We went back into the market at the open yesterday on a core, Navigator buy signal at 3812.50. We got the signal out by text to the Founders Group, but an automation feature hiccupped over the past week on this site. Yesterday, the software link broke down completely – which I finally traced to an update from a Woo Commerce app on the site that created a software conflict. Fun, right? Anyway, we were unable to post the signal here until now.

The market never looked back this morning and already tagged the Weekly Expected Move. There are some concerns with breadth and financial stocks weakening even though Morgan Stanley announced stellar earnings. It is the old “when what should happen doesn’t” theory. I am also cognizant that “buy the election sell the inauguration” resonates with many investors. So we may take profits on this latest core model signal in the morning – we shall see. If you are in cash, my advice is to wait for the next signal. I will keep you advised.

The 2021 Forecast Live Webinar is scheduled for Saturday Morning at 10:00 AM PST. One of the items on the agenda is opening up the Founder’s Group to others who might be interested. The Founders Group consists of a small group who participated in the Navigator algorithms’ creation. They were the loyal “testers” as each version emerged from the lab. They get multiple short and intermediate buy and sell signals in real time by text, and the signals will be expanding in scope, even beyond the indices. They also have access to live trading and mentoring with me.

Once I perfected the algorithms, I wanted to have all the bugs worked out on the communications side before opening up the group. We are almost there, as the alerts are based on a phone app. I will cover all this Saturday morning.

In the meantime, it is nice to be back in the saddle after 10-days in the Peoples Republic of California.
