EEM continues To Outperform The S&P500



On Friday, September 14th I made some bullish comments about the overall market and that I was long EEM and the NASDAQ. As you can see in the above chart, EEM has rallied and made new highs for the year.

I scaled out of a portion of my long position today because my minimum price objective was reached. I will trail a stop below the trendline for the remaining shares that I have long.

You'll also notice how the relative strength line is rising indicating that EEM is stronger than the S&P. EEM and the NASDAQ are making new highs for the year while the S&P has yet to make new highs...In the long run, it pays to position yourself in the strongest markets.

Hi Kevin,
Since the Nasq bullish move is not supported by S&P500, is this divergence bearish? Or you think the Nasq will lead the S&P 500?

Hi Jordan,

I think the S&P500 is lagging and will eventually test the year high..

Arent you a little conservative in your price target... the head and shoulders bottom should give you a price target of around 160?

Hi Andrei,

I only took profits on half of my position...I'm still long and holding...There are pockets of weakness in this market (such as the homebuilders) so I think it's best to take some profits when the market gives them to me...

Hi Kevin,

Is it possible that you could share a little bit of your view on EUR/USD. It seems it is going up without any stops.
