5/11/2025 Markets were mixed to lower for the week, as the Indices are no longer over-sold from FEAR, and many of the Leaders are back up in the daily Red Zones (probably too late to Buy for the short term). So Caution in Buying now, until we see some pullback.
The Buying Volume from the lows has not been above average or impressive and the Indices are still below the 200-day averages (that’s when bad events usually happen).
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: Winter writes ““Don’t take a Loss” confuses me. What does that mean?”
ANSWER: When the Investment has a Money Wave Buy Signal, it should pop up 3-6 % in just a few days.
If it is not popping up well, and the Money Wave > 50, either Get out soon , and Don’t Take a Loss! (Get Out Even).
Something must be Wrong. There will be plenty more Money Wave Signals soon… Raise Cash, and don’t get Stuck! Wait for the next one.
Good trading and tell your friends!
