Password is AlphaDow (no caps)
In Chart #1 (AlphaDow), add up the numbers in the boxes. A BULLISH state first occurs when the count reaches 5 out of 5. A BEARISH state occurs when any 3 of the 5 turn negative.

We also offer paint by numbers systems for bitcoin, bonds and gold. An illustrative diversified portfolio of five ETFs is offered below our commentary. As always, consult your own advisor and due your own due diligence. Not investment advice.

The Call For The Week of May 16th:

Stocks stayed mostly on the back foot despite a late rally, as the S&P 500 and TSX each finished lower while bonds enjoyed a rally with the two-year yield sinking to its lowest since April 26. Gold remained under pressure, WTI crude oil rose and the CAD$ held near $0.77. Focus on capital preservation.


Long: SPY=0% TLT=20%, GLD=0% QQQ=0% Cash=80%
