Frankly I think the issue is not about short or long.It takes
what it takes.If the markets are at a crossroads and there are x,y
and Z scenarios then it will take longer ..On the other hand if the
trend is up and we have clear skies ahead then short will
suffice.Like any job the point should be doing a good job and not a
quick one and the issue here is simply what will suffice given the
state of the market at that time.I imagine the split updates of
watchlist and market updates will be useful for some people.
Frankly if you don't want to listen then just zip through the
charts yourself that Matt or Steve present without the sound.It
ONLY takes a lot of time if you listen to it all.Somedays you need
to ,other days you don't.
thanks, we're going to try and do that more, 10 min would be a
goal, no more than 15
also, if you guys didn't mind, we were thinking about doing two
more extensive market updates during the week either Mon/Wed or
Tus/Thur and then on the other two days, having a very short
update, maybe with just a few paragraphs of text and a few charts
and that's it. Would you guys be open to that? Now that
said, if something major happened on a day we were scheduled to do
a light update, we'd do a more extensive update.
Shorter updates seem like they would be a win/win.
Most of the time if you went over the S&P I'm not sure you need
to do QQQQ, Dow, Naz -- maybe just say "but the Dow is a little
stronger and the Naz is weaker" or something like that you wouldn't
need to do those charts and go over them in detail. Then a few
sectors (like financials, dollar, gold, oil) *if* you think they
are worth noting something about. Think that would be great.
Thanks!
I believe, for my thinking, that your plan for this format would
be beneficial to most of us. Maybe spend any available time more on
the Trade Ideas which in this market have been working for the most
part.
What I find VERY useful is when you post your "revelation"
charts early (before 10PM EST), without audio, just in the blog.
For instance, those sentiment readings the other night were
very eye opening. If you see something new that hasn't been
mentioned, showing the charts in the blog really highlights that
development (sometimes it can get buried if the update is long).
You are presently doing this, just wanted to say that it
helps.
Just speaking for myself, you guys spend too much time on the
market updates now, sometimes it redundant. More time spent on the
trade ideas along with entry and stops and profit targets would be
better, IMHO.
Mattt, Love the quick format for the weekday updates

That's how I see it anyway.

good idea. I'm not sure
Posted by jamesl on 3rd of Dec 2009 at 10:31 am
good idea. I'm not sure a lengthy, in-depth analysis is neccesary every day.
Good Idea
Posted by RM686 on 3rd of Dec 2009 at 10:25 am
I stay awake waiting for the updates to come out. I don't see how you guys can do it. The next day I am exhausted.
All I need to know is is the trend, up, down stay in cash and big changes.
The weekend and one or 2 during the week would be fine. Better to know that you guys are getting some sleep. You don't want to burn your selfs out.

matt -- short updates would be good actually -- maybe some charts and repeat the levels for the next day.
Yes, good idea
Posted by keithbob on 3rd of Dec 2009 at 10:17 am
yes, great! going deep into all the indexes 5 days per week is overkill and too much work for you and Steve IMHO.
short updates ok
Posted by dallassteve on 3rd of Dec 2009 at 10:14 am
Short updates are better, unless something major happens.
I like it when (like last night) you just say: nothing has changed.
Revelation charts...

You are the best service I've ever been part of.
Thanks for all you do!
I love the short updates,

I love the short updates, and to be honest if all the update consisted of was charts I would be happy.
Yes, two separate reports are

Yes, two separate reports are easier to find information.
