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.

JR.B asked: From this it looks like the WMA also went negative on December 17. Either I'm doing something wrong or the data is bad. Can you help set me straight?

Nasdaq or NYSE data is going to differ dramatically between sources. This is certainly true, though, I would not necessarily consider the data "bad." Rather, I think once you determine which data source to use you stick to that source.

I've put together a spreadsheet that compares a number of sources so that you can see them all in one place.

On another note, though, it does depend on the threshold you use for determining a BULL or BEAR condition.

You can download the ss if you so desire - I've put it on my blog under Downloads and Timing Indicators: Bear Catcher - Nasdaq NH-NL
