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:

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.

Here is a snapshot of what is happening right now:

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.

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 [...]

Who’ll Save Lehman?

September 13, 2008

That was the headline I found over at CBS Marketwatch.  As usual, the news media is whipping (anyone who will read) into a frenzy about Lehman Brothers.  More news may be forthcoming about Lehman — between the time I finish writing this and the time you read this. I have no idea what’s going to [...]

Point & Figure Charts Tell A Better Story

August 30, 2008

There’s a great story I read in the New York Times. It’s part business/part technology. While it delves into some pretty sophisticated topics, I’ll try and summarize it as best I can right here. The author, Anne Eisenberg, wrote about an experimental website, www.many-eyes.com. This is a site where visitors can upload data they want [...]
