Year-To-Date Performance

For information on managed accounts, see www.deencapital.com/mgdaccts.htm. Market Stance: BEARISH (since December 18, 2006)Clients of Deen Capital have good reason to be merry, as managed accounts have performed exceptionally well this year, handily outpacing the market averages. My indicators are now unanimously bearish, and I have moved assets under management from roughly 63% invested in stocks to roughly 38%. In other words, we are now mostly in cash. I am suspicious of my bearish indicators, however. Volume is light, and will almost certainly remain light throughout next week, as many market participants are on vacation. The market's behavior under such conditions says next to nothing about its likely behavior come January. There's at least a reasonable chance that the bull market has merely paused -- the pause that refreshes -- and will resume next month. Permit me to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes for a safe, healthy and joyous holiday season. My Three Primary Technical Indicators:
Prior week Now
---------- -------
NASDAQ Timing Model (Ver.10q): BEARISH BEARISH (1)
Last signal: BEARISH on Nov 27, 2006
Performance of Recent Stock Picks: +5.5 NEUTRAL -0.6 BEARISH (2)
Market Internals: 71% BEARISH 58% BEARISH (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall Rating: BEARISH BEARISH
Stocks:Cash ratio (Ken's IRA): 63:37 38:62
(1) A proprietary computer model based on technical analysis of the NASDAQ Composite. (2) This number (from -10 to +10) is based on the performance of ALL my stock picks (I actually buy only some of these). A positive number means my stock picks are generally rising; a negative number means they are generally falling. Even so, I consider a reading below +3.1 to be bearish. I require a reading of +5.6 or better to call this indicator bullish. (3) This is the percentage of stocks ($8 and up) which are trading above their 50-day moving average. The rating of this percentage (bullish, bearish or neutral) is based on which way it's been moving recently -- up, down or sideways. -KD, December 22, 2006
