The speed of the markets moves are continuing - step a side

Until the volatility drops and the market stops the big one day moves I am going to sit on the side lines.  The exception is to enter short term option trades.

The signal is now down and I am in $$CASH.

SPX rallys to 1200 and triggers a buy signal

For now The Trend Advantage is on a buy signal.  After last week my confidence level is low and there for I expect more down side.  Let's see what the mechanical trading systems says in the coming days.  I am long SSO.

Example on how to use the trend is at end of day 7/27 we had a sell signal.  Just before the close you could have bought 100 shares of BGZ at 35.36.  With a buy signal today at just before the close you would have sold BGZ at 41.45 for a +17% gain.  Very Nice !  Also you could have bought 100 shares of BGU today at 58.75.  Lets see how this one works out too.
