TMY Probably Just Entered A Cyclical Bull Market
TMY probably just entered a Cyclical Bull Market on Friday after a 1 year (almost exactly) Cyclical Bear Market, putting in a huge inverse spike (cycle low at 2.03 versus Wave A cycle low at 2.16 last November), the sign of an important cycle low, on very strong volume of nearly 4.5 million shares, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=TMY&t=3m&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=v&a=m26-12-9,p12,fs,w14&c==.
Thomson I Watch has been very bullish the past month, see http://iwp.thomsonfn.com/tfspro/iwatch/cgi-bin/iw_ticker?t=TMY&range=30&mgp=0&i=3&hdate=&x=5&y=9, but, volume is a bit thin during most sessions, but, is probably enough to trade, unless one wants to trade very large positions. TMY is up big today (12%+ right now), see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=TMY&t=5d&l=on&z=l&q=b&p=&a=&c==.
TMY is in a short term Wave 1 upcycle, and, in Wave 2 down I might buy some in the 2.30-2.50 range. It looks like TMY has entered the rockets club.
The due diligence that I do (as a minimum) on trading stocks is to look at insider trading activity, the balance sheet, mutual fund/institutional ownership, scan the news/maybe read some, check I Watch, make sure that they're probably in a Cyclical Bull Market (should have completed a 9-18+ month Cyclical Bear Market in the past year or two), etc.
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).
If one decides to trade rockets obviously paper trade for a while or trade very modest positions at first.
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. The primary Secular Bull Market trendlines since late 2000 are at 200-220 for HUI and at 85-90 for the XAU. Those are the targets for where the Cyclical Bear Market will bottom. 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/ .
