..............TGIF And Some Useful Data/Info

The WMT Lead Indicator was a very bearish -0.73% versus SPX today/on 4-27, the NEM Lead Indicator was a very bearish -1.86% versus the XAU today/on 4-27, and, Weekly Fed Credit fell -$1.204 Billion in the 5 day period ending 4-25-07.

Dendreon's (DNDN) waiting on the FDA's May 15 deadline for its decision on Provenge, so, it obviously makes sense to wait for that decision before trading DNDN, unless you're very confident one way or the other about the FDA's decision, see http://www.fool.com/investing/high-growth/2007/04/26/dendreon-is-worth-a-shot.aspx.

See the previous post at http://tradethecycles.blogspot.com/2007/04/avnr-entered-wave-5-short-term-upcycle.html.

If one decides to trade rockets obviously paper trade for a while or trade very modest positions at first.

There are times when one should wait for strength after hitting a price target (hit a buy signal), such as if there's a well established downtrend line one should wait for it to clearly be broken (might wait for a Wave 1 short term upcycle and buy late in a Wave 2 down or early in a Wave 3 up, in the flat early part of the cycle), and, there are times to consider trying to catch the bottom (when I Watch and the WMT Lead Indicator are clearly bullish and/or a stock bounces at a well established uptrend line, then look to buy a pullback).

I'll be using cycle trendlines/channels, Elliott Wave patterns, gaps, the WMT Lead Indicator, I Watch, etc. to time the rockets. If it works the way I think it will it should be a lot of fun. We'll see.

As a long term multi-year investor in any stock, commodity, etc. you want to buy near the primary multi-year Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendline, for example NEM's is at 40ish right now, see chart 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. Therefore, NEM right now would be a great buy in the 40-42 range. Gold's primary multi-year Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendline is at $470ish right now, so, gold would be a great buy in the $470-500 range. When the vast majority of gold writers say it's a great time to buy or are bullish, as they almost always are, it's rarely a good time for long term investors to buy.

HUI/XAU's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market began 5-11-06, see charts 7 and 9 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. NEM's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market that began on 1-31-06 ended on 10-4-06 at 39.84, so, reliable lead indicator NEM is probably in a 5-6 yearish Wave 3 Cyclical Bull Market since 10-4-06, see chart 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. ....... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/ .
