Berney; RE:" BKX.X - Bank Index "
>the Model uses only my FA and pays no attention to TA. It's not designed to do anything but beat the Index.
By index, I assume you mean, the SPX-500 ? (or the OEX-100 ?)

Here is the Banking Index - most stocks follow the trend of the index fairly closely. Right now, the index's trend has sold on down to its UpTrend line - so, if the trend continues - this would be a good place to move some capital there. I prefer simply buying BKX.X rather than any single stock: today, for example the typical component was down -1%, whereas the index was down only -0.5% (three or four stocks were positive). The ones with interesting daily candlesticks right now are NB CCI CMB USB BK JPM FLT WB MEL.
If you have F/A ratings on the stocks in this index, please cut this list and then repost it with your ratings, Berney.
I would like to measure the BerneyRating {grin} for the entire BKX.X index, given these known index weights. It would be some work, but we could then compare it to, say - XBD.X BrokerDealers, or DRG.X BigDrugz, for example: 'beating the index', to me - means that the stock beat the sector index that it is a component of. What we want to know is what sectors will beat the S&P-500 index.
The TYX.X 30-Y Treasury Index is at 5.95 today... and it's rising fast (with drop in the USD; and GOX.X shot up) which does not bode well for BKX.X as capital is their raw materials cost. That being said, they are sitting on their UpTrend Lines, and mechanically speaking, they are where DRG.X was a couple of days ago.
