Dow Jones

Dow Jones as of October 4, 2011

by Thomas Mullooly on October 4, 2011

Last week, we reviewed the action on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The date of that chart was September 27, 2011. In light of yesterday’s activity in the market, I have prepared a short, two minute video to review what is happening — just one week later. The great thing about point and figure charts is they allow us a clear view of what is happening RIGHT NOW.

We do not have to be bothered with predictions of where the market is heading.

Dow Jones September 27, 2011

by Thomas Mullooly on September 27, 2011

This is the Dow Jones Industrial Average (September 26, 2011 close). This is a 100-point box chart (each box along the side represents 100 points on the Dow Jones).

We have been range-bound between 11500 on the high side and 10700-10800 on the low end since early August.
The overhead resistance line now sits at 11400. So if the market continues its’ range-bound ways, we are going to have a big test if we can get up near that 11400-11500 point. A break THROUGH those levels would help put the market in a positive trend.

Of course, if the resistance line holds, we could be looking at more downside. It is still risky out there.

March 22, 2009

Don’t get hung up on the Dow Jones. The Dow Jones may not be a “relevant” yardstick for you to use. After all, it’s only 30 stocks…and you might not own ANY of them.

Tearing Apart the Headlines

March 7, 2009

Did you know General Electric (GE) posted record revenues last quarter?  That has not really helped their stock, has it?   Remember always, price is the ultimate indicator, which is why I rely more and more on charts.  Fundamental analysts and company management can pontificate all day long about market share, earnings and revenues.  If the [...]

Futures vs. Stocks

October 25, 2008

It’s a little embarrassing to hear media folks on TV and radio asking questions Friday morning like: “Do you think the stock market will open today?” Wow. First, it shows how clueless many people in the financial media really are about markets.  But questions like that also help promote the fear factor. Just reckless. Many [...]

Exxon reported nearly $12 billion in profits for the previous quarter recently. $12 billion! More net profits in one quarter, than ever recorded in the history of mankind. And what did the stock do? It went down. Numbers like $12 billion generate emotional responses: anger, jealousy, envy, and even pride. The media does a good [...]
