Ira mentioned a few times that the Christmas rally will be early this yr and starting in Nov.
Like some others I moved 100% S today, knowing that pretty much every guru I follow is predicting a pullback in the short term.
In any case, IWM is finally breaking above the sideways channel it's been in all year. Chart #79 shows it well. https://stockcharts.com/public/1107832/tenpp/7
Looks like it's already breaking above the trend line if you connect the two highs for the year. It appears that small cap seasonality might be starting early this year.
I'm only hoping for 2% conservatively by Christmas, which would put me over 16%, double my annual goal...but wouldn't be surprised with much more if the mass hysteria can continue into 2023. Maybe as much as 8% for the S fund.
This sure feels/looks a lot like late 1999 to me. Normal TA and wave patterns are out the window when there's minimal fear of a decline.
Uh, yeah, this is a great time to go all in LOL....

Martin Pring is among the best technicians I'd say, seems like the S fund is a no brainer right now...

I'm confused.
At this instant, U.S. midcaps (MDY) are up 0.83%, small caps (IWM) are up 0.63%, and even microcaps (IWC) are up about the same, +0.62%.
But DWCPF is at negative -0.35%.
Huh? What else is in the the S fund that could cause such a huge discrepancy?
I just looked up the components of the S fund, and from the Factsheet on this page...

...many of the top holdings are getting absolutely crushed, and the charts look terrible to me, especially SNOW which appears to be peaking.
I hate locking in a loss for this trade, and I hate going against seasonality, but I've moved to C since I feel more confident it should have at last some small additional gains by year-end.
Edit...really don't like what I'm seeing, moved to G.

Great info. Thank you Tsunami!
Don't take my comments as trading advice /IFT: 4-24-24=50G- 50C https://www.theepochtimes.com/ & http://www.ewg.org/PermaCharts@p430#5159/strategy#4918p.410
Snow is still falling, and Zoom is still zooming (down)...

Thus the S fund is getting crushed by the overvalued tech stocks that comprise its top holdings.
If Slim is right I'd look for a wave B bounce to start soon, but then I think we'll see another decline (wave C) into early to mid-December.

Glad I got out. I see that Hussman and Peter Eliades are crying wolf again. One of these times they'll be right, but for now I'm expecting the bull to resume and possibly get as high as David Hunter's 5300 target by May.

I have Eliades software and IWM currently has a projection down to 223.79 on an hourly chart. Looks like filling the gap from mid-October about $1 lower than that would be a good target.
So that's a target for me to possibly move back in. VXF has a projection down to 183.23, about 3% lower, not the end of the world (yet).
Like Exnavyew and others I reeeeeeeally wanted to get in yesterday, but couldn't since I'd spent my 2 IFTs for November.
I really wish the TSP would allow additional IFTs for a commission/fee, if it's really true that IFTs cost them money (which I doubt since it has to be all automated).
Not having an IFT will cost me over $10K today. Argh. But at least there's a good chance that I'll get back in well below where I got out on 11/22.
Anyway, my guess is today is a wave 1 of 1 up of the new rally that will extend into January, and tomorrow will bring a wave 2 down of this wave 1 up. So I'm holding off on getting in until tomorrow.
My target for today's wave 1 top is 4641 ES futures, which will be somewhere in the upper 4640s for SPX, near the trend line on Chart 52:

I loaded up on SPY and IWM calls right at the close yesterday in my Roth IRA, so at least I've got that going today. I plan to sell when ES hits 4640.
Tomorrow's dip will be blamed on fear of the budget deadline and the November jobs report coming out on Friday.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it LOL, and I hope Santa doesn't get quarantined somewhere this month.
