It seems like every other site or blog is cranking out an article about bitcoins those days, so let’s do one too. Let me start by telling that I have always been a fan of internet currencies and 15 years ago I was among the first one thousand people to open an account with the…

The start of a new month is always a good opportunity to take a look at longer term charts and indicators. While monthly charts do not give new signals very often, they can be very significant because monthly trends often continue for years. The key reversal levels I have been sharing on a weekly basis…

Last week we looked at the potential for a further rise in December. Markets have indeed pushed higher and the Nasdaq is now comfortably above 4000, but my indicators are starting to ooze warning signs for the S&P 500. Here is the current chart (click for larger image): The S&P has been grinding up to…

Stocks are climbing again after yet another brief pullback. After a one way year like this it is quite normal to see major indexes end the year at or near their highs. So, I wouldn’t look for much downside action in December, unless some major disaster strikes. How high could we go in the last…

In a previous article I pointed out the possible existence of a 4666 day (= 666 weeks) and a 88.37 year cycle in the market. Of course, with only 200 years of observed stock market history we have little proof for it. One reader asked whether there are even longer cycles we could possibly consider.…
