Sell S10     December 21, 2013 Peerless - (C) 2013 William Schmidt, Ph.D.

           S10  - Well Tested DJI Support Failure


           There have been 22 cases since 1928.  The average decline by the time of the next Peerless Buy
           was 5.7%.  There have been 3  losses.  One probably should not act on a Sell S10 in December,
           as this is the most bullish month of the year.

2011 Peerless Edition    There are 3 conditions that bring automatic Sell S10s.

     1) Close below well tested horizontal support that goes back 40 or more days.
               
                                   Date           DJI Gain at time of next Peerless Buy
                                   ----------------------------------------------------
                                    1/14/1947    177.4            .   021  (2.1%)
                                    7/27/1977     888.43           .092
                                    1/7/1978        793.49           .056
                                    ---------------------------------------------------
                                    Number of trades = 3    Avg. Gain= 5.6%
                  Even though there are only  a few cases where the computer can spot an "S10", the signal
           is important, because it puts Peerless users on the alert to watch for well-tested support levels.
           And makes them aware of the key role they play in the stock market.  They point out the high
           inflection points in the market, where bounce-back rallies occur and where market collapses
           often start.

      2) DJI close more than 10.1% below 21-day ma

       3) DJI recovers back after #2 above for 20 trading days to tag 3.0% lower
                  and closing below 3.5% lower band.


#2-#3
           New Sell S10
                        Back-testing to 1928 Shows This Is Safer. 

                                   What worked well between 1942 and 2008 does not allow for declines like those
                       that took place between 1929-1933 and 1937..  Peerless was very closely tested back
                       to 1942, but this market is straining the limits of what was normal behavior after the Battle
                       of Midway.  Given the speed of the financial meltdown and the real risks that it could get even
                       worse because no one knows (because there was no regulation) the size of the
                       "Credit Swaps" time-bomb or how much deceit. non-transparency and obfuscation was fully used
                       in the packaging of mortgages, we should play it safe!   When the DJI fell more than 10.15% below
                       its 21-day ma, it was behaving in a dangerous way, as you can see below.  In addition, the rally
                       back towards the lower 3.5% band has turned out to be a good point for additional selling.

                                   Looking back to 1928, we see the advisability of taking a decline below the
                       10.15% lower band as an automatic Sell S10, except in July or December when
                       the seasonality for a rally is very high.  The only other exceptions I would make are if:
                      (1) the market has been closed for a day or more because of market circumstances (2001) or
                       (2) the DJI is below what it was from a year ago.  (1933) or
                       (3) the DJI falls more than 6% on the day it would otherwise be a Sell S10.

                                   "Normal trading" for the DJI is backing and filling between 4% bands around the
                       21-day ma.  There is another aspect of this new "Sell S10".  Treat rallies for 20 trading days
                       after a Sell S10, as defined above, as new Sell S10s if the DJI tags the 4.0% lower band
                       below the 21-day ma but the DJI does not close more than 3.5% below the 21-day ma.

                                 History of New Sell S10s   Green = profitable Red = loss.
                       13 of the 15 original S10s were profitable, using either a new Peerless Buy or in cases
                       before 1942, a closing above the 21-dma to Buy.
