Value-Momentum stock data as of 2/2/2017 shows the following when analyzed using the yet to be released Kipling Tranche spreadsheet. Six out of over 6,500 stocks passed the screen.
Tranche Momentum Recommendations: FUL and KLAC are two new stocks to this list. If you examine the following worksheet you find this information.
- All stocks are performing above SHY.
- UFS is suspect due to the negative “Golden Cross” (X/O) indicator. The red cell indicates the 13-Day EMA lies below its 49-Day EMA. This is an impending sell signal.
- Based on REDA information, PLCE, FUL, MAR, and MPG are the strongest candidates as all have a Group ranking of 2. While MAR holds the top spot with a 2.01 rating, its short-term or HA2 ranking is red.
- FUL and MPG are the two ETFs left standing and MAR is priced about the same as its 13-Day EMA.
- When running these six stocks through the PnF Relative Strength wringer, all but UFS are outperforming VTI.
- In summary, the best bet for inclusion in a portfolio is MPG and I might take a chance on KLAC, even with a #4 Group rating.

Lowell: It looks to me like the PLCE stock is the stock with the negative golden cross.
Am I reading this corrrectly?
Mark,
Correct. As the spreadsheet is set up, the “Golden Cross” (X/O column) is green when the 13-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is priced above the slower moving 49-Day EMA. When the cell is red or negative, the faster moving 13-Day EMA is priced below the 49-Day EMA. PLCE is showing a negative “Golden Cross” at this time and that is a warning signal to sell – or at least consider selling.
