From Cabot Top Ten Trader

This has been one of the wilder weeks we can remember, with huge swings up (Monday), down (Tuesday), reversals (Thursday) and big overnight movements (last night and this morning).

Sellers Still Lurking
The first three and a half weeks of October were brutal, with the S&P 500 (down 11%) and Nasdaq (down 14%) cascading significantly, turning both our Cabot Tides and Cabot Trend Lines bearish as we raised a boatload of cash. But those...

After a terrible couple of months, we finally got some legitimate good news this week—our intermediate-term trend model flashed a green light on Thursday, telling us the intermediate-term trend for the major indexes is turning up.

Over the Falls
During the past few weeks, we’ve seen huge up days, crushing down days, dramatic reversals (like today’s), big earnings gaps (up and down) and a slew of big-font headlines ranging from U.S.-China trade rumors, views from Fed members concerning rate hikes, resignations...

Individual stocks have done well, too, thanks to a combination of buoyant earnings reactions and Wednesday’s booming advance. That said, the intermediate-term trend remains down but all indexes we track have popped back their...

Positive Action, but Need to See More
After a hellacious October that saw many indexes, sectors and stocks crash over a three-week period, the past week and half has been a welcome relief. With today’s solid post-election rally, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have about...
