As I pointed in my first post I like to include links to prove my points and why I included a chart. Please include charts to support yours.
I'm not going to buy his book because I can find his ideas on the web + I'm looking for indicators that work in the next day-one week. Over the years I read of several indicators/"gurus" and proved they were all wrong or can be off by months and years. (link)https://socialize.morningstar.com/NewSocialize/forums/p/379703/3896435.aspx#3896435
It looks pretty reasonable that a market that went down over 10% will be up close to that in the next several months.
Since I can't change things that I posted I will not post here very much because I may make a mistake and/or want to change my narrative.
You are welcome to post on M*, any comment is welcome and we can discuss anything, I don't understand your comment "This board does not allow lively discussions because of the manner in which it is monitored." I do that all the time.

Hi Junkster, this is a continuation of our discussion.
My last post had a link to NYSE up/down volume. I don't know how to save charts on this site but here it is
If you don't mind supply links to support Zweig claims, just like I did..
Junkster: In fairness to Zweig his signal was based on two 9 to 1 days within 3 months. He noted in his book the failure of singular 9 to 1 days. More importantly it is also based on NYSE advance/decline volume and not the S@P - a huge and significant difference. This latest signal meets the criteria so we shall see if it has any accuracy. The point is BOTH of his momentum indicators came into play at the same time- a rarity. If this fails I would put much less emphasis on his indicators.
Edit. To quote myself on indicators. “ They should never be used as precise, absolute, black and white trading signals. Indicators are best used as clues or hints to future price action. Thus interpreting indicators is more art than a science........ What counts in trading is what the market is saying, not the indicators”
FD1000: There's is a small difference in principle between NYSE to SP500.
We had it twice or more in 2009, 2010, 2011 and didn't have it 2012-2019. This means that if you waited for the signal of 2 days within 3 months it never came.
Basically, the facts still stand, you get 1 and more every time the SP500 goes down over 10%...chart...and it's reasonable. After a 10% correction, you will get days of huge up/down volume.
So, a rule of thumb might be, every time the SP500 goes down more than 10% rebalance...or...even simpler, every time your stocks to bond is 5% off sync --> rebalance.
For my trades I look for indicators that tell me on a specific day when to buy and MACD is pretty accurate.

Here’s a detailed study of 2018. https://pensionpartners.com/2018-the-year-in-charts/
“II. Bear Markets and Recessions
Does a 20% decline in stocks mean a recession is coming? That’s the question everyone seems to be asking today.
Looking back at history, the answer is far from clear. This is now the 21st Bear Market since 1929. Of the previous 20, only 11 were associated with a recession (55% of the time).”
“Only 3 country ETFs finished positive: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and New Zealand. How many strategists had Qatar on their list of top picks for 2018?”
“XI. Happy New Year
In 2019, I predict one thing and one thing only: you will see many more surprises. That is the nature of markets.”

Whatev. Who ever denied that lots live outside their means? Not what we're talking about. .

Had to get back in on this. It is all connected so it is what we are talking about. If you're living paycheck to paycheck on $100k, you are living outside of your means. How can you possibly deny that? There are plenty of people that get by on half that. Maybe you shouldn't have a $500k home and Tesla.

Again with the blanket statements JoJo. I think that you're making a lot of presumptions that may not be so. Just as not everyone lives an unattainable lifestyle so to do they not have perfectly manicured finances. Do you know what full time nursing home care costs? Have you seen the cost for some everyday medications lately? Do you have any idea what an apartment/home, even modest ones, in Seattle, San Francisco, or New York run? I have no idea what any of these people's budgets are like but I'm willing to bet that most are not as irresponsible as you seem to be making them out to be.

@Mark,
I do entirely understand the cost of living variations across the states, however, if you can't afford to live there, you can't afford to live there. It's pretty simple. Smart finances would recommend your rent/mortgage being anywhere near 50% of your pay. If that's what it's going to be then you better move and live a better life elsewhere, even if your "pay" is less.
Agree to disagree about the irresponsibility. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say 70% of people live outside of their means. No, I don't have any data to prove that and don't care. I'll leave it at that.

Not to belabor this - but I retired more than 20 years ago making $70,000 at the time (1998).
I was maxing out my 403B, which was automatically deducted by employer. Where I worked we also contributed a sizable amount each pay to the employer sponsored defined benefit plan. I paid extra having opted for the most expensive (but better) plan. Seems to me I also paid extra for the best health plan available to employees. State and Federal taxes hit me hard. Also, mandatory Social Security. And monthly dues to our professional association were deducted. After all that I was lucky to see 50% of my gross pay.
Still had a house payment (downsized after retiring) and a payment on a new pickup truck. Where I worked (Detroit area) vehicle insurance rates were high to start with and even higher if you drove over 10 miles each way to work. No credit card debt or consumer loans. Lived pretty well (fitness center, trips to Florida, etc.) Probably had enough in non-retirement savings to last a month. After that would have had to start running up a credit line to stay afloat.
Just me. Others may have developed better thrift habits or might have had family members to help tide them over.

jeez louise, an awful lot of thrifty, frugal, prudent, MFO-approved saver types make $70k, or even $85k, and live paycheck to paycheck, and barely so

That's just poor budgeting then... Even at $70k, one should not have to live paycheck to paycheck unless he/she 1) has way too much debt (maybe should've bought a more modest house and pay full balances on credit cards) and/or 2) living well outside his/her means.
The truth hurts.

FYI: U.S. stocks edged higher Wednesday, boosted by optimism over trade talks and signs that the Federal Reserve will stay flexible with its interest-rate increases.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was recently 90 points, or 0.38%, at 23,878 while the S&P 500 also added 0.41%. A fourth consecutive climb for the benchmarks would be the first time since Sept. 14 they have both risen that many sessions in a row. They entered the day up more than 9% from their Dec. 24 lows but still off more than 11% from their 2017 records.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 87.%.
Major indexes had briefly dipped alongside oil prices and Treasury yields in midmorning trading before stabilizing.
Seven of the eleven S&P 5000 Sectors led by Energy, and Tehnology have positives numbers for the day.

Ted

@JoJo -
The median annual wage for air traffic controllers was $124,540 in May 2017. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $67,440, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $175,800.Apr 30, 2018
Air Traffic Controllers - Bureau of Labor Statistics
https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material.../air-traffic-controllers.htm
None of this of course tells us what their debt obligations are along with their cost of living based on location, medical bills, student loans, etc., etc., etc.. One should be careful with blanket statements. FWIW I'm related to one.

@Mark. ATCs make $80k+ at entry-level positions and on average earn more than $125k. I'm sorry, but that is plenty to live comfortably AND save. If they're living paycheck to paycheck there is a major spending problem.

A somewhat moribund (last updated 2012 or so) site that I've found excellent for investing in bonds is ... investinginbonds.com
I invest in munis, and this page (5 pages printed) was invaluable in understanding accretion and amortization, the asymmetrical treatment of market discount and market premium, the difference between original issue discount (OID) and market discount, etc.
http://investinginbonds.com/learnmore.asp?catid=8&subcatid=60
Perhaps not as important since 2014, when the new brokerage cost basis reporting requirements for bonds kicked in, but still essential to understanding these investments.
Lot's more on the site about all types of bonds, from basics to fine details.

Hi sir if u need find info re certain information bonds or company: Google cusip,
Moodys.Com to find out ratings of certain muni bonds and their previous prices (may need to get registered w free email account)
Google CUSIP usually give lots info and see many firms that may have hold the bonds in their portfolio
Call the firm itself that are selling bonds (like call Vanguard bond Desk schwab, td or Zions Direct 8005248875 ) and ask for previous info or red flag about these bonds before you buy them/find out if they been paying divs or if they are in troubles,... Most firms will give u their opinion if bonds doing ok
Also set up Google.com/alerts in ur Gmail account and gets stat info regarding certain bonds if they are not doing too well and u can decide immediately if u want sell them
(I.e. Att bankrupt)
(I. E. prosp Cap Corp bankrup)
Personally I buy bonds or High yields individuals bonds that are held by many Etf or bonds funds.. You know these bonds are held because the firms already fid their full research for you already before they bought and hold them in their portfolio
MSRB’s Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA®) is another resource that may give u plenty information regarding previous bonds
Also search for 'att default' and see if any problems before buying these critters
Hope these help

FYI: U.S. stocks jumped Monday, boosted by rallying technology shares, as officials from Washington and Beijing kicked off their latest round of negotiations over trade policy.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 98 points, or 0.42%, to 23,531, wiping out early declines. The S&P 500 jumped .70% and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.2%.
Investors are beginning the week with their focus on the U.S. and China’s negotiations, something many hope will help bring the two countries closer to a resolution in their trade fight.
Investors are beginning the week with their focus on the U.S. and China’s negotiations, something many hope will help bring the two countries closer to a resolution in their trade fight.
The fact that policy makers in the U.S. and China have agreed to meet is a positive sign, said Felix Lam, a portfolio manager at BNP Paribas Asset Management. Still, the key question is whether the two countries will reach a trade deal, Mr. Lam said.
“Any positive outcome from the trade talks would have a more long-lasting impact on the earnings trajectory of corporations in Asia,” he said, adding that delays, on the other hand, could hit corporate profits.
A broad rally in shares of rapidly growing technology companies pushed major indexes higher Monday.
Amazon.com , Netflix and Advanced Micro Devices jumped more than 3%, with Amazon’s gains putting it on course to end the day as the largest publicly traded U.S. company.
Those advances helped offset the latest slide in Apple , which retreated further for the year Monday. Worries about slowing iPhone sales and a dimmer revenue forecast sent the company’s shares sharply lower last week.
Nine of the eleven S&P 500 Sectors, led by Consumer Discretionary, finished in positive territory, only Utilities and Consumer Staples ended lower.

WF acquired the funds in 2005 and kept the no load shares as "Investor Shares" until 2015. In 2015 the Investor class shares were merged into the A class shares. So a search by (old) ticker comes up empty. Looking at the A share inception dates, WF started adding share classes in 2000.
Here's WF's announcement showing all the investor class shares (with tickers) and what they merged into.
https://www.wellsfargofunds.com/assets/edocs/communications/20151016-productalert.pdf
I recognize several of these Strong funds, including Muni Advantage (later named Strong Ultra Short Term Muni) (SMUAX), Advantage (later named Strong Ultra Short Term Income) (STADX), Asia Pacific (SASPX), Common Stock (STCSX), Enterprise (SENTX), Opportunity (SOPFX). See which ones you spot.
All the funds named above still exist in A class form.
Virtually all funds that are sold NTF pay fees around 0.35%-0.40%. These fees come out of fund assets. Whether they're broken out into a separate 12b-1 line item, or paid for by the manager out of inflated management fees, it's still the investor ultimately paying these fees.
The line item may be antiquated, but the underlying fee you're paying is definitely not. Which is why I seek out institutional class shares, or single share-class funds that don't participate in NTF programs.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/double-whammy-high-fee-mutual-funds-do-worse-11546630477
Fund managers who charge more than their peers often aren’t worth the extra cost, an analysis suggests

This is a company that rarely misses an opportunity to kick people when they're down. For example, not only did it fail to help people of its own volition after 2008 with their mortgages, it denied refinancing that should have been granted under the government HARP program. That resulted in hundreds of foreclosures.
https://www.housingwire.com/articles/46372-wells-fargo-reveals-software-error-wrongly-denied-much-needed-mortgage-modifications
So the fact that it couldn't recognize an opportunity for positive PR (even while costing very little) is no surprise.
Just to be fair and balanced, here's Fox Business News' take on banks that are helping out. It highlights three such banks: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank.
These banks help customers hit by partial government shutdown
https://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/these-banks-help-customers-hit-by-partial-government-shutdown
Seeing that Wells Fargo is working to improve the "customer experience", will it go nationwide with Starbucks in its branches? That's something it started in California a couple of decades ago but seemed to lose interest in. Just think - you could be drinking a $4 latte and helping out Wells Fargo at the same time.

FYI: The bond market is embarking on another year of Federal Reserve watching. After raising rates four times in 2018, the Fed is currently projecting just two moves this year.
Many economists are calling for slower economic growth, but it's not clear whether it will slow enough to derail Fed tightening. The U.S. still faces risks ranging from trade tensions to possible inflation, which suggests markets will remain volatile in 2019.
With rates likely to continue rising, albeit more slowly, what's a bond investor to do?
