Stock Market Double Dip or Continuation Pattern?
March 10, 2011 By 2 Comments
For the last 4 weeks we have been trading in a sideways range of about 40 points on the SP-500. Looking at the chart we can see that that range is now narrowing down into a tighter range which is identifiable as a triangle chart pattern. This is considered to be a continuation pattern of the overall trend but is that what we are seeing now? [Read more...]

A hidden gem on CNBC.com!

Charles Carlson highlights key elements in trading:
It is very rare that I find any useful comments on CNBC.com from a “pro” or “strategist” but it does happen from time to time! The problem is CNBC.com publishes what sells and not necessary what is useful for the reader which is of course not only CNBC’s fault but also the readers fault. Many traders look for excitement in trading and are therefore drawn towards, for example, doom and gloom headlines. The thing is, successful traders don’t care where the market is heading in the future, they only care that they read the current market correctly. Dow might be heading for 5000 or 15000 in 2013 but what happens right now is more important as traders cannot afford unlimited drawdown. What would happen to the trader if on the way down to 5000 Dow climbs 20% which then gives the trader a margin call? The trader would lose all his/her money and therefore not be able to profit on the prediction of the Dow hitting 5000. [Read more...]
Reaction Vs. Prediction

React on current market conditions instead of predicting future moves:
Today I read an article on CNBC.com where a strategist called Charles Nenner predicts Dow will hit 5000. Original article can be found on this link: http://www.cnbc.com/id/38826988. He not only predicts that Dow will hit 5000 but he also gives a time frame which is 2 – 2.5 years. Nenner uses cycles in order to predict moves and dates. Here at Stock-Market-Strategy we believe in cycles. The stock market, real estate market and commodities all move in cycles. Nothing goes up forever and we will always see bull and bear markets. But this is as far as we go when it comes to cycles. We do not use them to predict market moves as there is no rule saying that a cycle has to be a certain length, making it impossible to predict moves without a big margin of error. [Read more...]
