Monthly Updates

For the last 18 months, I’ve volunteered with an organization called Homes for Our Troops, which builds specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans. I’d like to relate a story about the veteran that I’m working with since it may be helpful to some of our TABR clients. The soldier lost both of his legs […]

CONCLUSION—Market Climate is Worsening During the first quarter of this year, the average equity exposure in our tactical accounts was 70%, reflecting a moderately bullish outlook.  That has changed significantly in the past four weeks, starting with a SELL signal from one of our longer term models below.  Two other intermediate models for the stock […]

We’re changing our look, with a new logo, tagline and website, to better reflect who we are, what we do for clients, and how we do it. Providing clients with information and education has always been part of our mission, and now that process is presented in a crisper, cleaner and more up-to-date format, which […]

This quarter, we’d like to focus a bit on the growing incidents of cyber fraud, and some of the steps you can take to minimize problems in this area. Also featured is an updated chart on the Median Price/Earnings Ratio of the S&P 500, along with a reminder about market predictions. Finally, there’s the usual […]

CONCLUSION—Still Bullish, But Some Divergences Growing Let’s keep it simple.  Several stock indexes, including the S&P 500, S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index and the NY Composite, have made new all-time highs in the past few days.  This has been confirmed by various Advance/Decline lines, as shown in the chart below, courtesy of www.stockcharts.com. As noted previously, […]

Conclusion – Range Bound Until Broken The characteristics we’ve written about the past two months for the U.S. stock market remain in place—a bull market until proven otherwise, with a fairly narrow range, and the NY Advance/Decline Line making another new high as recently as April 15. Trading during the past two months has been […]

CONCLUSION—The Same as Last Month Not much has changed since our mid-month update in February—a mostly bullish stock market environment, until proven otherwise.  We have been in a trading range since mid-November, with an upward bias.  The S&P 500 dropped -3.54% from February 24 to March 11, but has recovered almost all of that in […]

CONCLUSION—Trading Range, But Mostly Bullish Until Proven Otherwise Most stock indexes were down about -3% in January, and this brought out the chorus of “as January goes, so goes the rest of the year.”  But that calendar anomaly has not worked in recent years, and here we are, two weeks into Febuary, and the losses […]

CONCLUSION—Expect More Up and Down Volatility In the 5 trading days ending January 6, the S&P 500 Index dropped nearly -4% and in the process, wiped out the entire gains from the normally favorable seasonal periods in November and December.  In actuality, December was a down month for that index, but other indexes did rise.
