Dow Theory Update for Dec 21: Stocks down. No change in trends

posted on: December 22, 2012

Precious metals mixed. Let’s get started with our Dow Theory comment. The SPY, Industrials and Transports closed down. For a third day in a row, neither the Industrials nor the SPY deigned to confirm the breakout made by the Transports on Dec 18. Such lack of confirmation is troubling, and the longer it persists, the […]

Dow Theory Update for Dec 20: Gold and Silver in a primary bear market

posted on: December 20, 2012

No changes in precious metals stocks ETFs. Normally, I start my daily post in this Dow Theory blog by talking about stocks. Today’s action in gold and silver beg for a change. Gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) closed down today. Silver violated its November 2 secondary reaction low, and with it confirmed the previous […]

No change in trends. Since there are no changes in trends, today it is going to be a short post in this Dow Theory blog.

posted on: December 18, 2012

Gold and silver just about to signal primary bear market signal Today has been an interesting day for those that analyze the markets under the Dow Theory. The SPY, the Industrials and the Transports closed firmly up. The Transports by closing at 5310.75 clearly broke above the 06/19/2012 high of 5250.54. However, the SPY […]

Dow Theory Update for Dec 17: Stocks up. No change in trends

posted on: December 17, 2012

Gold and silver indecisive Let’s review the state of the stock market under the prism of the Dow Theory. The SPY, Transports and the Industrials closed up. Technically, nothing has been accomplished. However, if this rally continues and the highest highs hitherto made are jointly bettered by at least two indices, then a primary […]

posted on: December 14, 2012

Under Dow Theory nothing has changed Let’s begin with our Dow Theory analysis for today in this blog. What are other Dow Theorists doing? Richard Russell, of the “Dow Theory Letters”, who was turning mildly bullish (or at least not outright bearish short term) is turning bearish again. He hoped that the last rally was […]

Gold, silver and their miners up Let’s try to gauge the pulse of the markets armed with our Dow Theory tools in this blog.

Precious metals mostly down. Let’s get started with our Dow Theory commentary for today. The SPY, Industrials and Transports closed up. The primary trend remains bearish and the secondary trend (secondary reaction) bullish. Volume was higher than yesterday’s and since today was an up day, it has a bullish connotation (at last!). The overall pattern […]

Dow Theory Update for Dec 10: No change of trends under the Dow Theory

posted on: December 10, 2012

Mildly bullish day Before I start with our Dow Theory commentary, you may be may be interested in reading my post in this blog entitled “Don’t fall in love with your stocks! Love is always dangerous” which you can find here. Today was a mildly bullish day. The SPY barely nudged up. The Industrials […]

Dow Theory Update for Dec 7: Stocks and precious metals up

posted on: December 7, 2012

No changes in trends. What are other Dow Theorists saying? Richard Russell, of the Dow Theory Letters fame, is mixed (as far as I can conclude). He says that as long as the 11/15/2012 lows are not violated there is hope for the bulls. However, until the October highs are not broken out, he will […]
