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 identical to the 3.25 average when the rating was last calculated in June. The ratings in each of the eight factors are identical to the result obtained in June. This 3.25 overall rating is in the Neutral range (Neutral range is from 2.51 to 3.50).
As shown in the right sidebar, the covered calls investing strategy corresponding to this overall Neutral sentiment is to "on-average sell 1% out-of-the-money covered calls for the next options expiration month" (which is Nov2013 in this instance).
Your comments or questions regarding this post (or the details related to any of the eight factors used in this model) are welcomed. Please email me at the address shown in the upper-right sidebar.
