    Clark's Gate Timing System
    Wednesday 23  September 2009
     

    In the short term, the market is a voting machine.  In the long term, the market is a weighting machine.
    Ben Gramah


    INDEX VIEW

    The market is still a buy.


    More of the same.  More buyers than sellers, although the rally has weakened and is losing its momentum.  There will be no real selling until Ben Bernanke decides he has bought enough TBonds and trusts the market to regulate interest rates again.  That may never be, since Ben seems to be a believer in Alan Greenspan's 'Doctrine of Irrigating Markets'....in perpetuity.

    Remember: debt is sooooo good for you; savings destroy the world


    KEY: M2F ALT = short-term momentum: above 70 = overbought; below 30 = oversold; 'TRADE" = current position using M4 Sum Plus Trade System.  "TREND" = short-term trend DIRECTION: above 0 is positive; below 0 is negative.  "M4 SP+" = issues with at least 2 consecutive days of positive M4 Sum Plus will register a 1.  'M4SP -" = issues with at least 2 consecutive days of negative M4 Sum Plus will register a 1.  M4 Sum Plus is a VERY short-term momentum indicator.  "INT MOM" = M5 Average Sum Plus, which is an intermediate-term momentum indicator: 1 is positive; -1 is negative.  "LTERM MOM" = MA 40 Sum Plus, which is a long-term momentum indicator: +1 is positive; -1 is negative.

    TODAY'S NEW TRADES

    We have A LOT of new long trades today, and a few short trades.  See below.

    We closed two trades for very small profits.  Small profits suggest the rally is losing steam -- rounding into a top.  But the market still has more buyers than sellers.

    We have a couple charts with today's trades.  Look at M5 10 Trades below.  A lot of precious metals issues are giving buy signals.  Remember, the issues with (30) next to their symbols are less positive buy signals in that only their longest trend is positive; their intermediate trend is negative.  Having said that, we really like Coeur D'Alene Silver/Gold Mining (predominantly) silver.  It has gained over 60% is this recent PM run and looks like it's going higher.
