STOCK MARKET MODELER(tm) (c)Dr Jeff Software Co. 2009 ============== SMM DATA GUIDE ============== The "Stock Market Analyzer" contains 3 independent models: 1. Market Forces -- 10 independent "forces" 2. Technical Levels -- index levels of the DOW, NDAQ, S&P, BKX 3. Calendar -- seasonal, daily, Holidays, quarter-end, and option expirations (with pres. election years factored in) Only the first 2 models require user input data -- data which is highly subjective. This guide provides an updated baseline set of suggested current Market Force and Technical Levels values based on current conditions. These values will be adjusted frequently, as conditions change. Dr Jeff encourages users to experiment with their own set of values, and perform "what if" conjectures. CURRENT VALUE SET Dr Jeff hereby offers a suggested set of values for the "Market Forces" and "Technical Levels" models (user should supply the "VIX" value and the technical index "Current Level" values): Market Force Str Value | Index Support Resist Symbol 1- Geo-Political 5 60 | DOW 9,300 10,000 $DJX 2- Oil/Energy 3 79 | NAS 2,000 2,170 $NDX (NAS 100) Reverse: Yes | S&P500 980 1,080 $SPX 3- Interest Rates 8 0 | BKX 19 50 $BKX 4+ Dollar Strength 8 55 5+ Economic Data 8 25 | Weights MF Tech Cal 6+ Earn/Guid/News 5 60 | 10 8 6 7+ Short Interest 7 70 8+ Sidelined Funds 7 75 9+ Sentiment/Inert 6 45 10- Volatility 5 ->use the "VIX" (automatic calculation when value supplied) [current VIX = 22, off its recent historic high of 87] MODEL OUTPUTS Dr Jeff Index (Market Index) = -2 [-100 to +100] Tomorrow (Mon) = +2.0% PERFORMANCE (Last 10 days): "Tomorrow" Correct 5/10 LAST UPDATED: 10/23/09 MARKET FORCES Model The "Market Forces" model identifies, weights and valuates the top 10 forces acting on the stock market as a whole. The user adjusts the weights, and provides all valuations subjectively. This model is a market "electronic spreadsheet," in that it supports "what if" conjectures. Simply change a few parameters, and instantly see how it affects the market. Market Force Values The "values" (range of 0-100) of the Market Forces model are subjective user estimates, with the value selected representing a percentage of a parameter's normal range -- with "0" indicating a non-existent force, "50" a neutral force, and "100" a strongest possible force. Moreover, the Market Forces "value" is normalized to 0 for the default settings of all forces set at 50 (neutral). The "Volatility" parameter is related to the "VIX" (Volatility Index), and thus has its value recomputed with each change in the VIX value (user supplied). The "Oil/Energy" parameter has a correlation reversal checkbox. CAVEAT: NO OUTPUT IS INVESTMENT ADVICE, AND ALL DATA ARE USED AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO CLOSE: if online, click browser BACK button
