More on the Market Cycle

Posted by jmot in Wednesday, August 1st 2007 under: Market No Tags

Yep, I am still around Now still feeling a bit feverish though. I know these are just excuses…I have tried my best. Wisdom teeth extractions (with complications),

moving house and now down with fever and headache.

I know…I have missed out on a lot of market actions out there. Volatile market this is.

Following my previous post on the market cycle. Let me share some related articles while I fight hard to regain my health. I keep forgetting health is the pre-requisite to wealth. Don’t you agree?

Jay Kaeppel from Optionetics writes about a 40-week cycle, the pre-election bullish cycle myth and also a trading system that is worth looking into.
A more current article from Fundsupermart.com which discusses about the best times to invest in the stock market. This article dispels the famous “October Effect” and “January Effect”. The good news is: We are still in time to make some money!

So much for now and hope I get better soon!

If you find this post or this blog is helpful to you in any way...do consider buying jmot a kopi (aka coffee)!

I have read alot about stock cycles, elections etc. I have not really considered it as part of my investment strategy but it does make sense. Have you seen any real world applications and results from this?

Meanwhile, I will be reading up.

Hi OptionNewbie, in my own opinion, the historical data merely provides a rough guide for me to put money into the market, especially when I am looking at longer term investments. So that I have a higher chance of reaping a better profit. Events like the Santa Claus rally are so widely publicized and acknowledged to the extent that there may be some level of self-fulfilling prophecy too

You must have been seeing too much red all over the place … must have triggered the fever!! (kidding!)

Take care and get well soon. Can’t trade if you can’t think clearly for all the heat in the head.

Cheers!
