We now think we may have called the bottom of a Bear Market Rally, and not the Bottom of the Bear Market….unfortunately.
In our Sept. 19, Market Letter, we advised our subscribers that we had “sold all positions” on Friday, and that Key Market Support Levels weren’t holding and that we would be selling all positions and moving to the sidelines if the DOW closed below 30,500 …which it did Sept. 21.
We showed the TERRIFYING CHART of FedEx (FDX) 153.25 that dropped 45 points on Friday when it came out with disappointing numbers and a gloomy forecast for the economy. And we gave a long list of Quality, High PE, High Priced stocks including:
Dollar General (DG) 243.79
Costco (COST) 514.14
Insulet Corp (PODD) 255.00
Live Nation Entertainment (LYV) 87.08
that we said that we would be SELLING because they are also vulnerable to large declines if they, too, didn’t make their numbers.
As you can see from their charts, they have also begun to decline. “Extreme Caution” and “Preservation Of Assets” should be one’s prime focus in this dangerous market.
