Bank Stocks Point and Figure Analysis January 2012

by Thomas Mullooly on January 30, 2012

How healthy are the big banks? No one knows the details, but we can get a pretty good idea of what investors think of banks, by simply looking at the point and figure charts in this sector. In fact, we can look at the entire banking sector, the entire financial sector (not just banks) — and the relative strength of these sectors. It’s a worthwhile look!

Point And Figure ChartWe close this video with the grand-daddy of all financial sector charts: Lehman Brothers from 2008.

Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, no current or prospective client should assume that the future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Changes in investment strategies, contributions, or withdrawals may materially alter the performance of your portfolio. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that any specific investment will either be suitable or profitable for an investor’s portfolio.

If you are relying on a blog post for specific investment advice, you are making a huge mistake. Please speak with an investment adviser before making ANY investment decisions.

If you do not have an investment adviser, we encourage you to contact Mullooly Asset Management at 732-223-9000, or through our website. Under no circumstances should the content discussed here to be considered specific investment advice.

Positive Trend Can Be Your Friend

by Thomas Mullooly on November 1, 2011

After a good run in late October, the last day of October AND now the first day of November are off to a thud. What’s happening?

There is a significant difference between the market action in late July – early August and now. The drop in August was enough to break support lines. But at the present time, we are operating in a positive trend… a big difference. While the market carries a long-term negative (bearish) outlook, there will be times where the short and intermediate term is positive.

For example, in 2008, we had similar long term bearish market tones, but yet we had a sustained three month rally starting in late spring that made (guys like me) scratch our heads. I would also add the following:

Big Changes Ahead for Oil?
