MARKETS WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY FOR MLK HOLIDAY.
1/19/2025 Markets were higher for the week, as T-Bonds finally bounced up from being extremely over-sold on Inflation Fears. The major Stock Indices bounced up out of the Green Zones, but are now quickly back up in the Red Zones (probably too late to Buy for the short term).
Bonds might have to go back down once again, and Inverse Bond Fund TBT is back down in the Green Zone for a Swing Trade Buy soon, Then if Bonds can make a W pattern or higher low next week, the Leading Stocks should bounce up and retest the recent highs. Stocks Markets have been adjusting to higher long term Interest Rates (up from 3.9 % to 5.0% since FED Cuts). Try to Buy investments that are still above the 50-day avg. (Red Line).
Bit-Coin also bounced and is now over-bought, and must make higher highs soon for the uptrend to continue. XRP was able to make a higher high.
We Buy the strongest Leaders that make new highs, on pull-backs. So follow the Green Line System and you should continue to win more than you lose. SEE WATCH LIST
With 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. Follow the MONEY, not the MEDIA.

QUESTION: Steve V. writes “Do you do both long and short positions or does someone just invert the rules in a down market?”
ANSWER: Yes, invert the Rules to Sell Short (Below the G L, Below 10 R S, Dropping below 80 on Money Wave).
We will not Short until the Market is in a Bear (below the Green Line).
Once the Market is BEAR, we will mainly do Inverse Funds, as most investors don’t understand Shorting…
Good trading and tell your friends!
