Signposts: A Method of Market Forecasting Which Strategies to Employ

Oct 26, 2009

3 Roadsigns popped up today from 3 different people whose opinion and calls on the market activity I respect.

These people aren’t market timers – if anything they’re probably early with their calls, but when I hear or read people I respect offering these types of market forecasts, I pay attention and start to pull up previous strategies I think might be appropriate – in this case Bearish.
Here’s the evidence:

Signposts can come from anywhere. The reason for them is simple: to understand with more clarity what’s coming ahead. Devise your system of signposts – of places that will deliver the information you’ll use to understand the larger, dominant themes in the market, so you’ll know whether your swimming upstream or with it.
