Market Barometer Bias Model-data indicates a slight risk of a correction. The same data also show a better chance of the S&P 500 stalled at or near the July 2017 level, with higher and lower runs. The up and down stalled market could last through 2018 and into 2019. Data shows the S&P 500 could continue higher either in the Second or Third Quarter of 2019, much like it had done from the period of January 2016 to now, July 2017.
The data is based on Traders and Investors habits thus far in 2017. The forecast obviously excludes geopolitics and disasters. The data suggests the market will act similar to that of the period January 2015 through July 2017. The stagnate market could end in 2019 with a S&P 500 rallying 500 to 600 points. The way to track this chance of a correction or a stagnate stock market is to watch the forecast (upper left corner of all displays) and to watch the long term forecast. 5:08 P.M. Eastern
Recent sell off in Asia Pacific stock markets tug at U.S. markets, causing U.S. stocks to fall in pullback form. Traders and investors will watch world markets, especially oil gold, and equities. Wednesday, December 10, 2014, 6:07 P.M. Eastern
Driverless Car Intel and NatGas Note
Thanks for the report; Intel most likely will be a large player in Driverless Vehicles, as well as LNG. The report points out that Driverless cars will, most likely, be powered by Electricity- Electric Cars- as well as LNG- Natural Gas that is liquefied. What most people don't know is that the Electrical Grid- Electrical Power Stations- use Natural Gas to produce electrical power. We already have positions (invested) in Intel Corp (INTC) as well as NatGas (UNG), both are favored, in my opinion, to advance in price in the next 5, 10, 15 years. 8:26 A.M. Eastern; internal note
