I look at a 15 min chart and I'm seeing a cup and handle going back to 10-16.  Als, the ADX looks like it wants to signal a move.  Am I crazy or just in need of food?

MACD BB

For those of you who would like a little more info on how to use the MACDBB, here is a link to help.  The site is a T-3 trading system and they use the MACDBB extensively.

End of Sept and end

PIMCO and Art Cashin

Posted by ralph on 24th of Oct 2008 at 10:55 am

End of Sept and end of Oct are fiscal year ends for mutual funds.  The reason is that managers can be bonused in the same calendar year (usually December).  This explains some of the reason why the market gets "ratty" at their fiscal YE. If you were a fund manager who is up 30% in August and you you know your bonus depends on your 10/31 close, you may take some chips off the table.  The losers are saying deal! They are adressing career risk!  In November, the winners start to look "long term" and the market regains some sense.  This lends credence to the May-Nov cycle.  Sell in May and walk away.  Would have worked well this year.

Fed Chairman (my bad)
