Performance

Market Stance: BEARISH (since November 6, 2008) It was another huge down week for stocks, as the staggering market collapse continues apace. The S&P 500 gave back 8.3%. It was also another week of dramatically reduced risk for Deen Capital clients, who gave back 1.0%. The market has given back 11 years' worth of gain. Deen Capital clients are still showing a small gain over the past 24 months. The S&P closed at 752.44 on Thursday. That's an 11-year low, and 52% below the all-time high of 1565.15 set just 13 months ago (Oct 9 2007). The S&P has not lost half its value in a bear market since 1937. When the market turns, as it inevitably will, I will be quick to shift my focus from minimizing losses to maximizing gains. But my indicators are telling me this is not the time. It is still too risky out there. My Three Primary Technical Indicators:
Prior week Now
---------- -------
NASDAQ Timing Model (Ver.10q): BEARISH BEARISH (1)
Last signal: BEARISH on Sep 4, 2008
Performance of Recent Stock Picks: -2.9 BEARISH -5.3 BEARISH (2)
Market Internals: 15% NEUTRAL 6% BEARISH (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Market's Overall Technical Rating: BEARISH BEARISH
Stocks:Cash ratio (average): 26:74 10:90
(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 recent stock picks (I actually buy only some of these). A positive number means my recent 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, Saturday, November 22, 2008 Model Portfolio
