Hi Mark,

I am under-invested in my personal accounts. I was wondering if you would use this weakness we're experiencing to add positions,
knowing that they may not be long term holds?
I am grateful for the information you have shared this year, and I have had clients invested through the year, but my accounts have
suffered. I am asking for an opinion, not a forecast, if that helps.

Thanks Mark.

So is what you are saying.....Stay invested, even though the 9-12 months is up, unless you see a bear market beginning?

I understand that thought process, but there could be some significant drawdowns (30-50%) and still not be in a technical bear
market - correct?

Now don't confuse this with the signal I talked about in early January- the advancing vol / declining volume ratio That does not rely
on total volume at all but merely the differential in volume. I look at the ratio as an indicator of supply and demand especially when it

Advancing. Declining

times , I'm not smart enough to determine when an intermediate correction will begin or end and I don't think anyone else is. I
like to use the smart chart 1 box reversal charts and try to buy near a prior breakout area. These areas stand out on the 1 box
chart. Generally , stocks near this area don't go down too much from there. Differentiate the prior breakout area from a support
area. A stocks support area, if there is one , will be higher than a previous breakout. I find stocks often break support in
corrections but stop at previous break ours. This was one of Watson Wright's favorite buys

I don't know if there is any good intermediate term indicator so I concentrate on whether it's a bull market or not. And for that i
mainly use the 1% RSP chart and volatility. I will adjust the BSL if it gets too far away from the current price. There are books that
tell you how to adjust it. A break of the bsl I consider a sell signal on the market. But I also look for blow off moves as at least a
warning. To me it's an art form and not a black box.

I look at volatility by examining the Pnf chart of the RSP. I look at the number of vertical columns over the last twelve months to see
it there is an increase. I haven't quantified this and maybe someone will but I think this idea might be mine. Look at the past charts
of the SNP and you will notice an increase in the vertical columns before bear markets. I believe DWA Analyst Report did a piece
on volatility and how it effects market returns.

You should definitely read the DeVilllier and Taylor book and the DuPlessis book , at a minimum , for their work on 1 box reversal
charts. I use those charts for reentry near SUPPORT points after I raise cash. I try not to wait for break outs as they are too late.
And this is the bulk of my activity during a bull market ( excluding periods, like now where we have a super bull in effect) - I raise
cash when the market and or a stock is extended and I reentered at prior support. As simple as that.

There are no guarantees and many times I've been wrong , but overall it works pretty well.

I also use fundamental when picking stocks. That might be old fashion but I believe that good companies are less risky than just
using technicals I will always time the buy and sell thru PNF

When I put this in writing its a little long, but really my method is very simple and there is judgement involved but I do have uncle
points where I must sell

Hope this helps you get some ideas.

Thanks for your time and effort Mark.

I understand how you calculate this now, it is slightly different than some of the other sites I researched to learn about it. Since I
have not read Dan Sullivan or the Chartist site, I was unsure how they calculated he average either. I have been using Yahoo
Advance/Decline data and the numbers are not exact, but they certainly are very close. (Within about 5 either way) I also
discovered, the hard way, that holidays need to be eliminated from the calculation, not just copied as data from the day before.
(which skews the results badly). Once I calculated the 10 day average the way you did, I got the exact same results.

I am still trying to figure out how to calculate a reasonable medium term market indicator. I have lost too many opportunities in
the last couple of years by just using my gut and my moderate knowledge of DWA. I am a small boutique investment advisory
with about 30 clients and my own investments. I started doing this for myself around 1998 and in 2008 I was laid-off from my
company and decided to try this as a career. Any advice or assistance in trying to get a handle on opportune times to get more
fully invested or divested would be greatly appreciated.

Remember , after the first of the three Indicators gives a buy signal any subsequent one occurring during the next 9 months is

This period since January 2 has acted very much in line with past super bull periods - corrections are shallow and quick.

Hi Daniel ,

This is the kind of market that I stay fully invested in and I don't wait for pullbacks. Listen to the Monday DWA video. They
mentioned that the market presently is 40% overbought , and although pullbacks normally happen from this level , on average the
market over the last ten years was higher one , three and six months after the 40% level was reached. They also said you normally
don't reach this level unless a bull market is in effect

So the bottom line is that I am not good enough to catch little blips in the market when one of Dans indicators is in effect. To quote
a cliche - " I don't sweat the small stuff ".

And of course there are no guarantees. As I've said, I've been caught in some nasty corrections , but the odds are that this shouldn't
happen

Based on my research - it looks like a pullback is likely, but based on a couple of comments you've made about the "thrust

No. After the super bull period you can sell extended stocks and perhaps some poor performing ones. As I said , I then look to
buy back stocks I sold or buy new ones near previous break out points. This means I generally need a market pull back. But say
the market is not extended but some of my stocks are. I would sell some or all of the extended stocks and buy something else
since the market is in a buyable zone. So , as you see , a lot depends on the condition of the market itself

I don't think you should ever lose 30% to 50% if its not a bear market. Last resort stops, like the BSL should already have taken you
out.

Also , I'm not professing buy and hold , but if you could do one thing right , that would be to avoid bear markets. If you could do
that, all the intermediate corrections would just be " noise "
Look at any bull market period and you will obviously see this. Corrections are emotional. I'm not saying its easy, and it takes
some conviction

I know a great money manager who is always fully invested and his compound return since 1993 is 14%. That's incredible. He
does this by picking great companies. Most of us technicians do not spend enough time learning the fundamental side , but I think
it's imperative if you want to separate yourself from others. The last few years I have been trying to learn this. I am still not a buy
and holder , I don't have the stomach , but I now believe that picking great companies is the most important thing

Thanks Mark.

So is what you are saying.....Stay invested, even though the 9-12 months is up, unless you see a bear market beginning?

I understand that thought process, but there could be some significant drawdowns (30-50%) and still not be in a technical bear
market - correct?

Daniel, also , I'm trying to out most of my efforts into identifying a bear market. If I stay fully invested ( which I don't ) but could
avoid the bulk of a bear market , I would rank at the top of money managers. As we know markets are in a bull market about
twice as long as a bear market. Also , there is an unforgiving trend of the market , in the long term , to go up. So all I have to
do is avoid bear markets and not make the terrible mistake of being on the sidelines during a bull market. As I mentioned to
you in the previous email I still do selling after the super bull period ends , but even that is not vital to long term success , and it
might even hurt me if I'm wrong and stay wrong. The intermediate game is a tough one and I think is the cause for
underperformance of many people.

Hi Mark,

Do you have a sense what type of environment we are heading into? Based on previous emails, and some independent
studying, Dan Sullivan's indicators should have legs for about 12 months. I believe you stated earlier that you just hold on for
at least 9 months, then re-evaluate. (I hope I haven't misrepresented your stance) I have been holding positions that are also
holding relative strength and trend, so I am not terribly concerned with the price action of the last few days or the last week or
so. I am curious about the pullback we are experiencing though. Would you use this weakness to redirect investments or
just start an orderly retreat from positions losing other technical attributes and put the proceeds into cash?

Do you have any advice/experience with the timely exits after one of these "super bull" indicators does run its course? Is
there something you look for to help decide or confirm when an exit is warranted?
Thanks again for your help. I have been paying some attention to the CSS pattern stuff that has been on the DWA board
lately, very interesting. I have also had off board exchanges with Brian Randall and Donna Paravalos about the methodology
and I have suggested that they research your posts from earlier this year as well. There really is a wealth of knowledge out
there if the infants would just shut up. I hope to hear from you soon, have a great Labor Day weekend.

Daniel , as you know I keep it pretty simple - I stay fully invested. There is nothing wrong with selling poor stocks and buying better
one at any time during this period though I try to give my stocks as much room as possible cause they are all good companies ( I
only buy stocks except for the PIE, and I use fundamentals too ).

When the period is over I have a few loose rules but I never depend on the nysebp , the hi lo etc because I don't believe
intermediate corrections can be predicted with any accuracy. At least I can't. So I will sell 50% of a stock that's up 50% in 6 months
or less. If a stock is in a column of at least 18 X's I will sell at least half. Any poor stocks I will sell. If a stock is extended on the
trading bands or maybe bumping up against the bullish resistance line for a second time. Things like that. I'm always trying to sell
on the way up and looking to buy near prior breakouts during what I think is a bull market. I use the 1 box charts for help in finding
prior breakout areas. I think it's a losing game to wait for stops. I think it's a losing game to wait to sell into weakness and then
wait to buy after strength is shown. There is usually not enough wiggle room for this during a bull market as many corrections are
less than 10%. I'm very happy selling on the way up , even if a stock goes higher after that , which it normally will. And I'm happy
buying on a previous breakout area even if the stock goes lower after that. I have a good chance of selling and buying cheaper with
this method

Hi Daniel

Dan Sullivan has only mentioned those indicators referring to a bullish move. I've tried to make sense out of ten to one days , etc on
the downside but have come up empty. I think the problem , as always with down moves is volatility. Volatility , at least to me ,
makes many Indicators irrelevant. So I keep it very simple as I've mentioned many times - I stay bullish for at least 9 months after
one of these super indicators flashes a buy signal. It gets tough during corrections such as the present one , but in the end it's
almost always right to stay invested during the " super bull 9 months ".

Hi Mark,

I have been trying to learn more about the momentum indicators that you have shared, and I have a question about the lat couple
of days if you don't mind.
On 4/15 there was a 14.25x difference between the decliners and the advancers on the NYSE. (favoring decliners)
On 4/16 there was a 6.38x difference between the advancers and decliners on the NYSE. (favoring advancers)
On 4/17 there was a 10.11x difference between the decliners and the advancers on the NYSE. (favoring decliners again)

I remember you saying that a 10x difference on advancers/decliners followed by a 4x difference on advancers/decliners
(momentum thrust indicator) meant that there was abnormally strong upward momentum to the market. Does the data I showed
above indicate a negation/reversal of the positive momentum thrust? I realize that it is not consecutive days, so I'm not exactly
sure if there is any meaning in this, or if there is something to watch. I also appears as though the overall volume of the NYSE
market has been trending up. Does this represent anything of significance?

Thanks again for your time and insight, I hope I am beginning to understand these indicators better.

I strictly buy stocks so they certainly don't weather a downturn very well on average. I use Motley Fool , I look at what Buffett buys
, etc. David Gardner of the motley fool said something very interesting - He said if he had never done any selling in all his years
with the motley fool he would have done better than he has done ( and he has done very well ).

I'm not professing buy and hold forever , but I do feel , and I think you know this , that most people will be better off by making fewer
decisions

Not to pry too much, but if you've been invested why have your accounts suffered ?

Anyhow , I would use weakness to buy stocks for the one reason that I don't think this bull market is over. As I've said many times ,
I'm not smart enough to determine when an intermediate correction will begin or end and I don't think anyone else is. I like to use
the smart chart 1 box reversal charts and try to buy near a prior breakout area. These areas stand out on the 1 box chart.
Generally , stocks near this area don't go down too much from there. Differentiate the prior breakout area from a support area. A
stocks support area, if there is one , will be higher than a previous breakout. I find stocks often break support in corrections but stop
at previous break ours. This was one of Watson Wright's favorite buys

Daniel, I won't have time until the weekend to verify your calculation. Right now Dan Sullivan's volume thrust indicator ( see dwa
board post ) gave a buy signal. I use it the same way I use the adv decline indicator. Namely , I try to stay 100% invested for nine
months following the latest signal. If I sell something i will replace it with something else
The reason is because after these signals there is a high probability that the market will be higher nine months later. Also ,
corrections are usually small and fast and trying to get cute with timing will probably cost you.
The only time I might do some partial selling is if the SNP is up 20% in 3 to 4 months. I view that as an extreme move but even then
I might not sell.
Hope this helps a little
