NOT MUCH PROGRESS

THE TRENDS:  Both the long term and intermediate term trends remain up.  But the weekly price action has me a bit concerned.  Take a look at the weekly SPY chart.  For the third consecutive week prices closed on Friday very near where they opened on Monday.  There is a lot of indecision in the market.  This may be due to the fact that we're very near a major holiday.  However, one of the most important market breadth indicators I look at still points to a very bullish market and prices remain above both of the important moving averages.












WHAT I WOULD DO LONG TERM:  Nothing has changed since last week.  Typically when we encounter the type of indecisive price action I take a certain percentage off the table and get 100% invested again if the market makes a more decisive move up.  Depending on your risk tolerance you may choose to do the same or just stay in 100% until an intermediate term sell signal is given.  HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
