Market Update For Purists

It’s that dreaded day after Independence Day. The weather is gorgeous and I don’t really feel like trading either. The thought of just phoning it in had occurred to me, but as the new month just rolled over I thought I may as well take another peek at our monthly charts. Which uncovered quite some interesting perspectives that I’m eager to share. But no worries – we’re keeping it light and easy today. Consider this a purist’s approach to market analysis as we’re going to ignore everything but Net-Lines.

Monday Morning Briefing

Welcome to our morning briefing. Here we are reviewing short term setups ahead of the NYSE opening bell. If you are a scalper or swing trader then these setups may be of interest to you.

I actually meant to post a weekend update but somehow wound up wiping out my Windows installation, thus condemning me to a weekend of recreating my workstation from scratch. Yes, I do backup religiously but my bootcamp partition wasn’t covered by time machine – fortunately I back up my Windows data separately twice a day. As the old saying goes [...]
