Questions! Mr. Tom

1. Website: Replys. How do you post the quote from a reply so that it says i.e.,

So and so says (and then the enclosed box around the quote)?

2. Allocations: How do you come up with your allocations i.e., S=70, I=30? Do you have some sort of formula?

3.Indicators: Sometimes you say your indicators tell you to do this and that in regards to the market. What are you referring to?

I'm just curious?

Instead of hitting Reply, hit "Quote".

Nothing scientific.When I'm being aggressive I get in the S and I fundsrather than C, and depending onhow the dollar is doing, I decide which which one (S or I) to use heavier. I'll use C if the small caps start lagging.

3. Indicators: Sometimes you say your indicators tell you to do this and that in regards to the market. What are you referring to?

Good question. I don't mention them enough...
The main ones are the ARMS 10 day moving average, the put/call ratios, Rydex fund ratios, the McClellan Oscillator (overbought/oversold indicators), moving averages, bullish/bearish sentiment numbers, new highs/new lows breadth indicators, volume.

The three legs of the bull market are:

Valuation - which compares S&P 500 forward earning vs. the 10 year treasury note yield.

Psychology - which is basically market sentiment

Monetary Conditions - availability of money like interest rates, MZM money supply, yield curve, etc.
