Be a Chameleon to Beat the Market!

Image
I like these comic cartoon illustrations about the stock market. 1. To beat the market or survive, we must make the Trend our friend. Be a Bull when the trend is up. Be a Bear when the trend is down. Be a Chameleon! 2. Let the Big Bulls and Big Bears fight it out! 3. Have good foresight, tighten our seat belts and take the big roller coaster rides to beat the market! But remember when one should alight! 4. Don't fall into the Bull Traps or Bear Traps (depends how you view it)! 5. Don't buy on breakout 6. Don't try to catch the bottom! 7. Will there be a Second Great Depression? 8. Be a short term investor for now! Happy New Year! 2009

Watch the Skies for Trends!

A Financial Astrology market timing expert was interviewed recently. Yes, FA experts watch the skies for trends! Sees economy teetering between Camelot and Armageddon in 2009. Stars warned of economic meltdown as early as 1994 because Saturn, Uranus and Plato were aligned in the same pattern as the Great Depression from now until 2012. Planetary arrangements similar to that in 1929 to 1934. Just completed first leg down in a new bear market. We will now recover. Then we will have another powerful leg down following that. Wow, very similar to my Stock Market Forecast 2009 – Yin Earth Ox !

S&P 500 / DOW / STI Charts for 1Q2009?

Image
My Stock Market Masters are on holiday, so Stock Market Forecast - December 29 Weekly Update will be delayed. How will the S&P500, DOW and STI Charts for 1Q2009 look like? There are many research comparing 2008 to 1929. My Fengshui Master said the 5 elements of 2009 are very similar to 1929. So, we shall take a look at the following graphical comparison of the stock market crash of 2000 - 2008 to crashes in 1990 and 1929. Hmm... very eerie right? The chart shows the 1929 (Dow Jones index / US), 1990 (Nikkei index / Japan) and 2000 - 2008 (AEX index / Europe) stock market crashes, and the pattern is always the same: Bubble / Boom: stocks rise more than 350% in 6 years. Crash / Bust: market falls more than 50% in 3 years. Aftermath: markets are volatile for at least 10 years, and they end where they began. Human nature does not change overtime. Greed and fear drives the market. Investors behave the same in the US, Japan and Europe. And there is no "this time it's different...

How will the S&P 500 and STI Charts for 2009 look like? S&P 500 Chart 2009: 1. From Jan 1989 to Oct 2007 (275 to 1576), the 50% Fibonacci support at 910 had been broken and now become resistance. 2. S&P 500 likely to rebound in next 2 months. If break above 910, then likely to test the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance at 1058. 3. After which, the market is likely to form a small knoll and continue its fall. STI Chart 2009: 1. STI will most likely follow suite, form a knoll before continuing its free-fall again. 2. If break above 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at 1970, then likely to test 50% Fibonacci resistance level (2350). 3. A head-and-shoulder pattern could be on the cards. (Above are key points from article written by Xavier Lim in Share Investments Guide, December 19, 2008) I agree with this Big Picture Chart since it is in sync with my Stock Market Forecast 2009 – Yin Earth Ox ! How would the Charts look like from now to First Quarter 2009 ? Lookout for my future articles!

Dow Performance on December 26

Historically, the market has done much better the day after Christmas than the day before. Since 1980, the Dow has averaged a gain of 0.16% on Christmas Eve, with gains 56% of the time. On December 26, the index has averaged a gain of 0.31%, with gains 81% of the time. In the 2000s, December 26 has been very strong, with gains 83% of the time. (Source: B.I.G.) So, will Dow be very strong tonight? Tomorrow is new moon. Will US indices rally into the moon?

Presents For Christmas!

Image
Santa Claus called me on Monday morning inviting me to attend a 90 minutes presentation. I'll be rewarded for spending the time with them. The rewards sounded too good to be true. I remembered a similar call I received last year which I turned down. Then I thought why not give them a chance, I only have to sacrifice 90 minutes of my time, without obligations. So, yesterday afternoon I went to meet them. After 120 minutes, I said NO to the offer of the membership package. It's like a holiday package type of membership club. Ha ha, guess you know me by now. I'm only interested in investing on assets, not acquiring liabilities! Ho ho ho! Guess what Santa Claus gave to me for Christmas? 1. 4 days 3 nights holiday in Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket Voucher – airtickets & accommodation for two persons. Wow! Too good to believe? 2. Set Dinner for Two at Thai Restaurant. 3. Voucher for Free Water Dispenser worth $1800 – hmm... there's a hidden cost! 4. Spa Voucher worth $180 –...
