Bond Market Summary
Bond market decline slowed in May. But positive economy news, potential Fed tightening (not likely near-term), and labor inflation still disturb bond market investors.
Ecology Technology...Planting In Both Portfolios
A new sector holding is being initiated in “Ecology Technology”. This sector has experienced about 4 years of lagging performance, but may now be poised to become an outperformer.
Jokes of the Month
A plethora of jokes this month. In the past, Floyd Norris (New York Times) has observed a correlation between Leuthold Group joke flow and the state of the stock market. Each of the following jokes received at least one first place vote and your editor has decided to award blue ribbons to all.
New Sector Introductions
Last month’s edition of the Green Book, highlighted several new sector areas of coverage which we anticipated rolling out this month. In all, there are eleven new sectors now included in SS Score rankings.
On the Borderline
Major Trend close to reverting to negative status with ratio at 0.95. Shades of 1968, that great speculative garbage market. 1996 is looking like a replay...it’s just like old times...greed, excitement, performance chasing, and no earnings IPO’s.
Points Worth Making If I Can Stop Quaking
Baby boomers are investing in stock funds at the rate of $100 per month for every living American!
Technology: Historical P/E Comparisons
Andy Engel’s new “broad” Technology Composite, an all-inclusive representative tech group and Jim Floyd’s “Super Tech” sector, comprised of internet, communications and networking companies.

Will A Pair Of “Zeros” Beat A Flushed Stock Market?
Looking out ten years, can today’s overvalued stock market outperform 7% Treasury zeros?
