The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'll summarize my timing dashboard as follows:
* every intermediate timing signal I follow is red with the exception of BC SMA Slope and BC 99D and the (nearly meaningless) seasonal timing signal.
* short term signals are all bearish except those firing at tops - because there hasn't been a top in about 7 weeks.
* this all went red in 3rd week of Feb, of course. It's Tariff Time! Total score went back to -7 after a nice quick rebound from the year-end '24 sharp selloff.
* Of note on the BCs, all US asset classes are nearing Neutral on the SMA Slope; and are bearish on the weekly and daily PPO/MACDs. The worst is SmallCaps. They have all dropped to below or flat with their 33-week MAs.

EAFE is on a run to the upside.

FWIW I have been 15% Large Cap and 10% EAFE since 4th week Feb and the rest high yield income and cash. (and 2% short TSLA).

A right bloody tantrum mate!
