Bond Prices Bounce off Support

January 23, 2017 by Don Roth

I have had my eye on TLT (iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund) for a couple of months as it has made its way down into support. Price has corrected about 16% from July 2016. iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) weekly Price has recently bounced off support, the green trend line from early 2011. This looks like a good entry with risk below green trend line. Risk is probably 5%-7%. Recent Trades Continue to hold all open positions. Trade Smart, Don … [Read more...]

Bulls.. 9, Bears… 0

January 8, 2017 by Don Roth

As we enter the 9th year of the current bull market from early 2009 there are no technical reasons that price won't continue higher. Breadth is good with all sectors contributing. Even with a current trailing PE multiple of almost 25 this Bull can go much higher. Pullbacks into SPY primary trend line support should be bought until this rising support level is violated. S&P 500 Index (SPY) daily ​​​ Giddy up. Reversion to the mean. I am a serial mean reversionator. I know … [Read more...]
