Nov. 30, 2010 Analysis: Yesterday's Analysis predicted that "both the Chicago PMI and the Consumer Confidence will boost the market." Today, they did not boost the market, but they at least stemmed the market's early loss. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the ISM Manufacturing Index will...

Nov. 29, 2010 Analysis: The market tests the patience of the Bulls, as it has failed to rise above 1,200. The market also frustrates the Bears, as it has repeatedly offered them intraday profits, only to pare the losses by the close. Today the market pared most of the day's loss to...

Nov. 26, 2010 Analysis: Today the market retreated in a low-volume trading. Looking ahead to next week, the revelation of the details of the Irish bailout on Sunday will soothe investor jittery, and an increase in consumer spending during Black Friday will add optimism for the economic...

rbaselt, Thank you for your compliment, although it is difficult to judge an analysis¡¯ quality based on one day¡¯s prediction, as they say, ¡°even a blind squirrel can hit an acorn.¡± The most challenging part of the Analysis is not calling the direction of the market, but when...

Optionpro007, Now you can either accept someone else's accounting or do your own calculations to find out the truth if your real intention is to know the final tally. You must have been a trader long enough to know that accepting someone else's answer will never reap any gains for your own...

Nov. 22, 2010 Analysis: Over the weekend the Irish finally relented to ask for a bailout from the EU and the IMF. Today, the Bears tried to pull another buy-the-rumor-sell-the-fact trick, but the market had another idea and closed only slightly lower. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the...

Nov. 19, 2010 Analysis: Yesterday's Analysis predicted that "the market will rise." Today the market rose slightly on the backdrop of encouraging corporate earnings. Looking ahead to next week, the market will continue its upward movement, as the resolution of the Irish banking crisis...

Optionpro007, Thank you for your question. As to your first question, you must have read plenty of threads at this website to know that your question either purposefully or inadvertently will open the flood gate for many exchanges of accusations and defenses of the writer¡¯s honesty. I...

Nov. 16, 2010 Analysis: Today's market rout was all impressive in the sense that it fell through the 1,180-1,185 range and never bounced back. The market action would seem to support the notion that Wall Street institutions conspired to scalp (or shake out) retail investors just as the...

Nine_Ender, Thank you for your comments. Before I respond to the substance of your comments, I first respond to the timing of your comments. I would like you to comment on my Analysis before the market opening if possible, because your comments on my prediction made after the market...
