Details: Last week’s majority sentiment from the survey was 54.3% Higher, and the Crowd Forecast Indicator prediction was 53% Chance Higher; the S&P500 closed 3.50% Higher for the week. This week’s majority sentiment from the survey is 57.6% Higher with a greater average confidence from those who responded Lower. Similar conditions have occurred 29 times in the previous 277 weeks, with the majority sentiment being correct only 48% of the time and with an average S&P500 move of 0.47% Lower for the week. Based on that history, the TimingResearch Crowd Forecast Indicator is forecasting a 52% Chance that the S&P500 is going to move Lower this coming week.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Post holiday euphoria, maybe.
• Earnings
• INDICATORS
• January effect
• up trend
• Todays performance.
• Going with continuation of the recent uptrend. Some resistance at 2730; strong resistance at 2800-10.
• Economic outlook.
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Political behaviors from the executive and legislative branches are becoming detrimental to the economy and the trust of investors. The working class is going through lots of stress with lower income and cos of living increasingly expanding to areas previously stable; instead of one job nowadays 1 FT and 1 PT. Medical and other work benefits increasingly more expensive and often no longer available with their jobs.- America slowing become a third world economy!!!
• Market has been straight up for several days and the earnings reports were not impressive.
• A Stansberry Research email suggests a pullback, possibly a retest of the Dec. 24th lows before the uptrend continues. Market Trend Signal gave a general market “sell” signal on Dec. 21st. This is only the 5th “sell” signal in the last 20 years! The prior “buy” signal was on June 8th, 2016!
• due for a correction
• Markets need a bit of rest from the dramatic rally from the December lows.
• exhaustion of momentum
• Resistance levels will hold and downside action will follow.
• Al Brooks analysis. Its over for the S&P
• It has been up non stop with two very tiny Pullbacks but market needs to have some selling to remain sane n to entice buyers
• Too many up days
• RSI hour and Hour 4 Are up high with room to drift lower.
• Too much uncertainty. This recent upmove is climactic and therefore unsustainable.

• The value if multilateral free trade.
• When you sell put or call options how many days to expiration one should place the orders in general (no earnings play)?
• How effective is Elliot Wave Theory?
• Market timing and finding long term trends on all Time Frames
• Why and How Short term traders and investors are made to lose almost always. 2. How to trade or invest with majority of transactions by algos.

Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?
• I like the experts showing the chart during the discussion, for it’s much easier to understand the point of view. Thank you very much.
• Big question is Can small short term traders and investors stay and continue fight with computer trading? I think most small investors and traders will not be able to win against the 70% of trades done by comupters
• What would America be in the next 10 years ? How do we change our priorities in regard to educating our children instead of expending our money keeping people in prison? ( FYI: USA spend on average child education $9,000/yr while keeping 1 person in prison $58,000/yr- Is this a smart way to invest in our future as a nation?
