Been a while since the previous market update but there hasn't been any updates as such.

 

Current update

 

ST - Sell/ Short

IT/ LT - Buy

 

Pundits are blaring now (as usual) that this is a continuation of a bear market started in Aug 2015. While we have many tools to look at that point of view, we are highlighting one of the gauges in the chart below:

 

 

Market hasn't entered a correction or was never in a bear market (in the last 15 years or so) when GE (General electric Inc.) hit new highs.

 

While we are short on our ST positions, we don't see this as a IT/ LT sell (/short) yet. Atleast the evidence doesn't point to that yet.

 

GLTA!
