General
This blog can be used as a guide for long term overall stock market direction. It can also be used to buy and sell(long term) the S&P 500(an overall stock market bellwether) at the appropriate timing designation via stock symbol SPY. It is recommended for people who want to put their conservative money to work in a low risk situation while having the freedom to monitor and select independently the timing of these funds without having to deal with expensive brokerage fees, unwanted losses, or generally unattractive returns on investment.
The Buy/Sell Signals
In order to have a confirmed "buy/sell" signal, the 2 charts need to both say "buy" or "sell". Luckily for you this blog will tell you when this is occurring without having to be an expert at chart reading. When the 2 charts present themselves as "buy/buy", the background on the blog will be green. When the 2 charts present themselves as "sell/sell", the background on the blog will be red. Any other variation will be black and considered unimpressive(do nothing).
To give you an idea of how often a "buy/sell signal" occurs, a confirmed "buy"(buy/buy) would have been issued in 2009 twice, 2010 twice, and 2011 once. A confirmed "sell"(sell/sell) would have been issued in 2009 once, 2010 once, and 2011 once.
