Just make sure you stay consistent with your data provider. I have bought puts in individual stocks over the past week so I guess the SPY puts could work. I have never bought or sold an option for an index either. Kris,

One of his strategies was to purchase call options on the S&P 500 when his indicators predicted an upturn in the market. Now I've never purchased an option on an index but would it be a worthwhile strategy to adopt here if we are looking at a continued correction? (buying puts on an index I mean)... and alternatively, on the rebound buying calls?

I bailed out of GRMN much too early and ignored the big picture. Well, I recently sold out of EDU as well and took the profits (much larger than the GRMN gain). I will continue to follow EDU for a possible $60-$100 run. Steven,

Typically, over the last 10 years I have just left my 401K account sitting in several funds to ride the ups and downs of the market - losing those gains. Thanks to the education you have provided, I started following the NH-NL since the March correction. By noticing the number of increasing NLs that were starting to show up over the past few months, I moved all funds straight to cash in June with anticipation of a shake-up - and it happened! The number of red-flags that continued to show up was right on the money. I am now waiting for a movement of strength with the NH-NL along with the 50Rs before I make a move back in (since I can't move this money around as fast as I could with my brokerage account). Currently holding in my brokerage account with a new position on EDU only - up 8.85% . There could be a possible retracement back to $59.00 so I can get 2.5R out of this one again. If it can break the 59.00 area, I would be interested to see if your $60-$100 theory comes into play here soon in the next few months as long as the market can hold up. Hi Chris,
