The one thing I forgot to mention in my previous post regarding the S&P 500 breaking to new highs was that we cannot rule out a delay of the breakout due to ‘low volume summer trading’ ! The low volume factor was ignored however on June 17th. And it was a Friday at that! So […]

The rising price of crude oil to date has had a somewhat limited affect on the economy ( so far) but my overall analysis of the crude oil chart says to me that there is still plenty of bullish potential for the intermediate and longer term time frames.
Certainly it seems somewhat odd that the […]

The S & P 500 will break to new all time highs. I have no doubt in my mind as of June 20th 2005 that the S&P 500 will eventually break out to new all time highs and likely head for a test of the next swing point of May 22nd 2001.
We saw very […]

Option Trading in Merck?
I have been watching Merck (MRK) since yesterday. As you probably already know, Merck stock had a massive sell off in October 2004 related to the recall of one its blockbuster drugs. Since that time the stock has been undergoing somewhat of a consolidation from that huge volume washout.

Here are a couple of charts on the 30 year T Bond Futures. Steven J Williams who graciously allowed me to repost his ‘ Is a US Bond Crash Coming ‘ article makes a compelling case that we may eventually see a US T Bond Crash, maybe in 2005?

I am very pleased how this before and after category entry worked out here at the stock and commodity trading forum. When I opened this one up a few days ago I knew it had some potential and am glad that some things can be learned from this case. In many, perhaps most cases, it […]

The US dollar appears to be set up for a more extended upwards rally after bouncing for the third time from 14 year support. Over time the dollar trades inversely to gold so the chart set up in the US Dollar index is no big surprise here given yesterday’s analysis of gold futures.

Have you followed the gold story since 2000 ? Even if you have not followed what gold futures have been doing since the year 2000, chances are that you have at least heard through the popular press about the exciting moves in gold during 2003. The long journey of gold futures from the 2000 […]

I have already given Drd Gold mention a couple of times on here, so I thought why not put Drd Gold into the before and after category for the fun of it on a near term basis analysis. Maybe there could be a lot to be learned from this one. We shall see. Part of […]
