    The Big Wave Trading Model switched back to a BUY mode on 3/5/13 following a switch to a NEUTRAL mode on 2/25/13. The switch to NEUTRAL on 2/25/13 in our analysis of over 130 years of stock market history should have not switched back to BUY mode so quickly. The price breaks on 2/20 and 2/25 have historically led to months of more »

    The Big Wave Trading Portfolio Model remains under a BUY signal from 1/2/13. There is added pressure arising on the overall model, thanks to the Wednesday and Thursday distribution days and the overall wedging pattern of the overall uptrend. This, along with the lack of gains above 1.5% on higher volume, following the 1/2/13 signal, keeps us in the cautious bull camp which is where more »

    The Big Wave Trading Portfolio remains under a strong BUY signal generated at the start of the year. There continues to be absolutely no sign that the market is finished with its steady and unusual move higher. Trying to guess when the move will end is futile and until we see real cracks in the price/volume armor there is nothing to do but to continue to ride the trend more »

    The Big Wave Trading Portfolio remains under a strong BUY signal from 1/2/13. There remains absolutely zero indications, via price action, that there is anything to do but ride the trend higher here.

    Despite the constant discussions of what is wrong with this rally and how extreme it is (we will go over that below), stocks continue to breakout from solid consolidation patterns with other stocks either trending more »

    The Big Wave Trading Portfolio remains under strong BUY signals across the board. While we still hate the relationship between volume and price, we realize it simply does not matter in a world where printing currency is the modus operandi. With that being the case, price is our master and price remains in a strong uptrend.

    It is Super Bowl Sunday and there is no need to psychoanalyze the action more »

    The Big Wave Trading Portfolio remains under BUY signals across the board. There is nothing still to do or think too much about as the trend higher is smooth and has come under very little pressure minus two minor distribution days in the Nasdaq Composite.

    Overall, many traders believe that it is time for us to take a rest or pullback. However, traders have been thinking this for a while more »

    The Big Wave Trading portfolios all remain under a strong BUY signal as stocks tacked on more gains the past week with volume coming in higher than the previous week. Overall, it was another strong week and nothing out there is currently of concern on our radar.

    Despite the low VIX, the high amount of bulls in the Investors Intelligence survey, and lack of extremely strong volume when we do more »

    The Big Wave Trading Portfolio remains under a BUY condition across the board. This past week was further confirmation on the current strong technical condition of the overall market. While it is not perfect and we can argue about volume on the days we do rally, it is what it is and that is a strong current rally favoring all sectors and market cap size across the board.

    The Big Wave Trading Model  returned to a BUY signal across the board, following the resolve of the Fiscal Cliff. The gap up was powerful and very strong. The strength was broad, volume was well above average, and breakouts were everywhere. On top of that, the price action on Thursday and Friday has been tight and many stocks that did not breakout on Wednesday broke out on Thursday and Friday more »

    In the stock market there is a lot of bad information. This information comes at you in all forms of different media. Do you listen to this information or ignore it? This is what separates the best traders from everyone else. The best traders have learned to ignore everything except the truth. The only truth is price.

    Price is the only fact that matters to a trader. I am a more »
