Keep An Eye On This Group Of Stocks

Does the above heading sound familiar? Keep an eye on this group of stocks was a post I did on May 20th which suggested that we watch the mortgage finance stocks because a large trending move to the downside was about to unfold and that is exactly what has happened.

The purpose of this post is not to brag about me making a good call (I'll be the first to admit the market has humbled me many times) but to reinforce that technical analysis does work. By looking back at why I was bearish, you might be able to recognize a similar pattern in the future and take advantage of it.

The mortgage finance index (MFX) is just about at the downside target which is 22.
