According to the chart, from October 1 on, if the Incumbent is to win, all is well and the market (i.e. the economy) will rise until year end. Only if the Incumbent is to lose (not get termed out) will October and the rest of 2012 be flat to down. Of course, as we know, there are exceptions.
Last week's prediction of the market letting off the gas (not hitting the brake) held true, with extremes in the overbought area. Things have modulated - the McClellan Oscillator fell to minus 29; the AAII bull/bear ratio is even. The speculative NASD to NYSE Volume ratio is again high, as is the CBOE Equity put/call ratio - both Bullish. Contrarily, the MMFund flows reversed again to INFLOWS and equity mutual funds lost funds.
Next week I shall again (!) be on vacation to San Diego, away from my desktop until the following week. Since I am visiting my cousin who is a V.P. at J. P. Morgan, I want to show him an example of my DITM strategy using his stock. It demonstrates how one can earn 10% with almost NO risk. For details, please see:
