A friend of mine asked me to analyze some stocks for his mid-term portfolio. As a matter of fact, he drew up quite an interesting list in terms of fundamentals and liquidity. In particular, Applied Materials is on the list. After reviewing the stock’s monthly charts, I do not know exactly who should pay for the bottle of whisky at a restaurant, me or my friend....
Many are placing bets that Amazon.com will not touch a new all-time high. Bets are not for me, instead I’m looking for the best risk-to-income ratio. The indicator is presently inadmissible for bearish trading and to trade in a bullish manner it is necessary to wait for the stock to reach the 2009 support level (around USD 320) or to set a new high. It’s a scary...
In November-December last year, I introduced an entire set of reviews on securities, regarding which a well-known head-and-shoulders pattern may look different from a classic one. It is time we look at the points where the patterns reversed trends and the points where they are reflected impacted by the Hound of the Baskervilles effect.
Notably, among those...
Sometimes you should erase everything from the chart and start from scratch. In this way, you could get a new vision and understanding of what is happening. I cannot say that I lost with BAC shares, but my expectations did not come true. Three months ago a head and shoulders pattern shaped up on the daily and weekly charts, and the pattern did not go downward....
Analysts have started talking about silver for hours on end. As a rule, I do not pay attention to such stuff. But this time I got interested in the fact that silver came under the spotlight. Fortunately, I have a graph at hand dated 1968. Unlike gold, the path of silver was not a bed of roses. No steady 50-year rising trends can be found here. While there is a...
Last time AXP stocks were caught in the middle of a rising trend. Any moves involving short and long positions had the risk/reward ratio totaling 1/1. This means investors did not have any right to make mistakes, which is inconvenient, as we are not magicians and are supposed to find out the optimal risk/reward ratio. So investors had nothing to do but to wait for...
The second failure of the week on NYSE is AXP. The security is trading between the support level at USD 79 and the resistance level at USD 104. But I’m still upbeat. But the question arises, whether I will manage to close a deal this week or not. But the ability to wait is also a valuable asset, isn’t it? So please back me up: s30037364671.whotrades.com
In my search for trading ideas, I decided to look through the Dow components, but here I was out of luck right from the start. The chart of 3M Co. (NYSE: MMM) shows a risk-to-income ratio of 1:1 as the closest support level is USD 137, and the resistance level is USD 192. For the time being, my advice is to abstain from trading in this share.
I’m again...
I still can’t decide what to choose – a cheeseburger or a fish burger. McDonald’s shares also seem to be indecisive. Beware, investors are advised against purchases or bearish transactions. I will crunch some carrot to keep fit, and you’d better wait until the equities reach the USD 90 support level or the 105 resistance level.
Support me in the best forecaster...
On the INTC chart, your favorite head-and-shoulders pattern is shaping up, while the Baskerville effect is observed. The top has appeared for the second time. Why has this pattern appeared? There was no optimistic trend before, and nothing to reverse, so this pattern was continuation of upward movement. What can we expect next? We expect USD 39-40 valuations and...
Dear online readers, maybe you’ve got an impression as though I am looking only for head-and-shoulder pattern on stock charts. No, I am not, I’m using various technical analysis tools. It just happened that these big patterns have been aplenty of late. And the bigger the pattern, the higher the income, especially if the pattern is close to seeing the Hound of the...
And the Hound of the Baskervilles effect is back in action! Please do not think, dear online readers, that this effect spreads not only to the head-and-shoulders pattern. It simply happened that most often I see this just for this pattern, on the charts of stocks that I am interested in.
For instance, on the chart of Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) we again see the...
While market player wait for the market correction, strong buy signal forms on daily and weekly chart of Coca-Cola. Head-and-shoulders pattern in a downtrend didn’t occur. The Hound of the Baskervilles is possible. Should a$44 mark persist, shares can go up to $50
Shares of Bank of America (BAC) demonstrate incredible growth this year. But technical picture shows that securities are likely to drop to USD 18 mark or to USD 22 under favorable conditions. The head-and-shoulders pattern (2013/07/22-2014/08/11) didn’t change direction of quotes movement, so The Hound of the Baskervilles may take place, i.e. double rise.
