GENERAL COMMENTARY: The December asset allocation projection again carries neither Capitalization, nor Growth/Value bet.  MPT bottom-up model performance, relative to the S&P 500, was average in November.  The Aggregate top-down model, remains Bearish at "-2," this week.  The Technical Model improved a bit, but remains Bearish at (-2).   The tenor of the Top-down Earnings Model (-11.6) degraded for the first time in 2 months, and remains negative in amplitude and Bearish in trend.  The official reading on the economy for Q3 of 2019, was  2.1%. MPT's Earning Momentum model suggests a Q4, '19 GDP at +0.9%. Yields were higher, and spreads widened to 23 b.p. (2 to 10 year).  See the weekly Insider Commentaries, and the monthly Strategist, (Green Book) for further details and interpretation.  The Dollar was slightly lower at 97.66, but we expect it to challenge 100 (Par) before year-end.  Gold also slipped to  $1465.10, and is positioned for a year-end-rally.  Buy.  Inflationary Forces are toward higher levels in both the short, and the long-run with a recent data release showing consolidation in the GDPNOW slow moving CPI model in the 3.3% area (1-month Annualized).

The Market Cycle, in terms of MPT's "Market Clock," remains 9:00. Sell.
