Rebound Caution

April 9, 2020 by Don Roth

Wednesday, April 8, 2019 after close Broader market price action has unfolded almost exactly as I described two weeks ago on March 26th.. "The Dow proxy ETF (DIA) chart shows what a recovery would look like. I’m looking for price to hit overhead resistance (circle) soon and get slammed down (reflective) to around 210 where I would look for another reversal and leg up into a higher resistance level. Short term, I would like to see higher highs and higher lows until we get up around 250 w … [Read more...]

Thoughts from My Couch

April 5, 2020 by Don Roth

Sunday, April 5, 2020 I spent the entire week glued to the screen watching every tick in the Dow trying to get a feel for what the hell is going on and how price is responding to the long and strong historic reversal levels.

That's when I knew I needed to get it together, put on my daytime Captain Kangaroo jammies and get to work on my "Green Light Red Light" game with Mr. Greenjeans. Broader Market Review We are having another big green day in the stock market. As I wrote on Monday night about the broad market indexes.. "If they do hold we can make a … [Read more...]

Get Ahead of the Recovery

March 24, 2020 by Don Roth

Monday, March 23rd after close Let me start by saying I don't know when the stock market will bottom. It is just too early to call an end to the disruption. But, the indiscriminate panic selling will eventually stop and create opportunities to buy quality stocks at prices we haven't seen in years. This could end up being a once in a lifetime event, in more ways than one. Patient, long term investors should be looking to get ahead of the recovery.
