posted on: September 18, 2012

For those interested in learning more about the Dow Theory, the following sources may be useful. StockCharts.com has a good introduction to the Dow Theory which you can find here: http://stockcharts.com/help/doku.php?id=chart_school:market_analysis:dow_theory From the different “free” sources for Dow Theory in the internet, this is the only one which I think is “orthodox” enough to be […]

Dow Theory update for Sep 18: No news. Both primary and secondary movements remain bullish.

posted on: September 18, 2012

Long term bonds: Still not ready to collapse. The good thing of applying Dow Theory to analyze the markets is that it is sufficiently long term to allow you not to be glued to the screen all day long, while, on the other hand, it is nifty enough, to get you out soon when trouble […]

Dow Theory update for Sep 17: Zzzz!!!

posted on: September 17, 2012

Today was another irrelevant day from a Dow Theory standpoint, so I’ll try to keep this post short. All the markets we monitor went down. However, one day down signifies nothing under Dow Theory. Therefore, both the primary trend and the secondary one remain bullish. As you know from other posts in this blog, I’m […]

Dow Theory update for Sept 14. New market highs confirm again primary bull market

posted on: September 14, 2012

Today is one of this days when there are no news under Dow Theory. The three stock indices I monitor (Industrials, S&P and Transports) all closed up, thereby making new absolute highs since the primary bull market got started on June 4, 2012 (signaled by the Dow Theory on June 29). For more details […]

Dow Theory update for Sept 13. New market highs confirm again primary bull market.

Transports finally confirm under Dow Theory. The good thing of the Dow Theory is that it doesn’t provide us with “news” every day. However, today is one of those rare days that are vital to understand future market action. Today is an important day. The three stock indices I follow under Dow Theory: The Industrial, […]

Dow Theory update for Sept 12. S&P, Gold and Silver: Both primary and secondary movement bullish

posted on: September 12, 2012

Today, again the three stock indices I monitor under Dow Theory closed up for the day. The Industrials and the SPY made higher highs. Actually we are at the highest point for both indices since the inception of this primary bull market on June 4 (signaled by the Dow Theory on June 29). The transports […]

What should I do if I missed the Dow Theory bull signals for the SPY and GLD? Dow Theory’s second chance: The first secondary reaction.

posted on: September 11, 2012

In my yesterday’s post which you can find here I have made clear that under Dow Theory both the SPY and GLD are in a primary bull market. Furthermore, I explained that both markets offered the best risk reward ratio (RRR). In other words, the stop losses are sufficiently close to the entry points (June […]

Dow Theory update for Sept 11. S&P, Gold and Silver: Both primary and secondary movement bullish.

posted on: September 11, 2012

The breather the market took yesterday was short lived. Today the S&P and all the precious metals universe I monitor were up for the day. However, as per Dow Theory we should disregard the daily movement. Yesterdays down move didn’t make me jittery and today’s up move doesn’t make me jump at all. From a […]

Technical pro L.A. Little sees the S&P higher

posted on: September 11, 2012

Among the see of bearishness that engulfs us, here you can find a very good technical analysis of the current situation of the stock market. Market Watch contributor L.A. Little does a wonderful job in explaining us why the S&P bull market is likely to continue. Whilst the analysis is not based on Dow Theory, […]

Dow Theory update for Sept 10. S&P, Gold and Silver: Both primary and secondary movement bullish.

posted on: September 10, 2012

Today it was time to take a breather. The stock market and the precious metals universe (including miners) went all down. What has the Dow Theory in store for us today? Not much. According to Dow Theory no technical damage has been made. Thus, the primary trend remains bullish as well as the secondary movement. […]

Why Dow Theory matters: Outstanding Risk Reward Ratio thanks to the Dow Theory’s trailing stop.

posted on: September 10, 2012

Today we have an important money making (or rather money “saving”) post. Please mind that I am writing this before the open with the closing prices of Friday, September 7. In the last Saturday’s post “The price of not heeding the Dow Theory: From 06/29/2012 to date 5.8%” (click here), I insisted that the odds […]

I frequently visit “The Big Picture” to be updated on financial matters. It is a wonderful website. Yesterday I found this post entitled “Sell Side Indicator” which you can find here The gist of the post is a chart that shows the extreme bearishness of asset managers and analysts. In other words, since the Dow […]
