The Strength chart shows the I fund running neck-n-neck with the S fund for top position now. C fund coming in 3rd, and is doing OK. But the F fund, trending down, is having trouble reading the script written for it by the seasonal systems.

Chart 2 shows the up-trend in Market Pull that started mid December, continuing at about the same rate. A couple of little bumps in the road, but nothing lasting more than a day. However we know this can’t last forever.

On the Strength chart the S fund went from running neck-n-neck with the I fund for top position, to neck-n-neck with the F fund for the bottom position. The C fund got hurt also.
And is the F fund waking-up from it’s reversed hibernation?

Chart 2 shows the up-trend in Market Pull still in tack.

On the Strength chart the I fund is still in top position, even with the small hit on Wed. Second place is the C fund. The S fund (3rd) got some relief. The F fund keeps getting hurt.

Chart 2 shows the Market Pull continuing its up-slope rate.

On the Strength chart, everything took a notch down. The S fund the most, and has now dipped under the F, which puts the S in the lowest position on this chart. I know what you are thinking, “buy low”, right?

Chart 2 shows Pull taking a small step down. Since mid December, there haven’t been two down-days in a row. If we get 2 in a row, it would require me to think hard about my allocation.

Evidently the S fund did not like being under the F fund, so on Friday it bumped up to the No 2 position on the Strength chart. The I fund is still in the top position, but its 3-day average is down. The C fund looks a little flat. And the F fund has been depressed since New Years.

Chart 2 shows Pull returning to its up-slope angle, still no 2 down-days in a row.

How do you think shutdown is going to impact markets?

On the Strength chart, the S fund wants to overtake the I fund for the the top position. And the C fund is not doing too shabby. While the F fund continues to be low man on the Totem Pole.

Chart 2 shows Pull continuing up.

Sorry about the late response Anne.
I think the market pays little attention to that. I know that sounds absurd, but IMHO the market, (by market I mean the large indexes), have a want, or a pull, that may get denied sometimes, but not forever. And it will return to the course it had set out for itself.

Yeah that was surprising. I think I will do a screenshot and save it. Because I doubt if it will last long. Everyone should be aware, the first month or so, the YTD means little. But the good thing is, "15 minutes of fame" around here lasts 24 hours. :roll:
