A number of European markets including the UK that went bear in February never turned back to being bull with the US.
I am working on a largely original system to rank the growth and value prospects combined with a country risk system. I am working on the written explanation which is taking more time than I thought. I will consider the first version a beta (although I ran it for myself for a number of years before the FT stopping publishing country P/Es.) and I hoping for lots of constructive criticism (especially from my friends at the Share Society, etc).

Very much welcome this initiative. It is generally accepted that investors are terrible at market timing therefore should not try. Even talk of trying gets some people agitated - so I'd brace yourself! For me the fact that market timing is tricky and most people get it wrong is not a good reason to shun the whole area. I also wonder about the effect a reliable method of market timing would have on volatility. My thoughts being that it would make trends even more extreme. Interesting to see the 4% model has gone bearish again. The market has gone a bit haywire in my opinion. I'm ignoring all indicators for a little while in the hope that a more clear direction will form soon.
