8/21/2022 Markets were lower for the week on mild profit taking. The Indices had rallied up for 4 straight weeks and were over-bought. Many Indices are back up Above the Green Lines, which is Bullish. But most stocks are currently too far above the Red Lines (50-day avgs.) so the Swing Traders have quit buying for a while.
We like to Buy on FEAR, but after a 17% rally on the S&P 500 Index, the FEAR is mostly gone. We have taken more profits this week (please see below).
If the Elliott Wave count is correct, we could see the Market stall or pull back towards the Red Line (50-day avg.) like it always does. This would be normal profit taking after a huge rally in 2 months.
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.
Completed Trades this week:
BTU PEABODY ENERGY Target was Hit at $24 for a 19.6 % Gain.
LLY ELI LILLY & CO. Target Hit at $320 for a 5 % Gain.
XLP CONSUMERS STAPLES FUND Target was Hit at $76 for a 2.7 % Loss.
XOP OIL & GAS SERVICES FUND Target Hit at $145 for a 13.2 % Gain. (Long Term Portfolio).

QUESTION: Jose M writes “Morning, I seem to have difficulties on finding the Money Wave chart on the ETFs. Thanks.”
ANSWER: First go to MY TRADING DASH BOARD. Then the Charts with the Money Waves can be pulled up by clicking on the Symbol of the Investment on the Watch List or Current Positions links in every Daily email.
The Money Wave is the Red and Green Zone on the bottom part of the Chart. Buy when the Money Wave has gone down into the Green Zone, and then turns up above 20.
