\"Bullish<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.\u201d
<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 H. L. Menckken<\/p>\n

In all the years I\u2019ve been tracking the Bullish Percent Indicators (BPI), as shown below, I never witnessed such a precipitous drop in prices as we experienced the last two trading days this week.\u00a0 No, I was not tracking BPI data in October of 1987.\u00a0 Prior market corrections contained some semblance of rational behavior.\u00a0 This debacle is self-inflicted and defies common sense reasoning.<\/p>\n

Where does this leave us as investors?\u00a0 How does one negotiate chaos and uncertainty, something stock markets abhor?\u00a0 This is a real test for the Sector BPI investing model.\u00a0 While the three Sector BPI portfolios are not scheduled for reviews this coming week, I plan to update all as there are Buy signals flashing as readers will see in the following data tables.<\/p>\n

Index BPI<\/strong><\/p>\n

All seven major indexes of the U.S. stock market are bearish.\u00a0 I have never seen one hit rock bottom as is the case for the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJTA).\u00a0 Not one stock contained in this index is bullish.\u00a0 Nor do I recall all seven indexes positioned in the oversold zone at one time.<\/p>\n

\"Bullish<\/p>\n

Sector BPI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now we check the eleven sectors that make up the U.S. equities market.\u00a0 This is where we go for information and guidance for the Sector BPI investing model.\u00a0 Using the Carson Portfolio<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span> as an example, the Sector BPI portfolios already hold shares in seven of the eleven sectors.<\/p>\n

Three more sectors dropped into the oversold zone this week and they are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Financial (VFH)<\/li>\n
  2. Industrial (VIS)<\/li>\n
  3. Communications (VOX)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is important to separate a sector from the ETF that covers that sector.\u00a0 I use StockCharts to determine whether a sector is Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral.\u00a0 A bearish sector is when the percent of bearish stocks within that sector drop to 30% or below.\u00a0 In the following table, Discretionary is only 20% bullish or well below the 30% threshold.\u00a0 Therefore, Discretionary is considered oversold so we purchase shares of VCR.\u00a0 The percentage to hold is explained elsewhere on this blog.<\/p>\n

    To populate these three sectors shares of SHV will be sold.\u00a0 If insufficient cash is raised from this sale I will dip into VOO, painful as it may be to sell shares at lower prices.\u00a0 The argument is that sectors, when positioned in the oversold zone, will rise faster then the broad market when recovery arrives.<\/p>\n

    \"Bullish<\/p>\n

    If you are a new reader and not familiar with the Sector BPI investing model<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, do a search for Sector BPI and follow the reviews of the Carson, Franklin, and McClintock.<\/p>\n
