It's "Deal"

Why Market Timing Is A Must

Trump privately told donors that it would be "very tough" for GOP to hold the Senate.  If  what the Washington Post reporting is true, then my guess is that GOP and Trump have very likely reached a deal.

SGS Market Timer

As of close of last Friday, the value of SGS remained unchanged at +105.  The status of SGS remains LONG.

Support and resistance levels for SPX for next week are shown above.  

My Plan

There is a good chance that we see a sell-off ahead of the election sometime this week.  My plan is to put 1/2 of my cash to work and buy the following seven stocks:

ZM, ALGN, TSLA, FDX, MELI, GM, and DOCU

Deal Or No Deal

SGS  Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of the close of Friday Oct 9, 2020

Why Market Timing Is A Must

Sometime between now and the presidential election on Nov 3, if  and when it dawns on Trump that he is about to lose to Biden in a historic landslide, Trump would be looking for a deal.  My guess is that he would try to negotiate a deal with Pence and Republican leaders in the Senate, namely McConnell, Graham, and Grassley.  Below are my guesses for a deal or no deal:

Deal:

• Trump continues with his presidential campaign
• Trump rallies supporters to vote for Republican candidates
• Trump resigns shortly after the election
• Pence is sworn in as the POTUS
• Pence issues full pardons for Trump and his family

No Deal:

• Trump threatens to resign sometime before the election
• Trump threatens to tell his base to stay home and not vote
• Trump threatens to upend Coney-Barret appointment to the SC

There is very little or no chance if a deal can reached, in my opinion, simply because Trump would demand that his deal with Pence and Republicans has to be in writing.  But obviously any agreement reached by Trump, Pence, and Republicans can be only verbal, similar to the agreement reached by Nixon, Ford, and Republicans in 1974.

SGS Market Timer

As of close of last Friday, the value of SGS remained unchanged at +235.  The status of SGS remains LONG.

Support and resistance levels for SPX for next week are shown above.  

My Plan

Per my plan, I opened a new long position (another 5%) in GLD.  For now, I'm staying on the sideline with my remaining 70% in cash.

My Plan

Despite SGS being long, for now I'm staying on the sideline with 75% in cash.  I still have long positions  (25% of total capital) in GLD, SLV, and GBTC.  Also thinking about putting more money into GLD.

Mother Of All Chaos Is Likely

SGS  Market Timer Status:  NEUTRAL 
NEUTRAL as of the close of Friday Sep 25, 2020
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must

There is a reasonable chance that Trump's condition deteriorates, he is intubated, and put on a ventilator.  If Trump, while he is conscious and capable, does not issue a "temporary transfer of presidential power to Vice POTUS" notification to the Congress, then the mother of all chaos would breakout until Pence is installed as "the acting POTUS" under 25th Amendment of the US Constitution.  That might take hours to days, during which indices very likely drop significantly.

SGS Market Timer

As of close of last Friday, the value of SGS is +47.  The status of SGS remains NEUTRAL.

Support and resistance levels for SPX for next week are shown above.  

My Plan

Per my plan, I closed my QQQ and SPY long positions early last week.  I still have long positions  (25% of total capital) in GLD, SLV, and GBTC. 

With SGS remaining NEUTRAL, it's best to be defensive and hold a large cash position.
