This relates to buy signal B8 and sell Signal S12. (per M Scott 10/24/11)"

Could you guys comment on whether B8 applies for Jan 3?

Also, I find Jan 3 interesting b/c 20D MF shows -17.5% Day MF Strength and the daily highs on IWM and $COMPQ came at 9:40 AM or so; I believe essentially the big gap up was sold into. This has the feel of a reversal and perhaps some form of subtle stalling.

I reviewed M Scott's notes on stalling, and I gather in the event of an up day of > +0.4%, and the Market Exposure would never claim stalling on such a day no matter how extreme the reversal (I would not call Jan 3 an extreme reversal).

Thanks in advance,

Shawn

Shawn, FYI I received this personal message from Mike after the close. Billy

"Today’s market action produced B2 (additional FT Day) and B6 (low above the 50-day) market buys signals. The exposure count is now +4 (90% invested).

The NASDAQ is also right at 200-day resistance. The Dow and the S&P have broken above their declining tops line.
