CURRENT SIGNAL TRENDS: This past month has been interesting! With Greece, Gulf oil spills and Goldman-Sachs pulling things down but corporate earnings and jobs pulling things up it's anyone's guess. The last few days haven't been encouraging. Our subscribers will be the first to know when it's time to get out or get in.
NEWS: Well, this opening week is a bit depressing! Europe is imploding and sucking much of the World with it. Add to that news the executives of many of the failed financial companies don't think they did anything wrong while blaming their demise on a conspiracy theory and you end up with a very interesting vote of no confidence. Just in case there might have been a bright side somewhere we have the oil spill in the Gulf to further quench any optimism. It's weeks like this that emotion must not rule your investment strategy otherwise you might simply dig a hole and put what little cash you had left in it. So, here's a graph to cheer you up.
LONG TERM MARKET TRENDS: Just don't look closely at the last week. Good news is that since March of 2009 things have been generally looking up. If it changes we'll let you know.
