In the " art " of reading graphs, could you explain what the significance of a " head and shoulders" appearance means?

» Art_Cominio - Mean Variance Optimization

There is Company on the web called Efficient Solutions that sells software (under $100) that implements the Markowitz MVO algorithm. The software is called MVO Plus, and plots the efficient frontier from data you enter in a spreadsheet for various funds or stocks. Any comments on either the software or the whole idea of Mean Variance Analysis for a long term investor?

» Rande - You should also check out Fronteir Analytics "Allocation Master"

You should also check out Fronteir Analytics "Allocation Master" and Ibbotson's "Portfolio Strategist." Both professional level, Allocation Master easier to use but requires iput assumptions.

Technical analysis is a joke. Chuck the whole thing. Just buy quality tech and hold it.

» skp - Fibonacci intervals

NASDAQ

last year 2,500
this year high 5,048.62
today 3,321.29

Fibonacci intervals of 38.2% = 4,045
50.0% = 3,798
61.8% = 3,503

facts
1.technology stocks are going to deliver fantastic returns

2.election year

3.other traders using TA see this over sold market

Fibonacci intervals of 38.2%, 50.0% and 61.8% of the distance between a maximum and minimum point. These extreme points usually are a significant top or bottom. These arcs allow a projection into the future time period. Where they intersect with the price movement may signal support or resistance points. If a Fibonacci Fan intersects these arcs, the Fibonnaci Arcs time location is considered to be more important.

I sold all my puts(how I take profits from big winners) last week, In 1987 I could not get a phone call into my 2 brokers, Friday Internet trading worked good, great improvement!

Now all long

» JenL_2 - Skp - Welcome to Suite 101!

I’m interested in your comments so far on this thread:

You said:

What in the TA charts indicates a possible 1K point rise in the naz on Monday?

Please explain this comment:

How about posting some links to TA Charts to help in your explanations?

Here are some TA-related posts on the “Favorite Stock Market Guru” thread:

Fibonacci intervals of 38.2% = 4,045
50.0% = 3,798
61.8% = 3,503
close 3539.16 today
when the market over sells, it tends to over buy

>using TA to identify market bottoms<
I cannot.
No TA call for 4/18/00, could have 3 up days then a test of the low, dollar cost average in, we are still in a down trend, when we break the red down trend lines(1,000 point range)then we have a change of direction.

For a long bear market we need a double top, like back to 4900 then a lower low 3100.
