Summary

All global indexes we track remain on major sell signals this month. Long term investors are in cash or hedged and will remain so until major buy signals. By staying disciplined to our trading models, we managed to stay firmly in the black in 2008 while global indexes suffered heavy losses.

Unlike other analysts, we do not provide predictions or forecasts for the new year, but simply continue to stay disciplined to our trading models and manage risk. Happy new year, and thank you for your continuous support.
