12/30/2018: Markets bounced up this week after being extremely Over-Sold. Normally when the FEAR is so high and Tammy has sold out after Buying High, the media will begin to print positive stories (maybe like gasoline prices below $2, mortgage rates have dropped 3/4 -1%, maybe Earnings better than expected, the FED becoming less Hawkish, a necessary China Trade deal, etc.)
And then in a few months the sentiment and confidence could flip, and eventually the Herd and Tammy would pile back in. Eventually the Markets should bounce back up to at least the Green Line, once they bottom.
For the week the Dow was up 2.75%, the S&P 500 was up 2.93%, and the Nasdaq 100 was up 3.95%. The very Long Term Trend on the Stock Markets is UP, but many Indices made 52-week Lows last week which could signal a Top has been made.
The Inflation Index (CRB) was down 0.68% and is Below the Green Line, indicating Economic Weakness.
Bonds were up 0.27% for the week and are Above the Green Line, indicating Economic Weakness.
The US DOLLAR was down 0.64%, and could be topping as the FED is probably finished Raising Rates for a while (unless they purposely want to create a Slow Down). A falling Dollar could be good for Tech Stocks and Commodities.
Crude Oil was down 0.57% for the week at $45.33, and GOLD was up 2% at $1283.

QUESTION: Steve writes ” What is the deciding factor for you to say “Caution! Way above the Green Line? Thank you.”
ANSWER: Hi Steve, Way Above the Green Line means that if you Buy up there, you will probably have a “Sick Feeling” when the Investment eventually returns to the Green Line.
Good trading, and tell your friends!
