Dow is one of the Leaders in the Global Stock Market direction. Then who leads Dow? If we know, it would certainly help us “manage the future” direction better.

That was the best I've ever attended on how to read market directions, ie where is the market heading? So who leads Dow? According to Daryl Guppy, who posted his analysis yesterday, watch the behaviour of NASDAQ , the leading market index in America!

The new trend in NASDAQ index is more developed than the trend in DOW. 3. Watching the NASDAQ index gives a leading indication of how the American market will develop and the way it will react when resistance levels are encountered. 4. There are two import...

"The depressed American economy might turn around starting from the middle of next year and that is when the world will start climbing out of recession.” MM Lee said yesterday. "I take it with a pinch of salt. They (referring to Ben and Timothy) must sound optimistic or they will make the market more pessimistic.” MM Lee said. Source: extracted from Straits Times, April 17, 2009 He was commenting their remarks that “US economy will pickup by late this year or early next year” Hmmm... I'm very impressed with his foresight, his forecast on the Singapore and US economy! Do you know it is n somewhat in sync with some forecasts made by Fengshui Masters and Financial Astrology Experts? I'll share with you when the time is right!

Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said at an event in Hanoi: Singapore's gross domestic product could shrink 10% this year if the island-state is "unfortunate." If we are unfortunate, it will be minus 10%. But in the same way as we go down rapidly, when the recovery comes, we will go up rapidly because we are very globalized. This is the second time that Mr Lee had said that the island's economy could shrink by as much as 10% this year. Earlier this week, the government revised its GDP expectations for the year to a contraction between 6% and 9% from a 2% to 5% fall previously. Source: Extracted from DJ Newswire, Friday April 17, 2009 Wah, is he hinting bubbles are building in the Stock Markets? Did you notice the first big bubble in China Stock Market? It is now signalling a potential bull market. Or is it the powerful force of Venus retrograde, giving false signals? Will it be the first to burst? Just thinking out loud!

Daryl Guppy wrote an analysis on STI on April 15, 2009. Key points to note: STI within a trading band, a pattern of rally and retreat behaviour. The same is observed in the Hang Seng Index. Lower band near 1460 is support level, not well tested, act as rebound point. Upper band near 1940. Successful breakout sets upside target near 2400. Probability of breakout near term is low. Middle area of trading band is near 1750, act as support. If 1750 holds, the rally and retreat behaviour will remain in the upper half of trading band. Probability is high. Failure to hold confines the rally and retreat behaviour to the lower half of trading band. This extends the duration of the consolidation period. Do you notice a possible Rounding Top Pattern forming in STI? Read Where DOW & S&P500 Bear Market Rally Heading ?

Do you notice a possible Rounding Top Pattern forming in DOW and S&P 500 Charts? Noted by one TA expert. A Rounding Top Pattern is a consolidation and distribution pattern. Consolidation occurs when a downtrend slows: Prices cluster, or hover, near a particular price level. Price stops falling. The consolidation period is usually a narrow trading band. Prices has small rallies and small retreats. The trend is sideways. Consolidation in a downtrend is a signal that accumulation is developed. In an uptrend, consolidation also develops as a narrow trading band. This is not called consolidation, but has the same features. The price activity stops trending upwards and moves sideways. This is a signal that distribution is developing.” " Distribution occurs when early buyers decide to sell the shares they have accumulated. As the price rises, they offer their shares for sale. As more and more shares are offered, it becomes more difficult for the price to continue rising. This dis...

Still remember my article published in January 2009 – More Fengshui Master Predictions 2009? Read these again: Hong Kong Fengshui Master: "Financial markets will go up a little in the first couple of months but this will be short-lived. Investors are bound to be disappointed in the end." Malaysia Fengshui Master: "There will be a little spring appearing in mid-2009, which is a false image. People will think this spring marks the start of a rally. Things will in fact go down after that. My advice is for investors to ride on the wave of this little spring when it happens. Use this opportunity to sell. " Remember, by mid-2009!

According to Stock Trader's Almanac, the Dow tends to bottom when Unemployment peaks. Unemployment Rate and the Dow move in a highly correlated inverse direction. "Unemployment is a lagging indicator that moves inversely with equity prices. The chart shows the pattern of unemployment, recessions and the real (inflation-adjusted) price of the S&P Composite since 1948. Note the increasing peaks in unemployment in 1971, 1975 and 1982. The inverse pattern becomes clearer when viewed against real (inflation-adjusted) S&P Composite, with its successively lower bear market bottoms. The mirror relationship seems to be repeating itself with the current and previous bear markets." Source: See Chart So, lookout for a sharp reversal in the Unemployment Rate for a clear signal the market is ready to take off. Be cautious with data/information!
