Ahoy Brave and Loyal Crew

Things are looking GRIM
Make sure our streaming services are paid up
Just in case we have to Batten Down the Hatches

Surveying our Bellwether Indexes you will see why the Captain is somewhat concerned

Sailing the NASDAQ 100-------------One WEEK at a Time----------------&-------------------One DAY at a Time

NB: About to tack SOUTH

Sailing the RUSSELL 2000-------------One WEEK at a Time----------------&-------------------One DAY at a Time

NB: One is in the Northern Hemisphere and the Other is in The Southern Hemisphere
To avoid FALSE Readings that occur in Weighted Indexes I use the EQUAL WEIGHTED design when available
She is also Going SOUTH

Sailing the S&P 500-EQUAL Weighted ETF-- One WEEK at a Time------&-------------------One DAY at a Time

And look at that !
We find her near the Equator where falling into the DOLDRUMs is quite common

I Ditched the DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE when the Designers thought it was Best to amalgamate the Top Hi-Tech Nasdaq Listed as INDUSTRIALS
I can understand why they did this
During the Hi-Tech /Dot Com BOOM nobody was interested the DJIA and naturally they feared for their futures

Crikey! Even last Year they almost put META into the Russell 2000 when she was at her cheapest
Can you imagine where the Russell 2000 would be now if a weighted Metta was placed into the Index then?

TBC
Salute and Stay Well

Things are looking GRIM

Last few days of downward pressure have not felt great I agree .. however, I'm not feeling any "capitulation" vibe just yet?

That may change of course, but it feels more like a short term re-balance where the markets might be transitioning from trending to ranging?

Markets in general are still sitting pretty high in their respective saddles. (Thats Horse talk, not sailor talk of course, lol )

The bad thing is, ranging markets are tougher to trade

One indicator supporting my thoughts would be the lack of movement in the VIX which is interesting given the current slide South on Index's.

Ahoy Sea-Cadet Barney

I think the VIX is Broken !
Either she has cracked a Mast or her Main Sail has been ripped apart like a Great White by the Heavy Seas and Strong Winds

If you don't remember what my father said I'll remind you
" Chaz , Don't Think .
You Are Not Good At It!"

I Think I am Right this Time!

Salute and Stay Well

Here comes the Sea- Change we have all been Waiting For in our Industrial Metal Classification of sail

Sailing the Hang Seng ----------------One DAY at a Time----------------&----------------- 5 MINUTES at a Time


Sailing the Magnificent BHP ----------------One DAY at a Time----------------&----------------- 5 MINUTES at a Time


Salute and Gods' speed

Ahoy Brave and Loyal Crew

The last 3 days shown above in the HSI and BHP is a well respected REVERSAL Pattern in TA
I call it a "Sea-Change" and trust it

Because NEWS /Idle Chatter is True or Fake, Positive or Negative it is meaningless and Dangerous to this skipper

NEWS can even bring Fear into the heads of some Captains and they have been known to Freeze at the Helm

Even the Bravest and the Most Loyal of Crew begin to question the Captain's orders
Many if not Millions of Great Opportunities are Lost

That is why the Good Ship HMAS Ship of Fools is a "NEWS FREE ZONE"

I hope you enjoy our new Theme Song


Salute and Gods' Speed
