Stock Index Trading, 1/3rd Bearish Position
Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading Jul 13, 2009 - 03:30 AM GMTWhile this last week gave us a hint that the bears are roaming back into town, the bulls are aware of that - and could be closing up the trash can to prevent the bears from satisfying their hunger.
Just how ravenous are the bears going to be (or how upset will they be with the bulls covering up the trash cans)? With one indicator shifting in the favor of the bear, the lid may be loosening on a feast. A feast that could potentially provide the power needed for the bears to pull the prices back down to the $83 level.
Who knows.the feast may just provide enough energy for the bears to pull the price all the way back down to the $66 level (that we saw back in March). The best part of that potential is we can be and will be positioned to profit quite nicely from a downturn.
Add 1/3 Bearish position (see new weighting below).
Current Weighting Suggestion:
1/3 in Bearish Leverage
2/3 in CASH mode
Long Term Investor Buy Signal Alert
Over the past several years, this indicator has predicted several 100-point or more moves in the S&P. There are only 2 to 3 of these signals every year, so they're worth paying attention to. This is an ideal signal for investors to put cash to work following a down move in the market.
A Long Term Investor Buy Signal Alert was issued March 18, 2009.
In 2008 we had two signals; one on October 29, 2008 and one on July 23. The long term investor buy signal that was issued on July 23 ended with S&P up 62 points.
Long Term Investor Crash Warning Indicator

This indicator is not coming into play at this point in time.
