The eight factors used can be categorized as:
- macroeconomic (the first two indicators in the chart below),
- momentum (next two indicators in the chart),
- value (next three indicators), and
- growth (the last indicator).
The current Market Meter Average of 3.25 (see blue line at the bottom of the chart above) is slightly lower than the 3.50 average when the rating was last calculated in February, but remains as Neutral overall (Neutral range is from 2.51 to 3.50).
As shown in the right sidebar, the covered calls investing strategy corresponding to this overall Slightly Bullish sentiment is to "on-average sell 1% out-of-the-money covered calls for the nearest expiration month."
