HAPPY EASTER!
4/17/2022 Markets were lower again for the week as longer term Interest Rates continued higher. Now Long Term Treasury Bonds are down 28% from the 2020 High as the Herd worries about the FED raising short term Interest Rates. T-Bonds are 14 % Below the Green Line on emotional FEAR Selling by Tammy, but higher long term Interest Rates will normally cause a slow down, and rates will eventually fall.
Currently the tangible Commodities are Way Above the Green Lines, and Bonds are Way Below the Green Lines. Both will eventually return to the Green Lines, so maybe we will see a Stock Market rally when Interest Rates and Inflation fall.
If you continue to Follow the Green Line System, your Money should flow into the Strongest areas and your account value should be able to grow in both Bull and Bear Markets.
Still slower action this week on the Day Trading Scrolling Charts.

QUESTION: Jim S. writes “Why do you use the 250 vs 200 or any other moving average? And, in a bear market, are you concerned that your Money Wave (slow sto line) might get stuck in the Green Zone for an extended period or give false breakout buy signals?
ANSWER: Hi Jim. The 250-day average (Green Line) has been back tested and has fewer “false Sell Signals” than the 200-day. The question should be: Why do most investors use the inferior 200-day average?
In the next Bear Market, we should be in Inverse Funds (like SH) which we were in the 2008 Bear (with good success)… In a Bear Market, most investments will be Below the Green Lines. The Green Line Rules do not allow us to own weaker investments Below the G L.
But historically there will always be investments Above the Green Lines, and we should have them for you.
Good trading and tell your friends!
