                NEW- 8/23/2017 -Tiger's Elite Service Professional Page has a new Peerless update today.
               
Use the NEW TIGER RANKER (see instructions there) to produce a
                graph-able list of all the new B24s, new Closing Power highs/lows and
                Tiger Traders' Tool high and lows.
 
                The B24 occurs when a stock has had an IP21 above +.375 in the previous
                40 trading days and then makes a fresh new high with the current IP21 above +.23
                (These parameters seem reasonably tight.  Let me know if you think differently.)

9/11/2017           Breadth was excellent on today's big 1% advance in the DJI and SP-500.
                                           The recent DJI's price action can be viewed as a bullish inverted and
                                           shoulders.  SDS bearishly failed again at its falling 65-dma and today
                                           made a new low. The NASDAQ shows an even clearer example of
                                           an  inverted head/shoulders pattern.|



                                           But important technical problems persist:
                                                       1) This has been a defensive stocks' advance. 
                                                       2) Big banks are suspiciously lagging. 
                                                       3) The gains are being made mostly in thinner over-night trading.
                                                       4) Volume is not increasing much on advances.
                                                       5) Red distribution prevails over Blue Accumulation.

                                           Yes, this is a manic market. In one day of trading, it has gone from testing
                                           key support to looking very much it might make a run in new high ground.
                                           The reason: the markets are now focusing on the way Hurricanes Harvey and Irma
                                           will bring about billions of dollars worth of re-building.  In this, they could have
                                           have the same effect for stocks as the ever-vaunted, but never passed,
                                           legislation for a huge nation-wide infrastructure makeover.  But will the Republican
                                           majority set aside their budget-balancing priorities?  They still want a big tax cut.
                                           These priorities would seem to be inconsistent.  Again, the market may be turning
                                           unrealistically optimistic. Much depends on whether Congress behaves as it did
                                           after the Miami hurricane of 1926 or whether it acts on a new infrastructure
                                           scheme as it did in the Fall of 1954 with Eisenhower's championing.


                                          
Meanwhile, the DJI's price action has setup a short-term bullish inverted
                                           head/shoulders price pattern. These are normally reliable and should be trusted.
                                           A close above its neckline (22400) should be judged as a Buy B10.  This
                                           would have the effect of nullifying an S9-v (negative V-I) at the 1.8% upper
                                           band or an S12 (negative IP21) at the upper 2.4% band).  A clear breakout
                                           should allow the DJI to reach 22800-23000.  But for the markets to stay at this
                                           level for very long,  history suggests that the DJI's bullish inverted head and
                                           shoulders pattern will need to see a noticeable rise in volume on the NYSE.
                                           Today's increase was modest.  But, as we know, lots of institutional trading is
                                           occurring away from the NYSE and prices can be manipulated by using the
                                           thinner futures market before official trading starts in New York.
 



 

                                                 
                        A Big New Advance?

                                           
The task for us now is to see if the internals of the market can support
                                            a big new leg up in this aged bull market.  Historically, we could see a
                                            sell-off like the one occurred after the Miami hurricane of 1926.  Or
                                            we could see a renewed bull market if Congress passes a big
                                            infrastructure re-building program, like Eisenhower's inter-state highways
                                            scheme in the mid 1950s?  

1926-1927
1954-1955

                                                                   Watch The Markets Internals

                                           Volume should be higher, but the Peerless V-Indicator rose enough
                                           to give us hope that it will be positive enough tomorrow to avert a new
                                           S9-V occurring provided we get another big-up day. Watch the NYSE Down
                                           Volume number tomorrow.  It fell to only 148 million today.  Another day of
                                           low Down Volume like today's would be bullish.

                                           Daily volume must rise to eat up the overhead supply of stock.  The lagging
                                           Hourly DJI's DISI-OBV Line warns us that too much of the rally is occurring
                                           in the pre-market thinner-trading  market.  That is the same message the still falling
                                           Closing Powers give.

                                           Unfortunately, the Accumulation Index remains negative.  Still a reasonably
                                           clear DJI breakout above its flat, well-tested resistance into all-time high
                                           territory should be treated as a judged Buy B10.  This will have the practical
                                           effect of reversing the Sell S9-V from last month  and ought to allow the DJI to
                                           come close to its upper 3.5% band or 12800.

==================================================================================
                9/8/2017          
 The DJI and SP-500, having tested their 50-dma and 65-dma supports,
                                          now want to rally.  But the Closing Powers for DIA and SPY are still
                                          declining; so most likely, the recovery this coming week will not make
                                          more than nominal new highs.  The Sell S9-V still is operative. 
 






                                          Hurricane Irma was a monster, but it could have been bigger and could have
                                          hit Miami directly.  So, there is a certain amount of relief now and the futures
                                          suggest a rally up from the DJI's rising 65-dma.  I have studied the DJI back to
                                          1929 to see if a case can be made for believing a Buy B11 should have been
                                           rendered this September and we should be buyers now.  Only in 36% of the
                                          cases would buying on a test within 1% of the 65-dma have worked out
                                          well, while in 16 (64%) of the cases it would have been better to wait for
                                          lower prices. 


                       
Should we have had a Peerless Buy B11 on the DJI's test of its 65-dma?


                       
 
                       Our software did not give one on the recent test because its rules require
                        the DJI to close nearer to the rising 21-dma and do not allow a Buy B11
                        when the V-I is so negative.  To show the reason for these two qualifiers
                        look at the cases in September if we do allow a Buy B11 in September
                        when the DJI  closes simply within 1% of its rising 65-dma  and we disregard
                        the level of the V-I.

                        There are 2/3 more failures of such Buy B11s than successes.  A V-I reading
                        below -45, as is true now, occurred more often with the failures of buying at the rising
                        65-dma.  Only 2 of the 9 cases that showed such a low V-I in the September B11
                        successes while 9 of the 15 failures had a V-I below -45.  See all the cases:

    The Peerless S9-V stands as a warning now.  The DJI looks particularly
                                      vulnerable if it finally breaks its 65-dma which is 133 points below today's close.
                                      I noted a few nights ago how rapidly our IP21 (current Accumulation Index)
                                      deteriorated in 1940 just before the start of WWII in Western Europe and in
                                      early 1962 before the Cuban crisis.



                                      SPY is also only +1.87 above its key 65-dma.  Not for nothing have I
                                      suggested buying SDS, the inverse of  SPY.  See all the Buy B7s on the SPY
                                      chart.  These show heavy professional buying.  The rising Tiger Day Traders' Tool
                                      is also predicting a breakout above the 65-dma.





                                      Today, the Big Bank stocks completed new head/shoulders patterns after showing
                                      heavy red Distribution on the right shoulder.  This internal weakness adds to the
                                      likelihood of a decline this month and into the climactic month of October.
                                      See GS, JPM, BAC and FAS. 





                                      Some pundits claim that the Bank de-regulation will go now no further because of
                                      Wells Fargo's opening of thousands of accounts without customers' knowledge or
                                      approval.  Politics being what is, the Big Banks look pretty safe to me.  I think the
                                      bigger problem for bank stocks lies in the falling Dollar.  It fell to new lows today.
                                      A weak Dollar hurts Wall Street's ability to keep hot international funds in
                                      US securities and bonds.  Eventually, the FED may be moved to defend the Dollar
                                      by raising rates.  This will hurt the market.



                                      The second danger that looms large is the awful destruction that may soon happen
                                      if Florida is hit directly this weekend by monster hurricane Irma.  $200 billion in
                                      damages is not outside the realm of nightmarish possibilities.  Insurance companies,
                                      businesses and individuals will all have to sell a lot of stock to rebuild.  It may even
                                      be that some insurance companies will become insolvent.  That will be very unsettling
                                      for Wall Street.  With the market in an 8 1/2 year-old bull market, it may not take much
                                      to bring about a panic if low-lying Florida takes a direct hit from Irma.



                                      Tech stocks, particularly biotechs, have seemingly paid no attention to the DJI's
                                      growing weakness.  I would suggest that Biotechs are getting an inflow of aggressive
                                      funds because the other outlets for speculation on the long side are dwindling.  In
                                      any case, in 2000 and 2008, biotechs topped out after the DJI did.  But it did not
                                      prevent their ultimately selling off in synch with a bigger decline.

                                               Looking at Biotech IBB in August 2008, one would have
                                               had no reason to think a Crash was just ahead.

    ==================================================================================
                    9/6/2017  
    The Peerless S9-V still operates.  The markets remain locked in their
                                      trading ranges.
      Given the growing crisis with North Korea and the threat
                                      posed by another monster hurricane, it is amazing that there is not more
                                      hasty profit-taking in the over-extended DJI and SP-500.  True there is
                                      mounting red Distribution, but the DJI does not want to break down
                                      below its 50-day ma and the SP-500 is still sitting atop its 65-dma.

                                      QQQ's upward momentum is waning.  See how its 65-dma is flattening.
                                      Professionals have been net sellers for some time, hence the purple S7s.
                                      But every dip back to the 65-dma has found support.  The high level of
                                      the Accum. Index has shown this.  But now our Accum. Index is weakening.
                                      It's not clear that another swift decline down to 141 would find sufficient support
                                      to hold it up there.



                                      It is important now that the most important ETFs not fall below their key supports.
                                      DIA's negative and falling IP21 and Closing Power warn that it may lead the
                                      market down just as it has often led it up. That so many big banks show bearish
                                      head/shoulders patterns cannot be ignored.  The greater relative strength in
                                      the biggest tech stocks and the NASDAQ is noted but we have seen this year how
                                      quickly they fall back to their support-levels when the DJI and SPY fall back.



                                     If the SPY were to turn down sharply now, chartists would see
                                     a bearish head/shoulders pattern there.  Going into the spooky month
                                     of October, this would be bad news for the bulls.






                                     
    I fear the DJI and SP-500 will soon give way to all the pressures on it.
                                      I have suggested buying SDS, the ETF that is a short on the SP-500.  It is the
                                      good breadth and the rising NYSE A/D Line, born of very low interest rates,
                                      which has been the bedrock of this bull market.  The Fed has not wanted to run
                                      the risk of a stock market sell-off, fearing that that the stock market's strength is
                                      more than anything else the main fuel for the general economy.  But now the FED's
                                      second-in-command, Stanley Fischer, has said he will resign next month.  This will leave
                                      only 3 members on the all-important Fed's Open Market Committee, the group
                                      that determines the Fed's monetary policy.  This means that President Trump is now in a
                                      position to appoint a majority of the FOMC.  Trump said in the Presidential
                                      Campaign that he thought interest rates should go up faster. This could be
                                      bearish for the market, assuming he appoints more conservative-minded hawks.
                                      That remains to be seen, of course.  But one clue here might be gleaned from
                                      the way short-term interest rates turned up after Fisher's announcement yesterday.

    ==================================================================================
                    9/5/2017  
    The Peerless S9-V has kept the markets locked in their trading ranges.
                                     Any breakout run is expected to produce a new Peerless S9-v or S12.
                                     Each decline by the DJI towards the 65-dma keeps finding support; the
                                     belief among traders is apparently that Fed Chairwoman Yellen wants to
                                     hold the stock market up until her term ends in January.  Does she have
                                     that capability?  So far, she has.  But Septembers often bring market tops
                                     and the hopes for a big tax cut are being dashed by war preparations
                                     and the unexpected costs of this years' record hurricane season.

                                                 
     Look at all the CP Divergence B7s on SDS

                                     I would suggest that the key chart to watch now is SDS.  This is the inverted
                                     (short) ETF on SPY.  Each rally in it for a long time has been turned back
                                     by its falling 65-dma.  I don't think that can continue much longer.  See how
                                     strong the Tiger Closing Power and Day Traders' Tools are.
     I think we should
                                     buy SDS in expectation that it will break out.  Typically any stock or ETF
                                     showing a long string of Closing Power divergence Buy B7s is a reliable buy
                                     when that stock closes above the 65-dma.  See some examples here.  (Commodity
                                     traders should appreciate the first set of examples.)


                                                



                                                  
      How will there be any money left for a tax cut? 

                                    
    I believe the biggest specific factor allowing the market to rise since Trump was elected
                                     has been the hope that wealthy individuals and corporations would have their
                                     taxes significantly reduced.  That may not happen.  The stock market will
                                     not like this.


                                    
    Preparing for a war with North Korea does not come cheap!  What's worse?
                                     Fears about the escalating tensions with North Korea are not the only source of
                                     anxiety for the financial markets now.  No one knows for sure how the legislation to raise
                                     the debt ceiling by the end of this month and then to lower business taxes will play
                                     out.  On the one hand, conservative legislators want to contain government spending,
                                     but on the other hand, Texas and Florida will need massive federal aid.  The two
                                     hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, could do a colossal $300+ billion in damage if
                                     Florida is hit like Texas was.  What's worse?  The actual toll could go still higher;
                                     the hurricane season is just beginning.  It is not over until November.  What's worse?
                                     The warmer ocean temperature is apparently fueling more and bigger hurricanes.  All
                                     the destruction this year has happened with ocean water temperatures rising just a
                                     single degree or two.  What if water temperatures rise by 5 degrees over the next
                                     fifty to one hundred years?   Nowhere is this shown more clearly than in the falling
                                     property insurance stocks. 

                                     The insurance stocks will surely have to sell a lot of stock to raise the money they will
                                     need to pay out claims this hurricane season.

        The DJI's  Negative Accumulation Shows Big Money Is Getting Anxious

                      
    Tensions with North Korea are scaring overseas traders more than in the US.  So, we'll
                       see tomorrow if the Professionals here once more bid up prices after a weak opening.   The
                       Peerless system remains on a Sell S9-V and would likely give a new Sell if the DJI rallies
                       to the 2.4% band.  The tech leadership has been re-established.  But its sudden down-
                       drafts in the last six months may again be a problem.  Meanwhile, GLD and the
                       gasoline ETF, UGA, are rising, as was expected.  They may be safer bets at this stage. 

                       I think we have to be quite concerned that the DIA's IP21 (current AI) is so negative despite
                       the DJI's recent rally.  It was in the rapid deterioration of the Tiger Accumulation Index and its
                       cumulative variation, IPA, that a Tiger software user back in May 1940 would have foreseen
                       the imminent start of World War II in Western Europe and then in May 1962 the imminent start
                       of the Cuban Missile crisis.  Let's us hope the current deep negativity of the IP21 passes or presages
                       something else far less dire and catastrophic.

                       (One way out of the crisis would be a military coup in North Korea.  Back in 1938, there were
                             German Generals who were ready to kill Hitler if Britain and France had said "NO" instead of "YES" to
                             the annexation of the German Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. The British Prime Minister was informed of
                             this plot against Hitler, but chose what turned out to be the wrong path.  Appeasement of a ruthless, war-bent
                             dictator is highly risky.  But then mere talking is not appeasement.  It is common sense.)

    ETFs and Their Current Internal Strength Readings

                       In the table below, the Pivot Point shows the point where a lower close Monday will turn
                       the 5-dma down.  AROC is the annualized rate of change, in this case of the 5-dma.  Trading
                       with the Closing Power trends is generally advised, but pick the ETFs with the highest IP21s
                       (current Accum.Index) and Relative Strength versus the DJI for the last 50 trading days (ITRS).

    ======




                    
    September often brings tops and October panics. In the table below, I show that there
                    were 24 September tops in the last 52 years.  16 of the 24 showed an IP21 reading of under
                  
    +.05 At -.05, our IP21 now shows considerable risk just by itself.  But mix in the deeply
                   negative V-I level of -57 and I would judge it would be time to go short DIA and SPY
                   if they can rally and close 2.4% over their 21-dma. 
     
                  
    The DJI's historical data from 1965 to 2016 for the year after a Presidential
                   Election shows the following DJI changes after September 3rd:

                                                                  Avg Gain   Pct.Advances
                                 after 5-trading days      +0.1%        42.9%
                                 after 10-trading days    +0.3%        50.0%
                                 after 21-trading days    +1.1%        57.1%
                                 after 42-trading days    -0.3%         57.1%
                   In re-doing these numbers, I have just added 1965, 2015 and 2016
    .                .

                                              
    September Tops' Study                 

                   
    Since 1965, there have been ten (10) September peaks that were quickly followed
                    by declines of 10% or more.  Only four of these occurred after 1965.  These recent
                    cases are probably the ones we should look at now in order to see what are the signs
                    of a top that we should be looking for.
     Peerless signals occurred at each case.  The
                    DJI closed, at least 1.7% over the 21-dma.  And the IP21 (current AI) was not more
                    than +.06 as any of these tops were made. 

                    No bell is sounded, of course, when a top is made.  So, looking at the charts of these
                    tops as of the day that top was made should serve to make us appreciate how important
                    it is to look at our Peerless charts daily since we are entering the frequently bearish month
                    of September and since we have not had an economic downturn or bear market for 7 1/2
                    years.

     #1 Happy Labor Day.  Give some thought to all those who built the
                                                America we often take for granted.  Labor's real story is largely untold.

                                                  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/187725.Labor_s_Untold_Story

                                                               



                                
    The Jobs report for August was down from year ago.  This makes it more
                                 unlikely the Feds will raise interest rates unless the CPI numbers jump up hugely
                                 because of Hurricane Harvey and the higher gasoline prices. Some Fed Governors
                                 like Volcker and Greenspan would used a jump in higher oil prices which drove up
                                 the CPI numbers to move up or keep high interest rates, especially if the Dollar was
                                 weak.  So, we have to keep watching the Dollar now.

                                 Below I have highlighted in red those months where the Jobs number was down from
                                 a year ago.  A long series of Red numbers warns of an impending or on-going recession.
                                 In 2007, 10 of the 12 numbers were red and all 12 Jobs' numbers were red in 2008. 
                                
    Seven straight red months of Jobs' numbers last occurred in May 2008; this was a very
                                 good time to sell.
    We have seen only 3 straight red numbers here.

    The rally back to the recent highs continued today.  It will probably
                                                advance some more on Friday.  September, however, is a month to
                                                look for signs of another top. 


                                              
     September Tops: As we begin the sometimes dangerous month of September, 
                                                further below, look at the past September tops to see how often they were made,
                                                how we would recognized them in the past, what damage they did to stock prices and how
                                                long the subsequent decline lasted.  First, I want to set out the history of
                                                September declines.  This is shown below. It will be completed in the next day
                                                or two. 

                                               
    #3 New Peerless chart explained.  I have almost finished a Peerless update
                                                which will let you use TC-2000's historical data base.  It goes back to before
                                                1990 for many stocks now trading with same symbol. You can subscribe
                                                to TC-2000 for $30/month and use it for current data, but of course it will not
                                                have the Peerless DJI Index data we need and it will not have the specialized
                                                downloads that TigerSoft's web-page offer for just $200/12 months, about
                                                $17/month.  You can get the historical data on a CD from us as well as the
                                                Peerless update for $110.  ESP subscribers can download the new Peerless
                                                program early next week, but you will need the historical data from us for $30
                                                or get a subscription to TC-2000.  Instructions for using TC-2000 will be posted
                                                here next week.

                      Aug 30, 2017   
    The markets are advancing in hopes of Congress voting a big tax cut,
                                               because of the seasonal bullishness just before labor day and because
                                               the Sun finally came out in Houston!  The announced 3% growth
                                               helped the Dollar, but pushed up interest rates.                                               



                                              
    The Sell-S9-V needs another Peerless Sell to turn the markets back down.
                                              
    Most likely, the often bearish month of September will probably produce one. 
                                               For now the Closing Powers have broken their downtrends and with  the key
                                               supports for DIA, SPY, QQQ, MDY and IWM all holding, it looks like the DJI
                                               will rally back to its old highs just above 21200.  And led by high priced AAPL, BA
                                               and UNC, the DJI may zip up to the upper 2.4% band where we will probably get
                                               another Sell S9v next month.

                                               Expect the NASDAQ to be the strongest Index now.  Its very high A/I/200 score
                                               of 194 is associated with a further advance; so is the Closing Power downtrend
                                               break and so is the well-controlled up-trending price channel.  The very high AI/200
                                               score now is even higher than in Augusts in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1999
                                               These were the years showing the highest AI/200 scores in the past.  Note this  
                                               study was produced with the new Peerless historical data charts.
    To produce old
                                               charts like this, you will need a historical data CD from us ($25) and the new Peerless,
                                               which will posted soon on the Tiger ESP Page.


     


                                                             
      This is a story that will have legs. 

                                                                    Was 2013 Hurricane Sandy Relief Package 'Full of Pork'?

                                                              Texas lawmakers say they voted against the 2013 aid bill because
                                                it included spending unrelated to Sandy.  There's a factual bone to pick
                                                with this claim.  (NY Times)
     

                                                From tragedies like the one playing out in Houston may come greater
                                                compassion  and a sense that we are all part of a larger community. 
                                                Perhaps, it will help end the political grid-lock in Washington.

    Hurricane Harvey Shifts Political Winds in Washington

    By CARL HULSE

    The hurricane has transformed the budget debate, turning Republican critics of federal spending into proponents of billions of dollars of storm relief.

                                               A good gain is expected tomorrow.  Assuming the DJI can surpass 21900,
                                               the next target will then be its recent high just below 22200.  Breadth was good.
                                               There were 707 more up than down on the NYSE. 

                                              
    A hedging strategy is preferred because this remains a very divided market.
                                               There were 99 new lows today and the Bearish MINCPs show little ability to
                                               rally.  For example, Corn, which was suggested for shorting, declined more today. 
                                               Gasoline prices and California oil refiner ANDV rose again on very high volume.

    Stocks To Buy

                                              
    There are number of interesting tech MAXCPs that look quite bullish.  Military
                                               spending is rising.  See
    KEM, VMW and AVAV have compelling stories.
                                               My "Big Military" sector is the highest ranked sector based on the percentage
                                               of stocks above their 65-dma.

                                              

                                              

                                                       
      A Breakout by TECL looks likely. 

                           
        See how consistently positiveTECL's AI/200 has been for the last year, how its
                                Closing Power downtrend has been broken and how in the past it has risen sharply higher
                                after making breakouts above well-tested, flat-to-slightly-rising resistance.

                        Aug 29, 2017    
     The DJI just will not sell off.  In pre-market trading today it was down
                                                   over 100, but then rose steadily all day long and closed up for the day.
                                                   This lifted the key ETFs' Closing Powers and now it looks like Professional buying
                                                   may take over for the rest of the week.  Of course, the Professional buying
                                                   could end sooner.  But this is bullish action for the DJI short-term.

                                                    The NASDAQ's Closing Power downtrend has been bullishly broken.






                                                   If the DJI can rally to12400, we will almost certainly see a new Peerless Sell which
                                                   will reinforce the current Peerless S9-V. 

                                                   What might bring about the rally?  The FED just does not want to risk a decline. 
                                                   And with that safety-net bolstering them and guaranteeing their long trades now,
                                                   traders can look forward to Congress passing legislation which will keep the
                                                   Government open for business next month.  Congress also seems to moving closer
                                                   to a tax cut for the the biggest holders of stocks. And of course, there is a belief,
                                                   which is probably correct, that the Fed will not raise rates now because of the
                                                   need to rebuild after Hurricane Harvey.  

                                                   But it remains unclear how much the broad market will be lifted since the Closing Power
                                                   of each is below its falling 21-dma and the V-I for the DJI remains quite
                                                   negative.  The latter fact shows that the buying is still limited mostly to leading stocks.
                                                   Others are being steadily sold, presumably out of fear for the general market
                                                   in the face of the weak Fall seasonality.  No big surprise here.  Peerless teaches that
                                                   it is quite common for the DJI to hold up longer than the A/D Line.  In fact, it is
                                                   this behavior that produced our Sell S9 signals at so many market tops. 


                                                 
    If DIA can close above its 21-dma and flat resistance at 219-220,
                                                  it will likely sprint to a new high.  A move much higher to the 2.4%
                                                  upper band of the DJI (22354 now) will bring a new sell S9-V/Sell S12.







                                                                 
      Watch BA, AAPL and UNH 

                                                  
    Boeing, the DJI-30's highest priced component, seems ready to begin a new
                                                   surge.  Others in that camp are high priced AAPL and UNH.  Watch them
                                                   tomorrow.  Big advances by them will inordinately make the DJI-30 rise.
                                                   But there there is a problem with their leadership now.  While their Closing
                                                   Powers show Professionals would be the main buyers, any move up may face
                                                   significant Big Money distribution, judging from the negative Accum. Index
                                                   readings for BA and UNH. See this in the 3 charts below.




                                                  

                                                                                      
        SDS

                                                 
     Last night I suggested shorting and holding short provided SDS (the ETF
                                                   short on the SP-500), but I added that any position should be closed
                                                   out if it closed back below its 65-dma.

    August 28, 2017    The Peerless Sell S9-v still operates.  The key ETFs Closing
                                                    Powers are all falling.  A test by the DJI of its rising 65-dma
                                                    seems probable.   SPY seems likely to break below its 65-dma.
                                                    SDS, which I mentioned last night, should be bought and held
                                                    provided it does not close back below its 65-dma.

      "Find A New Trend and Ride It until It Ends"

                                                    New trends and stronger trends are becoming apparent.  The
                                                    Dollar's weakness continues.  UUP has been a good short sale
                                                    and should be held.  Gold has been fairly steadily rising and NUGT
                                                    is now playing catch up.  Copper has proven that a month of
                                                    Professional buying just below the 65-dma was a good reason
                                                    us to buy.  Corn and Wheat have broken important support.  Another
                                                    leg down seems to have started.

                                                    We've done well the Chinese stocks.  They got clipped with
                                                    profit-taking today as the world's markets weakened.  Draw their
                                                    Closing Power uptrend-lines with these stocks and take profits when
                                                    they are broken: CO, CHN, YINN.  Take profits in CO.


                                                    Gasoline futures will must surely rise, now that 20% of the US oil
                                                    refining has been put off-line for two or three months.  I would think
                                                    Crude Oil will also rise.  So cover most Oil stock shorts is my suggestion.


                                                   
                                                     Yahoo tells us that it is the added threat of war with North Korea
                                                     because of their missile test above and beyond Japan that has
                                                     taken the futures down 1/2% or more this morning.  Rather, I
                                                     think it's the risk of a rapid rise in Oil and Gas prices.  They hit
                                                     the markets very hard in October 1973 and several times later
                                                     on while Carter was President.  There is a similar risk now that
                                                     I think the market cannot ignore.  If the Fed were to raise rates,
                                                     the market's problems will worsen.  But I don't expect this.

    Most Natural disasters don't usually effect the stock market except
                                                    in the very short-term.
      But the massive flood damage in SE Texas this week
                                                    will be comparable to the destruction of Hurricanes Katrina and Andrew, possibly
                                                    combined.


                                                   
    So, let's see how the market reacts.  This coming week's bullish seasonality will 
                                                    bolster the market after a day or two day down is my guess.  I suspect that the
                                                    huge size of the swirling storm shown the weather maps before Friday night's
                                                    landfall surely must have caused some clever folks on Wall Street to have foresee
                                                    the coming disaster.  This partly explains the sharp decline in the Tiger Accumulation
                                                    Index on Thursday and Friday.


                                                                  Costliest Natural Disasters

                                                             
    1.  Hurricane Katrina  $108-149 Billion  August 29, 2005
                                                              2.  Northridge Earthquake $65 Billion  January 17, 1994
                                                              3.  Hurricane Sandy   $50-75 Billion  October 29, 2012
                                                              4.  Hurricane Ike  $37 Billion  September 13, 2008

                                                    Another bullish consideration: Janet Yellen would like to prevent the 8 1/2 year
                                                    bull market market from entering a bear market while she runs the FED.  Her
                                                    term as Fed Chairman ends next January.

                                                    But Nature has delivered a powerful blow to the US economy.  Strictly speaking,
                                                    History suggests the market will be lower in six weeks, but since bad hurricanes
                                                    mostly hit in the Fall season when the market is often weaker anyway, we can't be
                                                    sure.  Moreover, the re-building will bring some businesses added profits
                                                    and the economic shock should keep interest rates in check, too.

     
                                             
    The Peerless S9-V and falling closing powers have been making it
                                              hard for the DJI to get back above its 21-dma at 21915.  Now SPY
                                              is sitting on its 65-dma, ready to move down from this pivot point.
                                              Will the selling start a big wave down? 

                                              It's a good bet that the aftermath of Hurricane Ike will cause additional
                                              stock selling, by those who need to raise money do cope with its
                                              consequences.  Presumably, private flood insurance carriers there
                                              will do the same.  But most home-owners and businesses do not have
                                              it.  An Emergency national fund will be used. 

                                              Ordinarily, the DJI rises right before Labor day. Besides, watching the
                                              Closing Powers and support levels of DIA, SPY and QQQ, watch what happens
                                              to the oil stocks and gasoline prices. It's not clear how much of the nation's
                                              oil refining will be shut down?  Will this delay Trump's plans to sell off 1/2 of the
                                              Federal Emergency oil reserves?

     

     
                                  
    Consider buying SDS if it clearly surpasses its 65-dma
                                   Its 65-dma will have to turn up to become bullish.
                                   But see the new Accumulation and how fast the Day Traders' Tool
                                   is rising.

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

                     August 24, 2017    The Peerless Sell S9-v still operates.   But look for a small DJI
                                                   rally.  Next week has a reliably positive upward bias.  And recall
                                                   the study I did recently showing that twice as many topsoccur in
                                                   September as August.  We should not be surprised if the DJI rallies.
                                                   With or without Trump, Republicans do firmly control Congress.  They
                                                   should be able to get a big tax cut passed.  That's what Wall Street is really
                                                   looking forward, too.  Everything else is secondary.  But naturally, there are
                                                   still doubts about what the President will do and so the market is only
                                                   creeping back upwards.  Stay hedged.  Lots of stocks and groups remain
                                                   in downtrends and show very heavy red Distribution.  Remember that the
                                                   DJI usually tops out after most other indexes.

                                                             DIA's Closing Power and Tiger Traders' Tool are
                                                             both still falling.  So, DIA needs now to get back above its
                                                             21-dma at 219 or else it will fall back to its rising
                                                             65-dma support at 215.




                                                   Hedging by playing shorts in our Bearish MINCPs against longs
                                                   among the strongest Chinese Bullish MAXCPs has worked well.
                                                   Nothing seems ready to change these profitable trends.

                                                              The DJIA Must Do Most of The Heavy-Lifting

                                                   The narrowing of the advance is most clearly seen not in the
                                                   NYSE A/D Line but in the falling percentage of all stocks above
                                                   their 65-dma and the rising percentage of stock sectors having
                                                   most of their stocks below their 65-dma.  So, it's probably going
                                                   to be up to the blue-chips in the DJIA to try to launch a rally
                                                   and keep key stocks and ETFs from breaking their important
                                                   support levels.



                                                         The Closing Power for IWM (Russell-2000) only
                                                         broke its downtrend.  Now IWM may next rally
                                                         back up to its flat 65-dma resistance.  A failure their
                                                         to go higher should be shorted.  So should a breaking
                                                         of its key horizontal support at 134.5       
                                            



                                                   QQQ is at a pivot point.  A move up from here would get it
                                                   up past its 21-dma, but a decline would bearishly take it
                                                   below its 65-dma.  Its Closing Power and TTT are both
                                                   still in downtrends.  Despite QQQ's position being just
                                                   above its rising 65-dma and uptrend-line, Professionals
                                                   and Day Traders are not yet bullish.




                                                   Right now, Utilities and Chinese stocks make up most of the
                                                   Bullish MAXCPs.  This reflects the defensiveness of the market
                                                   and the weakening Dollar as interest rates seem to remain on hold for
                                                   the next few months.

    ================================================================================
                    August 23, 2017     The Peerless Sell S9-v still operates, but I think the DJI wants to rally.
                                                   Having successfully tested its rising 50-day ma, a test of the resistance
                                                   at its highs would be a typical next move.  A further rebound would also would be in
                                                   keeping with the tendency of the market to rally in the week before Labor
                                                   Day.  Since 1965, the DJI has risen 61.2% of the time over the next
                                                   two weeks, but note that the average advance is only 0.3%.  Breadth
                                                   (+181) today belied the declines in the major ETFs. 

                                                   It is important that the DJI rallies now in hopes that it brings along lot of other
                                                   stocks. Market makers, big banks, deal-makers and the Fed know this.
                                                   I do not think that they will let the market turn down significantly without
                                                   much more strain (and bearish divergences).


                                                   But internals still remain weak and negative. A 2.7% rally from here would
                                                   produce a new Sell S9-V.  Overhanging everything, Septembers are often
                                                   quite bearish.  Some will also tell you that President Trump poses the biggest risk
                                                   by his much-faulted personality.  His over-reactions, personal vendettas
                                                   with Republican Congressional leaders and Russia-Gate are all producing
                                                   a lack of focus that so far seems to be preventing Congress from cutting taxes
                                                   on and for the wealthy. 
                                                         https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/23/us/politics/trump-wall-flake.html?emc=edit_th_20170824&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=58223894

                                                   For my part, I think Wall Street will be pleasantly surprised by the outcome on
                                                   this. Others must think the same. That is the real reason the market refuses to sell off.
                                                   All stock market history shows that such tax cuts if passed into law would be
                                                   quite bullish.

                                                   Being hedged now seems advisable. 






                                                   The Closing Power downtrends for MDY and IWM have been broken.
                                                   I think these short sales should be covered.  Their support levels held
                                                   and it's likely that they will now rally back up to their 65-day moving
                                                   averages.  But the heaviest red distribution Oil and Retail stocks should
                                                   be held short.  Chipotle (CMG) also looks like it will keep falling a long ways.

                                                   Our Stocks' Hotline on the Tiger ESP page is long and short about the
                                                   same number of stocks.  The best of the Chinese stocks in our MAXCPs
                                                   should keep rallying.  At the time, the heaviest Red Distribution Oil and Retail
                                                   stocks with falling Closing Powers should be held short. But they are down
                                                   a long ways.  Cover any of them if their Closing Powers rises above its
                                                   21-dma.

                                                    How To Use DIA's Tiger Day Traders' Tool (TTT) at This Time 

                                                  
    The trick with TTT is to understand that this indicator sees the ETF or stock
                                                   the way a day-trader would.  It only measures what happens after each day's
                                                   opening
    and it only shows the past cumulative upside potential after the opening
                                                   less downside potential.  Here is the exact formula.  Where i is a day of trading, the
                                                   formula is TTT(i) = TTT(i-1) + (High(i)-Opening(i)) - (Opening-La(i))
                                                   Our formula only deals in absolute amounts, not percentages.  This actually
                                                   gives it a mild positive bias in lower priced stocks. Avoid using it with
                                                   stocks under $10.

                                                   Its trend-breaks are important.  But it is not good at calling exact bottoms.  Often
                                                   there is a quick reversals without much warning from TTT.  But prices will usually
                                                   not rally much without the downtrend of TTT first breaking.  Day traders will quickly
                                                   re-assess the stock's or ETF's situation when the TTT breaks its downtrend and
                                                   suddenly there is a lot more upside potential. 

                                                   TTT Divergences from prices are less important.  They can build up for three or
                                                   months before there is a big breakdown in prices.  There seems to be a reliable           
                                                   Summer pattern of TTT weakness relative to the DIA trend.  If the TTT finally
                                                   breaks its well-tested uptrend-line or flat support-line after such a bearish
                                                   divergence, expect a significant price move.

                                                  
    Since 1998, when DIA was first started, there have been 12 cases, as I count
                                                   them it, where the TTT angled down in the Summer while the DIA held
                                                   up, like now.  In 9 of these cases a breaking of well-tested DIA - TTT support
                                                   between July and September led to significant decline general market declines.

                                                   See ==> http://www.tigersoft.com/Peerless-Research/TigerDTT/INDEX.htm

                                                   In 3 of these 12 cases, prices moved higher. So, if the TTT downtrend is broken
                                                   or the TTT shows a series of rising bottoms in the ordinarily weak Summer
                                                   period, look for a DIA advance.   

                                                                       Still A Defensive and Blue Chip Market

                                                  
     Only 42% of all stocks and ETFs are above their 65-dma.  This number
                                                    must get back over 50% or else September will probably bring a sell-off.
