                       3/2/2017     Peerless Remains on a Buy.  Leading ETFS will most likely
                       fall back only to their rising 21-day ma.  Once the natural urge to take
                       profits is over, I would think aggressive buyers will again come into the
                       market.  The key ETFs have not yet broken their steep uptrends.  There
                       are no signs of Distribution and no head/shoulders patterns.   Lagging
                       Hourly Up volume probably means a period of positive consolidation. 
                       While short-term traders are being invited to take profits, sharp sell-offs are
                       commonly quite brief in bull markets.

                       I would just hold long position in DIA, SPY, QQQ, FAS and TECL.

Republicans in Congress and the Trump Administration will now be placing
                       a high priority on TAX CUTS as a way to spur the stock market onward
                       and upward.  But they will have to go beyond this and move on Public
                       Works.  (A Domestic Marshall Plan could be justified.)  Otherwise, there
                       will be a stock subsidence while the market waits to see if the FED is
                       going to boost rates.

                    
 My guess is that we will keep getting a steady stream of bullish news
                      from Congress and the Administration.  Republicans in Congress fully
                      appreciate that a big, brash bull market has much more public appeal than
                      worrying about the big, bad Russian bear,  as orthodox Democrats,
                      CNN and the New  York Times are now wont to do, to the point of it being an
                      obsession. 

                       By itself, tax cuts will certainly boost the stock market.  But that may not
                       translate into a lasting economic boom based on a surge of consumer buying.
                       In the 1920s, the Republican Bull Market was heavily dependent on
                       breakthroughs in consumer goods (autos, radios, home appliances,
                       movies and airplanes) and in new ways for ordinary  folks to finance
                       the purchase of these things.  There is not much like this now.  So, without a huge
                       Public Works program, the danger is that the stock market will eventually
                       again far outpace the Real Economy, as it did finally in 1929.  But we are
                       not even close to that point now. 

                      
Again look at the DJI chart of 1929.  Our A/D Line now is rising.
                       In 1929, the NYSE A/D Line was falling, showing that more and more companies
                       were suffering sales' and profits' declines.  Our Accumulation Index is
                       very blue (positive) now.  In 1929, our Accumulation Index turned a red for
                       months before the DJI topped out.  Insiders had become heavy sellers.

                        3/1/2017     Peerless Buys vindicated and how.   WOW
|
                        The Trump Rally continues!  Look at our favorite big ETFs soar.
                        Of course, we have had lots of reason to be bullish.  I gave a long list last night.
                               See www.tigersoft.com/HHLL217/INDEX.html

                        But what made the biggest difference in keeping us bullish in last few day
                        was the way the key ETFs Closing Powers were rising steeply exactly when 
                        Opening Power was sagging.  Once again Professionals "trumped" the Public. 
                        And today, more of the same: even with higher openings, prices kept
                        rising.  Now in all-time high territory no one knows wheaten to sell.

                                      Doing Nothing Is Sometimes Very Difficult.

                        The great trader from the 1920s, Jesse Livermore, said the hardest things
                        to learn were buy on strength and, above all, then be patient and let one's
                        shares appreciate. 
 
                        This seems like the second half of the 1920s!  Follow Livermore's advise,
                        but watch the Professionals using our Closing Power.  As long as it is rising,
                        unexpected dangers are not a problem.

                              The hotline is abbreviated tonight and tomorrow.  My main computer failed.
                               Workmen's pounding on the roof after the heavy recent rains was too much
                               for it.  The vibrations did it in, I'm afraid.  And tomorrow and Thursday they
                               will be doing more loud pounding, so we will have to wake up early and
                               get out of here.  The MAXCPs and MINCPs and the Sector Ranking will
                               resume this weekend.  Thanks for patience.  That's the word of the day!
                                  

========================= ========================================================
=================================================================================
                         1-20-2017     Now Trump Must Produce.   The partisan
                         enthusiasm has peaked with the Inauguration.
                         Last Friday's high may prove to be the "tipping point".

                        
The market is becalmed and seemingly stalemated.
                         This will likely prove to be misleading.  Much
                         more volatility should soon return.  The direction it
                         takes will depend on whether the DJI  breaks out or
                         breaks down.  We should not have to wait much longer. 




                        
The Buy B4 urges us not to sell yet, but Professionals
                          remain net sellers. 

                        
The rally Friday up  from the 19700 support was certainly better than a breakdown.
                                      However,   this reversal also adds technical importance to that support level.  So, the DJI must
                                      not breakdown below 19670.  That would have to be judged an S10.  A decline to the lower 3.5% band
                                     and the rising 65-dma should then quickly follow.  Whether we get a new Buy signal there
                                     will depend on the P-Indicator's level at this point.  Right now, that indicator is positive. 


                              Trump Must Be Watched.

                       
If the 10% DJI jump owes mostly to strictly partisan
                                     buying, then the rally should be nearly over now that
                                     the event long awaited by partisans has come true, namely
                                     that the Inauguration has taken place.  But to the extent,
                                     that the buying has been done by non-Trump supporters
                                     who look forward to big tax cuts and de-Regulation,
                                     then the rally has a lot further to go, assuming Trump
                                     himself does not get distracted or get in his own way by
                                     tilting at wind-mills that do not really matter in his carrying
                                     through on his promises.  Examples of this would be critiquing
                                     actors and actresses like Alec Baldwin or Merrill Streep
                                     and attacking the mainstream media, CNN or New York Times.
                                    

                                    
Wall Street is still not sure about Trump.  Hence the DJI's
                                     is stalemated in its narrow price range, 16675 - 20060.  Until it
                                     breaks one way or another, we can't be sure, either.  The OBV-Pct
                                     Buy B4 argues for higher prices.  So does the rising NYSE A/D line
                                     Hourly DISI-OBV Line.  But our other main indicators are not
                                     so bullish.  Our Closing Powers and Tiger Trading Tools for DIA
                                     and SPY are falling.  Our Tiger IPA Indicator on the DJI is still neutral. 
                                     Our Accumulation Index is still falling. 





                                     History suggests that we will soon know which way the market will
                                     go.   Narrow trading ranges that last much more than 5 weeks seem
                                     to all breakdown.  The DJI's present narrow trading range has lasted
                                     exactly five weeks.

                                     Our Tiger Stocks' Hotline on the ESPage is 3:1 bullish.  In other words
                                     there are about 3x more long positions and short ones.  Such a ratio
                                     seems about right for now. 

                                                         


                                    
But one way to deal with the market when it is locked into such a narrow
                                     trading range is to look for Bullish and Bearish special situations among
                                     our MAXCPs and MINCPs.  Thursday night I suggested buying the best
                                     of the Biotech MAXCPs and shorting the worst among the MINCPs.   But
                                     be careful, Biotech ETFs like
BBH and IBB  have been lagging in this rally
                                     and they show weak Closing Powers.

 



                                                             

                                     I think we can do this with oil and gas stocks, too.  This is an industry group that
                                     often keeps rallying for a while after the DJI tops out.  That was true for
                                     the first six months of 2008.  It is also true that oil/gas stocks can fall while
                                     the DJI rises.  This was true from August 2014 to December 2015. 

                                     The Tiger Power Ranker's  most Bullish Oil/Gas stocks now are:
                                                               REN   SGU   CWEI    GIFI and PHX  
                                                               Take a look also at low-priced and low volume LLEX.
                                     Its most bearish stocks and ETFS are:
                                                               TDW, SWN, MTP, CVE and OIL

============================================================================================

                      1-19-2017      A new era starts tomorrow.  How Wall Street greets the new President
                                                        will be important.  But how Trump greets the immense new responsibilities
                                                        he takes on  will be even more important.  Fixed opinions about him prevail.
                                                        It will be very difficult for him to get his enemies to relent. 

                                                        He will need to quickly deliver on his promises of lower taxes if Wall Street is to
                                                        keep rising. Bear markets soon descended on
Nixon, Reagan and Bush
                                                        after they were first inaugurated.  


                                                     Nixon     1969
                                                     Reagan 1981
                                                     Bush II  2001  


                                                
                                                    I would consider a DJI close below 19675 to be a judged Sell S10.   The highest
                                                     priced and most heavily weighted DJI stock, Goldman Sachs, has already violated
                                                     its recent support.  This has cause our DJI-13 chart to look like a high diving board,
                                                     even though FAS, the leveraged ETFs of Banks and Financials is still above its
                                                     support.  


                                                     Tomorrow we should watch the DJI and FAS to see if they do break their support
                                                     levels.   If they do, a pullback to the support of their rising 65-dma would seem highly
                                                     likely.   One could with good reason short DIA and FAS and stay short them so
                                                     long as their Closing Powers are falling.  Watch breadth tomorrow. Another 
                                                     day like today where there are more than 1450 down than up would bearishly
                                                     break the A/D Line uptrend and confirm a DJI breakdown. 

                                                     Another trading tactic I'd suggest would be to hedge with some of the Bearish
                                                     MINCP biotechs as short sales.   These look very vulnerable.

                                                               More Thoughts on Inauguration
                            

                                    
A quick reversal and breakout by the DJI above
                                                       20000 would greatly shore up investor confidence. 
                                                       So would a small decline with successful retest of
                                                       the DJI's 65-dma followed by a rally to new highs.
                                    
                                                       But the country is very divided. Trump has so many
                                                       entrenched enemies.  They will seek to bait and distract him
                                                       once he becomes President.  How will Trump react? 
                                                       No one really knows.  He frightens many.  Wall Street
                                                       observers need to see if Trump can stay on track to deliver
                                                       what he has promised.  More than anything,  many
                                                       will want to see Trump remove doubts about his belligerent
                                                       and shoot-from-the-hip style.  Wall Street. after all, values
                                                       predictability much more than personality.


                                   
 Right now, fears and doubts about what a Trump Presidency may mean
                                                       are temporarily outweighing the potential good his Administration could
                                                       do for investors with by much lower taxes and a more lenient regulatory
                                                       climate.   This is may only be temporary.  It all depends on how Trump
                                                       carries himself as President.  Right now, Professionals want to see some evidence
                                                       that he will be able to deliver on what he has promised. They are quietly in
                                                       selling mode, on balance.  Tomorrow and early next week, we will see
                                                       if the all-important DJI can still find find support near its recent lows near 19680.

=========================================================================================================
                 1-18-2017    A DJI close below 19675 will be viewed as a judged Sell S10 even though
                                                the broken horizontal supports for this signal usually last 35 or more trading days.
                                                The nagging fear I have is that the partisan Trump buyers will become the
                                                "bag holders" if the DJI does not manage a breakout this week over 20000
                                                and Professionals do not become net buyers causing the Closing Power
                                                downtrends to be broken.





                                                We must be careful now.  Goldman Sachs fell again today and closed below its
                                                recent support.  So did JPM and our DJI-13.  Without other leadership,
                                                how will the market withstand a bigger bout of profit-taking in the handful of high priced
                                                stocks that produced the 2000 point DJI gain since the Election? Watch now
                                                to see if FAS also suffers a price breakdown below its recent support.



                                                The QQQ and NASDAQ can keep rallying a little longer, but it is the DJI which
                                                usually leads the overall market.  On the bright side, the NYSE A/D Line is still in an
                                                uptrend and the Hourly DJIA's OBV Line is now stronger than the DJI's price action.
                                                This should limit any decline to a test of the lower 3.5% band.   But with the Closing Powers
                                                for DIA, SPY and FAS rated as bearish, let's hold off new buying.


                                                Below we see how strength in the QQQ after the DJI had topped out in 2000, 2007
                                                2008 did not prevent very big declines.  Note, however, in all three cases Peerless had
                                                given its normal S9s and S12s.  That is not true in our present case.

                                   Trump Is Starting To Scare Republicans.
                                                       Who Is He?


                             The President-Elect himself is partly behind the recent market weakness.  Janet Yellen's
                             statement that the US is essentially at full employment now (so that interest rates should go
                             up to prevent inflation) is also a bearish influence.   But Yellen's cautionary words no longer disturb
                             the markets like they used to.

                             Trump is the real problem.  Republicans, by and large, were delighted with their election victories in
                             the House and Senate races.  And they can not find fault with the pro-business and
                             anti-regulation millionaires who will make up Trump's new Cabinet.  So what's the problem?
                             I think that it's not so much his declining poll numbers, though admittedly 30% approval ratings
                             before he even starts in his job seem a big handicap for him.  Rather, it's his pro-Big Government
                             stances.   First, he demands the right to be allowed to tell individual businesses where they may not invest. 
                             By implication, Adam Smith's "golden hand of the free market" does not work well in trade matters and
                             Big Government knows best.  For many Republicans this a big step in the wrong direction. If Big Government
                             is allowed to play a role in the domestic economy in trade policies, why not in industrial relations and in
                             environmental matters?  Worse, Trump still sounds like a populist on health care.  He is coming very close
                             to telling Congress that they must make sure that no American is left without   affordable health care.
                             He has made himself arbiter of when Big Government knows better than private market forces.   Given his
                             frequent shoot-from-hip twitters, in what other ways will he challenge and weaken basic Republican orthodoxy?
                             It's his impulses in the wrong directions that are giving some of the recent buyers of stocks second thoughts
                             about him.                                ,

Watch Goldman Sachs (GS) Tomorrow. 

                               
The DJI is moving farther and farther out to the end of what will either be
                                                a
flat and narrow trading range to propel itself higher on an upside breakout
                                                or a
high diving board from which a steep sell-off will soon follow. A breakout
                                                decisively above 20000 will bring a judged Peerless
 Buy B10 .  A breakdown
                                                close below 19680 will bring a Peerless
Judged S10 .  The DJI's tight price range
                                                that we are watching so closely started on December 13th.  If it is not resolved
                                                by the end of this week, it will be more than 5-weeks old.  Such longevity is
                                                usually bearish in these patterns. 
                                                                    

                                                             
High-Priced DJI Stocks Must Rally Tomorrow.

                                              
 Their importance is directly related to their price.  No other stock is
                                                nearly as important as GS, which declined much more than the others today.

                                                                     GS's Opening Tomorrow May Be The Key

                                                Tomorrow morning before the opening Goldman Sachs is scheduled to announce its
                                                earnings.   How it behaves then will be very important, as Goldman Sachs (GS) is by far the
                                                most heavily weighted stock in the most watched index of the stock market,
                                                the DJI-30. 

                                                Today GS sold off partly because of general nervousness about its earnings plus the
                                                new President-Elect's criticism of a strong Dollar because of how it hurts exports
                                                and US manufacturing and helps imports of non-US goods.  Wall Street roots for a
                                                strong Dollar because they want the US to be the world's financial center.  They benefit
                                                enormously if wealthy foreigners put their money in the US.



                                                Today's 8+ point drop in GS sent nearly all banks and financials down.  FAS
                                                which closely rises and falls as the DJI does nearly broke its recent support.
                                                As these have been the leaders, such a breakdown would remove the biggest
                                                bullish sector propelling the market higher.



                                                                   The Rising QQQ and NASDAQ

                                                The QQQ and the NASDAQ are still in bullish uptrends.  Their up-slope is a modest
                                                20% annualized.  The years 2000 and 2007-2008 show that they can hold up for a
                                                month or two, if the DJI breaks down, but not much more than that.
