Capital Signal Board

A clean buy / hold / trim framework for broad markets, sectors, and individual stocks. The model rewards improving conditions, punishes credit/earnings deterioration, and avoids blindly buying every dip.

1. Choose the asset type

The core macro rules stay the same. Extra inputs appear for sectors or single stocks.

Examples: S&P 500, QQQ, energy ETF, bank stock, AI leader.
Used only for history labels.

2. Output

This is the decision output. Use tranche sizing instead of all-in/all-out moves.

3. Core market levers

These are the durable signals I would prioritize for general investing triggers. Use the small reference links on each label to check inputs quickly.

Trend prevents fighting broad momentum.
Down is good only if damage is stabilizing.
Falling from lower inflation is bullish; falling from credit panic is not.
Energy and inflation shocks pressure multiples and consumers.
This is the master override. Bad credit blocks dip-buying.
Prices follow earnings over time.
Healthy rallies broaden; fragile rallies narrow.
Best buys often happen when fear peaks, not when it is still accelerating.

4. Sector-specific checks

Use these for sector ETFs or industry groups.

4. Stock-specific checks

Use these for individual stock decisions. This adds quality and idiosyncratic risk.

5. Notes and decision log

Decision logic

Buy

Market opportunity plus improving macro, stable credit, and supportive earnings.

Hold

Mixed conditions. Do nothing unless your pre-set price target hits.

Trim/Sell

Market strength while macro, credit, earnings, or valuation are deteriorating.

Hard rule: If credit/liquidity is worsening, the model blocks aggressive buying even if prices are down and rates are falling.
