Mark D. Cook: SELL

Quote from coasting:

I didn't say he was not authentic. But since none of his "fans" know how he computes his indicator or how the indicator fails (when it does) then you cannot put your money into what he says.

There is no need to listen to Mark or any other poster no matter what credentials they have. Seems to me that the "wizard" title has blinded a few in this forum. Learn to read the market for yourself, never ever listen to anybody else.

For what it's worth I too see this market topping but have no signal yet. Tops are difficult to time, it's best to wait them out.
I totally agree.

though, I don't pay attention to "tops" or "bottoms."

I try to trade what is, and whatever happens.

hey, what can I say... sometimes it works out. :D

... kinda like having sex after you've misplaced your viagra bottle.

hey, it's 3:00AM - I'm supposed to be sleeping!!
 
Quote from Babak:

I just read that Mark Cook has said his proprietary cum. tick indicator has flashed a major sell signal.

(see Schwager's Stock Mkt Wizards for indicator discussion)

“At this juncture I am seeing the potential for the US market to go into a free fall … the Cook cumulative tick is the most overbought since December 1999. I spoke at a conference in New York in February 2000. I warned the crowd that this market was going to get crushed. I had two dozen people walk out on me. I said, if you are in this market get out now … right now it is the same type of market. It is like the bear rally in 1929 before the October crash.”

This is a huge deal guys. Cook is one hell of a trader and this is one of his most reliable indicators. Make of it what you will.

Babak ....you reported an old interview....

"you have just read what he thought about the market five years ago?"

Would you please to provide a link on what M.Cook thinks about the market today?....

In other words you mention an old article..but you don't give us the link of WHAT YOU HAVE JUST READ!

TIA

Thanks for the info++
 
Q, read a bit more carefully. Mark is remembering his 2000 experience and saying that the current situation reminds him of that time. Its an excerpt from a recent interview. Also I provided a link in the thread. Next time, spend 2 minutes reading the thread.

coasting, his formula for the CCT is known. He mentioned it in his interview with Schwager.

Well....I would like to read this recent interview, entirely, if it is possible!

You provided the link of the Cook's web site

...but it is under construction...

Since it's so well known why don't you post a picture of the CCT against the SPX from year 1999 to now so we can see what you are talking about and save the wizard talk. Where is the meat?

Man I am getting too old for this :)
 
I try to seek understanding, not just follow an indicator or whatever blindly. And I was thinking about this again and eventhough I'm not sure if Mark has considered this... the 'pollution' of non-operating companies in the NYSE might be wreaking havoc with his indicator.

I mean that just as the AD line is now screwed by these bond like securities, the same tampering could be happening with the NYSE TICK.

Just a thought.

Tops Are In
This week's action was really a continuation of the downturn the market's began in early August. Aug. 3, to be precise, was when the S&P 500 hit 1245.03. That's an important number to remember, because according to market guru Woody Dorsey, that will be the high for the year for the broad index.

"That was the print," says the founder of Market Semiotics.

Ditto for the other main stock averages, Dorsey says. The Nasdaq topped out at a four-year high of 2218.15 on Aug. 2. As for the Dow, its recent top was at 10,705 on July 28, although its high for the year was at 10,940 on March 4.

Since these recent tops, the indices have been falling back, mostly at a snail's pace -- coinciding, once again, with the predictions Dorsey made previously. The S&P 500 has fallen 25 points, or 2%, the Nasdaq has given back 83 points, or 3.7%, and the Dow has fallen 145 points, or 1.3%.

And things are about to get worse from here.
