    There is no question that stocks are currently in a raging bull market.

    Improving underlying economic conditions and, dare I say it, governmental stimulus have driven the major indexes all above their 200-day simple moving averages in a strong upward surge. Many individual stocks are also trading above their 200-day simple moving average. The question is when is it the most opportune time to buy these uptrending companies?

    good luck!

  6. The respected head of Templeton Asset Management, Mark Mobius, made the dire prediction of an imminent 30% decline in global stocks today. This highly negative sentiment combined with the VIX future spread signaling a sharp increase by the historically bearish September/October time frame sent shares lower on the session. The DJIA ended down 32.12 after trading lower on the day, the Nasdaq fell 8.01 and the broad based S&P 500 gave back 3.38.

    "experiencing 5 or more straight days of declines"

    the "or more" of this strategy concerns me
     

  8. yeah, for sure. this is why its combined with the RSI (2 period) to further drill into the choosing. the lower the RSI the better the performance over 1, 2 days and 1 week.

    good luck, surf


    there is link within this article that explains the RSI(2) indicator.

  9. So, you're now a TREND FOLLOWER?

    :D
     

  10. :D :D

    well, this idea atleast tested out very positively---buying pullbacks above the 200 day MA with the RSI(2) has proven to provide a short term edge. For instance from 1995 to 2007 after the S&P 500 has dropped 3 days in a row, it has risen more than 4 times its average weekly gain over the next five trading days.

    that is just one example--i can't argue with the extensive testing used to reach the conclusion.
