| Fred
Goodman: 2001
Year-End Musings
December 31, 2001 The
conventional wisdom is way too bullish. But the indicators are still technically
intact.
Semper Fidelity December
28, 2001 An indicator that tracks Fidelity
sector fund performance has made a record move.
That Smarts!
December 27, 2001 For
the first time since last summer, the "Smart Money Indicator" has turned
down.
Why Bother? December
26, 2001 Monday's half-day session produced
no volume, and no new signals. But Fred thinks the markets could drift upward
now between the holidays.
Now Don't Get Excited, But...
December 24, 2001 ...the
NASDAQ confirmed its sell signal, and the spotlight moves from growth stocks to
value stocks.
And Now For Something Completely Different
December 21, 2001 The
NASDAQ chart surprised Fred. But signals are still mixed, and we're still in a
holiday trading range.
Home On the Range for the Holidays
December 20, 2001 Slowing
volume and random meandering in the trading range -- nothing but noise.
Encircled
December 19, 2001 The
NASDAQ can't possibly make a buy loop now -- and we're still stuck in the trading
range.
Take a Vacation December
18, 2001 Yesterday's rally was certainly
welcome, but the volume was not there. The holiday market may have already started.
Mr. Market's Holiday
December 17, 2001 Volume
is already starting to dry up, and signals are getting very mixed.
Be Careful What You Wish For!
December 14, 2001 Fred's
gotten bored by the trading range, and was looking for some action -- and now
a definitive correction is underway.
And Then... Nothing Happened!
December 13, 2001 Yesterday
was a write-off. While the Dow did complete a sell-loop, the other indicators
all say "wait and see."
Circles of Complexity
December
12, 2001 The price/volume loops are poised
for critical moves today to resolve elaborate patterns. The market hangs in the
balance.
Waiting for Santa
December 11, 2001 This
decline has to play itself out. But so far the indicators could be looking to
a revival of upside action by Christmas.
Dangerous, But Straightforward
December
10, 2001 Fred
Goodman The market's in
a tough spot, having dropped more than Fred would have liked -- but clear scenarios
from the price/volume charts will tell us how to trade it.
Divided Opinion
December 7, 2001 The
"experts" are divided on where this market is going. But for the moment,
Fred's buy signal is still intact.
We Have Lift Off
December 6, 2001 The
NASDAQ confirmed its buy-loop, and the buy signal born exactly one month ago remains
very much in force.
Breaking Out is Hard to Do
December 5, 2001 The
NASDAQ broke out yesterday, completing a buy loop. Can the other indexes keep
the party going?
Give Me a Break-Out
December 4, 2001 We're
still in a trading range, but resolution is coming soon... and it may not be good.
Still Rangebound
December 3, 2001 Bullish
sentiment is rising to dangerous levels -- but until further notice we're still
in a trading range.
Rangebound November 30, 2001
A sell signal was narrowly avoided -- so we're stuck
in a nervous trading range.
Suddenly Things Get Very Interesting
November 29, 2001 The loops are a turning
point, so to speak -- markets are vulnerable, but still intact.
Holding Pattern
November 28, 2001 All that happened in
the indicators yesterday was that... nothing happened!
Why is the Stock Market Like
a Bottle of Ketchup? November
27, 2001 An e-mail from a reader draws
a mea culpa from Fred, and a renewed commitment to objectivity in reading the
indicators. More Goodman Archives:
