Exit Stage 4, Right Even

In Stan Weinstein's Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets the 30 week moving average is a key determinant of which stage the market is currently in.  Based upon his methodology, a declining 30 week moving average is Stage 4, and regarding stage 4 he states on page 39, "Don't get caught up in the macho game of riding out a decline.  Hanging tough in Stage 4 is a masochistic and costly game."

The weekly chart of the SP clearly shows that the market is in Stage 4.  In order for the market to transition into a new up trend- Stage 2- it must first go through Stage 1, a basing area. As of yet the volatility remains exceptionally high indicating the unlikelihood of a transition in the near future.

  Sometimes deducing a markets character really can be this simple.
