New Year’s Resolution: More Monthly Charts
Do you want to know my cheat code?
It’s the Monthly Candlesticks.
I’m telling you. That’s my secret. And it’s been starring at us right in the face at the end of every single month.
It takes me about half an hour to go through my Monthly Charts. When you add that up over 12 months, it’s only 6 hours of work. There is no 6 hours the rest of the entire year that even comes close to the value I get from this monthly exercise.
Is this not a breakout from a 21 month base? [Read more…]
Topping Off 2019
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Typically on Tuesdays, I post a Mystery Chart, but I expect participation to be lacking this week and I’ve not found a chart I think is worthy of the exercise…I don’t want to make it too easy on you guys.
Instead, I want to look at a few charts that are all suggesting we may be due for a period of consolidation over the next few weeks.

Media Appearance: Stocks, Bonds, Gold & Energy
I was down in New York City this week and dropped by the Nasdaq to chat with my old pal Frances Horodelski on BNN Bloomberg. Frances and I have been rapping about the markets for the better part of the past decade. It was great to chat with her once again.
In this short clip, we talk about the new bull market for stocks, rotation into Emerging Markets and Energy, where we think gold goes and how bad bonds are going to get hit if interest rates get to the 3% mark we’re looking for in the US 10-year Yield.
Here’s the clip in full: [Read more…]
New Traders: Where your focus needs to be NOW.
I received an email recently from a newish trader who was asking for some trading career advice. I thought I’d turn my response to him into a blog post because there are probably many out there with the same or similar questions.
And considering my trading career has been anything but a smooth upward assent, I feel like I can empathetically relate to the urgency of his questions because I have some serious misgivings about where I spent energies early in my career, and more importantly where I did not.
Here are his two questions:
- If you had to start all over again, what would be the 20% you would focus on in order to make up for 80% of your results?
- What are the things you’d absolutely avoid being a beginner in swing trading?
My answer to both might surprise you [Read more…]
It’s A Good Time To Think
There seems to be more data available than ever as we head into the end of this decade. It’s up to us to decide how we use it, or ignore it in many cases.
I have my process and everyone else has theirs. But one thing that is a common denominator among all of us is this current period of resetting before we begin a new year.
This week I asked Phil if this calendar thing was something we made up as humans or if this is something real that we should embrace. This was his response:
Rebirth is a universal theme. Dates are milestones adding rhythmic structure. Not “required” but common across cultures and eras.”
I’m glad he said that because I enjoy this time of the year. I like thinking about the things we’re thinking about.
We’ll have a lot more charts and trade ideas this week, of course, as we approach our Monthly Conference Call Thursday (email me if you have not registered).
But for now, I have a question. No one ever talks about 1974 being the start of the bull market, which was the low of that period. You tell me it was 1982, once they finally broke out. Which makes perfect sense. But then why do so many people today call 2009 the start of this bull market? Think about the implications of a 2013 or 2016 or even 2018 start…. [Read more…]
Stocks Will Fluctuate
It’s that time of the year again. They all keep calling and emailing me asking for my “predictions” for 2020.
What do you want me to say?
I have no way of knowing what’s in store for next year, yet alone what to expect in December of 2020. And I think it’s really important to reiterate that. This idea of the unknown unknowns gets lost in the shuffle.
Sure, we were fortunate to make some good calls this year. Our customers have only sent us positive feedback. But as Babe Ruth once said, “Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games”. [Read more…]
