Still Bullish

The S&P 500 was up nearly 1% to 1240; VIX(S&P) pulled back 9% on Thursday.

We bounced from the bottom trend line and that’s a good too.  Had we broken down convincingly, things could have gotten bad in a hurry.  As it turned out, the market looks OK;  not great, but OK.

If the VIX can pull back some, I’ll be a lot more optimistic. 

The Navigate the Stock Market analysis is HOLD today.   

I bought back into the stock market at S&P 500, 1155 on 7 Oct after the 6 Oct NTSM buy signal.  I remain 100% long in the long term portfolio (100% stocks in the 401k.). (See the page “How to Use the NTSM System” – the link is on the right side of this page). 

I am 75% long in the trading portfolio.

Just a reminder: 100% invested in stocks is way too much for most rational folks.   Don’t do it unless you have a high tolerance for risk.  Bad news in Europe could send the markets down in a hurry.
