The FED has 600-800 PHD Economists. And none of them can read a bar chart. Buckle up.

$TNX breaking out to the upside. Surprised nobody cares. All this euphoria about "growth stocks" will not end well.

$TNX seems trapped versus $WTIC challenging to make new 8 year highs. That's a paradox that doesn't work longer term.

Having been first Registered Series 7 in April 1982, may I offer a few observations. Back in those days (40 years ago) simple TA (Mansfield Charts) would pretty much do the trick. But now we have something different. James Grant tells that originally the FED was established to moderate the...

I'm in the U.S. I pay every year on January 15, (cap. gains + DIVs + interest). I believe the rule is you have to prepay on Jan 15, 90% of what you estimate your final tax bill for the year. 1040 EST (Estimate) I have already filed mine for 2021. My state already deposited their check, FEDs...

Sputtering, but appears to have turned. Other: I never look at "What if ..." The IRS doesn't have any "1040 WHAT IF" form.

I'm long. Not Rip Van Winkle long, but long enough.

Beans rallied sharply in 2020, into early 2021. Now 7 months of a bull flag. Is it ready?

For all the folks criticizing Buffett "could have done this better ... that better" The guy is 91. Most people don't make it to 91. Of the ones who do, many barely know where they live. This guy was a power slugger in his day. But he was adamant - never a hostile takeover, ever. Best thing I...

Your concerns (about indicators and data overload) are very valid. And it is an easy problem to get into. For that reason, I keep sets of performance based charts: this-market-versus-that-market. No indicators needed here. Once you can establish that a trend change is coming, start looking at...

MACD Hist is above zero. Lefthand crossover.

Or maybe just let some air out of the bag. (i.e. leverage) Some people would say that the covid discussion in the U.S. is a total sideshow, giving covering fire to the FED money printing. aka a giant distraction. COVID Vaccines pose 7 times higher death risk than COVID for young people...

Positive divergence at the Dec 2 low. Uptrend resuming?

West Texas oil ($WTIC) breaking out at $78, 7 year high. Do you think that is priced in too? How much diesel is required to plant and then harvest 1,000 bushels of corn?

You people waste a ton of time and energy. Anybody who is trying to make money in markets and DOES NOT HAVE A SERIOUS edge that they found on their own is foolish. That's gambling. Just sayin ...

Candles didn't exist in U.S. markets, which are the only markets that matter, then and now. And candles, (somekind of shorthand for trading rice) are borderline useless in manipulated markets, which is all we have now.

I didn't say which would make you successful. I said which books were first. Other post states that Nison (candles?) was first. I was registered 7 in April 1982. Candles didn't exist in 1982.

If you are going to lecture about patterns, I suggest you base it on facts. The securities industry started "under the buttonwood tree" .. at Wall and Broad. At that time, and even today, the U.S. was unique in championing private property rights, on which the concepts of securities (stocks AND...

Another one of those gems, everybody who sold the IPO is golden. Everybody else is a potential bag holder.
