Here's another chart to show you how important it is to watch the OIH (Oil Services Holder) as compared to the S&P500 Cash Index.
When the price of oil service companies rise too far relative to the rise in the S&P500, it represents a time to shift funds out of the S&P500 and into cash. And when the price of OIH drops severely relative to the S&P500, then it becomes safer to buy into the S&P500.
It can take a month to six months for these setups to play out. No indicator is perfect, but this has stood the test of many market cycles.

Would you not prefer buying oil stocks now as having greater upside potential ?

Exactly. I published a chart last week with that suggestion. Have you seen that chart yet? I'll find the link....

With S&P close to all time highs and defying gravity nothing could go wrong, its a new paradigm

Looks like OIH is not doing as well as the S&P. S&P is not in a hurry to roll over yet! Is that fair to say?
