1/26/2025 Markets were higher again for the week, as the S&P 500 Index quickly returned back up to the recent Highs. The S&P 500 needs to push thru this high for the rally to continue. The major Stock Indices are now back up in the Red Zones (probably too late to Buy for the short term), so we harvested some nice Gains on a few stocks below. We sold or Stopped out of 14 Swing Trades this week.
The S&P 500 Index is back on highs, but only 52 % of the 500 Stocks are above the 50-day average, This is a Bearish sign, and could be a Warning to the Bulls.
Bonds might have to go back down once again, so we bought Inverse Bond Fund TBT on a Swing Trade Buy Signal. Then if Bonds can make a W pattern or higher low next week, the Leading Stocks could go higher. Stocks Markets have been adjusting to higher long term Interest Rates (up from 3.9 % to 5.0% since FED Cuts).
Bit-Coin also bounced and is now over-bought, and must make higher highs soon for the uptrend to continue.
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, then EXIT and Get Out, or Don’t Take a Loss!
Something must be Wrong. There will be plenty more Swing Buys… Raise Cash, and don’t get Stuck! Wait for the next one.
Good trading and tell your friends!
