SKI Update Bold print in Tables highlights changes from the prior week.

Update Summary: Current USERX price = 16.04

THE 92-96 INDEX SELL SIGNAL WILL BE GENERATED ON MONDAY 9/11/06 UNLESS PRICES RISE ON MONDAY. THAT WILL OFFICIALLY END THE BULL MARKET. It will be a double sell pattern.

Last weekend's Update was bullish, expecting a breakout to the upside from the short-term buy signals on 8/29 and 8/30/06. I re-read it now to make sure that I had written that a such a rise would generate short-term index sell signals and that prices had to go through those sell signals to the upside to avoid the 92-96 index sell signal (such a sell signal would end mechanical SKI's definition of a bull market). That's what happened this week, as prices broke above the prior USERX highs and other gold stock indices similarly did the chart technicians' definition of a breakout on the traditional day after the Labor Day weekend. But SKI still had the short-term sell signals that would be generated on any rise. Those sell signals were generated on Wednesday (9/06/06) as USERX went up for the 6th consecutive day (such a run can mark a high, but by itself, when it also marks a low, is 50-50%). I did not know whether the short-term sell signals would stop the market and initiate a great decline (the odds were truly 50-50), but Thursday's immediate hard decline off of those short-term signals strongly suggested trouble for bulls.

The 92-96 index is within one day of generating its sell signal. I wrote to shorter-term investors (alert subscribers) on Thursday that Jeff was selling 50% and then wrote to everyone on Friday morning to move to 100% cash. This coming sell signal is, of-course, consistent with the 5/17/07 Death Run. The bull market, according to SKI, is ending. MUCH MORE HISTORY FOLLOWS FOR SUBSCRIBERS.
