overviews from previous newsletters
July 2007
Goldilocks is still dancing and prancing with Rumplestilskin around the Bonfire. All the recent song and dance about sub-prime rates going to pot seems to have run its course for the moment and has temporarily run out of steam. Wonders never cease when the Retail Stores report indicated that the losses were not as high as first expected and triggered a 328 point rally on the DOW. The next day the Retail Stores were reported to be at their worst in two years, but the market still went up since the other euphoria was the Earnings reports were expected to be better than expected.
I emphasize again that the work I have gone on the QID/QLD total dollar ratio has recently reached new high levels indicating to me that the pessism is so high that the old adage of the stock market climbs a wall of fear is still in play. We have not yet seen the super optimism which is indicative of a Blow Off Top. Having blown through resistance after a triple top we must now see if it was a quick short term covering phenomenon and fall back into the base or continue up for that final blow off. I cover the whole rationale for the revised targets given the recent Earnings Estimates.
Ron has followed up his excellent review of last months 0a key leaders with a different though similar look at True Momentum Leaders using the Momentum 2 key. He is building a series of key Case Studies in each of these Newsletters leading up to the October 27 to 29 Seminar which we will cover with you at that time.
June 2007
There is still fire in the belly of this tired market with a 187 point gain in the DOW and 32.5 point gain in the Nasdaq, both Kahunas to the upside. All the recent song and dance is about the bond yields spiking up and the Dollar regaining some of its weakness, so it is not difficult to quickly bind the limits of the problem, which I will cover in the discussions below. It goes without saying that the volatility in this yo-yo market abounds on a daily basis now, with Kahunas going both ways on alternate days. It has virtually come down to day-trading or very nifty swing trading. In a market like this it is almost better to step aside when one is this confused as to the solid direction of the market. We even had a Eureka signal on Thursday, which at this late stage of a bull market run usually implies we are headed for a correction.
This month I show you the continued saga of the QID-QLD relationship, and can now attest that the daily volume for the QID is double that of a month ago delivering 20 Million shares routinely and as high as 31 Million…it has become a serious hedging tool from what I can see. Likewise there are many disappointed souls who feel they got in at the bottom of the QID only to find they were too early on their timing. I will show you that the “set-up” worked perfectly, but still no cigar.
Ron has focused on showing you how to combat the vagaries of the market by focusing on stocks that have delivered earnings momentum compared to a year ago and also to the last quarter of better than 25%, i.e. the safest stocks to trade have strong gas in the tank. Such stocks deliver “power moves” over a short period of time and that is what one needs to focus on at this stage of the market. He uses the 0a key to demonstrate how to find these gems.
May 2007
And the beat goes on! The Bullish Action is very strong. On the other hand, the Bullish Sentiment is not yet out of control, which will come when the price continues up on weak volume. The bullish action is so strong that it is overshadowing the potential distribution days. In other words, the herd is still buying on the dips. The bullish reversal on Friday coupled with Options Expiration this coming week suggests the week should be mildly bullish. This could set the QID ETF up for another chance at a sequence run this coming week. That will be apparent when you read the Case Study I have featured this month. Remember that at this point the QID %B is still positive and must turn negative again to trigger the start of the run. We shall see.
This month I have turned my attention to the QID and to a lesser extent the QLD, the two power ETF’s that give you double your pleasure and double your fun as you chew Double-mint gum….I couldn’t resist that. I hope you enjoy this piece of research which is in its infancy but looks promising. I struck on the idea of finding the earliest potential turn in the Market using the QID, and I am sure you will be surprised and amazed at the extent of the daily money flow into this Index which bets twice the odds of the Nasdaq going DOWN. It is drawing over 10 Million shares a day with regularity and has become a day-trader’s dream. But so far it has proven slim pickings!
Ron has focused on showing you how the Best of Woodward and Brown Index of ten stocks is derived in the StockPicker Family of Indexes which should be introduced very shortly. It essentially gives you the best 10 stocks from the Smart Groups best six Indexes, i.e., Best Criteria, Leaders, Growth, Strong, ERG 240 and HGS 100!
April 2007
I repeat “What a difference a month makes?” A month ago I said “Who would have imagined a 400 point drop in the Dow in one day? Sadly the ‘ripples of consternation’ expressed by the former Fed Chairman, Uncle Alan, coupled with the Asian Markets taking a couple of days dive, added to the most recent problems of sub-prime lenders getting walloped by the market was just too much for the struggling Bulls to stomach.” Now a month later the Ides of March are behind us, all the major indexes have regained their composure and we are knocking on the doors of a return to the old highs. Those in the bear camp are patiently waiting to sing the chorus of “Be patient as we are headed for a double top”. They have been biting their finger nails as they have loaded up with QID’s (the double leveraged NDX 100 ETF’s on the short side) long before now, but are waiting for bad news to make their dreams come true.
Last month, I gave you chapter and verse on the various Bull and Bear cases and gave full treatment to the targets for the Low, Lower and Lowest Road Scenarios. This month I would like to follow up with a slightly different approach to arriving at the Lines in the Sand, which on one page will eventually summarize 4 approaches to Technical Analysis, one on Fundamental Analysis and one on what I call “Folklore” for the S&P 500. Those attending the March Seminar enjoyed this presentation so I felt I would capture it for all our readers to see for posterity sake. Since NONE of the lower road scenarios have yet come to pass, the data is still fresh though a month old!
Ron has focused on the RonIandex which is a group of leading stocks that have strong EPS Rank and Rel Str, and should be a good indication of when the market is due to correct again, as these stocks are fat with profits and will be hit first.
