The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The 2 links I use to monitor BCC signals are:

St. Louis Fed (FRED): S&P 500 (SP500) | FRED

barchart.com - Technical chart

These are not as good as Zeelotes' posts, but can be checked as needed. I only use the BCC=0 signal, and so look for:

Is the S&P 500 higher than a year ago. (SMADiff signal)

Is the recent S&P 500 high more than 5 months ago. (DBE signal)

Then switching to the barchart NHNL chart, is $MADQ weighted moving average (9) below zero. (NHNLDiffB signal)

What I get today is:
SMADiff is Bullish
DBE is Bullish
NHNLDiffB is Bearish
BCC is not 0, so stay in the market.

As noted in other posts, the BCC=0 signal only avoids about half of bear markets.
