Stock Market Efficiency
According to investment theory, the markets are efficient. By efficient it is meant that all the information related to an equity is known by all investors and the price paid in the market is the correct price.

50% Retracement in the Stock Market Indexes is Possible
There is synergy in all the indexes. As shown in the following charts, there seems to be agreement between the 50% retracement line and areas of support. We guess that is where we are headed. A month ago we saw problems but we were way too early to go short. The indexes broke the ascending [...] -

Interesting Stocks for 10/8/2010 – A Hint of a Correction
We see some churning in some stocks that we are studying. For example, AmBev (ABV) seems to be stuck around 130 and cannot seem to penetrate it (disclosure: we own ABV in our paper and real money accounts +20% gain). Other stocks are stalling or correcting. We are still long the market and we will [...] -
Interesting Stocks for 10/6/2010 – Reloaded Edition
We have been fully invested until two days ago when we got stopped out of some fake positions. We are long this market and we hope that October 2010 bucks the bearish trends of the past. We do not pay too much attention to market cycles since we let the market speak to us. We probably get some decent entry prices today as the ADP report showed suprise job losses in the private sector. We can play a commodity theme in the market as we got a strong buy signal on the CRX - commodity index. -
