Low volume this week, and a bit of an uptrend surprise

Trading:
 
I continue to not be able to pick up VZ for a trade.

I have still not able to sell my SDS and I’m now questioning my wisdom of adding REW last week,  however I am not ready to give up on any of these at this point, but if the uptrend continues I will have to cut some losses
 
So what did I see in my weekend review?

The 10-yr Treasury yield has switched directions and is now up to  2.03 % this week.

IBD (Investor Business Daily) is now Market in Confirmed Up Trend  

Copernicus Systems is now showing to be long in the market.

Money flows continue upward, slower now. Stock prices now upward after last weeks divergence. 

HHH is still headed down in the rankings so in spite of what was an early entry into REW (the leveraged inverse of technology) it is still interesting.

What will I do?

Wait, wait and wait for now

Currently my "Stocks for a Trade" now consists of:
(All gains or losses shown are the total since purchase)
AAPL  +13.19%,  – .70%, a very nice turn around

ETF’s for a trade are:
GLD –9.26%, +.21
SDS -11.71%, -5.78%
REW -.60%, -3.59%
I hope you have a good week

Still Did Not Buy

Once again I did not buy, and now more unsure than ever of what to do this week 
Trading:

Still not able to pick up VZ for a trade

Still not able to sell my SDS , but it continues to be nice hedge in these uncertain times.
 
So what did I see in my weekend review?

The 10-yr Treasury yield was down to 1.85% this week.

IBD (Investor Business Daily) is still: Market in Correction  

Copernicus Systems is still mixed in my interpretation, but now showing to be short the market .

Money flows continue upward with stock prices now downward…is this a divergence? 

With HHH headed down in the ranking REW is interesting…the leveraged inverse of technology

What will I do?

Glad I did not pick-up the biotech ETF’s BBH or IBB .

Stocks BA, BMY continue to look good as do  CPWR and VRSN but now I feel less inclined than ever to buy and stocks

REW is indeed interesting

 Currently my "Stocks for a Trade" now consists of:
(All gains or losses shown are the total since purchase)
AAPL  +6.939.36%,  – 6.19%,
ETF’s for a trade are:
GLD –9.89%, -.49 %, Ouch, but perhaps time to pick up more with these on sale
I hope you have a good week

I Did Not Buy

Well I just did not buy anything last week, and unsure of what to do to do this week 

Trading:

I was not able to pick up VZ, for a trade…it will require a downturn

And I was not able to sell my SDS , but it is a nice hedge to have in these uncertain times.
 
So what did I see in my weekend review?

The 10-yr Treasury yield is up a tiny amount to 2.05% this week.

IBD (Investor Business Daily) is still: Market in Correction  

Copernicus Systems is still mixed in my interpretation, but continuing to show “buy”.

Money flows are now curving upward.  

What will I do?

I did not pick up more AGG and on Monday I will sell what I have. I am following one of the Copernicus systems on this.

Once again I am considering the biotech ETF BBH or perhaps  IBB .

Stocks BA, BMY still look good this week as well as new findings: CPWR and VRSN.

All of these are rising in the Copernicus rankings. I will look again on Monday at all of these

 Currently my "Stocks for a Trade" now consists of:
(All gains or losses shown are the total since purchase)
AAPL  +9.36%,  – 4.06%,
ETF’s for a trade are:
GLD –1.42%, +8,87 %
AGG +.37%
I hope you have a good week

This has been a year of Flip Flops

Well I am migrating from "bearish" to "cautiously optimistic" as a result of the things I review. 
 

Trading:

I did get my desired 37.5 for VZ, will now be looking for the next drop in its cycle to pick it up again…perhaps 36.5 is a good target

I bought more SDS just in time for the market bounce (this ETF is a leveraged market inverse) and I am really underwater in this trade now. I will just put it away, not look at it too close and wait until the next drop occurs to sell it.
 
So what did I see in my weekend review?

The 10-yr Treasury yield is up modestly to 2.04% this week.

IBD (Investor Business Daily) is still: Market in Correction  

Copernicus Systems is now mixed but showing “buy” in my interpretation.

Money flows have stopped dropping and are now flat.  

I plan to pick up some AGG. I am following one of the Copernicus systems on this .

I may add the biotech ETF BBH and stocks BA, BMY and MRK that are rising in the Copernicus rankings. But I don’t anticipate holding them long in this market…but who can properly anticipate anything in this market

 Currently my "Stocks for a Trade" now consists of:
(All gains or losses shown are the total since purchase)
AAPL  +9.36%,  – 4.06%,
ETF’s for a trade are:
GLD –1.42%, +8,87 %
I hope you have a good week
