Monday Morning Chartology

The S&P is in a critical position. If it bounces off the 1101 level and recovers above 1172, the Market will simply have endured a significant test. Breaking 1101
suggests more downside (1041, 1009).

You can clearly see the magnitude of GLD’s extension above its long term up trend.

Here is another technical opinion:

The VIX is high but not rising versus the prior week.

The stock price of Boeing, BA, has traded into its Buy Value Range. Accordingly, it is being Added to the Dividend Growth and High Yield Buy Lists. Both Portfolios own 75% positions in BA, so additional shares can be purchased--just not at
this time.

The stock prices of SEI Investments, SEIC, and Donaldson, DCI , have traded into their respective Buy Value Ranges. Therefore, they are being Added to the Aggressive Growth Buy List. The Aggressive Growth Portfolio does not own SEIC and may Buy shares later. It owns a full position in DCI; so no additional shares will be purchased.
