Accountability Report

Another previously favoured seasonal trade has reached the end of its current period of seasonal strength, General Electric (GE $31.69). In addition, the stock’s strength relative to the S&P 500 Index has turned neutral at best and its short term momentum indicators have rolled over from overbought levels. The stock originally was favoured technically and seasonally on November 10th at $30.42. The stock no longer is favoured.
