Before I started this blog, I emailed a link to a video, shown below, giving when is a good time to buy and exit the stock market using an independent indicator. Click on the chart for a detailed look at SPX with 20/50 week moving averages as of today, or click here for latest bigcharts.
The market may rally, but in my "free" opinion, DO NOT BUY into the stock market currently! The US Stock market may be over-sold but the fundamentals have not changed, and we will continue the downward spiral.
The "green light" to get back into the market is when there is "talk" or a law passed to have the USA follow international accounting rules to regain trust in corporations. Until then, throwing money at companies that CANNOT be properly valued will not regain trust, and therefore credit lending will remain impaired.
In any event, I strongly recommend following the indicator explained by "The Ticker Guy" in video below.
