Fund Rankings Update, 5/8/2009

Weekly Average Momentum Index (AMI) rankings of SSPP, nSSPP, SELECT, ETF have been posted at: http://yechen.pan.googlepages.com/

Job number is not as bad as expected, and the results of the stress test on the largest 19 US banks removed the uncertainty on the Wall Street. The S&P 500 index closed at 929, up 5.9%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 4.4% for the week, while the Nasdaq composite index gained 1.2%. Financial and energy sectors are the winners this week.

After falling below its 28 week exponential moving average in June last year, the S&P 500 index finally climbed above the trend line this week. Its momentum(STO[15,1]), at an extremely high level of 94.6, indicates that the rally will keep going on for a while. However, we may see it come back down to test the trend line. We need to see a successfully re-test of the trend line to validate this uptrend.
