<p>There is information below from Sentiment Trader, describing what almost everyone knows: The 2020-2021, 16 month bull market, is one of the largest and sharpest in recent history. In case you do not know, the analysts at Elliott Wave Int'l have been bearish from the March 2020 lows and 'fought' the bull market for its entire advance.

In case you do not know, the analysts at Elliott Wave Int'l have been bearish from the March 2020 lows and 'fought' the bull market for its entire advance.

<p></p>
<p>Question: If you we're them would you say anything about not only missing the historic bull market, but openly deriding those who we're investors, with a moral tone that they would 'pay'. What could they say and how?</p>

<div><h2>One of the "Sharpest" Rallies in 60 Years Is Rolling Over</h2>
</div>
<div><p>For investors, nirvana is a market showing steady and impressive gains without much risk. That pretty much sums up the past year.</p>
<p>Using a version of the Sharpe Ratio, the S&P 500 has seen the best risk-adjusted returns since late 2017 and ranking among the best ever.</p>

<p>Anyone reading EWT and Prechter and Hochberg?</p>
<p>Prechter hides behind one good commodity (but impossible to use ) call 13 years ago or so in 2008, and now makes another shoot for the moon commodity call many years out. So you’ll never know if he was correct, but you will need to trade many times before then. So he doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Useless.</p>

<p>Useless.</p>
<p>Hochberg, who has fought (stupidly) an extremely powerful bull market in stocks for 13 months, wait, for 13 years, wait...even longer than that, now points out (to distract us from the thousand ‘top’ calls for the SP?) that Tesla and Viacom had recent dramatic declines.</p>
<p>Yes, Tesla after climbing ~500% fell by 40%. Sure Hochberg, sure, you are quite brilliant at your job.</p>
<p>Like Nostradamus.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Don’t expect to see from either of them the difficult part of any market analysis: where and when and what to buy / sell, and the stop and exit points. They provide none of that. They are delusional or possibly charlatans.</p>
<p>Is the lesson that Elliott wave principle as a market approach is gobbledygook or is the lesson that Prechter and Hochberg just are terrible at it?</p> On Days Like This Watch For Stocks That Are Showing Relative Strength $SBUXtag:www.thebullbear.com,2019-01-22:3301355:Topic:1238292019-01-22T17:50:47.444ZBryan Leightonhttps://www.thebullbear.com/profile/BryanLeighton
<p>Today, all of the major stock indexes are declining sharply lower falling by more than 1.0 percent on the session. This decline comes after a huge rally that started on December 26, 2018 and lead to a near term overbought condition.

<p>Today, all of the major stock indexes are declining sharply lower falling by more than 1.0 percent on the session. This decline comes after a huge rally that started on December 26, 2018 and lead to a near term overbought condition. Whenever you see a big broad based decline such as today it is important to look for stocks that are holding up in this sell off. A few stocks that are trading higher today include Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:SBUX), McDonalds Corp (NYSE:MCD) and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (NYSE:CMG). The one thing these stocks have in common is that they are all restaurant stocks. Now if these market indexes decline further over the next few days or weeks it will be important to see how these key stocks hold up over that time period. In fact, the restaurant sector should be watched closely. These stocks could emerge as the leaders in the next rally. On days like this it is always important to watch for stocks that are showing relative strength.</p>

</div> Options Expiration Week Is A Time For Institutional Game Playingtag:www.thebullbear.com,2019-01-14:3301355:Topic:1236182019-01-14T18:24:55.586ZBryan Leightonhttps://www.thebullbear.com/profile/BryanLeighton

<p><span>This coming Friday is options expiration for the month of January. Usually, the trading week leading into options expiration is filled with a lot of game playing by the institutional crowd. This is generally a time when there will be a lot of rumors, ridiculous upgrades / downgrades and often some other far fetched news event. The bottom line, expect the unexpected during options expiration week.</span><br/><br/><span>Since December 26, 2018, the major stock indexes have surged sharply higher. Now with so many stocks trading off of their lows we could see a pullback this week. But then again, I have to think that after the Christmas Eve sell-off there are probably a lot of retail investors still holding put options into this expiration on a lot of the leading indexes and popular stocks. If this is the case, then the major stock indexes will probably hold up this week. </span><br/><br/><span>This week is also the start of earnings season. As you know by now, the street is looking for the earnings picture to be weak. At least that is what the market usually looks for when we have such a sharp correction like we have seen. In other words, market expectations have been lowered. So any surprise in earnings could certainly help the markets this week. Either way, traders will have to look at every stock on an individual basis. Many market leading stocks are trading into resistance, while many others are still lagging and should have a way to go before reaching a major resistance point. Just remember, this is a week to be on your toes as options expiration is usually filled with game playing and lots of whipsaw.</span><br/><br/><br/><img src="http://www.inthemoneystocks.com/images/russell%202k%201.14.19.png"/></p>

The next major support level that I see for this stock will be around the $40.00 area. This level is where the stock broke out in February 2017. Should ATVI stock back-test this level it should lead to a nice swing trade opportunity.</span><br/><br/><br/><img src="http://www.inthemoneystocks.com/images/ATVI%2012.3.18.png"/></p>

<p><span>The stock chart on oil could signal a massive collapse in the coming months. Spot crude is trading at $66.50, hitting a long-term trend line of major support. However, if oil breaks below this level, it will likely collapse within 6 months to $52.00/bbl. Watch closely, it may be on the horizon.</span></p>
