A Standard Rally?

Jordan Craw 9 Apr, 2009

The current up move that is occurring across many of the major equity indices around the world has many including myself asking, at least rhetorically, how far can it go? A long way if it is the beginning of a new bull market! However, let’s assume for this discussion that we expect some more bumps along the way before a new bull market takes hold.

Keeping an Eye on the Time

Tim Walker 9 Apr, 2009

In my last article on Santos (STO:ASX) in Issue 300 of the Trading Tutors Newsletter, I focussed mainly on Price.

It's All Relative

Jordan Craw 20 Mar, 2009

Over this period of bear market action I have been continually dismayed by statistics used in the mainstream media. Statements like "...the Dow had its largest one day decline in history" may sound fair enough, but when we are talking about absolute changes in price they are really quite useless.
