We have gone four-weeks with our sample-example of why one can buy into year -end tax selling as a regular practice. This is the last data point on this we will publish. Whatever your thoughts on the market, we feel we have shown that buying into tax loss selling periods is a repeatable annual event. Do your tax loss selling early in the season and have cash available for buying into tax loss selling. At LOTM we put this in the category of “Position Management” combined with “Tax Management” of positions and Trading Opportunities.

As a potential “trade”  – You might look at LABU as a short term trade. It sure seems to me that this is going to pop next week. Technically it is nicely set-up with the share price of LABU above its rising 20-day, above the 50-day and above the 150-day moving average with the price of LABU above both.

• What is the Cumulative Advance/Decline Line saying?
• New HIGH/LOW Ratio says yes, The Bear is in the Past.

Declaring the Bear is dead is a dangerous thing to do. Let’s define what we are looking at and you decide for yourself if it makes sense to you.

If we accept that, we can then say if the majority of stocks are rising in price, then we are not in a bear market. Price above moving averages and shorter moving averages, above longer moving averages, are measures used in Trend analysis.

To check this feature, let’s look at the weekly advance/decline line for the NYSE at StockCharts.com Continue reading →

The interview linked below, goes far beyond the text below.

I accept the information as probable; however, it is one person’s opinion. Consider if it fits into your framework of world view. Continue reading →
