8/16/2026 Markets were slightly higher for the week after the Tech Stocks continued back up after a large 10 % downward Correction. The SPY and Small Caps (IWM) were able to make new Highs. The Semiconductor Fund (SMH) should retest the High again, but it now must make higher highs for the strong upward move to continue.
The major Indices made higher highs this week, but the Volume was not high (warning). If the S&P 500 Fund ($SPY) closes below $760, then Selling could come in.
SEE WATCH LIST If you Buy the Leaders coming up out of the Green Zones, you should win more than you lose.
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: Jeff writes “Hello, in trying to understand your DONT TAKE A LOSS comments, why don’t you raise the stop loss when the stock is up so much? I am not capturing a lot of upside as I get out conservatively (I stopped myself out at 20% on this trade). Is the point to let them run with a large stop loss to capture maximum upside?
ANSWER: Hi Jeff. When the Money Wave > 50, then the Stop is raised to the Buy Price. (Don’t Take a Loss!). The stock should have already bounced up 3-6 %, If not, EXIT and Wait for the next one (Fold like in poker, when you are dealt a bad hand).
Or you can hold on for more as long as the Reward / Risk ratio of 2:1 applies.
Thanks for writing.
