Lebow..John's analysis is presented well. I particularly like
the last 4/5 sentences in paragraph 5 where he discusses seasonal
tendencies but the need to use technical indicators/price action to
spot important turn (inflection points) in the market. Simply put,
he is suggesting to look for EVIDENCE. As far as cycles, there is
also an approximate (and very reliable) two year technology cycle
that is over extended.
As I stated two weeks ago the technicals were suggesting some
caution. Topping is normally a process and thus I look for evidence
(price action and patterns, along with indicators, and finally
sentiment). The presidential cycle currently lines up fairly well
with the mapping of this advance. My advice is to keep a clear head
and respect the market's action.
Steve, tnx for the frank and generous (to Murphy) answer,
especially in the weekend newsletter. This is what I really
appreciate with BPT: Deep knowledge and insights, no dogmas,
step-by-step approach with an open mind to always change stance.
Great job guys!
it is my understanding that in year 2 of this cycle (2014), the
norm is an average of a ~ 20% correction during the calendar
year (at which time a great buying opportunity presents
itself). An article in Barrons this weekend focusing on
Ned Davis noted this stat. good trading
