Trump vs. Xi

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of the close of Friday Oct 25, 2019
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must


When it comes to negotiating a trade agreement between the US and China, Trump is no match for Xi.  Trump continuously breaks the most important rule of negotiating. He talks (via twitter) too much and undermines his own team at every turn.  Trump  is desperate for anything that he could call "the best deal ever" while Xi could drag the negotiations on for another year or more.  In any negotiation, the desperate side folds and accepts whatever is offered.

Chances are good that "Phase 1" agreement gets signed soon.  That would be a clear signal to financial markets that the US/China trade relationship is on its way back to the status quo that existed prior to the Trump Administration.  That is bullish.


SGS advanced this week, confirming new all-time highs for major indices.


Support and resistance levels for SPX for this are shown above.

My Plan

I'm still long in SPXL.  Indices will grind higher as trade uncertainties are lifted and the Fed's new QE money comes into equity markets.  Dips are buying opportunities.
