OCTOBER 2011 IN REVIEW
Mayhem. That’s what my schedule in October 2011 will be remembered for. Poor Queenie and Annie were scrambling to fix my topsy-turvy schedule after my September surgery put everything on hold for three weeks. As expected, I went on a marathon talking spree to catch up on all the postponements and ended [...]
Is This The Real Deal?
Or is it another Bull Trap / False Break-Out / Dead Cat Bounce / Rally-in-a-downtrend / Bear Rally …
With the benchmarks breaking out of their respective downside flags, this could be another serious spike for new highs. The only problem will be the volumes that get weaker with each up tick. Also, DOW seldom makes [...]
Three Years On …
I started a forum on trading around mid 2005 at patterntrader.proboards.com. That forum became a wealth of information and my personal archive. Upon teaching at AKLTG, the forum was migrated to www.wealthacademyinvestor.com/forum towards the end of 2007 to facilitate the growing number of members as well as the Investors from Wealth Academy (WA) and later on, [...]

SEPTEMBER 2011 IN REVIEW
The main event for me in September was my three-in-one colorectal surgery to remove a fistula, piles and hemorrhoid on Friday 02 September. I was then laid up at home for two solid weeks, unable to move much or do much else except pound out the day-by-day experience on Facebook. The medication [...]
The Shit Is Damn Near The Fan
We’ve been hearing all about the possibility of a Double Dip Recession and all the rhetoric about what governments are doing to navigate their way to a soft landing.
Now how about the truth … how about acknowledging that most countries are already in Recession and that we’re only a few steps away from Depression. After [...]
The PatternTraderTools.com Monthly Sector Report
For those not in the know, I have been publishing a Monthly Sector Report for the last two and a half years.
The report features one particular sector or industry every month with break-downs of individual stocks and ETFs relative to the sector. Occasionally, there is even a surprise BONUS! ticker to boot.
If you have no [...]
August 2011 in Review, September Preview
If this year is threatening to go into recession next year, don’t expect miracles from the market in the coming months. Given the economic and political state of most of the leading economies in the world now, there is little to cheer about with all six of the top six economies complaining about uncontrollable bleeding of [...]
The Shit Gets Closer To The Fan
The first week of August 2011 has been the most tragic week in the market since the drop in 2008. In the crash of 6 to 10 October 2008, the DOW lost 22.14% in that single week.
Not since the January 2009 tanker at the end of that fateful Financial Crisis have we had worse … until [...]
Is The Sky Really Falling?
This is about the time your Black Box system fails and you start copping intolerable losses. Your sell signals start popping up all over the place in conflict with buy signals. Your MACD or RSI starts looking funky and you start doubting your indicators.
Those who don’t believe in stops are now regretting not putting one [...]
July 2011 Review, August Preview
Roller Coaster. That’s the only way to describe my July 2011 … one helluva roller coaster. And that refers to everything that happened to me and not just in the market.
I got hit by two different viruses in three weeks and was on medication for all those weeks. That made me groggy and high most [...]
