Stocks Move Higher to Keep Up-Trend Alive
Things looked pretty good today as stocks advanced bouncing off support. Unfortunately, things aren’t all peachy. It is scary to me to see stocks finish under the 200 SMA after being above it fo...
A Day of Rest for the Market but Stocks Still on Track
Stocks took a brake from their advance today as Finacials led the decline. Oil fell some more as well as our trade deficit. Looking at the chart of the Dow, we are in the middle of an ascending contin...
Big Day Keeps Rally Alive and Well
Another nice day in the market where stocks showed they weren’t going to give up on the rally and made back more than our losses yesterday. Looking at the chart, we are still in a nice up trend ...
Useful Market and Candlestick Analysis
Today was a pretty significant day in my eyes. We saw the market start lower by about 70 points only to finish up 40 off of the continued drop in oil prices and Cisco (CSCO) releasing good earnings. C...
Major Advance On High Volume Looks Good
Tuesday was a great day for bulls. We finished at the top of the range and on higher volume. The day’s action finished high enough to break out of the triangle on the top side. Now we wait for s...
Stock Market Update for the Ages
Alright! Before we get down to business, just in case you haven’t heard, WE ARE STILL NOT IN A RECESSION AND HAVE NEVER BEEN!!! With GDP coming in at 1.9% growth, we are still in an expanding ec...
Sell-Off Sets Investor’s Sights on a Bottom
So Monday’s session has most definitely confirmed that we topped out if you didn’t already belive that. A low volume sell off doesn’t signal to me that stocks are set to fall further...
Slow Day Caps Off Down Week for Stocks
Not a whole lot of movement in the market on Friday. We finished up just over 20 points to end a week overall down. Looking at the chart of the Dow, it looks as though we could have topped out after h...
Stocks Fall on Housing/Profit Taking
A big drop yesterday on worse than expected housing data. Looking at the chart we can see there was low volume and also that the market had gone up a good bit fairly quickly so I think profits were ta...
Slight Advance for Stocks Fueled by Earnings and Oil
We edged forward again yesterday after being up close to 100 on the day. I think we are seeing a little bit of resistance because of our quick rise to this level but it looks like it will keep the adv...
Stocks Flip Upside Down After Rough Start
Yesterday was quite a session. Starting out down over 100 to end up over 100 on a good bit of bad earning news is pretty resiliant. We saw major companies cut outlooks and miss on earnings but the mar...
As Earnings Heat Up, Investors Find Disappointment
Stocks finished lower yesterday as earning season heats up. Earnings from Apple, Texas Instruments, and Wachovia have set the market up to fall a good bit. This is exactly why we were waiting for some...
Welcome Back!
I’m sorry for the problems with the site over Thursday/Friday. I was working on updating the site and managed to run into some problems. Never the less, I managed to fix them all and here we are...
Strong Day Pushes Outside Down Price Channel
Yesterday was a day that nobody can hate unless you are shorting the market. The market actually went high enough to finish outside the downwards price channel! That’s pretty significant news es...
What To Make of This Market
Friday was a roller coaster of a day marking the end of a week full of ups and downs. As you can see, I have pointed out that the Dow is still inside a down trend. From the absolute highs of the Dow t...
Market Ends Higher After Volatile Day
Well the market is holding on with everything its got. We managed to end up yesterday as the market see-sawed our way through the day. The level of support is still evident as the market has ultimatel...
Stocks Fall During Last Hours of Trading
So things really kinda fell apart there at the end of the day. After the first couple of hours I figured that we would see a pretty neutral day but that was wrong. The headlines on Yahoo Finance blame...
Sunny Days Ahead? I Hope So!
As you can see in the charts I have put up, it appears that possible bottoms could be forming in both the Dow and Nasdaq. After today’s monster late-day gains, strength has begun to sneak back i...
Support on the Horizon?
I’ve got up a 10 year chart of the Dow and as you can see, there is some historical support just about where we are these days. It’s a good 300 point range of support but none the less we ...
Just a Quick Update
Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Just to update you on some things.. I had internet issues this weekend which kept me from getting up a picture of the market to talk about it...
Markets Fall Further and Shorts Rake In!
Yesterday was a bit of a tease. Everything starts off all peachy and green and then BAM, the markets go under never to return. I tell you what. Never transfer brokerage accounts with any stock in them...
Life is Great!!!
I noticed that I had become such a downer with my post titles so I thought I would spice things up a bit. Now, to business. First off, I want everyone to understand that if the stock market is going d...
More Gains Surrendered
So, as you guys can see, the market continued to disappoint bulls out there. DXD has been rocking it. I can’t trade TRMB even if I wanted to just because I am transferring accounts so I am on th...
More red keeps things looking lower
The markets continued their downslide on Friday. The Nasdaq did a good job of parring most of its losses which is a decent bit of support but the Dow looks to continue its fall. As I mentioned before,...
Nothing but bad news technically
Above you can see a graph for both the Dow and Nasdaq. As you might have guessed, we are in for a bumpy ride unless this is a false breakout. I have no way of knowing if this will be false so the be...
Dow shows weakness as Nasdaq gains big
Today was pretty disapointing in regards to the Dow making a comeback. On the other hand, the Nasdaq performed well and TRMB finished up 2.5% and just shy of the day’s highs. The news on the day...
Ups and Downs..
The market ended down just a little today after taking turns being up and down. Once again, I think this is a pretty bullish day because we finished in the upper half of the day’s range. I was w...
Light day after huge down week
Today’s action was rather boring as investors await the Fed meeting coming up Wednesday. I think that the price movement today was pretty bullish. Even though there wasn’t much volume, if ...
Big Losses and Big Volume
Today is the most significant day we have had in a while. We almost doubled the average volume which should tell you something: the big boys were out today. Unfortunately, today’s action is a li...
Shorts beware! Support is on the horizon.
The 3rd down day in a row keeps my short producing. As everyone can see, we are about to reach the 1st level of support in the market and then another 200 points or so even further down is the 2nd lev...
