Trader, investor and researcher Peter Brandt is also seeing a Head & Shoulders pattern in the NYSE and the Russell 2000.  We said the same thing a few days ago.

These H&S tops are mini versions of the same patterns completed last August — and they could result in similar outcomes

The major bull market in the tech-weighted Nasdaq has disguised sluggishness in the broad indexes.

The charts of the Russell 2000 and the NYSE Composite Indexes have two things in common.

The song was originally written and performed by American singer Eddie Cochran in 1958 but it was covered by other artists including The Who. I think The Beach Boys also covered the song as well.

The chart is IWM or the iShares ETF version of the Russell 200.   We mentioned the old Wall Street saw of “sell in May and go away.”  Someone mentioned today that the IWM had a head and shoulders pattern which is bearish. The shoulders are lower and the head in the middle is slightly higher.

This is an old Wall Street saying that investors may want to consider selling in May and coming back in the Fall.  We have no opinion and this is not advice, advisory or a recommendation.  There are a few things to consider and analyze. Members using Power Investor can go back to about 2001 on SPY which is the ETF representing the S&P 500 Index.   In 2011, the market started to pause in May, rallied back towards July then it came down.   May 2010 it came down and started to rally into October.  2009 was the start of the bounce of the crash and the market paused at the start of May then rallied towards the end of July and the rest of the year.

There wasa  slight delay but it was posted today.  We are working on something in the database to make improvements to EWS.  The calculations for the EWS Mutual Funds takes a long time.

Power Investor 64 Update

We appreciate members being so patient.   The original PI took quite a while to finish but Jeff created a masterpiece. The new PI 64 will be downloaded from the web site.  We are expecting to have version 1.0 ready possibly late next week.   The first version will have charts and charting plus all the indicators.

We will be posting the EWS Mutual Fund updates in the morning because they take longer to run.   We posted the EWS ETF switches.  We did some quick calculations and this is how they have done versus the S&P 500 assuming a sale at the close today.   The sales would actually happen tomorrow.  The return would be from January 3, 2012 to March 1, 2012.

Model                                         YTD Return (%)

EWS Mutual Funds                    +11.1%

EWS ETF                                     +8.7%

S&P 500 Index                           +7.8%

Seabridge Gold had a Triple Test signal early in 2012.  Look for enhanced TT tools for Gold and Platinum members.  Our goal is to try to help members achieve way above average returns to offset for the new tax rate for dividends that will be around 46% for some citizens and to offset the devaluation/destruction of the U.S. dollar.

Triple Test is powered by our PI, PI 64, PT and PTP 64 stock analysis software, investment software, stock software and trading software as well as our internal software programs.

We have a Gold Model 1 update at the www.gold-ews.com web site.  This site is for Investors Alliance Gold and Platinum members.

Making Money Off Of Old No Growth Big Companies Like Microsoft

We often read things on sites like Seeking Alpha and others where people write blogs or analysis on larger, slow growing companies.  We hear the same stuff from brokers on the radio talking about how ABC company is a great company.   Well ABC big company has done nothing in 10 + years so why is it so great?  Well these big companies can be good for buying when they are technically cheap and selling when they rally.  The goal is to snag 10% or so on each trade and do it 3 to 4 times per year.

We mentioned to Gold Members that we would be launching Gold Model 2 and the Genetic Modeling system for Gold and Platinum members.    Gold Members to use both tools in 2012 and possibly beyond 2012.

Genetic Modeling or GM is powerful but it has been a bit labor intensive.  We wanted to automate the process more.  What GM does is looks for the technically best entry points for about 2,500 stocks and ETFs.  We limited the list for know to look at only the best stocks and ETFs.  We still like the Gold Models and EWS but the Genectic Modeling is for more active swing traders looking for shorting holding periods of a month or less.  The system was developed using our Power Investor stock analysis software and our Power Tech Pro 64 trading software.

The new program was on target for release at the end of February.   The program has been delayed due to powers beyond our control.  We are working to resolve this issue.  The program will have new and improved features including candlestick charts.  Real time data is also planned for a later release.  The original Power Investor will continue to be available as well.

Since 2007, individual investors have taken $450 billion out of domestic equities.  According to institutional data vendor, Trim Tabs of Santa Rosa, CA, the amount was over $100 billion in 2011.  Trim Tabs said a lot of that money was actually going into savings and checking accounts!  This is really sad because the dollar is losing at least 7% a year due to inflation/devaluation.  People living on fixed incomes are getting crushed by high inflation and low interest rates.  It is estimated that $850 billion has gone into bonds and bond funds since 2007.
