Bear Market Rally or Trend Change?

How to differentiate a Bear Market Rally from a Potential Trend Change?

Rally traders reaped considerable profits. Investors lost even more money. Understanding the differences in rallies is important if we want to keep our money, or make it grow in the market. There are three types of rally situation:
  1. A rally in a downtrend
  2. A rally in a trading or consolidation band
  3. A rally that is a precursor to a significant change in the trend.

The first step, which is surprisingly ignored by many traders and investors, is to determine if we are in a bear market. After the battering of 2008, it is comforting to believe we are entering a market recovery so we naturally look for all the evidence that supports this view and conveniently ignore evidence that points in the other direction. This is a dangerous approach to take in any market condition.

  • Many new up trends start with a rally, but not all rallies go on to develop into a new up trend.
  • A rally is a rapid and substantial change in the direction of the existing downtrend.
  • If this burst of buying enthusiasm is supported by long term investors then the rally has a chance of becoming part of a new up trend. If the rally fails to gain support – if investors ignore it – then the rally collapses and the previous trend resumes.
  • In a down trend, a collapsed rally means the down trend remains in place. In an up trend, the collapse of a rally is usually associated with a bubble trading environment. The collapse takes prices down to the underlying up trend.
  • Traders are attracted to rallies because of their potential to signal the start of a new up trend.
  • Trade a rally as a trend, and you lose money. Trade a rally as a rally when in fact it is the start of a new trend, and you fail to maximize the profit available.
  • There is an ongoing challenge to find tools which separate a rally from a trend change as early as possible. Quick recognition and identification is important and the Guppy Multiple Moving Average is a very useful tool for this task.

CPF@55 Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer!

CPF@55  Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer! Do you know that  CPF@55  policy can help you get richer with a bigger SA (Special Account Balance) after 55? Yes, provided your are rich with a big OA (Ordinary Account Balance) and SA which exceeds the FRS (Full Retirement Sum).  Assuming you have $240k (SA), $160k (OA) and FRS is $200k, this is how you can become richer after 55: 1.  2 weeks before your 55th birthday, buy a stable Unit Trust Bond Fund with $200k SA under CPFIS/SA investment scheme (minimum $40k SA must be maintained) 2.  On your 55th birthday, CPFB will transfer $40k (SA) and $160k (OA) to your RA (Retirement Account) to form $200k FRS. 3.  Next day, sell your CPFIS/SA investment of $200k, this will be returned to your SA. 4.  You now have $200k (SA) and $0 (OA) after RA is created! What happens on your 55th birthday if you did not do the hack (ie. step 1&3) above?  CPFB will transfer $200k (SA) to RA.  So after 55, you will have $40k (SA) a

NTUC Fairprice Shares pays 5% dividend!

Yesterday I received the NTUC Fairprice Co-operative's dividend and rebate statement for financial year ended March 31, 2008. I was surprised to receive so much money for this investment! I was holding more shares than I thought. I received 5% dividend and 4% in rebate, which had already been credited to my bank account on September 5, 2008. Too bad, that's the maximum each member can hold. Another very good Capital Protected Dividend Stock to own! Ntuc Income Share Pays 9% Dividend for 2009, credited June 3 2010

LIFE@55 - What CPFB Don't Tell You!

Image
CPFB started to talk about Risk Pooling only in April 2019 after being queried at Parliament. They have never talked about Risk Pooling since CPF Life was introduced, not even in any Life@55 Talks! Do you know are there other important information CPFB is still not telling you at Life@55 or @facebook? In the past (eg 2014), members have to decide/choose their CPF Life Plan (ie Standard vs Basic) at 55 and part-CPF Life annuity premiums would be deducted from their Retirement Account (RA) for transfer to the CPF Life Pool. Only at 65 when monthly payout starts will the reminder of the CPF Life annuity premiums be transferred from RA to CPF Life Pool. For members turning 55 after July 2015, they only need to choose their CPF Life Plan (ie Standard, Basic or Escalating Plan) if they decide to start payout at 65 or delay till 70. Most members will choose their CPF Life Plan based on guidelines provided by CPFB as follows: Choose Standard Plan if you want more monie
