The trend continues
higher for the overall market with basic materials, industrial,
energy, technology and financial sectors leading the way. Trade with the trend, move your protective
stops. Continue to follow
your rules.
The economic outlook continues to strengthen heading into 2014. While the stock market does not go straight
up and instead moves in a zig zag manner of higher highs and pull backs to
higher lows, currently the weight of the technical evidence at the end of 2013 suggests
trend continuation into 2014.
Chart Signals hopes you have taken the time to
evaluate your 2013 trading performance and that you have NOW identified specific improvements that
you can make for 2014.
Albert Einstein: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over
again expecting different results.”
Remember it is big money
that creates and sustains the trend. As Granville wrote,
“technical analysis is the art of tracking the market, following the
footsteps of the ‘smart money’ crowd.
The ‘smart money crowd’ is no mysterious ‘THEY.’ It is simply a collection of people who are reading the market correctly,
seeing through the maze, unconfused by this hall of mirrors.”
