The difference is the time value of money. If you own cash S&P you collect the dividends. The forward always trades at a discount to reflect this difference. Over the next 90 days they will converge to each other.

I have been a subscriber for the last 11 months and I am very skeptical of how he approaches the market. He would not consider a buy in March and shorted the market 3 or 4 times in the Spring only to be stopped out. Now we have the never ending bull - gimme a break! I will let my subscription lapse in September and renew here at BPT

I use log scale to look at charts that have broad price ranges over long time frames.

ABT will be just fine using arithmetic IMHO. Others might have different opinions. Over time and many many charts you develop a comfort level - time frame indicators etc. I use the same indicators on all my charts and then look a the stock in many different time frames. Look at a ten year weekly of ABT then a 3 year weekly then a 3 year daily then a one year daily and so on to 5 or 15 min charts. Find the time periods you feel most comfortable with. ABT has lot history so you could use it hone your TA skills.

Good Luck,

FYI RP mentioned a bug in the blog that I also noticed. If you click edit the whole post disappears.

200 EMA comes in at 4.92

Same here

That is possible. I just think it is the normal ebb and flow of the market. When it exceeds the 61.8% level in a time frame something has changed. So far this is looking pretty normal on t 5 min chart.

So far respecting 38% Fib

Shut my browser! - be careful

I second that.

I have been at this for more than 40 years now and I have been here just a few months but what Matt and Steve do in my experience makes the word extraordinary an understatement!
