| Have you ever noticed that on some “good news” days the market goes down and on other “Bad News” days the market goes up? | |||
| There are cycles and momentums in the market, and even though news can affect the direction of the market short term; it seldom changes the direction long term. | |||
| The charts below show the Government’s S&P 500 Fund (C fund), and the Bond Fund (F fund), and how each affects the other’s movements, cycles and momentum. | |||
| These "waves" as we call them can help you decide when to be invested in stocks or when to have your money in safer capital retention treasury funds. | |||
| Stock & Bond Spread | |||
| This is the most important chart to watch, this chart allows you to see the waves in market momentum. | |||
| This chart shows the daily spread between the government’s Stock and Bond funds. | |||
| When the spread between these funds gets larger there is pressure for stocks to fall. When the spread reduces then stocks become a greater bargain. | |||
| The simplest rule is that green means we are in a buy long trend. Red means we are in an overvalued or declining stock trend. | |||
| Moving Average | |||
| This system uses a seven day moving average that signal change in direction. | |||
| At the end of an UP trend, the first day that clearly breaks below the moving average is a sell signal. | |||
| At the end of a DOWN trend, the first day that clearly breaks above the moving average is a buy signal. | |||
| Trends and Indicators | |||
| There are a few trends that we have noticed that may help you decide when to get on and off the waves. | |||
| The change in direction indicators, or buy and sell signals, are only that…signals. | |||
| The 2 or 3 days after a signal are often very volatile, with “bounce backs” and “rebounds." | |||
| Overvalued to Undervalued Ranges | |||
| This chart also shows when the entire spread is anywhere from “extremely undervalued” to “extremely overvalued.” | |||
| The headings for these ranges are found on the far left end of each graph. | |||
| The normal trading range is between “very undervalued” to “very overvalued.” | |||
| Bond Fund (F) | |||
| This reflects the Government’s Bond Fund (F-fund), which tracks the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Fund. | |||
| This chart is set up to show either a 60 day moving average (if next long term move is sell) or 80 day moving average (if next long term move is buy) | |||
| These averages have historically given the best indicators of when to be in stocks (on up trend), or be in cash (on down trends). | |||
| Stocks and bonds are inversely related, and are hedged against each other. Rising interest rates will cause fewer businesses to borrow and expand. | |||
| When the economy is "down," people buy low-interest, risk-averse bonds. When the market seems safe, people tend to buy risky, but higher-paying, stocks. | |||
| Stock Fund (C) | |||
| This reflects the Governments Stock Fund (C-fund), which tracks the S&P 500. | |||
| This chart is colored in Green and Red to show the exact results if you had followed every Buy and Sell signal from the “Stock and Bond Spread” chart. | |||
