04/30/2016 Weekend Update

Institutional buying and selling chart from stocktiming shows more accumulation than distribution. The accumulation is down while distribution is down too, so it's a trending phase, so more up?

• When accumulation and distribution are down means we're in trending phase.

• When accumulation is up, distribution is down, it's a bottoming phase.

• When accumulation is down, distribution is up, it's the topping phase.

Smart money is buying, so it's kind of condition 2.), the pullback was over?


How I use the chart:

I don't care what's the logic behind the chart. I found it works in the following two cases:

1.) When market up huge, if I see smart money huge short, best if new record short, then I know a short-term pullback is due soon.
2.) When market down, if I see smart money suddenly rises sharply from very negative value, then I know the pullback was over.

So I only use this chart for the above 2 cases. Besides those 2 cases, it means nothing to me. i.e. the absolute value of this chart means nothing to me, I only care if it rises sharply or drops sharply.

Economic Report:
"Real gross domestic product -- the value of the goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes -- increased at an annual rate of 0.5 percent in the first quarter of 2016, according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 1.4 percent.

Personal consumption expenditures are decelerating; they grew 3.6% in 2Q15, but only 1.9% in 1Q16. For the first time in 4 quarters, durable goods purchased contracted (-1.6%) while spending on non-durable goods was weak (+1%). Overall capital investment contracted .7% in 3Q15, increasing to -3.5% in 1Q16. CRE and IP investment dropped the last three quarters while investment in equipment declined the last two. And exports contracted 2.6% in 1Q16. The above report contains only three positives: the consumer is still spending (albeit weakly), residential investment is gaining ground, and local government spending ticked up 2.6%. Aside from those points, the report contains little to cheer about. This is the type of environment companies struggle in."

NEW IPO:
Liberty Media spun off the Atlanta Braves on 18 April, ticker symbols: BATRA and BATRK
These symbols have already been INCLUDED in the QQQ.
Good thing they are only currently weighted at 0% and 0.01%, respectively, so …. they won’t have any effect on the QQQ.
[Some investor/fans must be pretty pizzed off...]
