Market Update July 5 2014
The technical models have SPY (equity market) and AGG (intermediate bonds) at BUY for all periods — short, medium and long term.
It appears that the bonds may be breaking down in the short term. But otherwise the model reflects the overall market trend, which is up.

June 6 2014 – Just like last week. Only longer in the tooth.
All four ETF technicals (SPY for the S&P500, VEU for International, BSV for short term bonds, and TLT for long term bonds) are in the BUY range for all intervals. But there are some cracks developing, and deterioration particularly in the short term aspect of the models. Maybe we’ll sell in June and go away after all…stay tuned.
