The markets gapped higher on Friday, only too sell off sharply. For
the first 45 minutes, the markets sold hard. Then, light volume took
over. The markets floated sideways to higher creating a beautiful in
spirit of bear flag. This pattern can be seen on charts of the
S&P 500, Dow or Nasdaq. It can also be viewed on the SPDR S&P
500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) as shown below or the PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series
1 (NASDAQ:QQQQ). Stocks also showed this in spirit of bear flag in
many charts. To view th… Continue

Welcome to benefit from building a simple average S&P-500 forecast (up, down, or sideways) for the next week. If you use more than one method, approach, or tool for prediction, it could be reasonable to give a vote for each one. "Sideways" is defined as a change within 1%.

Yesterday
CLNE broke out on an earnings related news release. Blink your eye and
you missed it. So now what? Do we do what the master TV herder says we
should do and that is just blindly buy buy buy? Or should we do what we
here at All About Trends preach all the time and that is to NOT CHASE
BUSES and let them come to us.

That said, this issue broke out at the $19 and change r

As I research the markets day after day, I find some interesting
technical signals and signs recurring. One that I mentioned recently
was in relation to the previous 52 week high on the SPDR S&P 500
ETF (NYSE:SPY). The previous 52 week high was $115.14, until it was
taken out over the last few days. My previous thesis and call was that
the institutions, seeing the markets hit the 52 week high of $115.14,
would take the market through that level to approximately $116.00. The
reason for this t… Continue

As a Chief Market Strategist, I love to look at charts, analyze and
discover swing trades in any direction. It is like going through old
baseball cards and not sure when I will find the Mickey Mantle or Babe
Ruth or better yet, sifting through sand or dirt and finding diamonds.
The markets today are showing a little bit of weakness but the
continued light volume is keeping them from selling to any significant
point. The formation on the charts from yesterday is a clear triangle
pattern which dic… Continue

The fact that gold has been crushed today with the dollar lower and the
markets higher tells me a top is near. Why? Simply put, gold dropping
tells me the average person, believes they can make far more money by
going into riskier assets like stocks. Why does that signal a top?
When the masses fully believe a rally is at hand, the rally has already
happened and is over. Sadistic? Yes! Funny? not really!



The dollar opened flat to slightly higher today. Gold also opened
higher. The doll… Continue

Plenty of information exists about penny stocks, and it pays to know what is real and what is not. Penny stocks are somewhat of an unknown entity, many people know the
name but not everyone knows how they work or whether or not they are a wise
investment. They can be for the right
investor.

First of all, whatever you have received in your email

To truly understand the markets, one must think the opposite of the
average investor or trader. When it comes to the total volume in the
market, more than 90% is generally from institutions. When it comes to
the total number of market participants, 95% of them are the average
investors or traders. This is a peculiar disparity but totally
understandable. This is also how many of the institutions make their
money. In other words, by moving the markets in ways pull money from
the average investor o… Continue
