2018 Strength and Market Pull

[Tomanyiron]

Yes I see that, thanks Anne. And congratulations to rogdlr # 6. The 100% C was the right choice (in the short-term). Long-term, and IFT limitations-wise, we will have to see what Mr. Perfect has to say about it.

Chart 1: Each day adds more evidence that the stock selloff ended on Feb 8.

Chart 2: Market Pull continues to climb.

I wonder how many trading days the F fund follows the stock funds up or down?

Is the F fund more contrary now than a decade ago? Because the interest rate is so low?

Does it really matter what the F fund does, if you don't use it?

Must be time for another beer.

As far as the F fund goes, "The future ain't what it used to be ".

Yet over 40% of the IFT's entered today include a move into F fund...tis the season I guess.

I went through the list a little, and I see a lot of red. Just sayin'

Lots of seasonal players and 2018 has not started off well for most of the seasonal strategies. Not sure why so many would be moving otherwise on a relatively non-descript Friday where the markets seem pretty calm. Lots of familiar names in the list too. I'd feel better if the low had been tested twice in the last pull back. Can't help but feel like there's "unfinished business" in the markets in regards to another drop and the inverse head and shoulders has an under-formed 2nd shoulder. I'm still parked in stocks though so we'll see how it plays out.

Including me but I went to G. F is nasty right now. I hate selling for a loss but I am following seasonal this year. If we retest the low I am gonna pull off one of your moves I hope.

[XAMOTOMAX]

I think the seasonal move will hit pretty well this week (G > F to me as well). I would not be surprised to see a pretty large pullback over the next few days.

I'm following 20241 but I was going to skip the IFT to F tomorrow since I'd be selling at a loss. After seeing how the Dow closed today, I decided to bite the bullet and do the IFT with one tweak. I'm going to G instead of F. I compared both options and they don't seem to be significant differences but I feel most comfortable with G right now.

[sonofnthng]

I was supposed to move to F on friday. Considering it's only for a week's time, and then to G for a bit, I'm gonna pass. It has not been doing well, and I'll roll the dice on some more S recovery for now. But, I gotta keep a close on on you Tomanyiron. ... That gut factor seems strong

Chart 1: Looks like an arch in Strength?

Chart 2: I was expecting a down-day for Pull, but the numbers turned-out to be not that pessimistic. And we add the 8th day in a row, of upward Pull.

Chart 1: S fund Strength sure looks like a rollover.

Chart 2: Pull was up still, but it’s got that rollover look also. See what today brings.
