I had expected the market to sell on its earnings no matter how good they were (eps could have been better, I think). It was a classic sell on the news deal as the price had run up so much in expectation of good earnings. So I was out of most of my position at a little over 7. I bought back...

I have a blog that I have been posting my ideas on cycles. If anyone wouldn't mind stopping by, I would love to know what you think about them. (I don't get many comments). But basically, I've been putting together some market timing guidlines based on a 4-year cycle, a 6-month seasonal...

Based on the 4yr cycle, a trough is scheduled to occur next year around October (plus or minus a few months).

Sorry to hear about YHOO. But as someone said, the market was tough if you were long anything then. It just goes to show that it is not only "what" you buy, but "when" you buy it that is most important. Its also good that you picked your own stock and made your own mistake. Because that is...

It appears the Naz is looking at 61.8% too. If that doesn't produce a bounce...

Besides looking oversold on the indicators, 2026 on the NASDAQ and 1179 on the SP500, is approximately the 61.8% retracement from the lows of April to the Highs of August. So, I'm thinking we bounce here, maybe all the way back to 2067 to close the week.

I hope your right. It's got a decent weekly chart. However it has a low Relative Strength Rank of 48, (although it has been improving). And I think it could be tough getting through 34.60, as this is the 23.6% retracement of the high from early June to the low of last September. However, you...

Yeah, it has a great chart. I was in and out today for a small gain. I just wish there was a better market to compliment it.
