Dow Theory update for Sept 28: Markets down with no technical consequences
posted on: September 28, 2012
It was Charles Dow, father of the Dow Theory, who said that in the world of investing you have to “exercise enough patience for six men.” He meant by this that the markets don’t accommodate our wishes and even the best laid out investment plan may take time to materialize. The Dow Theorist investing along […]
Dow Theory update for Sept 27: Bull markets don’t die easily
posted on: September 27, 2012
Gold and Silver on the verge of breaking out prior highs Today all markets I monitor closed up. What else can I say? The primary bull market remains intact and the long awaited secondary correction (which would be a good opportunity for latecomers to be long stocks and precious metals as you can read here) […]
Dow Theory update for Sept 26: Finally, we get a 3% pullback
posted on: September 26, 2012
However, precious metals still resilient The three stock indices I monitor closed down for the day and we get some news which I would label of “tertiary” importance. I see three kinds of movements. The first is the primary trend or primary movement which may span more than one year. The second one is the […]
Dow Theory update for Sept 25: All markets down. No technical damage yet
posted on: September 25, 2012
Talk about resilience!! The long awaited secondary reaction hasn’t materialized yet, all the big declines of today notwithstanding. Today all the markets we monitor closed down. However, as I noted yesterday, not even a minor insignificant low has been broken yet. I quote from yesterday’s post which you can find here However, the decline experienced […]

posted on: September 24, 2012
Today has been a mildly down day. Both the SPY and the Industrials closed down. The Transports, again diverging, closed slightly up for the day. Since Sept 14 the stock market has been unable to make new highs. However, the decline experienced until now is so mild that even the last minor recorded lows (they […]
Dow Theory update for Sept 21: Transports give a warning
posted on: September 21, 2012
However, both primary and secondary movement remain bullish As to the stock market, the Industrials, SPY and the Transports, all finished down for the day. Technically, the SPY and Industrials keep being very close to their last recorded highs, so nothing has changed. The Transports violated today the last significant low (which was the lows […]

posted on: September 20, 2012
Today was another day without changes. Both the primary and secondary trend of the markets we monitor, namely, S&P, Industrials, Transports, Gold, Silver and their respective ETF miners continues unchanged. The Industrials closed slightly higher establishing a new record high since the inception of the primary bull market on June 4 (signaled by the Dow […]
Dow Theory update for Sept 19: Bullish trends intact
posted on: September 19, 2012
Today has been another day with negligible movements. All the three indices (Transports, Industrials and S&P) we monitor under Dow Theory closed slightly up for the day. All of them are under the 09/14/2012 highs. Volume has slightly higher than yesterday’s (which was a mildly down day), so the bullish pattern of volume continues. Gold […]
Dow Theory update for Sep 18: No news. Both primary and secondary movements remain bullish.

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 […]
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 […]
Is really gold glittering? Who benefited most from QE?
posted on: September 14, 2012
In spite of the breathtaking rally we have recently witnessed in gold, in spite of the primary bull market that was signaled in gold on August 22 by the Dow Theory (*) which has been commented ad nauseam in this blog, in spite of QE, there remains a nagging question: Is really gold so strong? […]
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).
