new highs in August, as now we find 19 cases since 1965.
                                        Six (31.6%) of these immediately peaked and then declined to the lower
                                        band.   But of these six, in only two instances did the DJI make their peaks
                                        late in the month of August, which is what we must be concerned about.
                                        Five times (26.3%) the DJI did not peak until September (9/7 to 9/25).
                                        Four times (21.1%), the DJI did not peak until Octover.  And on four
                                        occasions (21.1%), the DJI kept rising. 

                                    August A/D NH                  Next Top and Decline to Lower Band.

=======================================================================
                  8-
17-2018   The Sell S9-V is not working right now.   I show below that there is
                                        some precedent for this, though it is abnormal.  The DJI seems bent
                                        on getting back to its high.  This has become a dividend-paying, blue-chip
                                        and defensive stock rally.   Watch the NASDAQ and tech stocks, other than
                                        AAPL and BA, to see if there really is enough money still coming into the
                                        market to lift both tech stocks and defensive stocks after another boosted
                                        opening.


                                       So long as the Closing Powers for DIA, SPY and QQQ are in rising
                                        trends and the A/D Line is in its uptend, I would expect the current rally
                                        to zig-zag higher until after Labor Day.  But September does usually
                                        bring a decline.  So, the gains are apt to be small playing DIA, SPY and QQQ.
                                        Watch their Closing Power trends.  I would suggest being long some of the
                                        Bullish MAXCPs that have recently made breakouts above flat tops. 


                                       The NYSE Adv-Decl. Line made a new all-time high Friday.  There have
                                       been 19 cases of ADL new highs in August since 1965.  In 15 cases (79%),
                                       the DJI topped out either immediately, in September or by the end of October
                                       and then fell, at least, to the lower 3% lower band.  The additional gains in
                                       all these cases where the DJI soon topped out were under 2%.  But note
                                       that there were four cases when the DJI kept rising and two of these were
                                       cases where the V-I was negative and one was last year. 

                                       (See the next Table where these are posted in green.)  So, as long as the ADL
                                       is in a rising trend, I think we must give the DJI more room to advance.
                                       Only Bearish MINCPs are recommended as shorts at this point, not DIA...
                                       But know that we willlikely get a new Sell S9-V if the DJI closes 2.4%
                                       over the 21-dma.  That is about 1.3% higher than where we closed today.
                                       This would seem to limit the upside for now.

                                       There 7 instances cases where the V-I was negative, as now, as the
                                       the A/D Line made a new high in August.  In 5 cases, the DJI quickly
                                       declines to the lower band, at least.  But in 2 cases, 2006 and 2017,
                                       the DJI made a series of new highs and kept rising through the end
                                       of the year.

                                             August A/D NH                  Next Top and Decline to Lower Band.

==================================================================================


                          The Fed is slow to raise rates.  Hence the strength in Utilities and REITs,
                          as well as the A/D line.  Watch the Professionals action in SPY, DIA and QQQ.
                          Do not fight the the FED or these Professionals, at this time.

                          The odds do favor the DJI stalling out in the next month without much additional
                           gain.    But the cases of 2006 and 2017 show that it is possible for the DJI to keep rising
                           even in the normally bearish month of September.  We can understand this to be the
                           result of the strong Dollar and the limited rise in interest rates, so far.  Weakness
                           in mnay foreign markets right now is attracting foreign funds and also allowing the
                           Big Banks and performance-minded fund managers to keep the bull market going,
                           for at least a while longer.

                8-
16-2018   Our Peerless S9-v still operates.  The V-Indicator is still
                                      quite negative; so with the DJI back to its recent highs, it will
                                      be much harder for the DJI to advance unless there is concrete
                                      evidence that the trade wars are actually ending. 

                                      But make no mistake about it, the big Banks do not want much of
                                      a sell-off now before the November Election.  They apparently,
                                      do not want to take a chance on even a small decline.  Hence, the
                                      manipulated, much higher opening today using the highest priced
                                      DJI stocks as their agents.  With Professionals doing their best
                                      to hold the DIA up, I would prefer not to short DIA in these conditions.

                                      The NASDAQ and tech stocks made much smaller gains.  ADBE,
                                      FB, GOOG, NFLX, NVDA and most semi-conductors fell today.
                                      The SP-500 and SPY have reached the apex of potential head/shoulders.
                                      They would seem more vulnerable than the DJI.  But I would prefer
                                      to short the weakest MINCPs and use breaks of the Closing Power
                                      downtrends with these to tell us when to cover.

                         NASDAQ is in a narrowing trading range.  Support is at its rising 65-dma
                         but there is a lot of resistance at 8000.  Our Nifty Tech Stocks show quite
                         similar boundaries, for now. NASD816.GIF (11666 bytes)

                                                                                 Manipulation?

                                      How dare we say that the market is being heavily "manipulated" now?
                                      Perhaps, the big DJI gain today was simply the result of relief
                                      that there might be a cessation in the trade war, which would especially
                                      hurt many big DJI stocks like BA and CAT.   That could also explain why
                                      the DJI's rise was much bigger than the other indexes'.

                                      I still favor the "manipulation" explanation. 

                                      1) The Big Banks have a vested interest in keeping Trumps' supporters
                                      in Congress for another term.  The strong "economy" is their most
                                      compelling argument.  Why risk a market melt-down?

                                      2) Is there any proof that the Big Banks' trading for their own accounts is
                                      seriously limited or regulated?  There is no public scrutiny.  And
                                      they have virtually unlimited trading funds,  also courtesy of the FED. 

                                      3) They only need to buy in the lighter-trading Futures market and then
                                     later push up the prices of a  handful of individual DJI stocks at the
                                     opening in collusion with market makers to bring about a big advance.  
                                     I think that's what we saw today "in spades"!

                                     Most of today's big rally took place because of just five stocks in the DJIA:
                                     (BA +14.20), WMT (8.42), CAT (4.24), GS (+3.75) and AAPL (+3.08). 
                                     These accounted for 229 of the DJI's 398 point rise.  One other stock,
                                     WMT (+8.42) added 51 more points to the DJIA.  



                                                                          Short Sales Anyone?
                                                                         
                                     Gold fell again today.  I would hold by my asessment that a number of foreign
                                     countries are slipping closer to recession.  The decline in Gold reflects
                                     their need to raise funds.  I would put India, Japan and Russia in that camp.
                                     More weakness in Gold, Oil and Gas, which Russia produces a lot of,
                                     could easily cause another recession there.  Putin recently has had to increase
                                     the retirement age, all the while he must spend very large sums to match
                                     the Americans' build-up.  All this should make RSX a good short sale.  It
                                     could collapse again, as it did in 1998.  In general, look at the stocks making
                                     new lows for ideas here.  The Closing Power should be making a new low. 
                                     Ideally, the AI/200 should be below 65 and the IP21 should be below its
                                     own 21-dma.

               8-
15-2018   Our Peerless S9-v still operates and warns that any rally back to
                                     25500 will have a difficult time because NYSE Up Volume is
                                     probably not high enough to bring a breakout.  So, stay short a selection
                                     of our recent Bearish MINCPs.  The Futures are up +200.  But if
                                     there is a DJI rally up close to 25500 -25500, we will considering going
                                     short DIA or SPY. 

                                            Will "Tahiti" Techs Turn Around Tomorrow?

NIFT815.GIF (15618 bytes)

                                     Watch the big techs tomorrow.  Our Index shows that they have fallen
                                     to their rising 65-dma.  This past year they have always turned up at
                                     this point.

DATA815.GIF (16519 bytes)

                                     With the Dollar very strong and intgrest rates not so high yet as to
                                     cause a  recession in the US,  Professionals came back into the market
                                     to buy after an hour and a half of trading.  A lot is at stake because of
                                     the Congressional elections this Fall.  Wall Street's big banks
                                     have their own strong interest in propping up the general market.
                                     It will be important to see if the big jump today can be built upon
                                     after the opening.  If not, it will be a sign of weakness, I would say.

                                    

SPY815.GIF (13403 bytes)
                                     
                                    
Today's late recovery in the Blue Chips, big Techs and the major
                                     market ETFs must soon begin spreading to other stocks.  This
                                     will be difficult.  Our Table 5 below shows that a majority of the sectors we
                                     follow now have most of their stocks below the key support of the 65-dma. 
                                     Many will have trouble getting up past that resistance.  In addition, our
                                     Table 2 below shows bearish ratios of 2:1 for new highs to new lows,
                                     Closing Power new highs to CP new lows and Day Trader Tool new lows
                                     to new highs.  So,  any major market ETF rally now may be limited in the
                                     number of stocks and sectors it brings along.

                                     That should not adversely affect our short sales in the Bearish MINCPs.
                                     But it should let the "Tahiti" tech stocks in our "NIFTY" data base advance.

                                                              
US as The "Last Man Standing"

                                   
The big weakness again today was mostly in Gold, Foreign ETFs and
                                     now Oil stocks. The Dollar's strength will act to draw in more foreign money
                                     into US stocks and bonds.  But Gold's extreme weakness almost certainly shows
                                     that one or more overseas' governments are desperately raising funds because of
                                     their financial problems.  The new US tariffs on these countries goods will surely
                                     hurt their economies.  If this trend worsens, Trump tariffs could end up
                                     causing a world-wide recession.  With US tech stocks and major market ETFs
                                     being priced for strong growth for at least two more years, serious economic
                                     weakness in Europe, Japan, Latin America, China and Russia could be very
                                     hurtful to the US in the end.   The Trump tax cuts have increased buying power,
                                     but probably not as much as they have caused stocks to rise.  The basic problem
                                     of the 1920s could well repeat.  With no sign that workers' real wages are rising
                                     as fast as Inflation, it is unclear who exactly will be the consumers for what our
                                     factories are making. 


                                    
Let's keep watching the Tiger Index of Foreign ETFs, YINN (China) and the
                                     charts of Ford and Caterpillar, two important US manufacturers.

               8-
14-2018  The Sell S9-V still stands and urges us to be very cautious
                                    and do some more hedging with our Bearish MINCPs.
    The
                                    futures are down, suggesting that we are returning to the pattern
                                    where big Money has no patience and wants out quickly.  Will
                                    Professionals move in later tomorrow to support the market.

                                    Wall Street does not want a big decline before the November Election.
                                    But have they still the power to hold things together?


                                   
Breadth today turned positive and the DJI rallied to try to close its
                                    gap down last week.  A rally to 25500 and reversal back down would
                                    set up a right shoulder in a bearish-looking head/shoulders pattern.
                                    See DIA chart just below for this.  Because the V-I in the DJIA chart remains
                                    negative, a rally beyond 25550 would only bring another Sell S9-v
                                    and very likely not a valid breakout. See the V-I in the second chart
                                    below.

                                Short-term interest rates moved above 2%.  The Dollar responded by
                                making a 12-month new high.  This delighted the shareholders in the big
                                banks.   GS recovered 2.7.  The strong Dollar also helping some retailers
                                buy goods overseas more cheaply despite the Trump tariffs.  But for construction
                                and housing stocks, it was not good news.  For Gold stocks it was the worst
                                of all worlds. The decline in foreign ETFs continues and could easily worsen
                                given the rising interest rates in the US and the strong Dollar..

                                No doubt, the US is the haven for hot, worried international money.  The
                                money is not going only into Bonds as a haven, it is flowing into the booming tech
                                sector.   Our Index of 41 big tech stocks still shows a steady up-trend, though
                                this does seem to have stalled, at least temporarily.

                                And for Gold stocks, it was the worst of all worlds: 1) a rising Dollar, 2) rising
                                short-term rates and 3) apparently no serious inflation (leaving out stocks, real estate,
                                rents and health care!).  I have been reluctant to recommend shorting Gold stocks,
                                but as long as you cover short sales when their Closing Power downtrends are
                                broken, such shorting has limited risks.  Since big declines usually see strong rises
                                in gold prices for at least a month or two prior to the DJI top, it would seem the
                                stock market has limited downside risk.  But until Peerless gives a new Buy signal,
                                I think we should be hedged. 

                                Trump's tariff wall could cause our previous trading partners into a recession.
                                That would hurt American exports.  In the end, we would be importing their
                                recession, just at the time when our stocks are being priced for lots more
                                growth!

====================================================================
                         8-
13-2018  The Sell S9-V still stands.  Its bearish outcomes in the
                                              Summers of 1997, 1998 and 2011 should keep us very cautious,
                                              though I believe the market will do all it can to simply
                                              go sidewise until the November Election is over.  But what
                                              if the Big Boys lose control....  For now, do some more
                                              hedging with our Bearish MINCPs.
If there is a brief rally
                                              as the DJI tries to close Friday's gap down, we should sell short DIA.
 

                                             
More and more stocks are dropping below the support of their 65-dma.
                                              The percentage of all stocks above that key ma has fallen to 49%.
                                              As a result, the NYSE ADL has broken its steep 3-month up-trend.  Following
                                              Sell S9-Vs in the Summers of 1997, 1998 and 2011 this soon
                                              was followed by 11%-17% declines from the DJI's recent peak.
                                              Anything more than 8% decline from the DJI's recent peak would
                                              bring a new closing for the year.  This would be quite dangerous,
                                              as there have been multiple tests of the 23400-23500 support.
                                              And I think we can be sure that any such rupture of 23200 would cause a
                                              big rush into leveraged shorts on the big index funds. 

                                             
The Peerless key internal strength indicators worsened.  The P-I
                                              has turned negative.  This will make it harder to get a buy signal
                                              on a decline to the lower band.  The Accumulation Index has dropped
                                              below its 21-dma.  Big money can no longer be counted on to support
                                              the market.  The taxcut buy-backs are losing their lifting power.
                                              And the V-I worsened, making any quick DJI rally to the upper
                                              band now (in an effort to masquerade the market as stronger than
                                              it really is) will likely fail miserably as we go into the normally
                                              bearish period from September to early October.

Immediately ahead, the DJI may try to rally.  It has fallen four
                                              straight days and Tuesday's do often bring "turn-arounds".  But, the
                                              Hourly DJI chart below shows that a rally of 200 or 300 points could
                                              bring the DJI back up to the resistance of a right-shoulder apex
                                              in a potential head/shoulders pattern. If the DJI then started another
                                              decline at this point, the Hourly DJI would show a bearish head/shoulders
                                              pattern.   We will closely watch the Hourly volume on the rally.  It must
                                              improve considerably to maintain an uptrend.

                                             How dangerous is the situation now?  Professionals usually know best.
                                              There are still lots of stocks that they are buying.  They key ETFs'
                                              Closing Powers are still above their 21-dma.  See Table 1. From this
                                              vantage point, a lot will depend on whether Professionals turn bearish
                                              on SPY (whose Closing Power is now sitting on its uptrendline) and on the
                                              elite high-volume tech stocks which still enjoy a rising and ADL uptrend.
                                              See these charts below.

                                                                   Other Technical Considerations

                                             
Two more things, if the market were about to collapse, we should see
                                              more head/shoulders patterns in the DJI-30 stocks.  Perhaps, 11 or 13.
                                              Right now, the count is only IBM, INTC, MMM, CAT and possibly
                                              BA (which must be watched.)


                                           
  Lastly,  if the market were about suffer a big decline, Gold should be advancing. 
                                              But that is just not so now.  The CPI is not rising fast enough and performance-
                                              minded fund managers want nothing to do with Gold in its doldrums.  But
                                              perhaps, the CPI is hopelessly mis-calculated and the dumping in Gold
                                              is by countries, like Russia, which are experiencing severe economic problems.
                                              See its massive head/shoulders.

                        8-
10-2018   The Sell S9-V still stands and urges us to be very cautious
                                              and do some more hedging with our Bearish MINCPs.

                                              The DJI and the other key indexes have shown themselves
                                              unable to overcome their overhead resistance.  The Peerless
                                              S9-V and negative V-I allowed only nominal recovery new highs.
                                              So, now with fears of a Democratic come-back in November
                                              growing, a Trump shut-down of the Federal Goverment still
                                              looming and foreign ETFs getting slugged by sellers <1>, US
                                              indexes, ETFs, stocks and commodities are now being subjected
                                              to new waves of selling; hence the gap downwards Friday on increased
                                              volume and the weakness in the futures this morning.
<1> 
Interest rates are well over 20% in Turkey.   https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/11/business/turkey-lira-crisis.html?emc=edit_th_180813&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=582238940813
                                             
                                              I've been saying since 2011, when S9-Vs were invented, that these
                                              Sells can bring significant declines to the DJI even when the NYSE
                                              A/D Line seems strong if the DJI fails to breakout (like it did do
                                              in 1996) and, instead, the A/D Line and the NASDAQ
                                              break their uptrends. 
It is the ruptures of the A/D Line and
                                              NASDAQ uptrends that we must be on the watch for now.
  If the
                                              experiences of 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2011 play out here, we will
                                              be lucky to see only a 10% decline in the next two months.

                                              We should sell TECL.  It gave a red Sell at the close on Friday.
                                              Short more of the Bearish MINCPs is my advise and take trading
                                              profits in some of the long MAXCPs if they break their CP uptrends.

                                              It will be quite interesting to see if Professionals rescue the key
                                              ETFs on Monday or Tuesday this coming week and they show
                                              big advances after early weakness.  When the intermediate-term uptrend
                                              was alive and well, that is what they did.  But it's not so clear that
                                              they will do this now.
                                             
                                              DJI - watch NYSE breadth on Monday.  It will determine if
                                              the four-month A/D Line uptrend will be violated.   DATA810.GIF (16367 bytes)

                 DIA - watch to see if we get a bullish closing far above the opening
                 on our candle-stick chart and the CP uptrendline is saved from being
                 violated.

More To Worry about!

                                              We knew that market participants would start worrying about
                                              the outcome of this November's mid-term Elections.  But now
                                              there are other concerns.  First and foremost, is the acellerating
                                              decline of some "emerging" fianancial markets, especially
                                              Turkey.   Second, is President Trump's continuing obsession with
                                              building a new and higher Wall on our southern border with Mexico
                                              even though American tax payers must pay for it.  He threatens
                                              to not sign a new Budget unless he gets his Wall.  So, this raises the
                                              again the issue of a Government Shut-Down.  How would such an
                                              event affect US Government Credit and interest rates?  The best
                                              parallels to these events are seen in 1997, 1998 and 2011.  Similar
                                              events in those years brought DJI declines of 13%-19%.  And what
                                              if China decides to sell even a small portion of its holding in US
                                              Treasuries out of pique with the new American tariffs? 

                                              What I draw from all this is that we should take seriously the lessons
                                              offered by the Peerless charts for 1997, 1998 and 2011, namely that
                                              serious trouble for the market began in the Summer in these years
                                              when the previously strong NYSE A/D Line uptrend was violated.

====================================================================
                       8-
9-2018   The DJI seems unable to get past its red resistance shown below.
                                          This invites more selling in big blue chips.  The Sell S9-V has not
                                          been reversed and the V-I worsened.  But the NYSE A/D Line is
                                          still rising and the our short-term indicators for the key ETFs remain
                                          in uptrends.  These are the 5-day moving averages and the Closing
                                          Powers.   So, the DJI may try again to make another try to fet past
                                          its resistance.  But I would by surprised if it can get past 26000.  The
                                          Peerless V-I is still negative and the Hourly DISI-OBV is noticeably
                                          weaker than the Hourly DJI itself.

                                          Naturally, our Peerless must be concerned with the DJI's likely moves. 
                                          But these would appear to be getting smaller and smaller.  That is the reason
                                          our Hotline is paying more and more attention, first, to the much stronger,
                                          high Accumulation, high volume tech stocks represented by the "Tahiti
                                          Tech" favorites, now INTU and AMZN as well as TECL.  These
                                          show exceptionally prolonged and positive institutional Accumulation.
                                          We reason that they are nightly held and are probably Buys at the
                                          the support of their rising 65-dma. 

                                          TECL is a good alternative to the DJI and DIA.  But we want to traded it
                                          with our Tiger tools and it's automatic Red signals if they have been very
                                          effective, as now.  Note that TECL may get an optimized red Sell tomorrow if
                                          its Stochastic-14 drop should drop back below 80.  Any decline by it
                                          would do this.  This would mean we should take trading profits in it even
                                          though its CLosing Power and 5-day ma would still be rising.

                                          Secondly, we watch the Bullish MAXCPs for explosive super stocks
                                          showing breakouts, major Tiger Buys and high Accumulation.  These
                                          are often special situations that can go up even in a down general market.
                                          The mining for these stocks in such a long bull market is difficult.  So, we
                                          want to be very fussy.  XENE has the best chart I can find tonight.  But,
                                          it turns out that it has just reported a big earnings deficit.  That complicates
                                          the stock's outlook and so it probably should be avoided.

                                         Thirdly, we I recommend shorting some of the Bearish MINCPs
                                          that have just broken below price support..

======================================================================
                     8-
8-2018     Our short-term indicators remain in uptrends but Peerless stubbornly
                                          still shows a Sell S9-V.  In the Summer, this is a signal that can bring
                                          a top and big decline even when the NYSE A/D Line is making new
                                          highs. (See the 2011 chart below).  But this combination can also 
                                          produce a high volume breakout, as in 1996, which sends the
                                          market and especially the NASDAQ much higher.  It is this
                                          example that sparks our interest in TECL and the Tahiti tech
                                          stocks.

                                          Right now volume is low and there appears still to be considerable
                                          DJI resistance just overhead.  But with the NASDAQ clearly in an
                                          uptrend, there remains a reasonable chance that DJI will belatedly
                                          be able to breakout above its red resistance shown below.   And
                                          even if it does not breakout, some will say that the NASDAQ is
                                          more important anyway, just as they did in 2000 when the NASDAQ
                                          rose for ten weeks longer than the DJI did.

                                          If the bullish 1996 example of a B10 over-riding the S9-V is valid here,
                                          then the V-Indicator will need to turn positive soon.  That's one
                                          the indicators we should watch closely now.  Alternatively, a failure
                                          by the DJI to breakout and a rupture by the NASDAQ of its uptrendline
                                          would make the market resemble 2011 right before it dropped 17% as
                                          a government shut-down threatened to hurt US Treasuries' credit rating.

                                          For the present, DIA, the DJI, NASDAQ, QQQ and TECL show
                                          rising 5-day moving averages that cannot easily turn down tomorrow
                                          and all their Closing Powers are in rising trends.  Let's see if there
                                          is more ujpside potential.  The NIFTY-TECH chart could also breakout
                                          for a spectacular and climactic advance.  So, the Tahiti tech stocks
                                          must be held. 

                                          But for those of you who want to hedge, look at how very weak many
                                          of our BEARISH MINCPs were today.  Trump's economics are creating
                                          two camps of stocks.  On the one hand the best of the tech stocks are
                                          doing very well because of the tax cuts and the economc growth.  On the
                                          other hand, there are some others that are sliding down quite dangerously,
                                          partly part because of tariffs partly because interest rate rises will hurt
                                          their ability to finance their considerable debt, present and prospective
                                          and partly because their over-extended customers are become cautious.

                    8-
7-2018       The DJI opened above the 25550 resistance but could not make any
                                          further headway.  The SP-500 is still below its 12 high and the Midcap
                                          MDY also failed to achieve a breakout.  So, no judged Buy B10 can
                                          be granted.  A clear breakout above the DJI's flat resistance is needed.
                                          Bearishly, the V-I Indicator is negative and today there were only 184
                                          more up than down on the NYSE as Short-term interest rates rose above
                                          2% for the first time in years.  At least, the trade wars are quiet.

                                          As you can see from Table 1, the key ETFs 5-day moving averages
                                          and Closing Powers are all still rising.  Traders should give the market
                                          more chance to advance.

                                          TECL should be held still.  It has the highest IP21 + ITRS total among the
                                          major ETFs.  It should be helped if SOXL and the semi-conductors rise
                                          further.   Tahiti Techs rose today. NVDA is close to aborting its head/
                                          shoulders pattern.   This should cause a new rush of short-covering and
                                          boost TECL more.   The two highest AI/200 big techs at the end of June
                                          2018 were INTU and AMZN.  They rose nicely today.

                                          In all this, our Sell S9 has not been reversed and there were many
                                          more attractive short sales among the Bearish MINCPs than
                                          bullish-looking longs among the MAXCPs.   Hedging with some Bearish
                                          MINCPs seems a good idea while we wait and see if there is more to
                                          the August rally.

====================================================================
                    8-
6-2018      Cover the DIA Short.   The DJI  and MDY seem on the verge flat
                                          top breakouts.  SPY is only two points from its January high closing.
                                          The NASDAQ is about 70 points from its yearly high of a week ago.
                                          QQQ only needs to rise by 1.62 to make its own all-time high.  With the
                                          A/D Line rising steadily, it seems best to close out our DIA short.
                                          
                                          A close above 25550 by the DJI should be judged a Buy B10 breakout. 
                                          Note the flat resistance zone on the chart below.  It's true the V-I is
                                          negative, but the short-term trend is clearly up, whether because
                                          interest rates will not be raised for a while or because oil prices will
                                          be going up sharply as the Trump Adm. re-imposes sanctions
                                          on Iran.  (This usually lifts CVX and XOM in the DJI-30.)  I admit
                                          Volume could certainly be higher, but the flat top breakout
                                          cannot be safely ignored.      With DIA's Closing Power and 5-dma
                                          both rising, the short-trend is UP and a breakout-run looms likely.

                                          Watch the MDY to see if it can achieve a flat-top breakout.  It will
                                          also not take much of an advance tomorrow to bring in a lot of short-
                                          covering.   This will almost certainly benefit the Tahiti high techs.

                                          Stay long TECL.  It is our preferred long ETF here. In Table 1
                                          below, you can see that it has the highest IP21 + ITRS score
                                          followed by OIL and FAS.  IBB has lagged recently, but should
                                          play catchup.

                                          Watch MDY.  It is on the verge of a flat-top breakout into
                                          all-time high territory, where it more can easily run.

                    8-
3-2018      Hold DIA Short.   I take the Peerless S9-V to still stand. 
                                          The V-I on the DJI chart is now negative and will probably
                                          worsen given the days that we will be dropping off in its
                                          21-day ma. calculations.  Without more Up Volume, it will be
                                          hard for the DJI to surpass 25550.

                                          Besides being long some of our bullish MAXCPs and short
                                          some of the MINCPs, consider owning TECL (representing
                                          big tech stocks) or IBB (biotechs) .  They typically top out
                                          after the DJI.  They have the highest combination, IP21 + ITRS. 
                                         (See Table 1).  We should closely watch the 14-day Stochastic for TECL.
                                         Its signals have been particularly good over the last year.  There
                                         can be no guarantee for the future, of course, but traders using
                                         this Stochastic appear to be in control of TECL.

                       Bullishly, the Nifty Index has just risen back above its rising 65-dma.

                       Note that the highest AI/200 stock in our Nifty-54 is now INTU.  It is
                       our current "Tahiti Tech" pick.

                                          I would be a lot more bearish, except that the S9s are not based
                                          breadth divergences.  In fact, the breadth-based P-I has shown real
                                          resiliency, being positive for more than 44 straight days.  I
                                          think this shows that the FED is not going to raise rates soon. 
                                          They want the market to remain strong going into the November
                                          Election.   Friday's unexpectedly weaker Jobs number for July gives
                                          the "doves" on the FOMC the ammunition they need to delaying more hikes.
                                          This will help dividend stocks, bonds, utilites and REITs and
                                          this, in turn, keeps the NYSE A/D Line rising which makes traders
                                          content.                                          

                                          My judgement is that there still may be a decline to the lower band
                                          coming up.  The reason: there still remains the partisan fear on
                                          Wall Street that the Republican control of Congress might be reversed. 
                                          That uncertainty is actually normal and helps explain why the DJI's
                                          behavior is much more mediocre in August in the years of a mid-term
                                          Election than otherwise since 1965.

                   8-
2-2018       Hold DIA Short.   I take the Peerless S9-V to still
                                          be standing. 

DATA802.GIF (18485 bytes)

                                         
But Buy TECL, IBB and some of the very high
                                          Accumulation/high relative strength tech stocks.
  We came
                                          very close to getting a Peerless Buy B18 oday.  See more
                                          below).

                                          Our Tiger "Tahiti" (It can be traded casually from a pleasant
                                          vacation home.) does not yet show top formations here and now
                                          the P-Indicator has been positive for 42 straight days.  Interestingly,
                                          both the number of NASDAQ new highs (96) and NASDAQ new lows (100)
                                          today were sufficiently high to make hedging with our MAXCPs
                                          and MINCPs look mutually and simultaneously profitable.


                                          Tomorrow we get to see July's US Job's Report.   A number higher than
                                          the 213,000 reported last month for June would normally be expected to give
                                          a big jump to the stock market as bulls show off their enthusiasm and optimism. 
                                          Some worry that too good a number will cause the Fed to raise rates in
                                          September.  But my guess is that the FED will keep rates unchanged until after
                                          the November Election.  The bigger concern,  I think, is that a big rise in jobs
                                          and profits has already been built into the DJIA.  So, another good economic
                                          report is apt to bring some profit-taking on the news, at least in the DJI. 

                                          But tech stocks are another matter.  They are rising, if I am right, because
                                          performance-minded fund managers are unusually confident and because they
                                          must chase the strongest stocks.  In addition, more and more investors see the
                                          fast-growing NASDAQ tech stocks as the best way to cope with the coming
                                          Inflation, inevitably born of an economic boom, tighter labor markets, new tariffs
                                          and also higher interest rates (which just get passed onto consumers).

                                                                       Buy TECL and IBB

                                                                     The Tech Boom Should Continue.

                                          There is no doubt that the magificent performance of AMZN, AAPL, NVDA and
                                          INTU creates a bubble of speculative confidence which cannot easily be ended.
                                          Typically, such stocks show blatant IP21 negative non-confirmations and head
                                          shoulders before they can reverse.  We do not see that in these stocks.

                                          As long as the NYSE A/D Line stays in its uptrend, we have credible evidence
                                          that interest rates are not going to be raised in a way that puts the market at
                                          risk.   In that environment, the highest AI/200 (most consistently accumulated
                                          tech stocks should keep rising.  Consider using the list of the top "Tahiti" tech stocks
                                          since the end of 2016 as the stocks which should be very good performers
                                          for 21 months after their appearance in our ranking OR until Peerless gives a
                                          breadth based Sell S9 OR the NYSE A/D Line uptrend is violated after
                                          an S9-V.

                                          Stay short DIA but also be long some of the high Accumulation Tahiti techs

                                                                  Why Stay Short DIA?

                                         The Peerless Sell S9 still stands, assuming you use the current version of Peerless.
                                         But note that pre-July 2018 versions of Peerless did get Buy B18 with today's data
                                         because the P-Indicator achieved 42 straight days of being positive today
                                         and the V-I is positive. The reason why we got no such B18 (though we can
                                         factor that in by buying tech stocks) is because older versions of Peerless did not
                                         produce a Sell S9-V on 7/18/2018.  It is the presence recently of that signal that
                                         prevents the B18 on our current software. 


                                        I recommend trusting the current version of Peerless. First, it has been back-tested
                                        much more fully. Secondly, the 7/18/2018  S9-V looks valid. On that date,
                                        the DJI closed 2.44% over the 21-dma and showed a negative V-I (-27) and
                                        a negative IP21 (current Accumulation of -.002).  Thirdly, I see the nearly negative
                                        V-I as a bearish sign which warns that the DJI is not likely to get past its resistance
                                        25550, at least, not so easily as IBB and TECL can run into all-time high ground.
                                        The DJI chart of 2005 below shows how difficult it is to overcome resistance
                                        in August when the V-I is negative or nearly so..

   2 months' straight positive P-I in early August with overhead-resistance
   and low V-I Readings required another test of lower band before DJI and
   market could make a good rally.

          8/
1/2018    The Peerless Sell S9-V stands.  Same message as last night.  Stay short DIA. 
                            It's short-term price uptrend has been violated.  See DIA's red candle-sticks now.
                            Hedge by being long some of the Bullish MAXCP Biotechs and short some
                            of the many very weak Bearish MINCPs.


                            Remember that the DJI is quite capable of leading the general market
                            down after S9-Vs, especially if the uptrend of the NYSE A/D line is violated.
                            The best examples of this are in the Summer of 2001 and 2011.  I show their
                            charts below the DJI's and DIA' just below. 

                            The NASDAQ's relative strength versus the DJI is in a downtrend.  Speculators
                            are nervous and profit-taking in the super techs is likely to continue.

          7/
31/2018    The Peerless Sell S9-V stands.  Stay short DIA.  Hedge by being long
                              some of the Bullish MAXCP and short some of the Bearish MINCPs.

                                             The DJI is near its apparent ceiling of 25550.
                                             A retreat back to 24500 would seem likely.

                                                           "Tahiti" Stock Picks.

                              The data is in for 2000-2018.  The "Tahiti" picks using our new system
                              work very well.  But I have revised some aspects of trading with it.
                              Get the E-Book for $50 and see for yourself.

                              BA is now the highest AI/200 DJI stock.  As the DJI-30's "Tahiti" stock,
                              it should probably be bought at its rising 65-dma at 349, seven points lower.
                              Wild swinging AMZN and INTU are the top "Tahiti" tech stocks at this
                              juncture. The best place to buy AMZN is probably at its rising 65-dma,
                              which is 100 points lower than today's close.  INTU has also been a star
                              performer for a long time. It is now sitting right on its rising 65-dma and
                              would seem to be an attractive long-term Tahiti holding if its Closing Power
                              will hook back up now.  The new Tahiti Tech research suggests that most
                              of these super-strong high AI/200 stocks need to form a head/shoulders
                              top before they can go into a tail-spin of profit-taking.  INTU's AI/200 score
                              is also very high, at 188.  That should help hold it up, too.  Of course, if the
                              NYSE A/D Line were to break its longer-term uptrendline, I would hold off
                              buying in view of the Peerless Sell S9-V.

                                                   AI/200 of 188 is very high for INTU

INTU731.GIF (16722 bytes)

                             
                              While we do see a series of S9-Vs on the DJI chart, they are not based on any
                              serious breadth divergences yet.  Meanwhile, the DJI's IP21 is quite high and
                              the NYSE A/D Line is still in an uptrend.  As a consequence, I suspect
                              the Professional selling (See Table 2) will be over in a week or two.

                              Yahoo has been running articles again which have been telling investors
                              that a Crash lies just ahead.  The Trump Administration obviously wants
                              to avoid this.  So, we hear new talk from them about another tax cut plus
                              tariff reductions, not tariff increases.  This is meant to shore up the stock
                              market before the Fall Election.  Whether it will actually become more
                              than talk seems doubtful.  I suspect Wall Street is getting a little unnerved by
                              the desperation this talk suggests.  And that is how I would interpret the
                              now active Peerless Sell S9-V.  But will Trump's pro-Wall Street
                              agenda will lose many votes?  No one knows.  That uncertainty suggests
                              the tendency to take profits on strength in the DJI near 25500 will continue. 
                              Professional waiting to buy until the DJI falls back to 24000 could well maintain
                              the existing trading range right up to the actual Election. 


                             
Wall Street has every right to be concerned about the potential of Inflation,
                              about the near certainty of higher interest rates and about the exhausted American
                              Consumer who is loaded up with too much debt.  But fortunately for Wall Street,
                              most Democrats are not "populists" and are only too happy to take money from
                              the "fat cats" there while basing most of their criticism of Trump on his desire
                              to get along with the Russians.  While the new "cold-war" is certainly the main
                              theme most every day of the NY Times, of nearly all CNN and MSNBC
                              commentators, I get the sense that this theme is not getting Democrats
                              many new votes.  People tend to vote their pocket-books and Trump's bull
                              market and the good Job market will count for more in November than
                              anti-Russian fear-mongering.


                             
Our preferred trading posture is to remain short DIA and some of the ugliest
                              (most bearish looking) MINCPs and long some of best performing Biotechs.
                              This group did move up today.  It's also true that many oversold NASDAQ
                              tech stocks did rally today, "turn around" Tuesday.  But the many recent
                              "false breakouts" among them should keep traders nervous and cautious.

====================================================================
         7/
30/2018     The Peerless Sell S9-V Continues.  It's "turnaround Tuesday" and
                              the DJI may try to rally again, but I would not expect much more than
                              a bounce   If Peerless is right, the whole market, including the DJI, too,
                              needs to pullback to better support now that there has been a false breakout
                              by the DJI over 25500 resistance and now that there have been so many false
                              breakouts by TECL, QQQ and the leading tech stocks.  In addition, the
                              the V-I is just barely positive.  So, I suspect that the the uncertainties of the
                              Fall Election will increasingly weigh on the market.and we will see more weakness. 
                              It may be only profit-taking.  But that remains to be seen.    The weakest internal
                              strength readings are now seen in IWM and MDY in Table 1.  For those who
                              trade the general market ETFs, I suggest it would probably be good to short
                              them if there is no "Tuesday turnaround" tomorrow. 

DATA730.GIF (20914 bytes)

                             To turn the market up Tuesday, we will need to see the NYSE A/D Line rise
                             convincingly from its rising support line and not break it.  Today, there were
                             only 261 more down than up on the NYSE.   The chart above shows the
                             A/D Line resting on its steep uptrend.

                             Watch the Closing Power for DIA and the DJIA tomorrow. It is still rising.
                             Lots of weakness tomorrow after an up-opening would be quite bearish. 
                             It would make the Closing Power fall and break its uptrend. 

DIA730.GIF (17987 bytes)

                             Note, too, that it would take a DJI decline of more than 70 tomorrow to turn
                             this short-term momentum indicator down. 

                             Finally note also that the IP21 of DIA is now a relatively high +.219.  This is the
                             highest reading for this indicator of likely support on weakness among all the key major
                             market ETFs.   From this, it follows that DIA may be held up a while longer
                             even if ETFs with much lower IP21 and ITRS numbers drop more and
                             possibly even if the techs break their key supports and their 65-dma supports.

                             For a bigger decline to take place, we need to see the following other negative                                technicals occur.

                              1) The V-Indicator on the Peerless chart will need to drop back below 0.

                              2) The NYSE A/D Line will need to turn much more negative that today and
                              bring about a break in its uptrend.

                              3) The highest AI stocks, INTU (AI/200=190), POOL (AI/200=181),
                              HUBS (AI/200=173) and GDDY (AI/200=171) will need to fall convincingly
                              below the support of their 65-dma. If they do not do this, it will appear that
                              their current declines are simple profit-taking.  See their charts among the
                              Bullish MAXCPs today.

TECL730.GIF (20222 bytes)

                              4) QQQ, TECL, IWM and MDY will need to break decisively below their
                              65-dma.

====================================================================
         7/
27/2018     The Peerless Sell S9-V still stands.  There was no "judged B10" because
                              the marginal DJI breakout over the 25500 resistance failed on Friday. 

                              With the V-I still only barely positive, do not expect the DJI to quickly
                              surpass 25550.
  On the other hand, the NYSE A/D Line uptrend and the
                              DJI's positive Accumulation Index will work to support the DJI in here.
                              So, we will need to see more weak DJI closings vis-a-vis their openings to
                              show that bearish Professionals are in control.  That there will be more
                              post-opening weakness, see Table 1 where Professionals are shown to
                              be mostly net bearish and see the Bullish MAXCPs today and how
                              unimpressive they look compared to most days or the Bearish MINCPs.
                             
If the expected weakness at the close does develop, short more of the MINCPs.

                                           The Trading Range Is Likely To Contain the DJI
                                           until we get closer to the November Election.

Friday was a very bad day for most of the leading Tech stocks.   As they have been
                              the leaders, a new round of larger profit-taking seems to have started.  This will hurt
                              the general market.  Most of these big tech stocks like AAPL, ADBE, ALXN, AMZN,
                              BABA, BBH, BIDU ... showed big and bearish (short-term) "red popcicles on Friday. 
                              QQQ and TECL also produced classic red popsicles on Friday.  This caused their
                              steep Closing Power uptrend to be violated.  But there is hope.  Many of these show
                              high Accumulation and their technicals could look much worse.  If QQQ and the big techs
                              also showed head/shoulders patterns and red Distribution, the future here would look a
                              lot more bearish.  Intermediate-term and longer term declines most often show these
                              addtional characteristics.  For the most part QQQ tech stocks do not show them. 

                              So, most likely, we will only see a week of short-term profit-taking.

                              Thursday night, I warned that we must watch the tech ETF TECL, representing these
                              tech stocks, to see if would hold or fail last week's breakout.  If it failed badly and closed
                              below its point of breakout,  I warned that this would nullify its marginal breakout and be
                              a real sign of danger for the general market since it has been the big tech stocks like these
                              that have been the backbone of the advance and the best performers for the last
                              five years.  A profit-taking retreat by them is probably now underway.  It will be up
                              to the DJI, especially the big banks and Boeing, to hold up the appearance that all is
                              still well. 
But since the DJI could not hold the 25500 level, I think we have to again
                              go short the DJI out of respect to the  S9-V
, which is still considered extant and intact,
                              Again, there there was no successful judged B10 breakout.  Judged B10s so not incorporate
                              declines back below the point of breakout.  They must be immediately successful.

                    ============================================================
         7/
26/2018     The Peerless Sell S9-V is not doing much to hold back the market.  Today, Facebook
                              fell 20% and the DJI, SP-500, OEX and NYSE refused to be shaken up.
                              I think realism requires us to view the DJI now as probably headed back to its peak of
                              this past January above 26500.  The key internal strength indicators we use, the A/D Line,
                              our P-I, IP21 and V-I, are all in rising  trends.  So is the Closing Power for each of
                              major market ETFs (DIA, SPY, QQQ and IWM).  The 5-dma are all rising, too. 
                              See Table 1 below.  And now the DJI has closed above its 25500 resistance. 

                             
So, I would suggest that traders close out their DIA short positions and not initiate
                              them again until we see new signs of market weakness
.   There are still plenty
                              of bearish-looking MINCPs to short as hedges.  But as for the DJIA, at the very least,
                              we will need to see the V-I turn back into negative territory and for DIA to close below its                                previous day's close after a big rise at the opening.  This would produce a bearish
                              "red popsicle" on our Candle Stick charts and also cause a big drop by the DIA's Closing"
                               Power.   Actually, I would prefer to see a new Peerless Sell, too.  As you can see,
                              the rally this week has failed to generate a new Peerless Sell.  The V-I has turned
                              positive.   If you want to, you can say that today's rally by the DJI has produced a
                              "judged Buy B10".  I will talk about this more on Sunday.

                                                    Buy B10s are confirmed flat-topped breakouts.

                                    The DJI has marginally achieved the judged B10 today.  The
                                    NYSE has done so by a wider margin.  We need to watch TECL's flat
                                    top breakout.  A failure by it tomorrow, namely a drop below its
                                    point of breakout, will be a bearish sign, but a recovery by it would be bullish
                                    and boost the odds of the other indexes making sustained advances.

                                                                Politics Rule

                              What has caused the market's recovery?
I would guess it's Wall Street's
                              new sense that policy-makers in the White House have seen the Light and now
                              appreciate how much a rising bull market can help an incumbent's political party. 
                              In other words, "let the stock market rally".  Get re-relected and then experiment
                              with tariffs, if you must.  This would account for the White House's apparent
                              decision to tone down all rhetoric about tariffs and Trump's decision this week to
                              delay meeting Putin to avoid seeming "soft" on Russia.
  

                             
My own guess is that Wall Street Seers believe that the FED will avoid
                              raising rates aggressively this Summer.  Trump's new appointees to the
                              FOMB will want to keep the market advancing strongly.  Only if Inflation
                              surpasses 3.5% or the Dollar weakens a lot will they act aggressively to raise
                              rates.  

                              And as a bonus to boost the market, I would expect new White House talk of
                              more tax cuts.  Democrats, of course, will claim them to be "unfair", but the truth
                              is that many blue-collar voters will gladly take a Republican tax-cut in place of a
                              Democrat promise of a new social program.  Only a market collapse and economic
                              slow-down would change that calculus.

====================================================================
         7/
25/2018     The DJI rose 200+, most of if coming in the last hour as Trump gave
                              traders hope that a tariff war with Europe was avoidable.  Who knows
                              if there will be substance here?  I expect the market by its behavior and
                              by its internal action to be our best clues.  Clearly, Wall Street likes "free" trade.
                              The Peerless V-I turned positive today, thereby preventing a new Sell S9-V.
                              A confirmed breakout above
25500 will have to be treated as a Buy B10,
                              much like the one in 1996 that over-turned a Sell S9V back then.                        https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/25/us/politics/trump-europe-trade.html?emc=edit_th_180726&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=582238940726

                              After after the market closed, Facebook told investors that its future revenues
                              would be much lower than was expected. Facebook's announcement will, no
                              doubt, ripple bearishly through the high-flying tech world tomorrow.  So, it's still
                              possible that our Peerless Sell-S9V may work out.  But this will depend on whether
                              the DJI's resistance at 25500 holds.  Right now, the Closing Powers, 5-day moving
                              averages, AD Line, P-I and IP21 are all rising.  Even the V-I turned positive today,
                              though it's falling back into negative territory would be a bearish sign.

                             
When the DJI is near an all-time high (26616.71 ) or could make a
                              price-breakout that could produce a run back to the old highs, I think
                              we should be especially vigilant.  New all-time highs in the DJI have a way of
                              rising much farther and longer than most shorts can hold their positions.  Whether
                              this is a result "irrational exuberance" (Greenspan), "animal spirits" (Keynes),
                              or political pump-priming in an election year (by the Fed or by Congress),
                              it does not matter, we have to be able to switch our trading positions in
                              a timely fashion.

                             
There are three cases where Sell S9-Vs failed in the Summer:
                             
1929, 1987 and 1996.  Let's look here at the key values when Peerless gave
                              reversing Buy B4 (steep rise price, P-I or IP21) or a B10 price breakout.
                              Probably, the 1996 breakout in September would compare best of these
                              if the DJI were to clearly surpass 25500, though 26500 would also act
                              as resistance.

        
                             
6/26/1929 - Steep rise in price and P-I.  DJI rose above 3.5% band.
                              328.6   la/ma=1.054  aroc=1.352  P=26 (+33), IP21=.079  VI=-81  OP=.498
                              DJI rose until 381.2 on 9/3/1929 when Livermore and others got wind of
                              Bank of England's plan to raise key lending rate sharply.

                              ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             
6/22/1987 - Steep rise in price and IP21.  DJI rose above 3.5% band.
                              2446   la/ma=1.042  aroc=1.12  P=232 (-7), IP21=.156  VI=+25  OP=.768
                              DJI rose until 2772 on 8/25/1987 when the Fed and Greenspan became
                              spooked by gold's rise and the Dollar's sudden 7% drop in two weeks and
                              began raising rates abruptly.

                              ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             
9/12/1996 - Price breakout above 5x -tested flat resistance just below 5800.
                              5772   la/ma=1.014  aroc=0.261  P=129 (+60), IP21=.117  VI=+8  OP=.258
                              DJI rose steadily for the rest of the year from one all-time high to another.
                              The Dollar had just crossed back above its 65-dma. Gold stocks like NEM
                              had just failed to rise above their falling 65-dma.  Clinton - the ally of Big Bankers
                              and Free Trade was leading handily in the Presidential Polls.


                                      Note flat-top breakout into all-time high territory.
                                      Also a bullish, inverted H/S pattern formed.

   A Suggestion for Longs
                                         Who Want To Buy Cheap 


                        Look for stocks whose Stochastic-90 K-Line rises back above 10,
                        has a rising 200-day ma and whose Closing Power breaks its downtrend.
                        There are quite a few stocks like this a important bottoms.  I will post
                        a nightly download, called STOCH90 and ALLS90 in a day or two.
                        Below are three examples, JPM, AAPL and BIIS.  I discuss this much more
                        in my new Tahiti Stocks: 2000-2017 E book.  The trick here is knowing
                        when to get out because the market or the stock has become much too
                        weak.   Our "Tahiti" E-Book takes up this theme.

                                                A Suggestion for Longs
                            Who Want To The Top Tahiti Stocks 

                            Tahiti Stocks: 2000-2018 ($50 new E-book)

                              I'm about to release an update study of the Tiger's "Tahiti" stocks.
                              These were the stocks between 1970 and 2000 that you could make
                              about 25% a year on simply by buying at the end of each quarter
                              and holding 21 months or until Peerless gave a fourth Sell S9 based
                              on lagging breadth.  There some other factors, too.  But the essential
                              idea here was that we could safely buy the most Accumulated blue chip
                              stocks.  

                              My study of the results of this system since 2000 off some important
                              refinements.   First, we must watch out for head/shoulders patterns in
                              these stocks.  Second, we must be willing to sell on a run-up in the sixth
                              or seventh quarter if the Closing Power breaks its uptrend.  Thirdly, in
                              a bear market, we should simply wait for the DJI to come back above
                              its 200-day ma before buying these stocks again. And fourthly, and most
                              important, we should probably focus most of our energies buying blue
                              chip TECH stocks.  We got our best gains in the period since 2000 in
                              stocks like Hewlett Packard, Apple and recently Microsoft.  The new
                              E-book will also show how to use the 90-day Stochastic with these stocks.
                              It will be released next week and may be obtained by sending a check
                              for $50 to William Schmidt, PO Box 22784   San Diego, CA 92192

====================================================================
         7/
23/2018     The Peerless S9-V still governs our view of the market.  Though the DJI
                              jumped up 200 in early trading, at the close there were 355 more down than
                              up on the NYSE and the DJI could not muscle up past 25265.  In addition,
                              IBB (biotechs) fell fractionally for the day.  While the NASDAQ, QQQ, SPY
                              and OEX did rise, only TECL made a 12-month high, but its Closing Power
                              and IP21 are not rising convincingly.

                              I think we have to conclude that the rally is sputtering out of desperation.
                              It is not firing on all cylinders.  Traders can only nervously switch their funds
                              back and forth between the various sectors.  Worse, Table 2 below shows that
                              Professionals, Day Traders and Swing Traders are now net bearish. The most
                              important number here is that MINCPs outnumber MAXCPs by more than 4:1,
                              136 to 33.  There are a lot more bearish looking stocks now than bullish ones.
                              The DJI-30 may be able to hold up the charade that all is well a while longer,
                              but we can see the internal deterioration that contradicts the public pretense.

                              That Professionals are net bearish confounds the normal Summer bullishness.
                              Since 1965. the DJI has risen 71.2% of the time over the month following
                              July 24th and averaged a gain of 1.9% over this period.  These traders, I believe,
                              are made cautious by the political situation and the big question, namely, can
                              the Republicans hold their Congressional majorities.  That this is so, we should
                              note that the DJI rises in the second-year of the four year Presdiential cycle
                              only 43.8% of the time over the next two months and falls on average 0.9%
                              over the next month.

                              In this situation, I would stay short DIA, but would play the market with
                              a mixture of the bullish MAXCPs on the long side and some of bearish MINCPs
                              on the short side.

====================================================================
        7/23/2018      It was another dull day of trading today. Despite the S9-V, my suggestion
                              is to look more to individual stocks if you want volatility at this time.  As for
                              the DJIA, our current S9-V tells us that any month-end rally now as July comes to
                              an end will be quite limited.  But a short-rally in the DJI does seem to be shaping
                              up if the DJI can close above its 5-dma pivot point of 25120 tomorrow.  Note
                              that a number of the tech ETFs are close to making 12-month high breakouts. 
                              Simultaneous new 12-month highs by the NASDAQ, QQQ, TECL and IBB
                              would likely get me to recommend covering the short in DIA while we wait and
                              see if a Summer Rally develops..

                              Traders undoubtedly noticed today that the rising NYSE A/D Line
                              remains in its uptrend as do the Closing Powers of all the major ETFs,
                              except RETL.  In addition, all the key ETFs' short-term 5-day moving
                              averages are still rising, except DIA. (See the 5-dma AROC numbers in the next
                              table below.


                             
So, it looks like we shall see a rally tomorrow.  While Day Traders are not
                              convinced that it will hold its gains, we can't help noting from Table 1 below
                              that the Relative Strength (ITRS) for DJI remains below all the other major
                              ETFs' ITRSes.  Only the leveraged Semi-conductors' ETF, SOXL, has a
                              lower ITRS, 50-day rate of change. 

                             Let me suggest that it is also important that all these ETFs except MDY and
                             RETL show positive current Accumulation (IP21) values.  I think that this means
                             that there is still considerable underlying support for most of these ETFs. It
                             will likely take another failed rally to cause traders to become discouraged
                             enough sell.

                            
Watch tomorrow to see if the NASDAQ, QQQ, IWM, TECL and IBB can
                             breakout above the resistance they show just above and make 12-month high
s..
                             If they all do this at once, that would be quite bullish. At that point, assuming
                             the DJI closes above its 5-dma pivot point, I would recommend covering the
                             short in DIA.

  The NYSE A/D Line remains in an uptrend but our V-Indicator is still negative.
                              I would interpret this to mean that Big Money is coming out of the biggest blue
                              chips and going into smaller stocks.  Our Bullish MAXCPs have shown Biotechs
                              are one of the big beneficiaries of this movement of money.

                              Let's use our short-term QuickSilver against the MAXCPs and MINCPs
                              to get ideas for long and shorts that we might be able to profitably trading
                              simply by play the trend of the 5-day ma and the 5-dma pivot point.
                              QuickSilver ranks the stocks in a Directory for the annualized rate
                              of change of their 5-day ma. (Tiger Commands: Peercomm + Charts 2017-8 +
                              Run/Setups + Run QuickSilver).  Below are the biggest advancers and two
                              of the beggest decliners shown in this manner.

7/
20/2018      NYSE Down Volume rose significantly on Friday.   This gives weight to our Sell S9v
                      and makes a DJI decline to the lower band near 24000 the likely downside target.
                      But, at this point, the charts of SPY and QQQ still appear much stronger than the DJI.
                      Support is likely to come in sooner for them than the DJI.  Watch their Closing Powers.  
                      The breaking of the CP uptrends for SPY and QQQ is needed now to confirm a move down
                      by the general market. So, is a breaking of the NYSE A/D Line uptrend.  Without
                      these developments, I can only predict a decline by the DJI and the weakest MINCP
                      stocks.   Stay long some of the Biotechs appearing in the MAXCPs is my suggestion, too.

                      So far, the biggest decliners, those down more than 40% in the last 100 trading
                      days, have been limited in numbers.  But the multiple Peerless S9s, the
                      heavy red NYSE Down Volume, the multiple Sell S9s and the probably inexorable
                      rise of interest rates and inflation are all apt to increase the ranks of the stocks
                      falling sharply from distribution-tops in the months ahead.  I have put together
                      tonight a study of these stocks.  Avoid them or, better yet, sell some of them short.

                                     
STOCKS DOWN 40% IN LAST 100 TRADING DAYS
                                                                       7- 20-2018

                     Study these stocks.  Nearly all of these show
                     1. Multiple Tiger (not Peerless) S9s and S14s,
                     2. Price breakdowns below flat, well-tested support,
                     3. Heavy Red distribution,
                     4. Falling Closing Powers and magenta S7s
                     5. and Falling relative strength

                     These are the main warning signs we should look for among our BEARISH MINCPS
                     and the NEW LOWS each day.  But look also for the bearish head/shoulders patterns
                     and the importance of the 65-dma giving way.

7/
19/2018     On the DJI's chart, the V-Indicator and IP21 are negative.  These indicators
                     should hold the DJI back and not allow it to surpass the red resistance at 25500.
                     Though the NYSE A/D Line is still rising, it can only be bearish that we see so
                     many Sell S9s this year on our Peerless DJI chart.  So, in deference to the
                     current current S9-V,  stay short DIA.  Other sectors are still in uptrends and
                     in better positions to challenge their overhead resistance levels.  Biotechs
                     look the most bullish.

Wednesday's Peerless Sell S9-V did drop the DJI, Bank Stocks, SPY, TECL,
                     Timber, Silver and semi-conductors today, but not IBB, IBM (+4.72),
                     IWM (+1.19), MDY (+1.57) and RETL (+1.47).   This mixed action should not
                     come as a surprise, first, because the A/D Line for the NYSE is uptrending,
                     second, because the President has started to complain publicly about rising
                     interest rates and, third, because recent S9Vs in July have tended to bring
                     on a churning in the market for a week or two before there was a bigger and
                     broader decline. 

                   
  The Closing Powers are still rising for IBB, IWM, MDY and RETL. I think
                     we should watch now for signs that they are topping out.  The breaking of
                     their Closing Powers is what I would expect to see when they are ready to
                     join in the DJI's decline.  Even as they churn or perhaps  move somewhat higher,
                     I expect DIA is likely to keep eroding.  The history of July S9s is quite bearish.
                     So, we should stay short it.


                     To take-off, IBB must surpass 120.  See its chart just below.   Our long positions in
                     small biotechs would benefit from this.  And this may happen even as the DJI pulls back.
                     IWM, MDY and RETL, on the other hand, show weaker internals, Accumulation and
                     relative strength. They should have a much harder time making any big gains in here.

7/
18/2018     A new Peerless Sell S9 occurred today.  The DJI closed 2.4% over the 21-dma
                     and shows a negative V-I.  The 21-dma of NYSE Adjusted Up Volume minus
                     Down Volume now stands at -27.  In addition, our current Accumulation Index now
                     stands at -.002.  So, we have an IP21 NNC (negative non-confirmation) of the DJI's move
                     to the upper band, too.  The data for July S9Vs below suggest to me that the
                     still positive P-Indicator (21-dma of NYSE advances minus declines) cannot save the
                     situation.   The same data does not suggest a summer breakout above 25500.  Most
                     likely, we will re-visit the DJI's lower 2.5%-3% band.  If the P-Indicator is still positive
                     at that point, there will be another tradeable rally.  If not, the vital 23300-23500 support
                     will have to be tested.

                     First, look below at the list of earlier July Sell S9 (noticing where V-I was negative) since 1929
                     when the DJI was not simply making a recovery in a bear market back to the upper band.   There
                     were 14 bull market S9s.  The average decline after a bull market July S9 was 10% at the
                     time of the next Peerless Buy signal.  Only in 3 cases, was the paper loss when short selling
                     here more than 1.8%.  The biggest paper loss was 4.3%.  All of these bull market July S9s
                     would have been reversed profitably, though in recent years (1990, 1998, 2007 and 2011)
                     it was common for the DJI to churn at its current levels for at least a week longer before
                     turning down quite steeply.  The next table shows that July S9s in already existing bear
                     markets were much less bearish and also brought much bigger paper losses.

                     This data must lead to a bearish conclusion.  We could wait for the signal to be "clinched".
                     By this, we mean that the number of NYSE decliners should be more than 25 the
                     number of NYSE advancers tomorrow before going short DIA, as the major market
                     ETF with the weakest performance for the last 5- trading days.

                     But I suggest selling DIA short tomorrow as well as more bearish MINCPs.
                     Hold long the highest Accumulation biotechs whose Closing Powers are still above
                     their rising 21-day ma.  Many of these have shown a tendency to rally on days when
                     the DJI falls.

                     Watch to see if SP-500, NYSE (and OEX) stay within their trading ranges.
                     New highs by them would suggest the DJI may still move higher.  TECL,
                     representing tech stocks is much stronger.  Watch to see if its rising Closing
                     Power can be broken or if it tries to sail to new highs, regardless of the
                     Sell S9.

====================================================================
7/
17/2018     The Peerless Buy B9 still operates.   But a DJI close 56 points higher
                     tomorrow will bring a new and reversing Sell S9-V.  I would attach special
                     credence to any July 17th Sell S9 now.  They have produced some very nasty declines.
                     I list below only the four since 1990.  We could easily find quite a few others from
                     earlier years: such as July 17 1930, July 17 1933... When you think of bear markets,
                     you probably think of Octobers.  We should also watch for tops in July!

                        7/17/1990   Sell S9V la/ma= 1.032 P=-1  IP21=.024 V--4
                        Bear market followed.
                        7/17/1998   S9V/S12 a week earlier, la/ma=1.03  P=+2  IP21=-.025  V=-17
                        19% decline quickly followed.
                        7/16/1999   S9V/S5 a week earlier,  la/ma=1.034  P=+69  IP21= +.085  V=-6
                        Quick decline to lower 3.5% band.
                        7/17/1999   S9V/S5  la/ma=1.028  P=-27  IP21= -.003  V= -121
                        10% decline quickly followed.


                     But we still do not see the Sell S9-V.  And, as I said yesterday, I believe the
                     market is doing very well considering all the blasting President Trump is getting
                     from much of the media for tariffs and also for "high crimes and treason" because he
                     dared talk privately to Russian President Putin for two hours and admitted very
                     publicly that the CIA had engaged in over-throwing democratically governments
                     and arranging the assassinations of too many foreign leaders to count.  Considering
                     the endless attacks on Trump, the stock market is doing amazingly well.  It is even
                     ignoring the rise in short-term rates to another new high today to nearly 2.0%.

                     But I want to be neither a hero nor a fool. With the DJI so close to a July Sell S9v,
                     I suggested taking profits today in IWM and IBB as well as hedging with some shorts
                     in our bearish MINCPs.  That may prove to be early in here.  Still, today, the 2006
                     version of the Peerless software did yield an old-style Sell S8 based on the recently
                     weakening breadth.  Since the year 1998, there have been four of these older July
                     Sell S8s.   Each of them showed a red (negative) V-I reading like we see now.   But
                     each also showed a negative IP21 (Current Accumulation).  Our IP21 now is a +.011. 
                     Two of these July S8s from the older software occurred  2.2% above the 21-dma,
                     which is where we are now, but the other two were much closer to the full 3% upper
                     band.  

                     So, the new Peerless wants the DJI to go higher before giving a Sell.  It also wants to
                     give the market a little more chance to make a decisive upside breakout past the resistance
                     lines we now see in all the key ETFs.  This is important.  Our Help section for these older-type
                     Sell S8s warns us to be especially careful if the DJI succeeds in breaking above its flat resistance
                     either just before or after a Sell S8.  Look at out charts.  That could be what develops here
                     if the DJI were to surpass 25500.  Such a breakout  would almost certainly help some of the
                     explosive-super-stock Biotechs we have bought and are still holding.

7/
16/2018     The Peerless Buy B9 still operates.  But we are probably only 80 points
                     away from a new Peerless Sell.  The DJI closed 1.9% over the 21-dma.  A rally
                     to the 2.25% upper band will likely bring a reversing Sell S9-V.
Our favorite
                     ETFs, IBB and IWM, declined today.  Their Closing Power uptrends were violated
                     as a result of their failure Friday and Monday to make new highs.  Take profits
                     in them.  Their upside potential would seem to be limited now.


                     Bearishly, there were almost twice as many NYSE decliners as advances. By itself
                     this is only a warning until we see somewhat higher DJI prices.

                     Short term rates are approaching 2% and the 12-mo CPI inflation rate is almost 3%.
                     The Dollar is even starting to look a little "toppy".  Small wonder, the NYSE fell
                     again on another weak Monday.

The Market Did Well To Hold Up.

                     When you think about it, the market held up very well today.  But for how long?
                     We will probably get a reversing July Sell S9-V based on the technicals.

                     A most uncivil war of words is breaking out in New York and Washington.  Numerous
                     network pundits and their cold war allies from the CIA today declared President Trump
                     to be a "traitor" for daring to talk privately with Putin of Russia.  How dare he raise doubts
                     about the CIA's credibility or make references to its own history of interfering in
                     other coutries or employing assassinations?   Only a few, like Ron Paul and
                     Russian scholar Stephen Cohen, asked the question: "Isn't Peace with Russia worth
                     discussing?...After all, they're not Communists."
                 
                     The no longer staid and sedate NY Times would not hear any of this.  It did not mince words tonight
.
                     "
Trump Sheds All Notions of How a President Should Conduct Himself Abroad...Rather than defend America against those who would threaten it, he attacked his own citizens and institutions while hailing the leader of a hostile power."

                              It's Not Clear Where The Next Big Bounce Come from?

                     Today Boeing and the Biggest Banks rose in tandem.  This helped brace the DJI
                     on a day when most stocks fell.  But there is probably only limited upside potential
                     now.   Check out the overhead resistance lines in SPY, QQQ, TECL, IWM and MDY
                     linked to below.  And loooking at the most weighty, high priced DJI stocks, we see that only
                     United Health is at an all-time high, thus facing less overhead resistance.  BA could
                     run a little more before it faces its overhead resistance.  But the other very high priced
                     DJI-30 stocks, GS and MMM, must still cope with their falling 65-dma.  So, it will probably
                     be very hard for the DJI to make a big run.  The upper 2.5% band should bracket it
                     for now.

                    
                
    The multiple Sell S9s here are certainly a warning, too.  A set of four Sell S9s appeared
                     in 1929, 1972-1973, 1980-1981, 1987, 1999-2000 and 2007-2008 just before
                     bear markets followed.   But in each of these cases the NYSE A/D Line had been
                     lagging the DJI's new high for months.  So, perhaps, we will have to wait for such a
                     divergence to appear before becoming really anxious


                  
  It's my guess that the trading range we see in the DJI now will probably continue
                     another month, until the market gets a "read" on what will happen in the November
                     elections.  

                     Perhaps, then the current bull market, now 9 years and 4 months old, will be ready to experience
                     a decline of 20% from its highs.  Julys can bring reversals down but so can Septembers.
                     In any case, without a new Peerless Sell,  I would be patient. 
Hedging with some
                     Bearish MINCPs is recommended.  That is what the Professionals seem to be doing,
                     judging from Table 2.  But hold some of the very high Accumulation biotechs, especially
                     those that show a tendency to rally on days when the DJI declines.  Study their Tiger
                     Aynchronicity Indicator and Relative Strenth trands.


                     A bear market now, I cannot predict. After all, the DJI rose from November 1946 to
                     November 1961, all of 15 years, without the DJI declining as much as 20%.  And
                     short-term rates had to rise to 3 1/2% in mid 1957, before a 19% DJI decline then
                     began.

The Peerless Buy B9 still operates.  But there were more down than up on the
                     NYSE on Friday.  The strength was limited and involved the highly visible "Fang"
                     stocks, AMZN, FB and GOOG.  A number of key ETFs did not make new highs:

                          
MDY       363.08  -.13
                                    IWM        167.42  -.5    
                                    FAS           66.29   -1.04  
                                    SOXL       149.02  -1.93 
                                    TECL        151.41  -.42  


                     This makes the rally suspect.  And in fact, an advance of 200 DJI points will likely
                     bring a new Peerless Sell S9V and a Sell S5.  If that should occur, we might still want
                     to wait for NYSE decliners to be greater than advancers by 30 or more at the close
                     to view the Sell S9V "clinched".


                   
25500 appears to be the resistance level that is most likely to stop the DJI.
                     Watch to see if SPY and TECL can get past their resistance-levels just overhead.

                                                          Biotechs are favored.

                     More than 1/2 of all the stocks up more than 100% in the last 72 trading days
                     are Biotechs or medical appliance stocks.  Most of these winners showed the
                     "explosive super stocks" characteristics that we have come to expect.  Buy B20s
                     following breakouts are particularly common.  And another sign we should be
                     looking for in these: strength on days the DJI is down; thus the ITRS rising above
                     +.30 and the pink Asnchronicity Index beong above the blue Synchronicity Index.
                     And as we've seen for some time, biotechs make up a large percentage of the
                     Bullish MAXCPs again tonight.  Watch this week to see if IBB can make a bullish
                     flat topped breakout.

The Peerless Buy B9 still operates. Hold IBB and IWM.  But note that another
                      one percent higher close by the DJI will probably bring a new Sell S9-V and possibly
                      even a Sell S12.  This is because the DJI's chart shows a negative V-I and and the IP21
                      reading is only slightly positive.   The NASDAQ, QQQ and Biotechs are much stronger
                      and made new yearly highs today.  (See Table 1)  Instead of selling them on a Sell S9-V
                      right away, I would suggest waiting to sell them when they close below their opening on
                      the next trading day after a Peerless Sell S9 or Sell S12.

                    
What are the chances of a bullish breakout above 25500 by the DJI?  Since 1965, there
                     have been only 5 July or August breakouts that then led to 10% or bigger DJI advances.  Much
                     more common are reversals down in July.  I count no less than 8 in just July alone.   Nearly all
                     gave timely Sells.  Usually it was a Sell S9.

                     Examples:   7/11/1968 Sell S7 at 1.17% upper band and decline to lower 3.5% band.
                                       8/2/1972   Sell S9 at 1.19% upper band and decline to lower 3.0% band.
                                       6/23/1975 ES18 at 3.37% upper band and 10% decline.
                                       7/12/1976 ES S5 at 1.14% upper band and decline to lower 2.5% band.
                                       7/26/1983 Sell S9 at 1.24% upper band and decline to lower 3.5% band.
                                      
                                       7/16/1986 No Sell at 2.20% upper band and 5% decline.
                                       7/13/1990 Sell S9 at 2.80% upper band and bear market follows.
                                       7/8/1998 Sell S9 at 3.00% upper band and bear market follows.
                                       7/6/1999 Sell S9 at 3.40% upper band and decline to lower 3.5% band follows
                                       7/17/2007 Sell S9 at 2.80% upper band and 10% decline follows.
                                      
                                       7/20/2011 Sell S9 at 1.40% upper band and 17% decline follows.
                                       7/11/2013 Sell S9 at 2.8% upper band and decline to lower 3.5% band.
                                       7/16/2004 Top at 1.2% upper band and decline to lower 3.5% band follows.
                                       7/16/2015 Sell S12 at 1.4% upper band and then 14% decline..


                          
What Peerless Internals Predict A Vigorous Summer Rally in On-Going
                            Bull Market: 1965 to 2017?
  Only 1 of the 5 breakouts that led to a 10% gain
                            showed a negative OBVPct.  That could be a problem for us now.  None showed
                            a V-Indicator reading below -30, which is what we now see.

=======================================================================
7/11/2018    
The Peerless Buy B9 still operates. Hold IBB and IWM.  The Trump-tariff market
                     dumps will probably continue.  This is apt to forestall and delay any Summer Rally in the DJI. 
                     But biotechs and smaller growth stocks may do much better.  Tariff wars will have far less
                     impact on them, I would suggest.

                     The new Trump tariffs' sell-off in the DJI today to 24700 did not worsen much during the
                     actual trading in New York.  I think we have to take that as a good sign.  Now we will see
                     if the markets can rally again. That is the message I get from the rising NYSE A/D Line
                     and the current Buy B9. 

                     But, sad to have to report, the DJI's upper 2.3% band at about 25300 seems likely to bring
                     another Sell S9-V, which might force the DJI to remain locked in its current trading range
                     until late August.  Perhaps, this should not be a surprise.  This will be an important Election
                     year and the markets will need to base more before moving up strongly if Republicans can
                     hold onto their majorities in Congress.

                                            
                       Public Fear Is Usually Bullish

                     On the big Los Angeles New radio station, I keep hearing bearish stock market advisors
                     who want to show the Public how to avoid a 2008-like market collapse.  This is something
                     they assure listeners is right around the corner.  Generally, I would be dubious about heeding
                     warnings of coming market calamities that the general public is fed in the mass media like this.  
                     But a rally to 25500 followed by a decline back to 24000 could be in the cards.

                                                        Matching "IP21" with "ITRS"                                                        

                    
For us, until Peerless gives a new Sell, I think we just have to wait to sell.  And I would
                     prefer to stay long those ETFS in Table 1 below which have higher IP21s and ITRS reading
                     than DIA shows.
Tiger's "IP21" shows current big-money Accumulation and "ITRS" compares
                     the ETF's gain over the last 50 trading days with the DJI's.  DIA's IP21 is actually negative.
                     It's ITRS is zero because its 50-day pct change and the DJI's are the same.

  The annual rate of inflation when based on the Producer Price Index is now 3.6%. This
                     makes the 10-year Bond's yield of 2.856% seem quite unappealing and makes many stocks
                     seem that much more attractive.   With China and Russia also reducing their positions in US
                     Government Debt instruments, it would seem only a matter of time before US interest rates
                     go significantly higher.  Short-term rates, I have said, probably must go over 3% before bonds
                     can draw money out of the stock market and higher rates will significantly start to slow down
                     the Economy.  Note that US rates are still well above those in Europe.  All this has helped the
                     Dollar and a strong Dollar also makes holdings in US stocks seem attractive. 


                                                     Watch Gold and NEM for A Tell-Tale Rally

                    
Perhaps, this is why Gold and Silver cannot get traction and were weak again today. 
                     I want to stress that Bulls are correct in watching Gold stocks.  As long as they do not run-up,
                     a major top in the market is not near. When I wrote a Blog about this in February 2008.

                                http://www.tigersoftware.com/TigerBlogs/02-21-2008/index.html  

                    
In this Blog, I gave lots of earlier examples of how run-ups in Gold led to market sell-off.
                     I focused on NEM, Newmont Gold.  NEM's price action in late 2007 turned out to be
                     quite significant.  It correctly predicted a bear market in 2008.  See in the chart below how
                     NEM jumped  uncharacteristically from 38 in August 2007 to 56 in November 2007.  We
                     want to watch NEM now.  I suspect it will make another upside breakout and surge before
                     there is a new general market sell-off.   See also how this happened in December 2017 and
                     January 2018 just before the DJI's February sell-off.

7/10/2018    
The Peerless Buy B9 still operates.  The NYSE A/D made another new high today
                      and in Table 5 below, we see that only 9 of the 47 sectors we follow show a majority
                      of their stocks below the key support of the 65-dma.

                      But there clearly is a problem.  Trump's new tariffs on China are getting bigger, not
                      smaller.   We are still in the dangerous double-downing phase.  This has spooked the
                      market after the close today.  Trump giveth and he taketh away.  The head/shoulders
                      pattern in the DJI spotlights the dangers that could hit the biggest multinationals in the DJI.
                      Short-term rates hit another new high today.  What if China unloads its US Treasuries
                      en masse.  All these fears have sent the DJI down 233 as I write this, despite the
                      earlier bounce-backs on similar occasions. We can hope that the market will act like
                      it has after other Administration tariff announcements recently and will slowly claw back
                      towards even later tomorrow.  If this happens, then today's early sell-off will not hurt
                      our IBB and IWM very much and they should make new highs.

                      DIA and the DJI are more problematic.  The DJI's head/shoulders pattern is still extant and
                      the biggest DJI stocks, as a group, continue to under-perform.  DJI Head/shoulders patterns
                      when completed are reliably bearish and warn that the market must cope with unexpected
                      bearish news.  That is why it is important that we see the DJI recover here.

                      We will be watching the Big Bank stocks, especially BAC and GS.  They are weakest in this
                      kewy group. If they were to break below their key support levels, it would be a troubling
                      development for the market as a whole.  Oppositely, I would say that the most bullish development
                      would be the NASDAQ, QQQ, SOXL, TECL and IBB closing way up off their lows
                      tomorrow.   This would mean that Professionals are taking advantage of Public and Overseas'
                      Selling because they are looking forward to a much more speculative Summer Rally.


                    
Fortunately, the Closing Powers and 5-dma are rising. SPY, QQQ, OEX, MDY,
                      NYSE,   IBB, TECL and SOXL each show positive ITRS values, meaning that they
                      are up quite a bit more than the DJI in the last 50 trading days.  Their IP21s (current
                      Accumulation) are all more positive than DIA's.  See Table 1.  But Table 2 shows that
                      Professionals shifted to more bearish positions today.  News of the Administration's
                      new tariffs was leaked, I would suggest.  That is why we pay much more attention to
                      Closing Power than Opening Power.

The Peerless Buy B9 now operates.  The median gain for a Buy B9 is 7.5%
                     at the time of the next reversing sell.  June and July B9s average 7% gains. Such
                     a rise here would take the DJI to a recovery new high and 25800.  That a gain
                     like this very likely, we see that the NYSE A/D Line made another all-time  high.
                     It is also a positive that the DJI came alive today.  It was led by  BA, CAT and the
                     lagging big banks, GS and JPM.

                    We might ask if the DJI's rally was simply a technical rebound from an oversold condition
                    or is it the beginning of a much bigger Summer rally, sparked by a quieting down of the tariff wars
                    and a re-thinkiing by the FED about the need  for several more rate-hikes this year?  
                    And is the gravitation of big money into speculative sectors, like biotechs, apt to continue?
                    Such action is the result of growing investor confidence and also occurs when such
                    growth investments take on an appeal as Inflation develops.  Volume might seem 
                    to need to be higher for a 10%+ Summer Rally.  But that may come in later.  Wall Street,
                    just like the President and the Republican Party, have a lot to gain from keeping this bull market
                    going so as to keep the Democrats defensively on their heels when it comes to the
                    all-important economic question, "Are you better off now under Trump than you were
                    under Obama?"

                    One issue did emerge today.  That was the big drop by utilities.  I could not find
                    news to explain it, but both Bonds and REITs were down today.  We will need to
                    watch our short-term rates chart closely.  For now, I take it as a bullish sign that
                    defensive money wants to become a lot more aggressive.

                    In addition, let's see if the DJI's can destroy its box-like pattern and move oast 26500.
                    It looks like it will destroy its nascent H/S pattern if it can rise tomorrow.

Right now, I think we should expect higher prices.  The uptrend of the NASDAQ looks
                    particularly inviting.  In addition, the key ETFs' rising Closing Powers and 5-day moving
                    averages cannot easily turn down, so that even though the 5-day Stochastic are now in
                    short-term over-bought territory, I would expct the Biotechs, large and small as well as
                    IWM to surpass the resistance from their last peaks.

  I have been impressed that so many important stocks and key general market ETFs
                    have destroyed their potential head/shoulders price patterns by rallying up past the apexes
                    of their impending right shoulders.  This bullish development describes the price action in 
                    AAPL, AMD, APH, CSX, GOOG. IDX, MDY, SPY, SQ, TECL and UNH   But
                    going through all the SP-500 stocks, I can still find some charts where the H/S pattern
                    still menaces.   We will want to see these stocks surpass the right shoulder peaks.

                                            ABT needs to surpass 62.5
                                            ADD at 97.18 needs to surpass 99.
                                            ADP at 134.22 needs to surpass 136.
                                            EXPD at 73.3 needs to surpass 74.
                                            MCO at 175.45 needs to surpass 176
                                            MOS at 28.36 needs to surpass 29.0
                                            OXY at 85.85 needs to surpass 86.5

The Peerless Buy B9 now operates.  The NYSE A/D Line's new high is a bullish
                    sign. Now we should watch to see if the SP-500 can abort its potential head/shoulders
                    pattern by continuing to rally.  It should be bullish that the rising tech stocks in TECL
                    on Friday have seemingly voided a similar pattern.  On the night of the Buy B9,  I
                    suggested buying IBB and IWM.  They continue to rise more rapidly than the DJI
                    and DIA.  Hold them for higher prices.  This may be the beginning of a Summer Rally,
                    fueled, perhaps, by the Fed's reluctance to run the risks of raising rates aggressively.
                    No doubt, the FED's decision here may hinge on signs of inflation.  The CPI numbers will
                    come out, I believe, in the middle of this coming week.

                                    119-120 will likely bring profit-taking and might be used as our
                                    target.   But Friday's gap could be a breakaway gap.  So, let's not
                                    be in a hurry to sell here.

1926's Experience Suggests a Very Good Summer Rally in 2018

In Feb. 1926, taxes were cut sharply.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1926  
As such, 1926's stock market fluctuations may seem a model for 2018.
There is no doubt that cuts in corporate tax rates drive up profits and
increases corporate buy backs and other investments.  Cuts in investors'
taxes means a lot more money to buy and invest with.

But there are lots of differences between 1926 and 2018.  We should
make some allowance for them, of course.

The mid-1920s economy was driven by consumer spending on lots of
new consumer items: especially cars, radio, records, refrigerators,
washing machines, sewing machines and movies.  Our consumers
are more tapped out than consumers were in 1926.  We are hooked
on government spending, especially for the military and for health care.
Perhaps, that provides more stability to the stock market..

Second, investor confidence got a severe set back in early 1926 when
the Florida Land boom burst.  Thus, the steeper first quarter correction
back then.

But Trump's trade war now will hurt many DJI-30 stocks.  There was
no trade war in 1926. And a trade war is very problematic, especially
for some of the big blue chips in the DJI-30.  Fears of deeper retaliation
will hold the DJIA back, I would guess.  Beyond that, so much industry
has already left the US, it is not clear that a trade imbalance of $350 billion
a year with China can be restored simply by tariffs, which in the meantime
will drive up American prices and make for lots of politcal "heat",  Add to
that how good the multinationals have gotten at relocating abroad and the Fed's
dependency on China to buy a hefty portion of its bonds/bills and you probably
get a market that is more at risk than it was in 1926 even with the bursting of
the Florida land-speculation bubble.

Still, we should look back at 1926 for guidance now. 

First, compare our recent sell-off with the DJI's 17% drop from Feb 11 to
March 30 in 1926.  This was due to a combination of  tax cut profit-taking
and the Florida land bust.

As now, the market turned up for a Summer Rally, which lasted to Sept 7
and brought about a 17% gain as the DJI rose to new highs.

Then the DJI dropped 12% to a bottom on October 19th and was moving up at year end.

In 1927, the DJI started making new highs again.  One might have expected the
FED to start raising rates.  They did the exact opposite and lower rates.  In doing
this, they yielded to a request from the head of Bank of England to lower rates
so that the Pound would be not become still weaker.  It is this action, as much as
anything, which caused the stock market to run wildly higher.  In 1928, the bubble
in stocks was increasing so fast that the FED had lost control.  Could this happen
again?  Might the FED actually lower rates again.  Possibly.  Either because they
want to help the Republicans politically or because the Fed starts to worry that
rate increases will cause great damage to currencies in Latin America and elsewhere
in the Developing World.

The Peerless Buy B9 now operates

DATA705.GIF (18001 bytes)

                                I have suggested buying IWM, IBB and biotechs among the MAXCP
                                breakouts.   Many of you would rather not buy high-flying breakouts. 
                                Fair enough.  Consider some other ideas that involve beaten-down stocks. 
                                First, REGN among the big biotechs shows a bullish inverted head and
                                shoulders.   Second,
NUGT, a leveraged gold stocks' ETF, seems to
                                be rising above its 65-dma, could soon break a year-long downtrend,
                                shows Bullish CP divergence B7s and steady positive accumulation.
                                Third,
SPPI , a smaller biotech, shows a flat top that "beckons for a
                                breakout".

                                                                 TRADE WARFARE

                                  
Much Higher Tariffs did not create bear markers under Coolidge
                                   when the Economy was strong, but they were a disaster in 1930
                                   under Harding when the market and the economy were very weak
.
                                            

                                Today the US trade war with China turned a new page, as $34 billion
                                in tariffs were imposed by each side on the others' imports.  This was
                                widely expected.  It represents about 6.7% of the value of Chinese exports
                                to the US and about  26.2% of the value of US exports to China.  Trump's
                                efforts to balance the US trade imbalance with China, which was $376 billion
                                in 2017, laudable as the goal seems to be, will result in fewer American
                                corporations being hit much harder than it will hit Chinese corporations exporting
                                here.   Thus, it would seem that Trump's economic nationalism will have a
                                hard time quickly solving the imbalance of many years' creation and
                                dealing with such contradictions as how multinational (US in name) corporations
                                can be expected to stay in the US given these Chinese tariffs and how
                                China can still be expected to keep on buying up huge amounts of US Treasuries
                                and so, how can the US Economy not contract when interest rates rise
                                accordingly.. 
                      
                              
                                In these circumstances, it is vital that the US economy stays strong so that
                                the seeming inevitable weakness in the big multinationals in the DJI do not
                                drag the market down.  This makes tomorrow's Jobs' report very important. 
                                So is the need for most other stocks to stay strong.  The NYSE A/D Line's
                                new high today is a very good sign.  But also we do not want to see more key
                                stocks break down and form technically hard-to-repair downtrends.  Bulls
                                will want to watch closely now a number of ETFs and stocks that could now
                                be forming head/shoulders patterns.  In particular, they will be rooting for
                                these vehicles to  move above their right shoulder apexes and thus destroy
                                the potential bearish of these patterns.  So, watch what happens to the
                                sample of stocks and ETFs just below.

                      The bottom of the 2007-2009 bear market occurred a few weeks before the worst
                      Jobs numbers of that decline were reported.  That was the April 2009 report of a
                      one month jobs' loss of 802,000 in March 2009.  If the same thing occurs at a market
                      top now, we might see a seemingly super number above +326,000 might surprisingly
                      signal a top.  Such a really high Jobs number would boost the strength of the Federal
                      Reserve Hawks who want to speed up the rate of interest rate rises.  A lower number,
                      still above 200,000 new jobs would probably be viewed as a healthy, "Goldilocks"
                      number, neither too high nor too low.  On the other hand, a June number below 150,000
                      woud be making a 9-month low.  That would worry many traders, I believe, that the
                      economy's strength may now be showing the signs of impending weakness and cause
                      more profit-taking in the stock market.

                               Peerless Buy B9s consider a positive NYSE breadth reading from the P-Indicator
                               to be more important than the negative V-I (significant down-volume).  Thus, we see
                               just above where the V-I was as negative as it is now and still the DJI in each of the
                               June-July B9s ended up rising at least 4% at the time of  the next Peerless Sell.  That
                               would easily take the DJI back up to its red resistance at 25500.

                               The SP-500 is still boxed in by a head/shoulders pattern.  See Monday's discussion.
                               It needs to destroy this pattern and rise above the potential right shoulder peak in the
                               chart shown below. There are also a number of stocks in this situation.  We will report
                               on them in coming days.   Until these H/S patterns are destroyed and the NYSE ADL
                               makes a new high, we cannot rule out another closer test of 24000, first because
                               we still do not know what China and Europe will do in retaliation to the Trump tariffs
                               and, second, because short-term interest rates rose to a new high on Tuesday.  I do
                               believe that Friday's very good Job numbers for June may give the market a good
                               boost. 


                                                      We must watch to see if SPY can rise above 275
                                                       and destroy its H/S pattern.

                               What about the predominant Professional selling?  We shall soon see if Peerless is
                               correct. We do need to see the key ETFs' Closing Powers break above their CP
                               downtrends.   We can't rule out another wave of Professional selling into the higher
                               openings later this week.  That is partly why I would pefer to buy IBB or IWM
                               now.   Their steep Closing Power downtrends have already been broken.

                              
Seasonality?   Since 1965, the DJI has risen 73.1% of the time over the next month
                               and the average gain is 1.5%.  Over the next two months, the DJI typically gains 2.9%.
                               Unfortunately, Summer Rallies are much scarcer in years of mid-term Elections. The
                               DJI does rally 56.3% of the time over the next month, but only 43.8% of the time
                               over the next two months.  So, a rally past the red resistance at 25500 may be difficult.

                               Before doing the research tonight on what followed past down-days on the DJI right
                               before July fourth, I was a little anxious about the Buy new B9.  I still recall the 8% sell-off
                               right after July 4th in 1986.  But that was when the DJI was near the upper band 

                              
Conclusion.   The track-record of all past 71 Buy B9s and all the Buy B9s in June and
                               July is solidly bullish. Expect another recovery back to the green resistance line shown below,
                               at the least..  Hold back a little.  Higher openings are not to be trusted when trading the
                               major market ETFs.  Recently, there has been an almost fixed determination by Professionals
                               to sell immediately after each higher opening. That could still be a problem.   Fortunately,
                               the paper losses with earlier B9s are usually quite limited, so buying more at closes
                               has to be encouraged.                                 

                               
What to do?  I suspect that biotech upside breakouts and IWM will do better
                               than the DJI.  See Table 1, Table 3 below and the biotechs listed among the
                               Bullish MAXCPs.  The seemingly endless and meaningless ups and downs of the DJI
                               while it is stuck in its own little box of 24000-25000 should not get you down.
                               Consider some of our bullish MAXCPs and confirmed biotech breakouts.

            7/2/2018  
  The operative Peerless signal remains a Sell S9V.    Today, the DJI
                               bounced up off the 24000 support.  Because of the bullish seasonality, the
                               the day before and the day after the Fourth of July, expect the DJI to rally to
                               its 21-day ma, now at  24775.  Because there has been no Peerless Buy
                               signal yet, I would think the DJI will again need to test 24000.  The positives
                               here are the rising A/D Line and the rising 200-day ma.  The negatives are
                               the still red Volume-Indicator and the tendency of the DJI not to be
                               able to advance much after a strong opening because there remains a lot
                               of shares that big institutions are seeking to get out of, especially in many of
                               the higher priced (and more weighty) blue chips, like CAT, GS, JPM and
                               BA.

                               The back and forth period in the major market that we are now seeing is
                               frustrating for anyone wanting sustained and bigger moves in the major ETFs.
                               I would suggest now might be a time to follow a hedging approach with
                               our MAXCPs and MINCPs or, if you have the time, get to know the
                               biotechs.   Among them, we seem always to be able to find excellent
                               and confirmed breakouts above flat tops and confirmed breakdowns
                               below the neckline-supports in bearish head/shoulders pattern.  Get our
                               Explosive Super Stocks, Killer Short Sales, and Closing Power books
                               out and look for examples among biotechs.  As I show below, you can
                               be long and short at the same time and still make regular profits.

                               The SP-500 is a little stronger than the DJI.  But it, too, is caught and
                               boxed in.  It found support at its 65-dma today, as it has on each recent dip
                               to this level.   This has created a neckline-support there.  A failed rally by it
                               over the next week or two could allow it to form and complete a
                               bearish head/shoulders pattern.  See the  chart below. Trading SPY now
                               will require a lot of speed and dexterity.  Just keep in mind the support
                               and resistance levels shown below.

                               A number of NASDAQ stocks, like GOOG, could be forming their own bearish
                               head/shoulders patterns.  But a good rally by them now would push their prices
                               above the apexes of their potential right shoulder in this formation and should
                               then cause a rush of short covering.  It is not clear whether these NASDAQ stocks
                               will breakout above their head/shoulders right-shoulder pivot points.  We should
                               watch them for the next few trading days to get a better idea of the market's
                               strength. Watch these stocks.

                                                      HEDGING: Long and Short at Same Time

                               The media is generally telling us that Trump's trade war will hurt many companies
                               and cause inflation.  But the opposite may be true for companies that manufacture
                               in the US and do mostly domestic business.  Possibly some of our really
                               bullish-looking MAXCPs will benefit from such protection.  Thus, hedging using
                               longs on bullish our MAXCPs and shorts on our MINCPs seems particularly
                               appropriate now that the DJI and SP-500 are narrowly confined and the
                               "nifty" high tech leaders are so richly priced and could be forming head.shoulders
                               patterns.   But as good as our Power Ranker is with the MAXCPs and MINCPs,
                               it will pay to study the volatile Biotech charts themselves using our Buy and Sell
                               signals, chart patterns and Closing Power.  Look for very bullish breakouts and
                               very bearish head/shoulders pattern breakdowns.  See how differently two biotechs
                               (BLFS and JNCE) have moved recently to demonstrate this.

====================================================================
            6/28/2018  
The operative Peerless signal remains a Sell S9V.  The DJI is down
                                200 as I write this.  This seems to be a response to Canada's retaliatory tariffs
                                on the US exports.  This was highly predictable.  The big questions remain
                                what will be Europe's and China's response to the Trump tariffs and will
                                Peerless give a reversing Buy B2 or B9 on a DJI close near 24000. First,
                                I think we can safely surmise that the response of Europe and China to Trump's
                                tariffs will be a lot more hostile.  But Peerless does not know any of this and will
                                almost certainly give a Buy B2 or Buy B9 on a close near 24000.  However, a
                                decline tomorrow much lower, may scare Peerless away from giving a Buy signal. 

                                Ordinarily, we would expect a rally this week because of Independence Day
                                (Wednesday).  That was the primary reason for covering the DIA short on Friday. 
                                But this seasonal bounce is running out of time.

                                Let's look back at earlier Buy B2s and Buy B9s (The P-Indicator remains positive,
                                so a B9 is likley.) when they occur at the end of June.  We find no less than
                                five successful B2s and B9s since 1929. Each of these suffered a small paper
                                loss.  It is important, I think, that none of them took place with the DJI down much
                                more than 3.1% below their 21-dma.  That roughly corresponds to 24000.
                                From all these factors, I would suggest that a  drop tomorrow much  below 24000
                                may well bring another test of 23500.  That will certainly be interesting.  The flat,
                                well-tested support there is of great technical importance.  A close below 23300
                                will bring a Sell S10, one way or another, computed or judged.

                               Any close much below 24000 would drop the "la/ma" below the .969
                               level in the cases above and make any B2 or B9 look more risky.  Traders
                               may not want to buy until the Chinese and Europeons respond to Trump's
                               latets tariffs.
                              
                                                                 
Professional Selling

                                Friday's big jump in prices at the opening was crushed once again.  Big supplies
                                of institutional stock for sale continue to overhang the market and aggressive
                                Institutional sell orders again dominated at the close.  That is the main meaning I
                                make of the failures of  the market to hold its big early big gains.  The DJI's
                                negative V-Indicator, the way the Hourly DISI (OBV) is making new lows
                                ahead of prices and the falling Closing powers are warnings that we cannot yet
                                trust the potential Buy B2 occurring if the DJI comes down closer to the
                                lower 3% band.

   Winners and Losers

                               The tariffs' wars make for new winners and losers.  The best way I know to
                               distinguish them is to watch the Bullish MAXCPs and BEARISH MINCPs.
                               Biotechs, Crude Oil, Gold and Silver seem to be favored now by bulls.  Tariffs
                               will have little effect on Biotechs.  Crude Oil looks technically strong.  And Gold
                               and Silver are over-sold and should rally unless the Fed becomes very aggressive
                               with interest rates, something the White House will discourage more and more
                               as the political wars leading up to the November Election heat up.

                               We see lots of Latin American stocks among the bearish MINCPs.  Exporting
                               to the US is getting more expensive.  That also makes the currencies of many
                               countries overseas weak against the Dollar.  That the rising domestic and
                               international debts are showing more delinquencies is very unsettling to American
                               banks.   Thus, we see much weakness in the big banks, like BAC and JPM. Adding
                               to that is the fear that there will be no big domestic infrastructure undertaking by
                               the Federal Goverment because the US Debt is too large.  Will the US economy
                               as a whole start to slow down?  We should watch a number of key stocks now
                               to see if they can stay above their important support levels.  This will tell us
                               if these anxieties are growing and are likely to drop the DJI down to 23400-23500.
                               The Janaury lows there offer critical support.

====================================================================
            6/28/2018  
The operative Peerless signal remains a Sell S9V.  The very
                                negative V-I readings prevent our getting a Buy B2 now and
                                the S9s prevent a Stochastic-20 Buy B3.  And it remains to be
                                seen if the sellers that have regularly come forward after an up-opening,
                                will allow a multiple day rally unfold. 

                                Still, I would cover the shorts in DIA and buy some of the Bullish MAXCPs.

                                Today the lower band and 24000 held on the DJI.  A typical rally going into
                                Independence Day (July Fourth) is developing.  

                                I would now expect the DJI  to rally to its 21-dma.  After that, it may top out
                                and threaten to complete a bearish head/shoulders pattern. So might the SP-500.
                                Supporting that scenario is the relatively low volume on today's rally.  But the
                                news of the retirement of Justice Kennedy from the Supreme Court is very bullish. 
                                It should give business interests a majority there for a decade. 
                                See
                                 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/opinion/sunday/supreme-court-kennedy-roberts.html

                               
Importantly, the Big Banks (BAC and JPM) did not break below their well-tested
                                support today even though Thursday's decline at the close looked quite menacing.
                                It was also significant that the SP-500 and TECL (representing tech stocks) did not
                                break below their 65-dma.  If their Closing Power downtrends can be broken,
                                a rally back to their upper bands this Summer would seem very likely.  But
                                first, they must rise above the resistance of their 5-day ma pivot-points.  

                                                       Very Negative V-I Over-Rides
                                              Positive PI and IP21 Readings at Lower Band

                               
Though I would like to, I cannot accord the market a Buy B2 now even though
                                it could be argued that we should work with a narrower lower band, just as
                                we used a narrower upper band to get the last Sell S9-V.  The reason is that
                                the bearishness of the currently very negative V-Indicator historically
                                overrides the presence of both a positive P-Indicator and a positive
                                Accumulation Index (IP21) when the DJI is 2.3% below the 21-day
                                in May, June and July.  A brief rally may occur but a much bigger decline
                                occurred in 3 of 4 cases where these conditions were present.  In particular,
                                we have to become concerned if the DJI were to form a bearish head and
                                shoulders pattern, as occurred at the tops in 2001, 2002 and 2008.

                                The 2006 version of Peerless does give a Buy B2.  But that was
                                before the V-Indicator's negativity was much factored in  This
                                began in July 2011.

           6/27/2018   
The operative Peerless signal remains a Sell S9V.  Stay short DIA.
                               While we may  now get a brief seasonal rally going into July 4th, it may not
                               rise very far.  No one know just how China or Europe will react to Trump
                               tariffs. Since 1966, the DJI has risen 68.8% of the time over the next 3 trading days
                               in the year of mid-term Elections (1966, 1970, 1974...)  But this rally typically
                               lasts only for a week.  After that, the seasonality turns bearish.  . 

                               The DJI closed 3% below the 21-day ma.  It will only take a further
                               decline of 75 points tomorrow to bring a Buy B2.   Such Buy signals are reliable
                               and we will act on it.  But be careful about anticipating the Buy signal.  I think
                               we should play the odds as Peerless presents them.  (The situation is not
                               unlike playing the card game Blackjack.  One can play by hunches or one
                               can play using the optimal system of betting.  In other words, we can depend
                               on luck or we can employ what has worked best over all the cases since 1929.)

                               The very negative V-Indicator and multiple Sell S9s that we see us
                               now are still telling us that a bear market is still a distinct possibility.  Without
                               a Buy B2,  bear markets soon followed the tagging of the lower band back
                               at June 2001, June 2002 and June 2008.  Thus, it is significant, I believe, that all
                               the major market ETFs show downtrending Closing Powers, that the Hourly
                               DJI chart shows both falling price and Hourly DJI price and DISI trends and
                               it is downright dangerous, the way institutions and traders alike have been very
                               quick to sell into and overwhelm each and every recent rally.  Higher openings
                               that give way to much lower closing definitely dismay the bulls.  So, I would
                               expect more weakness tomorrow.  We see this as "red popsicles" in our
                               TigerSoft candle-stick charts. 

                               I am concerned that a rally now could set up more bearish head/shoulders in a week. 
                               But a decline by SPY, TECL and FAS now could bring a much deeper decline as
                               they break key support levels.  There does not appear an easy way out of the current
                               weakness.   So, any Buy B2 will be worrisome.  More on this if it occurs tomorrow.
                               For now, note that there are some positive technicals. The long-term trend of
                               the A/D Line is still rising.  The current Accumulation Index remains positive for
                               most of the major ETFs.  The Dollar is strong. It made a 12-month high today. 

                              What will need to see are some closing above the openings, in other words, some
                               blue Tiger candlesticks and a break in the Closing Power downtrends. Professionals
                               will have to stop their steady selling into strength and become net buyers.

The operative Peerless signal remains a Sell S9V. Stay short DIA.

                               I keep saying the DJI is quite capable of leading the broader market and
                               and the NASDAQ into a bear market.  Such were the cases in 1977, 2001 and
                               2002.   There is a real danger that some of the big banks (BAC and JPM)
                               and other key blue chips like CAT and IBM will break down below the
                               vital support levels that they are now hovering just above.  It has to be very
                               significant that Warren Buffet's Value-oriented BRKB has already broken
                               below such support.  And of course, Peerless users know that a multitude
                               of Sell S9s set the stage for some of the biggest declines in market history,
                               1929, 1969, 1973, 1981, 1987, 2000-2002 and 2007-2008.                             
                             
                               So, the recent S9 helps our software delay in getting a buy signal in here.
                               So do the negative V-I and OBVPct, which act to over-rule the positive
                               P-I and IP21 until the DJI is more oversold or we see an improvement in
                               the Peerless Indicators on a new low closing.

                                                Should Traders Act Now on a Stochastic-20 Buy
                                                    without a Peerless Buy Signal?


                              It would be unwise to Buy in here until Peerless gives a Buy signal. 
                              Today I looked back at past Junes back to 1990 to see if we
                              should even go long as traders now that the DJI is 2% below the 21-day ma
                              if   the Stochastic-20 (K-Line) were to rise back above the 20-level.  What I found
                              was that when the V-Indicator was very negative, there were very trade-worthy
                              bounces if Peerless gave Buy signals, but without these Buys, there was a very
                              real danger of a serious market decline.

                                                    Wall Street Is Scared of Something!

                               Trump's tariffs do scare Wall Street.  But even more scary is what will
                               happen if Interest Rates rise rapidly given the trillions and trillions of dollars
                               in consumer debt.  That is what I believe is really causing the weakness in the
                               big banks.  A decisive price breakdown by the big banks would be too
                               reminscent of 2007 for traders and hedge funds to ignore.

                               judging from the breakdown in Berkshire Hathaway's stock below
                               very well-tested support. See its chart further below.  Mergers may be
                               in trouble, considering how weak oil refiners have been for the last week
                               or two.  And the big bank stocks are close to serious breakdowns.  See
                               the charts of BAC and JPM below.

                               All this weakness will likely make it hard for the DJI and the market
                               to put in a bottom until prices go lower.

                              As was expected, because this is what happened in 2000 and 2008,
                              the NASDAQ and QQQ are playing "catchup" with the DJI's downside.

We may or may not get a Peerless Buy B2 signal at 24000 and the lower 3.5%
                                band.   We will have to wait and see.   But there's no getting around the
                                signs that both Big Money and Professionals are beating a hasty retreat
                                from the blue chips and there are ample precedents for the DJI leading
                                the entire market lower.  (This has been a running theme in recent Hotlines.)

                              
Whether it is the fears of a wild and unpredictable gunfight in the arena
                                of international trade or its the growing sense that the Debt held by the US
                                Government, by US Consumers and by folks buying houses, car loans or
                                paying off their student loans is reaching unsustainable levels, we will
                                find out.  Either of these high anxieties are enough to bring profit-taking.
                                And the profit-taking is now causing real technical damage.
Moreover,
                                I can't help noting the reports that debt delinquncies are on the rise.  This also
                                occurred in 2007.  And it was big Bank stocks' tops back then that
                                were the first important signs of big trouble.
  Moreover, the Dollar
                                broke its uptrend today. Is this a sign that China may be selling a lot
                                more US Treasuries?


                               
Look belolw at how JPM and BAC are sitting precariously at their
                                well-tested flat price-supports.  If  these key bank stocks do what CAT
                                and Bershire Hathaway did today, they will break below their key supports. 
                                That will bring about a new wave of technical selling.  And if the mutual funds,
                                as a result of this, start loading up on leveraged Index shorts as insurance
                                against a  much bigger decline, then we are bound to see a test of the
                                February lows at 23400-23500.
