Momentum Analysis for Friday
INDICATOR UPDATE: My 50-Indicator Bull/Bear Spread
improved from -8 mid-day to -6 at the close Friday. It looks like the weakness
is trying to resolve so we can hope for a Santa Claus rally. The improvement is
not very big so I am still waiting for confirmation.

FRIDAY MARKET INTERNALS (NYSE
DATA)
My basket of Market Internals remained SELL. (My basket of Market
Internals is a decent trend-following analysis that is most useful when it
diverges from the Index.)
This is a short-term signal – I’m not making any
changes to my portfolio.
...My current invested
position is about 70% stocks, including stock mutual funds and ETFs. I’m
usually about 50% invested in stocks when markets are stretched. (75% is my max
stock allocation when I am confident that markets will continue higher.)
I trade about 15-20% of the total portfolio using the
momentum-based analysis I provide here. When I see bullish signs, I add a lot more
stocks to the portfolio, usually by using an S&P 500 ETF as I did back in
October 2022 and 2023.
