Monday, August 31, 2020 Investors continue to push the market higher in response to a modest decline in U.S. coronavirus cases, authorization for plasma treatment, the prospect of rapid Covid-19 testing, and the Fed's promise to keep rates low. Wishes and hopes seem to be offsetting concerns over a reduction in the flow of stimulus and the lack of any vaccine rollout. The question remains: How severe does the impact of the pandemic have to be to destroy optimism, impair future earnings, trigger another correction, and renew the recession? Our LevBands strategy sold UPRO recently due to its price falling to its stop price (CYA) and will buy UPRO when it drops below its lower band and then rises back to that lower band (buy low). (TimerTrac shows an annualized return of +18.56% for the LevBands strategy since tracking began on 4/27/16). TQQQTrends remains in TQQQ (TimerTrac shows an annualized return of +28.53% since tracking began on 11/24/18). LevIndex is invested 25% in UPRO and 75% in EURL (performance data will be referenced 15 days after one year of tracking on TimerTrac which began 9/16/19). Leveraged FANG (FNGUTrends) is in FNGU (performance data will be referenced 15 days after one year of tracking on TimerTrac which began 4/7/20). Performance data and charts for each of these strategies along with the index of your choice (for comparison) can be obtained on the Graphs page of the TimerTrac site. |

Sunday, August 30, 2020 On short to medium-term trend-following the market remains bullish with the All Ords red 10-day trendline still hovering above its green 30-day trendline. But its brown MACD momentum oscillator has gone marginally negative. On medium to long-term trend analysis the share market is still bearish but only a whisker away from going bullish. Its green Coppock momentum indicator is still negative and falling. Both globally and locally, gold bullion is still in front of other sectors based on nine-month relative price momentum. Only IVV (USA market) is showing any positive momentum over that time frame. All other sectors (globally non-US developed markets and emerging markets and domestically resources, finance, and commercial property) are still in the doldrums (i.e. exhibiting negative price momentum). |
