Green Line Weekly Sep 2, 2018

AAPL Chart
Several Darling Stocks “Melted Up” in August. (Apple up 20%)

 

09/02/2018:  Markets were  up for the week, as several major Indices made New Highs. The DOW Index, NYSE Index, and World Index have not made New Highs yet and are all weaker than they were in January.

A few of the Darling favorites “Melted Up” in  August. While the S&P 500 was up 3.03%, AAPL was up 20%. AMZN was up 13% and SQ was up 37% (without any significant news). This is similar to the Internet Bubble “Melt Up” of 1999.

Consumer Confidence is the highest is 18 years, so Investors FEEL as good as they did in the Internet Bubble of 1999.

Normally the over-bought Markets will fade back down to test the January Highs of 2872 to see if that level becomes new Support. 

For the week the Dow was up 0.68%, the S&P 500 was up 0.97%, and the Nasdaq 100 was up 2.29%.   The Long Term Trend on the Stock Markets is UP.

 

The Inflation Index (CRB) was up 0.46% and is Below the Green Line, indicating Economic weakness.

Bonds  were down 1.06% for the week and Closed Above the Green Line, indicating Economic weakness.

The US DOLLAR  was unchanged for the week, and should bounce near the Red Line soon.

Crude Oil was up 1.57% for the week at $69.80, and GOLD was down 0.54% at $1207.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

MONEY WAVE BUYS SOON:   

We are currently in 2 logged Open Positions, for the Short & Medium Term.  There are 4 Investments on the Short Term Watch List. 

Be patient and WAIT for Green Zone Buys!

______________________________________________________________________________________________

LONG TERM TRADES

TWTR    TWITTER, INC.    Wait for weekly Close Above the Red Line of $36.01 (50-day avg.)

QUESTION:  Brian writes ” Is there anyway to make your strategy work in the German markets or the forex game. Like things without sctr values?”

ANSWER:  Yes Brian, the Green Line System works with ALL Investments and Mutual Funds that can be Charted.

If there is no Symbol, you can manually make a Chart like we did before computers existed. Make sure the Investment stays Above the Green Line (250 day ema).

Determining Relative Strength would be trickier. Most Relative Strength systems use computers to compare the Investment to the S&P 5oo index, or to all Investments that are in the database.

    I would hesitate comparing this to 1999, when market sentiment was really crazy, bears had been completely run over, the put/call ratios were at never before seen extremes, media was universally calling for dow 20,000 (when the dow was @10,000.)

    As a comparison, now the equity p/c ratio has been trending up (more put buying) since the june top and reached almost to the point of the april low and has only started turning back down in about the last week or so. All the news feeds I follow were heavily reporting bearish stories, it has only evened out a bit in the last week or so. More upside will be needed to get to the 1999 tlype sentiment.

      Yes Robert, Markets may go higher as the Consumer Confidence is not quite as high as the 1969 and 1999 Tops. What is amazing is that Consumers really FEEL GREAT now based on the Confidence Indicator, even with all of the problems in the world today.

      The idea is to show new readers and investors that based on History, the next Doubles and Triples from Investing probably won’t come from the same Investments that have been going up for 9 1/2 years
      (Longest Bull Market is recent history).

      Entering the Markets when Consumer Confidence is near Lows has resulted in much lower prices, than Buying near the Highs.

      Thank you for writing.
