Hi WEagle,

I keep a lot of Breezes charts.

He is quite methodical on his reviews, and I feel they make great history.

So my most recent dated August 13th.

Note he has the C of a big IV complete.

That puts us in (5) of 5 of the larger cycle (I) is in its terminal wave. We are either in a 1 or as Cheif had posted a possible 2 wave but I think he was referring to the Dow. NOT ALL WAVES HAVE THE SAME WAVE STRUCTURE.

So this mornings decline could be the start of continuation of the a 2of the Five and/or the start of a 3 of 5 in other waves.

3's are what is called the recognition wave - powerful waves that result in the covering of short positions - thus the "recognition" label.

Running flats are often found here as well (A number 2 wave would be a possible running flat). That would make a 1 extended in appearance initially.

When the (I) does morph into a (II), then a retrace to the 50 to 61.8% of the Wave (1)'s run up will happen 72% of the time.

That IV wave started as low as 1200 and as high as 2900. so 50% to 61.8% of a 1700 decline will impact almost all stocks . Now I'll be keeping my dividend payers, but anything that doesn't pay a dividend will create a taxable event and possibly allow a purchase at a lower price or more shares at the same cost basis.

It could also just be a good time to take some cash out and run on the market's money.

It will require a thorough review of all holdings.

I do not feel comfortable shorting - that's just me. In 2000 I shorted AMAT perfectly and the next day I covered - I'm just not comfortable with an unlimited risk. I can hold a dividend payer forever if I have the right cost basis. That's just me.

Selling out and the 2 becoming a running flat is the bad risk of the transition(as you'll lose your position and have to buy back in at a higher cost basis and pay taxes on the first gain - ouch.

Safe to say how the (II) acts will be the tell.

Note that (I) took from 1990 to 2020 - 32 years, so it could be a long time of depressed prices.

No doubt the nimble will be riding this terminal wave which has yet to confirm a solid 2,3,4 5 of 5.

So we have time on our side, BUT THAT (II) LOOMS LARGE OUT THERE!

That's just my read, I could well be wrong on E wave reads.

Thanks to Breeze for keeping us updated!

Bob
