The Achilles Heel of Relative Trend Analysis™ (RTA)

SYNOPSIS

wpid-PastedGraphic1-2017-06-26-18-06.png

There is actually no evidence yet that we’re anywhere near having a full-fledged correction in stocks yet. That would mean a 10%+ decline from recent highs, and several of the major indexes are still hitting new record highs almost every week. A correction will happen eventually, and as with the cartoon, we won’t know at that time whether or not the correction will continue downward into a full bear market (-20% or more), nor will we know how long that might last. Fortunately, with the ProfiTrend Advantage and the underlying relative trend analysis™ (RTA) methodology, it won’t matter to us. We’ll know what to sell and when before the ship goes down.

PTP… Our ProfiTrend Portfolio APAR (annualized price appreciation rate) shot up to 104% over the past week. The S&P 500 APAR fell to 14%, but the S&P/TSX Composite Index APAR factually shed its previous loss to end up at 5% as of week end.

Featured Charts… The Achilles Heel of Relative Trend Analysis™ (RTA)
In our new “featured charts” section, we discuss a situation where our trend and consistency values might (occasionally) lead you astray, if you blindly pick your stocks based on our numbers alone. That’s something we discourage anyway, but we want you to understand why some trend values will sometimes look unrealistically high. We use recent examples, and remind you that our RTA trend screener should be just one component of a do-it-yourselfer’s home trading system.

Bitcoin & Other Cryptocurrencies

SYNOPSIS

wpid-url-2017-06-20-00-46.jpg

By now, just about everyone knows about Bitcoin… the so-called “cryptocurrency” that is not bound to any country or economy. It is it’s own entity. Transactions are highly automated, yet it still fluctuates in value relative to other real currencies. There are some advantages to holding some Bitcoin, as you would hold cash or gold, in addition to your stocks and bonds. This week we review the recent rapid appreciation in the value of Bitcoin. Perhaps there’s room for some cryptocurrency in your portfolio. Look for more on this in our Featured Chart section.

SYNOPSIS

wpid-PastedGraphic2-2017-06-11-19-53.png

PTP… Our ProfiTrend Portfolio APAR (annualized price appreciation rate) dropped to 68% from 86% a week earlier. Both the S&P 500 APAR and the TSX APAR fell three percentage points to the levels you see below.

Pot Stocks: Not Now, but Maybe Soon!

SYNOPSIS

wpid-PastedGraphic-2017-06-5-16-12.png

This cartoon clearly illustrates that we would all do extremely well with time machines. But it also hints that static forecasts are pretty useless. Any analyst might say that the S&P 500 will be up by 6.2% by year end, or a particular stock will double in six months. If it happens, it’s totally coincidental; and you’ll easily find that no one gets anything even remotely correct with forecasts like that twice. But dynamic analysis is a different story. We know how fast stocks and indexes are rising right now; and we know from academic studies that stocks and indexes trending up will continue to do so… well above what would be expected by chance. Fool proof? No, but we don’t need to predict target prices and dates. We go with the flow and exit when the trend peters out. How simple is that?

PTP… Our ProfiTrend Portfolio APAR (annualized price appreciation rate) rnudged up a couple percentage points to 86%. The S&P 500 APAR gained another 10% to 23%, while the TSX APAR finished only slightly higher from last week at 5%.
