MyTrendTimer Financial Market Trend Timing GC

Publication of the MyTrendTimer Report was late due to holidays. Strong U.S. and Japanese economic data helped Asian stock indexes to gains of 1 percent and more on Monday, and sent Japanese government bonds to a 2 1/2 month low as investors eyed a possible Bank of Japan rate rise. With the Dow industrials standing at a record high, oil prices at multi-month lows and the economy chugging along at a better pace than what some had been expecting, it's hard to see what could upset stock investors. Oil prices retreated below $53 a barrel on Tuesday, as investors doubted OPEC's resolve to trim production and instead focused on the mild winter and high fuel stockpile in top energy consumer the United States.
