Price Time Volume Investing

While I continue to be long term bearish, in the short term, AAPL is looking very bullish. Continue reading

Interesting that the Banking Index (BKX) low today was the low of the week. The BKX price did not plunge with the rest of the market. Continue reading

A Gann Fan is nothing more than a slope of a significant range and multiples of that slope. For those of you who have been following my Range Square analysis, you will notice that this is not any different. Continue reading

The SPX made a volume move down at the 50/50 point today. This is never a good thing for bulls. But, just as on volume up moves, we need to watch for confirmation of a trend down. Continue reading

This is the first in a series of posts meant to provide a guide to those who have been emailing about my “method”. What I do is very simple. All that is needed is a price data and a tool to plot it. Continue reading

This week I am going to walk through the dynamic SPX charts (available at The SPX Charts link on the right). The intent is to provide the thought process I go through to determine the status of the market. Continue reading

The Russell 2000 (RUT) broke out above the 50% price retrace that served as resistance since early May. Unfortunately, time is running out for the total market and the 1:1 descending Gann Angle sits above. Continue reading

My interpretation of the Gann Square of 90 is that it is a very simple method to measure the strength of an entity over the course of a significant time cycle - 90 days. The more I look at Gann squares, the more I believe that Gann was not directly concerned with price. The squares are meant to measure time. Continue reading

Today’s volume was about the same as Friday on the SP500 Index (SPX) and lower on the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMPQ). The DOW lndex (INDU) looks the weakest in the short term. Continue reading

I have a significant chunk of my retirement money in the PIMCO Total Return Fund (PTTRX). I moved into this fund in July/August of 2007 based on my cycle analysis in the spring of that year. Continue reading

The PowerShares Agriculture Fund (DBA) looks interesting. Agriculture futures have been declining since the end of February. Interesting that it has been moving opposite of the market all year. The 50/50 point is very close and this ETF should be watched for the next week or two to see how it reacts. Continue reading

The Powershares QQQ Trust (QQQQ) is in balance in price and time. Price moved through the 50/50 point and continues up the 1:1 ascending Gann Angle. Volume was better today but not as high as during the decline last week. Continue reading

The Russell 2000 Index (RUT) bounced off the 50% price retrace line at the high. It has been walking down the 2:1 descending angle for a couple weeks. It may just end up back at the 50% price retrace line at 50% time — which looks to be about mid-June. Continue reading

I missed the short term as the SP500 Index (SPX) bounced off the 3/8 line instead of the 50% retrace line. Continue reading

The SP500 Index (SPX) could bounce off 1350 in a couple days at the 25% time retrace point (and 50% price retrace). Continue reading

As a follow-up on the Powershares QQQ Trust (QQQQ) last week, I see price hit the 50/50 point. Continue reading

The Powershares QQQ Trust (QQQQ) is most likely heading for the 50/50 point in a few days. Today price bounced off the 5/8s retrace line. Continue reading

The Russell 2000 (RUT) is right at the 50/50 point and in total balance on the retrace working off the long term move up. This, along with the Value Line Index (VLE) discussed last weekend gives me a much better feeling about the market long term.

The Nasdaq 100 (QQQQ) has broken through the 1:1 descending Gann line and looks set to run to $50 or $51.50. The market seems weak based on the internals, but the price/time charts are looking better every day. Continue reading
