I noticed over the weekend the incredibly weak price trend of just about all stocks and ETF’s  that are related to India.  I learned a long time ago that when the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates to combat inflation, it eventually leads to a  market decline.  When the Fed thinks that the economy is [...]

On Saturday,  I had the opportunity to present for 2.5 hours at the Worden software work-shop.  I showed the audience how I use TC2007 to manage my trading. It was gratifying to see the warm reception I received from a  local, primarily older adult group.  I just finished two courses at the university and have [...]

I thought you might like to know a way to buy a stock for little money down using deep in-the-money call options.  I became aware of this option (pun intended!) by reading Lee Lowell’s wonderful book on ways to get rich from options. A call option provides someone the right (but not the obligation) to [...]

I started teaching two classes on technical analysis last week and will explain more of my concepts and include informational links, as many students will be new readers.  My General Market Index (GMI) keeps me trading with the general market’s trend.  The GMI is a count of 6 short and long term indicators.   Because I [...]

The QQQQ completed the 37th day of its up-trend on Friday.  However, there were only 16 new highs and 5 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Friday.  Five of the 16 were on my IBD100 lists:  VNUS, GMCR, HANS, LINC and INT.  All of these 5 but  VNUS were also on the [...]

The QQQQ up-trend completed its 32nd day on Friday.  When will the up-trend end?  No one knows.  My strategy is to hold growth stocks as long as the up-trend is in place.  Prior up-trends the past 3 years  have lasted as long as 86 days.  So the current up-trend may have a time to go, [...]

There were 3 new highs and 106 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Wednesday.  The QQQQ completed the 17th day of its short term down-trend.  It would have to rise a lot more to begin a new up-trend.  Still, I cannot resist buying an occasional strong stock during a counter trend rally. [...]

There were 7 new highs and 1,221 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Friday.  The QQQQ completed the 14th day of its short term down-trend within a longer term down-trend. I heard on Fast Money that the AAII survey has the most bearish reading ever.  Furthermore, the momentum indicator in IBD for [...]

The GMI and GMI-R have been zero since Tuesday’s close.  There were 3 new highs and 424 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Wednesday. The Worden T2108 Indicator is now 21% and heading down from the reading of 89% on January 6.  In the November swoon, this indicator bottomed at 1.2%.  So [...]
