OUT-BREAKING UPDATE 4 (PREMIUM-UNLOCKED)

The following post was originally issued to TLS members on March 3.

 

Discussing “exit strategy” in remaining long positions on the heels of the Fed rate cut.

As you know, the stock market is bouncing back sharply, as we anticipated it would (see our shift to a Bullish Short-Term Outlook in recent days). With that being said, our intermediate-term Risk Model is now in a “Sell” Signal so we are now operating under a “sell the rip” strategy. In light of the rip (now evaporated) following the Fed cut, we thought we’d lay out on paper the prices at which we will look to trim all or some (will make that determination as we proceed) of our remaining positions, as well as index levels for reference (FYI, all these levels were covered in this AM’s DSS so be sure you are watching.):

  • Value Line Geometric (not traded/informational purposes): 502.50 (min), 514 (likely), 527 (best case)
  • S&P 500 (not traded/informational purposes): 3126 (min), 3190 (likely), 3280 (best case)
  • SPY: 312.30 (min), 318.50 (likely), 327.50 (best case)
  • Nasdaq 100 (not traded/informational purposes): 9127 (likely), 9400 (best case)
  • QQQ: 222.50 (likely), 229 (best case)
  • Dow Jones Industrial Average (not traded/informational purposes): 27,200 (min), 27,700 (likely), 28,500 (best case)
  • Russell 2000 (not traded/informational purposes): 1552 (min), 1583 (likely), 1615 (best case)
  • IBB: 120.95 (likely), 123.94 (better case) New Highs very possible
  • XLU: 67.15 (likely), 68.90 (better case) New Highs possible

  • XLK: 95.80 (likely), 98.98 (best case)
  • XSD: 101.60 (likely), 104.44 (best case)
  • IHI: 257.16 (likely), 262.03 (better case)
  • HEDJ: 65.45 (likely), 68.00 (better case)
