0000 - SHORT TERM Rating Summary Complete as of 23Sep16
0000 - SHORT TERM Rating Summary
========================================= Weekly Summary =============================================
26Aug16 - Many parts of the market once again traded in a very narrow range and are rated Neutral (0).
Many ETFs were rated in the Neutral (0) range because they only dropped in price two or three days,
however a sizable number of ETFs are now rated Turning Down (-2) or Bear (-4).
======================================================================================================
======================================================================================================
======================================================================================================
Note: As a general rule, I personally invest only in ETFs that are (1) 'better than average' (Stock Charts Technical Rank > 70)
and (2) liquid (Average Daily Volume exceeds 300,000).

0006 - S&P 500 ($SPX) 3 Years Weekly- Medium Term: Neutral 23Sep16
0006 Question: What is the Medium Term (Weekly) Trend of the S&P 500 Index?
23Sep16 - Pushed by another positive week, RSI(14) is above 50 (Bullish) but MACD, TSI, and TRIX continue Bearish and Slow Stochastics has not improved. Although the week showed a nice 1.19% gain, further evidence of improvement is needed.
The 'Medium Term' Weekly EMA Trend remains BULLISH (13 Week EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is ABOVE the 34 Week EMA).
16Sep16 - Based on a positive week, RSI(14) ticked up, however MACD, TSI, and TRIX crossed Bearish and Slow Stochastics dropped from Overbought. Although the week showed a gain, the wick of the candlestick shows the week closed (at 2139) well below the peak reading (of 2163).
The 'Medium Term' Weekly EMA Trend remains BULLISH (13 Week EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is ABOVE the 34 Week EMA).
09Sep16 - RSI(14) is falling. MACD, PPO, TSI, and TRIX are falling toward Bearish readings. AROON is also moving lower and may soon become Bearish.
The 'Medium Term' Weekly EMA Trend remains BULLISH (13 Week EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is ABOVE the 34 Week EMA).
Thank you very much for your Support.
0007 - S&P 500 ($SPX) 6 Yrs- Long Term (Monthly): Topping- Neutral 23Sep16
0007 - Question: What is the Long Term (Monthly) Trend of the S&P 500 Index. Thanks for your continued support!
23Sep16 - With three quarters of the month in the books, September is down a mere 0.29%. PMO(35,20,10) is still Bearish and has narrowed but looks very flat. The S&P 500 continues in the trading range it has been in for over a year.
16Sep16 - The August Japanese Candlestick Spinning Top may have marked a change in direction as halfway through the month, September is down 1.46% and has a good chance to close down. That having been said, nothing on this chart looks to me to be particularly alarming. In fact StochRSI is moving horizontally and PMO looks to have bottomed.
09Sep16 - The August Japanese Candlestick Spinning Top seems likely to have marked a change in direction as September is down 1.99% and seems likely to be a fairly negative month.
02Sep16 - September is ahead 0.42%. The tiny loss of August isn't enough to wipe away the higher direction of monthly prices.
31Aug16 - The August gain disappeared as the month finished with a small loss of -0.12%. In addition a sixth straight month of higher prices disappeared as well. The tiny loss of August isn't enough to wipe away the higher direction of monthly prices.
Thanks very much for your continued support!
