The Latest Human Folly - Disinformation

The eight Mid-term Indicant bear signals remain supportive of the stock market bear. The Federal Reserve is now attempting to fight inflation with interest rate hikes. That will dampen bullish enthusiasm. The historical pattern is to aggressively increase interest rates. The idea is to dampen the demand for anything, including oil. The current political elite do not like oil. They want oil prices to skyrocket. If the Fed is successful, oil prices can fall, but falling economy will impose an increasingly carless society. Few will have jobs and with that fewer cars will be sold to consume the oil. Either way, the middleclass is about to endure another cycle of its decline in their quality of life. The middleclass pays the bills more than any other class. The really rich and really poor do not pay much tax. Only those in between. So, the policies of the so-called prevailing left demonstrate they are lunatics. They are making the same mistake of the Bolsheviks, where three to four generations live miserable lives and then the system collapses. Why develop a system that collapses? Lunatics have no answer for they are just lunatics, which is increasingly obvious from the pontificating society. Their gibberish is pure lunacy. The human species is in decline. The stock market bull requires increasing human effectiveness.

The disinformation campaign, created by the main generators of disinformation. is an attempt to destroy the U.S. Constitution, which provides the freedom to both productive people as well as lunatics. The problem is that the lunatics want the only and final say on any subject. Disinformation is a common element of human beings where 80% of them lie. Rest assured the other 20% are not politicians or their appointees. The stock market bull will not coexist if that 20% are shuttered. The stock market prefers the lies so it can override with the truth.

Here is an example of disinformation from the Whitehouse. They have repeatedly blamed inflation and the related rising price of oil on Vladimir Putin. On November 5, 2020, which was the same week the presidential election, oil traded at $39.26/Bbl. Speculators knew what the democratic party was going to do and immediately started buying the commodity, shoving the price higher. So, the baseline is set to the week of the 2020 presidential elections. day. Lunatics are predictable and the smart always act on what is predictable.

On Feb 17, 2022, one week before Russia attacked Ukraine, oil was trading at $92.03. So, prior to being able to blame Putin, oil increased from $39.26 to $92.03 or by 155.5%.

As of last Thursday evening, oil was trading at $109.03. Since Russia attacked Ukraine, oil increased from $92.03 to $109.03 or by 18%. So, before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, oil prices increased 155.5% and only 18% after Putin’s invasion. But, yet the Whitehouse blames Putin. That is disinformation and the same plutocrats are wanting to appoint a czar to regulate disinformation. One little three-pound brain, who is human with an 80% of chance of lying, can decide what is disinformation and what is true. The stock market understood lunacy in the 1930’s.

Repeated Whitehouse press conferences blamed Putin for the rise in oil prices. Disinformation is a fancy word developed by those that disinform. Lying is a more appropriate word. The Whitehouse fabricates a lie to hide one of their many policy follies. The reduced the supply of oil, against increasing demand for oil. With that, prices will rise. Capitalists since the beginning have been problem solvers. Pontificators have never solved a problem. They only create them. Nearly all earth’s inhabitants can talk. So, there is nothing special about pontificators. Only a few know how to build an engine or a battery.

Let’s pretend we are Adam Schiff for a few moments. Let’s fabricate something similar to Schiff’s ability to do so. Here is how it could go. “In late 2021, President Biden called his pal Vladimir Putin and said, you have the green light to attack Ukraine. I am falling in the polls and need a distraction, plus an addition bump in oil prices so I can blame you, Vladimir. Of course, my good friend, you will not care if Americans are mad at you for rising oil prices. Vladimir responded, “that sounds great, Joe. I had rather you be in the Whitehouse than that crazy Trump or anyone else.”

Now, the previous paragraph is disinformation, as there is no proof of that. There are little three-pound brains that contrive that sort of stuff daily. If the author were a Trump associate, contemporary news media would not include the first sentence in this paragraph. They would, however, blast the above paragraph, claiming it to be disinformation.

The stock market bull does not mind lies. However, the stock market bull will not coexist when only one group is authorized to lie. The Hegelian Dialectic will in the end survive. The problem is that it can take centuries for a wrong cycle to correct.

Last week, the ten major indices were down by an average of only 0.4%. The DJT-(Chart) and DJU-(Chart) were bullish, while the other eight indices were bearish. All of those eight indices are enduring Mid-term Indicant bear signals. Most attributes are increasingly bearish. The Fed raised interest rates 50-basis points. If interest rate hikes are aggressive and/or inflation continues to increase, a 1970’s like stock market can manifest and even worse. That decade endured rising oil prices, high inflation, and increasing interest rates. Mortgage rates will also rise, but still remain low enough for strong home ownership.

The primary attribute of interest are force vectors. You want to see them rise. Right now they are falling and vector pressure is in bearish domains. The stock market bull cannot regain traction with those two attributes behaving as they are now. The next section discusses them in detail.

Mid-term Indicant Status of the Major Indices

The major stock market indices can be accessed by clicking this sentence.

Click this sentence to review how to understand the below terms.

Click this sentence to understand the details on the charts.

Mid-term Indicant Red Bulls-Click for Explanation¹⁾: 1-Red Bull, 9-Non-Red Bulls

Comment: The lone Red Bull, DJU-(Chart), is above Red by 5.6%. The stock market bull is no longer dominant. However, just one Red Bull prevents the stock market bear from absolute domination.

Mid-term Indicant Blue Bulls-Click for Explanation²⁾: 0-Blue Bulls, 10-Non-Blue Bulls

Comment: The absence of Blue Bulls is maximal non-bullishness. The bear is no longer enduring one of the major forces of resistance. The stock market bear can attack without much resistance.

Mid-term Indicant Yellow Bears-Click for Explanation³⁾: 0-Yellow Bears, 10-Non-Yellow Bears

Comment: All major indices are above Yellow by an average of 22.6%. The absence of Yellow Bears strongly suggest economic depression is not possible now. Stock market dynamics are never wrong in predicting that, but sometimes predicts a non-existing recession. Recession or not, the Indicant’s focus is to avoid bears. It will not wait for a 22.6% drop before signaling bear. Rest assured a future Yellow Bear lurks, but not along the mid-term horizon at this time. Also, keep in mind, severe stock market bears can drop 50.0% in a matter of weeks, while a stock market bull’s 50% increase is much slower. Keep in mind a 50% drop requires a 100% increase to displace the 50% drop.

Mid-term Indicant Green Bears-Click for Explanation⁴⁾: 8-Green Bears, 2-Non-Green Bears

Comment: The two non-Green Bears are above green by 5.8%. The eight Green Bears are below green by 3.6%. The two non-green bears are the DJU-(Chart) and DJT-(Chart).

Mid-term Indicant Red to Green Position⁵⁾: 10-Red Higher than Green; 0-Green Higher Than Red

Comment: The mix here is irrelevant at this point with all red curves above green curves. The over-heating indicator expired and awaiting a new cycle of overheating. That will be quite some time from now. Most likely several years from now. Much depends on elections and removal of the nonsensicality of the newly found movement of the political elite as the masters of delineating disinformation from fact. On the contrary they are the masters of disinformation. It is amazing how evil introduces itself as some sort of master of this and that, while all they are simply pontificators who has normal disdain from contrarian pontificators. Neither group is good. The only good from humanity’s contribution are from within the three meaningful groups of economic sectors. That is manufacturing, extraction, and agriculture.

Mid-term Indicant Force Vector Position⁶⁾: 1-bullish domains, 9-bearish domains

Comment: This supports the stock market bear. The lone bullishly positioned force vector belongs to the DJU-(Chart).

Mid-term Indicant Force Vector Relative to Vector Pressure⁷⁾: 0-above pressure, 10-below pressure

Comment: This supports the stock market bear.

Mid-term Indicant Vector Pressure Position⁸⁾: 1-bullish domains, 9-bearish domains

Comment: This remains supportive of the stock market bear. The lone bullishly positioned vector pressure belongs to the DJU-(Chart).

Mid-term Indicant Force Vector Direction⁹⁾: 1-bullishly directed, 9-bearishly directed

Comment: This shifted violently in favor of the stock market bear nine weeks ago. After supporting the stock market bull the next six weeks, the shift four weeks ago continues supporting the stock market bear and increasingly so the past several weeks. The DJT-( Chart) penetrated bullish domains this past week.

Mid-term Indicant Vector Pressure Direction¹⁰⁾: 0-bullishly directed, 10-bearishly directed

Comment: This is now supporting the stock market bear.

Again, historical weekly reports, dating to 2002 remain available on the website. As 2008’s great bear market fades beyond the 10^th anniversary, just as the NASDAQ’s 2002 drop of 89% was also no longer reported in 2012, it is no longer necessary to report 2008 here. These historical references, however, do remain on the website. The website has stock market history dating back to 1900.

The above performance reflects status at the time of the updates. Abandoned securities have no impact to the above performance statistics and the historical report card. They always represent status at the time of that status and never changes. When securities become NLT (no longer traded), their performance levels are excluded from the report card at the time they become NLT. There are no retroactive adjustments. The number of stocks and funds tracked from week to week may differ because they are no longer traded or listed on major stock exchanges.

The Indicant started retaining records of abandoned stocks and funds in 2012. There are advantages of retaining records by expressing the consequences of an organization employing dilettante management and related corporate leeching. All organizations eventually expire. The primary causes of such expirations are corporate leeching, stupidity, and arrogance (without cause). {Note: the same is true of governments that fall prey to either economic leeching (FDR) and/or excessive egomaniacal behavior by its leaders (Hitler)}.

Comments about Mid-term Indicant Buy and Sell Signals

Signaling buy and sell has been minimal for several months due to a very strong bull cycle beginning in April 2020-Covid. That bull cycle was with large breadth. The few bottom dwellers are not yet configuring with bullish attributes. Bottom dweller buy signals have been muffled as the stock market bull lost momentum the past few months. The 2020-21 bull cycle is unprecedented with the strategic implication of strongly increasing capitalism. It may be followed by a stronger bear cycle. Capitalists increase the quality of life. Communist and socialists decrease it. Those latter two, if unchecked, result in no meaningful stock market. All goes to zero. So far, capitalism continues to be more influential, but being challenged by prevailing political power. Converging are high inflation and a shrinking economy.

Clicking this sentence will take you to this weekend’s Mid-term Indicant buy/sell signals.

The Short-term Indicant signals buy and sell for ETF’s, almost daily, provided the ETFs enjoy a buy signal or endure a sell signal. They are not included in the Mid-term Indicant summaries. These short-term models attempt participation in significant bullish spurts, while the Mid-term Indicant includes fundamentals and longer-term technical data to reject short-term trader nervousness. The Daily Stock Market Report reports status for the short-term model.

Economic Conditions – Inflation, Currency, Interest Rates

Click the above heading for a summary of hard economic indicators.

Although this paragraph has remained unchanged for several years, do not fall asleep. It will change. It will be significant and dramatic when it does. The markets, both free and controlled, are not constant. Control freaks in political power have 100% potential to create economic and social calamity with their desired result of a police state. That is why they encourage asset destruction. That would give them absolute power. That is never good for anyone but them.

Reported CPI is no longer healthy. The PPI, as reported, is now penetrating the stock market bull and the economy. The annual inflation rate is reported at 8.5%. Oil prices are up 68.2% from this time one year ago. Oil is up by $73.01/BBL (+202.7%) since Biden’s so-called election.

The Prime Rate, Discount Rate, and Effective Rate increased 25-basis points on weekending Mar 18, 2022. That is the first-rate change since the 100-basis points decrease two years earlier on Mar 20, 2020. Economic damage inflicted by the democratic party, germ warfare from their China pals, and other overstepping U.S. communistic politicians, and the self-proclaimed elites are now starting to manifest. The destination to a decreased quality of life has begun.

The 3-Month T-Bill shifted to Red Bull status on weekending Jan 28, 2022, after about two and a half years of enduring Yellow Bear status since Jul 19, 2019. Although still near zero, the T-Bill has risen a significant amount the past several weeks to the delight of the stock market bear. That behavior is now more visible on the chart as interest rates continue escaping the gravity of zero in a race to the clouds of stupidity.

The Euro dropped to Yellow Bear status on weekending Oct 22, 2021, after losing Red Bull status on weekending Jul 31, 2021. It continues residence in the domain of the Yellow Bear. The 2024-mean forecast is at $1.17 with more aggressive intrinsic modeling, projecting $0.88 to $0.94.

The Canadian dollar bounced above Yellow (weakening) during the week of July 17, 2021. That was the first bounce above Yellow since Sep 21, 2020. It surged above Red (additional weakening) during the week of Dec 14, 2021, but fell below Red the very next week and remaining in the zone of neutrality. Its 2024-mean forecast is $1.29CA with projected polynomials forecasting much weaker values ranging from $1.81CA to $1.88CA.

The Japanese Yen continues weakening since crossing above Red on Apr 2, 2021. Its narrow min-max points from 2017 through mid-2021 remains impressive with that tightness continuing through September 2021, when some additional weakening occurred. It now appears to be escaping that tight trading range from 2017 through mid-2021. It weakened severely the week of Apr 4, 2022, and now escaping its tight trading range. Its statistical mean forecast is at 110-yen/dollar by Dec 2024 while the aggressive polynomials are projecting a range of 151-155-Yen/U.S. dollar. It also strengthened during the week of the U.S. presidential election but has been holding above Red the past several weeks (weakening).

The British Pound lost Red Bull status in late July 2021 but bouncy around Red until weekending Dec 3, 2021, where it lost commitment to retaining Red Bull status. It fell into Yellow Bear status on weekending Dec 17, 2021, regaining Red Bull status, briefly, and again a Yellow Bear as of Mar 11, 2022 and falling further below Yellow. Its statistical mean forecast is at $1.33 with more aggressive polynomials, projecting around $0.97-$1.00 by Dec 2024. The last bearish cycle was deeper than the prior one suggesting a trend reversal favoring its bearishness.

The Bitcoin fell below $50,000-U.S. on weekending Dec 10, 2021 for the first time in several weeks. A few weeks after that, it bounced back above $50,000 with the threat of rising inflation exceeding that of the threat of rising interest rates. It has been comfortable around $40,000 for several months.

Gold endured Yellow Bear status on weekending Apr 2, 2021 and rejected that on weekending Apr 23, 2021. It finally abandoned an absence of bullish or bearish commitment and now a solid Red Bull. The Dec 2024-mean forecast is $1,850/oz. while the more aggressive polynomials are projecting a Dec 2024 value approximating $1,240-$1,310/oz. You can keep up with an approximation of this on the Indicant Daily Stock Market Report by tracking ETF#11-GLD.

Oil regained Red Bull status on weekending Dec 31, 2020, after moving above the domain of the Yellow Bear on weekending Jun 19, 2020. It had been bouncy around $40/bbl. for several weeks but became highly bullish since Biden’s so-called election. The Dec 2024-intrinsic and aggressive polynomial forecast remains below zero with the statistical mean forecast of $60/bbl. Saudi Royalty is very pleased with their new low IQ puppets in D.C. The Russians are also delighted with an interpretation they can retry conquering the world. There is some jawboning where the Royalty is being told to lower prices or the D.C. puppets will be tossed out.

The CRB Bridge Futures regained Red Bull status on weekending Dec 31, 2020, after abandoning Yellow Bear status on the week of August 3, 2020. That correlated well with a dumb populace and vote cheaters supporting the communistic takeover attempt of the U.S. It is now aggressively contributing to inflation with it regaining Red Bull status on weekending Feb 26, 2021. It also strengthened during the week of the U.S. election and has continued doing so with no sign of any countermeasures from the source of the inflationary problem; the democratic party, news media, lunatic masses in their deep state of tabula rasa, and now a little Russian guy attempting to conquer other nations. It continues being bullish and thus inflationary.

Mortgage rates regained Red Bull status on weekending Mar 12, 2021, after falling into Yellow Bear status on weekending Apr 12, 2019. As of weekending Dec 3, 2021, they were weak Red Bulls, but now increasingly militant to future home buyers. They continue showing signs of passing a bottom. This no longer remains a great time to finance real estate. However, it is still a good time, as interest rates will be triple prevailing levels before 2024.

The consumer price index and producer price index are now computing without the combined absolute value of threatening interest rates and inflation or deflation of 8%.

Mid-term Indicant Positions – Ten U.S. Indices

There were no new bull signals, and no new bear signals this week for the major indices along the mid-term cycle.

The Mid-term Indicant is signaling bull for two of the ten major indices. The two bulls are up by an average of 32.9% since their bull signals an average of 76.0-weeks ago and annualizing at 22.5%. The eight bears are down by an average of 3.1% since their bear signals one week ago.

The Mid-term Indicant Dow Jones Industrial Average performance is at $72.1 million. That beats buy and hold performance of $4.8 million on a $10,000 investment in the Dow stocks in 1900. The MTI S&P500 is at $4.43 million. That beats buy and hold’s $1.77 million on a Jan 6, 1950, $10,000 investment. The MTI-NASDAQ is at $2.87 million. That beats buy and hold’s $1.21 million on a Jan 29, 1971, $10,000 investment. The MTI-Dow Transports is at $44.0-million. That is better than buy and hold $1.06 million since a $10,000 investment on Oct 19, 1928. The Mid-term Indicant model beats buy and hold by 1,499.6%, 250.9%, 235.2%, and 4,135.5%, respectively, for these indices as of this past week.

There are two reasons why the Dow Transport index is included in the above summary. It is used by the Dow Theory Forecast, which has merit, albeit slowly. The second reason is the statistical friendliness and its near-perfect sinusoidal waves. It tends to stay committed to its underlying cycle of bullishness or bearishness more than other indices.

The Indicant’s percentage advantage over buy and hold does not change during bull signals as buy and hold and the Indicant moves at the same magnitude. The Indicant’s advantage only occurs during bear signals as the cash holds constant, while the stock market dives.

The Mid-term Indicant signaled sell for MF#22-ProFunds Ultra Short on April 3, 2009. It is down 99.9% since then. Although this is classically presidential post-election-year hold, the Mid-term Indicant was unable to signal buy and hold during 2009, 2013, 2017, and 2021 as the stock market bear remained in hibernation, for the most part, in those four presidential post-election years. Interest rates fell to historical lows in the 2008/9 recession and have persisted since then and thus giving rise to equity attractiveness to investors. Recent elections are highlighting left leaning political movements. The return of politburo wannabes in congress will offer this fund and others like it, profound growth opportunities at some future point, but not right now, even with the coronavirus inflicting damage to the economy and the corrupt election of the democratic (communist) party. Keep in mind, politburos confiscate. They are already confiscating your freedom. Conditions are mounting favoring strong profit potential in this economic climate, despite the newly forming political threat by the communistic movement now underway with the guise of climate change, racism, China virus-Covid rules, etc. Sociopathic political leadership is more common than not throughout recorded history. The presidential post-election year of 2021 successfully argued against historical trends of stock market bearishness. Low interest rates continue being credited with this and should be referred to as the Bernanke/Trump bull. Rest assured lying politicians take credit. And, as always, a populace believing the lies will eventually pay the price. Russia’s desire to dominate others is a new opportunity for this fund, as long as the dominated are not Americans. In that case, nothing has value, including gold.

Remember never to keep more than 20% of your investment resources into a single mutual fund. Sector investing in mutual funds is an extremely good way to mix your investments.

Long Term Indicant Positions - Dow Jones Industrial Average

The blue-chip Long-term Indicant Bull signal was at 2895 for the DJIA in November 1991. Keep in mind the Long-term Indicant generated only five bull/bear cycles since 1920.

The Dow is up 1,036.5%, annualized at 33.9% since the Long-term Indicant signaled bull 1,592-weeks ago. Economic data is the primary influence on the Long-term Indicant. Recessions, deflation, inflation, and unreasonable interest rates have not been strong enough to signal bear since that bull signal, including relative performance since that bull signal. Even with today’s economy and stock market position, the 1991 investor is still up triple digit amounts, which remains above average performance when considering long-term planning.

Influencing parameters in the LTI include prior bull cycles. The great bull market in the 1990’s was powerful enough to offset the 2008-2009 recessionary bear market in this long-term modeling.
