Continued worry about the survival of the banking system pulled the major indexes deeper into bear territory.
Our Trend Tracking Index (TTI) for domestic funds/ETFs remains below its trend line (red) by -10.40% thereby confirming the current bear market trend. 
The international index now remains -20.43% below its own trend line, keeping us on the sidelines.

Very enjoyable reading in this evenings “TRACKER.”
I especially agree with your view:
“It would be far better to have all assets marked to market, see the bad financial shape many institutions are in, watch the Dow drop 2000 points, and be done with it.”
I have felt this way since the beginning and wish that the TARP had never been invented. Or the stimulus, or the auto bailouts, or the mortgage bill…
I see in the QA section that some people are still commenting on the blog content. My $0.02 is that it suits me fine as is. The only change I’d like to see is two posts on Friday to include one of your daily viewpoints in addition to the TTI charting.

Hi,
Based on the current Domestic TTI chart it looks like in order to get a good buy signal that we may be weeks and maybe months away. Are there any experts out there with any comments on this subject?

Ulli,
I can see that you use the TTI to determine buy and sell signals, but do you use any confirming indicator such as the Wilshire 5000 with maybe a 39 or 40 week m.a.?
Mr. Trendman
No, I don’t use any confirming indicators. If we’re wrong, our sell stop discipline will get us back to the sidelines.
Ulli…
