  • Shorting to Take Advantage of Overbought Market [View article]
    Why would I talk about 3-6 month time frames when that is not what I trade? I'll leave that to those who are experts at that time frame.

    My trades are swing trades that range anywhere from a day or two up to a few weeks. I am not a day tarder.

    Best,
    Paul Singh

    Sure things can get more overbought. However, nothing goes in a straight line. I expect a pullack, and am playing it.

    If you read closely you will see that this is a *very* short term trade. Please understand the time frame I am using. I am bullish on a longer time frame, as the charts I posted indicate.

    During the period you are talking about, I made some excellent short term trades using the T2108 when it reached *extreme* oversold readings.

  • 10 Market Ideas to Start the New Year [View article]
    Happy New Year everyone!

    Let me address a few questions and misunderstandings.

    1. When I say it's "all about the charts" and that "price and volume" are all you need to make money, I was talking to readers of my site (themarketspeculator.bl...), who are short term traders. IMO, fundamentals are a waste of time for this type of trader, though great for value investors. I mean no offense to long term investors who rely on fundamentals.

    2. Accumulation patterns arise when underlying volume within a price pattern is positive. For example, if a trading range has formed with strong positive volume and low volume on down days, this is a bullish signal.

    3. Why am I anti CNBC? I have nothing against the network. It's actually quite entertaining. Unfortunately that's part of the problem. It takes the focus off reality (for me that's the charts) and places it on hype, propaganda, fear mongering and what sounds good that day.

    4. Those expecting more details--this was a general post for 2009. On my own site I have provided many details about my trading style. Previous articles on Seeing Alpha provide some insight:

    Fred,
    You are one of the few who know how to use CNBC. Kudos!

    Tom,
    It depends on your style. If you are an intermediate or long term value investor, EPS can be usefull. My post deals with trading the current market with short term trades (anywhere from a few days to a few months).

    I trade short term and find EPS and other "fundamental" tools useless. Take a look at how many "good" companies have tanked with the market over the past six months. Those who understand how to read price and volume relationships by reading charts did very well over the same period.
