The Principle of Relative Strength. Just checked some on where this rally now stands applying one of my principles. One sound fundamental to practice for near and intermediate term performance is to favor those stocks and sectors doing well and then shy away from those sectors underperforming. In fact...

At least for the large cap indices, the Dow Industrials , the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite . You know those US-headquartered but multinational companies doing lots of business overseas...

TECHNICAL VIEW . April 29th, 2008: The Dow Industrials bullishly pushed up and out of its 3-month trading range on Friday, April 18 th joining the Dow Transports to the upside. Bullish. A number of other key indices, like the Nasdaq Composite did so as well. Thus my interpretation now is that we have...

TECHNICAL VIEW . Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 There’s still a bit of doubt whether we’ve now broken out of the wide and volatile trading range we’ve been in every since late January to the upside. And whether it will stick. At least in my mind. My reasoning for you chart lovers out there is that since...

TECHNICAL VIEW . Thrusday, April 10th, 2008 “A ‘line’ is a price movement extending two to three weeks or longer, during which period the price variation of both averages move within a range of approximately five per cent.” (Both averages meaning the Dow Industrials and Dow Transports.) The above quote...

UPDATE ON THE STOCK MARKET . Wednesday, April 9th, 2008 Another day of compacted volatility (is that an oxymoron?) yesterday. This time on the lowest daily trading volume in 2008. Thus the stock market continues to draw, in Wall Street jargon, a “line” I’ve started writing about. One way, reason and...

UPDATE ON THE STOCK MARKET . Tuesday, April 8 th , 2008 : Yesterday was the 4 th day in a row the stock market traded essentially flat. I believe we’re now building what the old timers called “a line.” Just means compacted trading action on lower trading volume. Can run for a week to two or much longer...

Capital Trust (CT). Very interesting REIT I stumbled upon. Below is the story: I track a good number of economists and their observations. The bearish ones like independent Gary Shilling and Morgan Stanley’s Stephen Roach. And the bullish ones, like, last I heard, Ed Hyman, chairman of well-respected...

FINISHING UP YESTERDAY’S BANK PANIC OF 1907 COMPARISON. My theme yesterday morning – that stock markets don’t crash during financial panics --was emphasized by yesterday’s price action. Pressure was again taken off the stock market by its big rally. Every time things get bad, the Fed steps in and the...

UPDATE ON THE STOCK MARKET . The bulls are now on CNBC saying it’s too late to sell. I beg to differ since I can’t figure out why it’s too late to sell. Maybe because some portfolios are already down big, -15% or more. But that still doesn’t mean they can’t drop much more. Just think back to the dot...

IBD 100 ‘ NEW NAMES’ WEEKLY UPDATE . Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) newspaper put the bull back in the box this morning saying “watch the action of the major indexes and leading stocks” rather than the economy and the news. I’m in agreement with that although I admit it...
