Sentiment Survey Results 2009

**tsptalk** · 01-01-2009, 11:29 PM

As mentioned on www.tsptalk.com/sentiment.html, we are implementing news rule to the Sentiment Survey System, which will now determine if we are in a bull or bear market before determining the ratios used for the buy and sell signals.

Bull Market Rules: If the 50-day exponential moving average of the S&P 500 is above the exponential 200-day moving average, we will use the following rules:

When the Bulls to Bears Ratio is:

* 2.00 or higher, it is overly bullish, which is bearish for the market and we have a sell signal.

* Less than 1.25, it is overly bearish, which is bullish for the market and we have a buy signal.

* A buy signal means 100% S fund the following week. A sell signal means 100% G fund the following week.

Bear Market Rules: If the 50-day exponential moving average of the S&P 500 is below the exponential 200-day moving average, we will use these rules:

When the Bulls to Bears Ratio is:

* 1.00 or higher, it is overly bullish, which is bearish for the market and we have a sell signal.

* Less than 0.50, it is overly bearish, which is bullish for the market and we have a buy signal.

*A buy signal means 100% C fund the following week. A sell signal means 100% G fund the following week.

The reason for the change is because in 2008, the ratio never reached 2.00 so it has been on a buy signal, and 100% S-fund all year. Obviously this is unacceptable.
