Using Short Configuration Tables to Determine when it is Time to Short-sell a Stock . . .

In Step #3 of the Tutorial, we discuss calculation and assembly of Stock Configurations. Stock Configurations are combinations of moving averages which help us articulate whether it is time to Buy, Sell, Short, or Cover an individual stock by illustrating where the stock is going in relation to where it has been (i.e., direction).

Each week, after we have determined the Market Stage and assembled the Stock Configurations for each stock in our Universe, we look for Short Configurations among the stocks in our Universe. We do this by comparing each stock's configuration against the Short Configurations shown in the table for the appropriate Market Stage. If a stock in our Universe has a matching Short Configuration, we evaluate that stock for short-selling.

Please notice we do not Short-sell stocks except during Market Stages 1, 4 and 5.

Market Stage 1 - Uncertain, but probably just a Bear Market rally
15wk - DOWN
40wk - UP
5wk - DOWN
or 40wk - UP
Price of the stock - UP or DOWN
15wk - DOWN
5wk - UP or DOWN

 

Market Stage 2 - Uncertain, but possibly the 1st sign of a new Bull Market
DO NOT
SHORT
DURING THE POSSIBILITY OF A
NEW BULL MARKET

 

Market Stage 3 - Bullish: We are experiencing Bull Market conditions
DO NOT
SHORT
DURING A
BULL MARKET

   

Market Stage 4 - Uncertain, but possibly the 1st sign of a new Bear Market*
15wk - DOWN
40wk - UP
5wk - DOWN

* Note: Short-selling during a Market Stage 4 is more risky than short-selling during a Market Stage 5.

Market Stage 5 - Bearish: We are experiencing Bear Market conditions
15wk - DOWN
40wk - UP
5wk - DOWN
or 40wk - UP
Price of the stock - UP or DOWN
15wk - DOWN
5wk - UP or DOWN
