We had an interesting week in the
market. Although we
stayed fully invested, the smaller caps and leaders
had a fairly tough week, yet the larger caps once again felt little pain. I have to say that this week’s decline shouldn’t
be surprising to anyone that follows the market religiously as we simply moved up
a bit too fast over the past month and some steam needed to be let off.&Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10556107483428811730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508282686428895731.post-23918682535047355382014-06-30T10:00:00.000-06:002014-06-30T10:00:00.657-06:00In this business, if you’re good, you’re right six times out of ten.

Another productive week in the market. In fact, I want
to keep this report short since really not much has changed since last week.
We had two really strong “tests” this week with a negative
reversal on Tuesday, where the market spent the morning in positive territory,
then the rest of the day giving up all the gains and then some. At the
close it looked ominous, but the next dayAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10556107483428811730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508282686428895731.post-54452842799684567532014-06-23T09:55:00.000-06:002014-06-23T09:55:00.484-06:00Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

strategy in this book, you will be out of the market almost 40% of the

The market continues to act well. Although we
technically closed up for the week, I don’t really look at the week as positive
from a performance perspective, but rather positive from a consolidation point
of view. We have sort of a resting period occurring which will lead the
way to better opportunities shortly.

two weeks ago.

Another nasty week in the market with unfortunately no end
in sight. Yesterday and today the three indexes that were holding up the
strongest (Dow Jones 30, S&P500, and the NYSE) all broke down and made new
lows. In fact, what a difference only one week made … last Friday the
S&P 500 made an all-time high intraday, then collapsed 4.3% over the past 5
trading days.

This week was a bit nasty, we saw a traditional fake-out
which caught many investors by surprise. In fact, even the daily
investment newspaper Investors’ Business Daily, which is usually pretty
good at getting a gauge of the market, on Tuesday changed their Market Outlook
from ‘Uptrend Under Pressure’ to ‘Confirmed Uptrend’, only to reverse their
decision today to ‘Market in Correction’.
