Important Note: This is my first post on the new hosting site. I am working on the other elements of this site, but at least the blog is up and running. I realize that the charts cannot be enlarged like before so I’m trying to get that fixed by next week.
MARKET REVIEW — NASDAQ Closes at 7998.06 + 0.17% for week 
The markets had a quiet holiday week. The DJIA gained 0.56%, the S&P 500 lost 0.08%, and the NASDAQ Composite blipped up 0.17%. On Friday Indicator #5 experiened a SELL signal resulting in a Dashboard reading of “3””down a notch from recent “4” reading. The NASDAQ is now only 35 points away from its 2018 intra-day yearly high. However, as you can see the MACD had a negative crossover on Friday, so the next week will show whether or not the previous high can be decisievely taken out.
Our portfolio remains 100% in cash. For the year-to-date the DJIA is up 13.86%, the S&P is up 15.88%, and the NASDAQ is up 20.54%. This compares to BDH’s 2019 performance of 3.02%.
