8/22/2021 Markets were slightly lower for the week, as many Stocks have really dropped on Virus slowdown Fears. But the S&P 500 & DOW 30 Indices have held up very as the Money has rolled into the very largest capitalized Stocks. Crude Oil dumped 9% this week.
The Markets still don’t seem to care much about anything negative like Inflation or the Virus until the FED slows down on Printing. Most do not expect to the FED to begin tapering until their September meeting, at the earliest.
There are quite a few strong Stocks below that have corrected down to the Green Lines (Long Term Scrolling Charts). If these don’t bounce up soon, it would indicate a very tired Market. Market internals have been weakening (breadth, Volume, New Highs, etc.) which are normally warning signs of a Market pull-back. So the question is which month will the Markets return to their Green Lines?
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. No predicting here, just Following the Money.

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 pops up so much? I am not capturing a lot of upside, as I wait and get out conservatively. Is the point to let them run with a large stop loss to capture maximum upside?
ANSWER: Hi Jeff. When a Stock is really running, having a Stop below the Pink Line usually works well. But sometimes they “Gap Up” way above all averages. There is no correct answer, except that we know that the Investment will eventually return to all of the averages. Try to judge if the Market is very Strong or not…
In the current Market, we are capturing smaller Gains… Holding on for more could be determined by calculating the Reward / Risk ratio of 2:1. (Can it go up $4 more with downside of only $2?) Also some members want to see more longer term results by strictly following the Rules.
When the Money Wave > 50, then the Stop is raised to the Buy Price. (Don’t Take a Loss!). Probability says to “Get Out Even” and wait for the next trade.
Thanks for writing.
