Stock Market Update


If you read my comments from last week regarding the stock market, you would know that I was warning of a pullback based on the bearish engulfment that had formed. Since that post the market has had its largest decline in over 2 months. The market is now approaching the 50 day moving average which is why I am writing this post now because I feel it may be time to look to get long again.

I'd like to see some kind of technical buy signal take place such as a reversal day off of the 50 day moving average. Today the market put in an inside day so I will be looking for a breakout of today's range as a possible buy signal if the S&P  takes out today's high.

Keep in mind that stocks tend to rally as we approach the Thanksgiving  holiday which is another reason why I am on alert for technical buy signals. Let's see what happens.

Hi Kevin,

When u are looking at 50DMA. Do you usually add the dividend back? or do you just go with the last 50D closing prices and disregard the dividend payout?

I simply use the closing prices and disregard the dividend payout because that's what most traders are looking at. Keep it simple, focus just on the closes.
