Short term reversal is probable here

28th May 2010 by Simon Comments Off

In my previous blog post ‘Dow gets close to Feb lows’I mentioned we were due for an oversold reversal. This was a strong move up today so i’m thinking this could be the trigger day. I’m really waiting for the DOW to cross it’s 20 period moving average on it’s 6 month chart, with a [...]

Dow get’s close to Feb lows

20th May 2010 by Simon Comments Off

We had another large selloff on the DOW today bringing us back close to February lows. Dow also closed below the 200 day moving average.

The market whipsaw survival guide!

18th November 2009 by Simon Comments Off

“The last time I saw this many bearish signals reverse was in early 2007. The brokerage stocks had been running like mad, but I knew the balance sheets on these companies were rotten with souring mortgage bonds.
Additionally, all of the sector data pointed to massively overbought conditions.
I remember repeatedly attempting to short the brokers and [...]

URGENT – Market has reversed and bears are now in control

3rd November 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Last week, 11%of all stocks (net)on the New York Stock Exchange broke through support levels, putting them on sell signals.

Just a quick market caution… i received a report that as of yesterday morning the New York stock exchange bullish percent index has reversed to “O’s”, meaning that the sediment has changed from a “bullish” stance to a “bearish” stance and the bears have taken control of the market.

WARNING: Prepare for a possible market crash in June

26th May 2009 by Simon 6 Comments

MARKET WARNING
This is not hype or sales pitch. It’s a FACT. The market could very easily — and probably will — (what every investor would have considered, by historical standards) crash! When we managed money on WallStreet through the ’90s and halfway through the 2000s, this is the kind of market we would lick our [...]

Why The Markets Are Collapsing

10th March 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Economic news continues to worsen week after week. As I will discuss below, Gross Domestic Product contracted at almost twice the previously reported pace in the 4Q of last year, and most analysts now expect a similar or worse slowdown in the 1Q.

19th February 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Here is an interesting article from our friends at www.investmentu.com. I prefer to wait for market confirmation before jumping in head first, but decide for yourself how you want to play this sector.
“Instead, business – and by extension, investing in businesses – is only about increasing profits, as Milton Friedman put it. And based on [...]
