This is Turov on Timing for Thursday, April 19, 2012.
The SPX declined 5.64 points yesterday to close at 1385.14. TOT daily traders were on the sidelines for the session. We are currently flat.
Since initiation of the Turov on Timing service on September 30, 1993, our daily trader recommendations have gained 13238.83 cumulative SPX points, compared to a gain of 926.21 points in the index itself over the same period. That’s a ratio of 14.29 to one.
The super long term perspective for the stock market remains bearish (as it has been since January 2000 after having been bullish from December 1974 until then). When the current cyclical bull market ends (and at present, my best educated guess is that it will end in late 2012 or early 2013), expect another nasty crash to perhaps finally bring an end to the long term bear market that began in 2000.
The Intermediate Term Model remains bearish.
The cognoscenti believe that the big Spanish bond auction will be important today. Not being able to spell “cognoscenti” without “Spell Check,” I’m not sure. But IF the market has a big sell-off on the news and IF I see positive divergence on my intraday model, I will want to go long. Stay on the sidelines for now, and stay tuned for an update (if applicable).
