Penny Stock Trading: Cost-effective Deal or Delusion

When investing in penny stocks, the most common question that arises in minds of many people is “How risky is it?”. Well it depends on the investor itself. An investor who makes an investment blindly, without any

research at all, without gaining knowledge of the vocabulary and terminology of

the investment world, and simply going off the opinions of a broker or some

other third party, for them trading these stocks can be a bitter experience

regardless of…

Buying Penny Stocks For Financial Permanence

We all know that risk is associated with every business, yet there are people who expected it would not be so in buying penny stocks. Let me take you to the point. I am talking

about my neighbor Srikaykay. He is serving in an oracle implementation private

company under a managerial post. So, it is natural that he is withdrawing a

heavy salary. Without having proper knowledge about the penny stocks, he

invested in them with the intention of…

This morning's $SPX charts (so far)

Basically, these spreadsheet based charts seem to be saying that we are now at another 'top'....This contradicts the daily MACD indicator and the put/call ratios, which looks so much like a warning of the beginning of a new up trend. The day is still young, but as of 10:50… Continue

RSI vs. RS

RSI.xls

In exploring the parameters of RSI and RS (Average Gain / Average Loss), I created a spreadsheet (attached) showing both RS at every level of RSI, beginning with RSI = 1 and ending with RSI = 100. I then created a column of figures showing the relationship of each RS level to its prior level. For example, if when RSI = 25, RS = 33/100, meaning that average gain to average loss…

Where trendlines cross...

Do you see this long term trendline, sloping downward, and magenta colored in this next chart?

Now do you see the upward curving trendline in this next chart that provides current resistance? These shorter range exponential trendlines were generated by the 10/2007-3/2009 decline....

These two trendlines are crossing. This is what it looks like with this morning's high and… Continue

An unexpected result...

A while back, I published this chart before we had a breakout of the

symmetrical triangle. I was expecting the triangle to break out to the

upside, as I presumed that Britain was in more trouble than the U.S.

This chart almost suggests the opposite...

Then today I found this:

U.S. is riskier than the Euro Zone: so says CDS market…

Microtrendline charts, updated

Bears, keep your powder dry, don't pull the trigger on too many short

positions until price action ducks unequivocally back below these resistance

lines that define the tops....Likewise that is the moment for the Bulls to sell....

The December 28th, double nodes took 13 trading

days to resolve into a top on 1/15/10, the 3/11/10 nodes could take almost as long,

so patience is required...…

Underlying weakness in equities markets suggests little upside from here...

Note the vertical red lines where the two exponential nodes presaged declines in the Nasdaq 100 McClellan Oscillator (symbol: $NAMO). This wasn't planned, but the nodes line up well with two recent peaks in this indicator.

Note that the MACD crossover of the 'zero line' of the McClellan Oscillator (at the top of the chart) often corresponded with peaks in the $NDX. I have highlighted some of these events with… Continue

Top is probably in (3/12/10).

I do comparisons of node strike dates on waves as they are forming, and using the data from the

November and March lows, you can run exponential nodes from different wave series and see what

dates are in common.

Two different wave counts for the rally in the $NDX gives you these dates :

You can see the dates and extremes for the wave endpoints on the right in these spreadsheets....

Current $NDX and $SPX Micro-trendline charts

Added by Mark Lytle on March 9, 2010 at 3:24pm — No Comments

Russell 2000 has close, but not overlapping, major nodes...

The double $NDX node falls on the 11th of March, the two nodes shown on
this chart are 3/9/09 for the red 1.00 node line, and 3/23/10 for the
blue 1.00 node line. Obviously the $NDX double node fits (timeewise) between the
red and blue lines on this chart....
