Guardian Angel Protection: SPY Weekend Update for 10-10-14
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/10/spy-weekend-update-for-10-10-14.html
Saturday, October 11, 2014. SPY Weekend Update for 10-10-14. SPY, the ETF proxy for the Standard and Poor's 500 Index, fell sharply this week after riding a roller-coaster of highs and lows. When it was all over with, SPY found itself down nearly 6 full points to 190.54. Price broke below the -2 standard deviation level on the 20 week moving average for the first time since May 29, 2012! The weekly chart though shows a declining neckline but still a head and shoulders possible set-up. It's been quite a l...

Guardian Angel Protection: Stocks Tread Water . . .
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/09/stocks-tread-water.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. Stocks Tread Water . . . As expected, despite a quite volatile day, set off by political turmoil in Hong Kong, S&P gapped down on the open but managed to move back up, closing down just 0.36 on SPY, finishing at 197.54. I mentioned yesterday that I expected the market to possibly rise today in a set-up for tomorrow's three-day test of the low. Size (volatility measurement) continues to rise, supporting my expectation that the move down will continue. This downtrend has yet to ...

Guardian Angel Protection: Was Today the TOP??? SPY Thoughts
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/11/was-today-top-spy-thoughts.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Was Today the TOP? Changing of the Guard. Republicans gain enough seats in the Senate last night to now hold a majority. The market could have gone much higher as the upper line indicates, but it didn't. None-the-less, the market gapped up on the open. SPY closed up 1.27 to close at a new all time high of 202.34. But again, the move is really long-winded but if you look at the standard deviation chart, you can see that the last big move we had, off of the August lows, looks j...

Guardian Angel Protection: Central Banks Distort World Financial Markets
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/11/central-banks-distort-world-financial.html
Saturday, November 1, 2014. Central Banks Distort World Financial Markets. In a mere 12 business days, the S&P along with other major markets skyrocketed back to the highs without even taking a breath. The rally continued to surge, despite the Federal Reserve Bank ending QE 3. Many thought that the end of the QE would result in market weakness as it has each other time the Fed stopped a stimulus program. But Nope. The market kept going up and up and up. We similarly had a "Flash Crash" in May of 2010 whe...

Guardian Angel Protection: World Stocks Fall
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/10/world-stocks-fall.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Stocks across the globe fell today with US stocks declining about 1.4%. SPY, the ETF proxy for the Standard and Poor's 500 fell 2.67 to 914.35 (-1.36%) while DIA, the ETF proxy for the Dow Industrial Average, fell 2.39 to 167.78 (-1.41%). The biggest loser in my ETF universe was Brazil (EWZ) which fell 3.54% to 41.91. We see a very dramatic move here in the past month. Will the US equity market follow this pattern? Or will they do a switcheroo and tank the markets? And althoug...

Guardian Angel Protection: Bears Throw in the Towel
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/11/bears-throw-in-towel.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Bears Throw in the Towel. After 8 days of sideways trading with SPY closing within a tight range between 203 and 204, price broke out to new highs closing at 205.55. In many of the blogs I read, commenters are hugely bullish now and it seems that only a handful of Bears remain. But on the contrary, I've seen all of my indicators (on the daily basis) roll over. So today's rally reminds me to some extent of the rally we saw just before the market dropped hard. A decent move in j...

Guardian Angel Protection: Large Caps Fall, Small Caps Gain in Wild Week
http://assetdesigncenter.blogspot.com/2014/10/large-caps-fall-small-caps-gain-in-wild.html
Sunday, October 19, 2014. Large Caps Fall, Small Caps Gain in Wild Week. SPY, the ETF proxy for the Standard and Poor's 500 index, fell more than 1% this past week, a week that for the second week in a row, saw wild gyrations both up and down. In the end, SPY closed down 2.07 to 188.47. There were some bright sides though. Small and Micro Cap stocks gained, with the Micro Cap ETF (IWC) advancing 3.2% to 68.62. One way I measure this momentum is with my Size indicator. We can see a few areas of resistance...
