Operative Major signal(s)
- Older Sell
S9/S12 and new second minor Buy B14
Peerless gave a second Buy B14 the day of the 1/2%
rate cut. B14s are rare. There
have only been 11 since 1965 and we have now seen two in the last month. Between
1965 and 2006, they averaged
a 12.86% gain if the DJI was held until the next major Sell. There is only one loss
in this
period. And that produced only a 4.6% loss in the 1091-1982 bear market. They
are less
reliable in the period 1942-1966, but were sometime dead-on in their bullishness.
So, though
they are not treated as major Buys, I would, given just the second Buy B14, let the
market
have every chance to move higher. That is made even truer with the Fed rate cut.
Seasonality is bearish for the next two weeks. A retreat from the resistance
levels now reached by the DJI and NASDAQ should start. We saw a new Sell signal
from the NASDAQ today. There 1360 more down than up on the NYSE. Homebuilders,
who might have thought they would be one of the beneficiaries of the 1/2% rate cut
have shifted back to a Red Sell signal and are testing their lows. A new low by this
index would be bearish for the market.

Brokerages correlate closely with the heneral market. Here is my Tiger Index
of 15 of them. It has shifted to a red Sell. This also suggests some weakness
for the next few trading days.

The FED's 1/2% rate cuts has dramatically weakened
the dollar and boosted overseas
stocks Below is the Tiger Index of 53 foreign ETFs. Perhaps, the easy
money has now been made.
Foreign stocks are, very generally speaking, back to the resistance of the old July highs.
Adopt and wait and see attitude. There may still be more upside progress, but
it is
not prudent to buy just below resistance.
The strongest groups, GOLD, CHINA and OIL, are so much stronger than the
rest of the market now, I suggest finding some way to play them, as much as trying to
trade the market as a whole.

GOLD
Only a 1/4% cut was expected from the Fed on Tuesday, but they gave the market
what the bulls wanted, a 1/2% cut.... This is a big boost to gold and gold stocks.
Gold has just made a new all-time high above 725, or 72.5 for GLD. "Let it run
now."
That's our advise.

We have been saying for some time that the XAU would soon be making a
major breakout by surpassing 160. That has now happened. Already it is over
170. Below is the chart of XAU. Its RELDJI is approaching its own
breakout.
The XAU is not yet outperforming GLD on a 12 month basis. But it has been
zooming up faster for the last 2 weeks. I have posted more information on
this
most important breakout on my Blog.

=====================================================================================
CHINA
China, the strongest area of foreign investments, rested today.
It looks like this
is now experiencing a climactic vertical ascent. CHN, mentioned last night, has a
projected target another 10% higher based on its inverted head and shoulders
pattern's size. When we look at the best performing foreign ETFs for the last
65 trading days, a quarter, we see the top five relate to Chinese investments.
GCH Greater China Fund
+41%
JFC Jaredine Fleming China +31%
CHN China Fund
+23%
PGJ PowerShares Goldn Gragon +21%
GRR Asia Tiger Funds.
+20%
Tiger Index of Chinese Stocks

Oil Stocks Are Surging, too.
Crude Oil
has made an all-time high. Its IP1 is very high, above +.50. We associate
that important insider
buying. It sure like $100 is possible. I reckon $84 as the minimum
target based on the height of the
earlier head and shoulders pattern.
There is breaking news of a government sting involving Congressmen
taking
bribes from
oil interests. Let's hold back here. Some of the best looking oil stocks
as Tiger
judges them are: ACGY, STO, TTES and WFT. Waiting for a little pullback
would be
prudent. But in a run like this, wear performance money chases fewer and fewer
high
performance stocks, and pullbacks are usually shallow.
======================================================================================
Market Outlook
It is important to see that The FED can delay a bear market
and it can prolong
a bull market. Our detailed study showed this to
be true in the summer of 1968, the
fall of 1971, 1975, 1976, 1982-1983, 1980, 1984, 1986, December 1990-1991, 1996
and 1998. That is what they have done here. I suspect that they will do
all they
can to delay the inevitable bear market until a Democrat is in the White House in
2009. Look at the evidence I presented before judging this to be too cynical.

Yesterday Peerless gave a second Buy
B14 signal, NYSE Up Volume swamped
down volume. It's true that July's S9/S12 has not been reversed. But the DJI
did fall
10% afterwards and there are a few cases since 1942 where the DJI moves significantly
higher without an immediate major Buy signal. The only case since 1965 was in the
Spring
of 1987. We see this most often when there have not yet been three or more S9 or S12
clusters in the previous 8 months, as is true here. The P-Indicator, V-Indicator and
the
Tiger Accumulation Index are all now positive. The DJI and NASDAQ have reached
points of resistance (See the charts.), but it sure looks the DJI want to get back up to
14,000. The NASDAQ is still below what it was when Bush took office, so it could
move higher, too. The NASDJI Indicator is positive, showing the NASDAQ is
outperforming the DJI. Don't use the short-term Stochastic for a few days at
least.
Let the surprise 1/2% rate cut's bullishness play itself out.

=====================================================================================
US Dollar's Trend Remains Down.
The dependency of the US
Treasury on China and Japan to buy Treasury securities is a key
here. The enormous US trade and budget deficits are
taking away from the Fed, or at least
limiting, the simple option of recharging the economy by
means of buying debt or lowering interest
rates. The reason is that the Dollar might free-fall
if the FED lowers interst rates too much
or too fast... Foreigners may choose not to buy a dwindling
asset that pays an interest rate lower
than its annual rate of decline...See my discussion of the American growing
dependence on
Chinese funding
of the US debt. The Japanese Yen historically moves more independently. It is
on the verge of a breakout to new highs. Do you see
the tell-tale rise in Accumulation a month
ago? The Euro has stopped idling and is starting
another rally, thanks to the probability of another
rate cut. Watch these charts. The Euro
shown below is rising at a +8.6% clip versus the DJI.
9/20/2007
The US Dollar has been falling at a 6.8% rate this past year. By comparion,
the EURO just made a new high
and is rising at an 8.6% clip. It will be even more
difficult for the Treasury to
sell its US bonds to foreigners. They will have to print more
money. Hence the rush
into real resources will continue. That should also help US
real estate, though that has
not yet happened. The Canadian Dollar is now even
stronger than the EURO,
because of the mineral resourves Canada has.

Look at the strength in the Canadian Dollar.

Given
how far up the markets are above big support and how long it has been since there was a
major correction, plus the bearishness of years ending in

FIDELITY SECTOR FUNDS' PERFORMANCE 9/20/2007
Biggest drops on Friday include automotive,
retailing, consumer, electronics and housing.
Clearly there is increasing concern that a recession looks ahead and that
will hurt consumer
spending. Even hopes of a rate cut are not enough to hold the line
here.
