Are We On The Cusp Of Another Global Crisis?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Analysis paralysis?

I gave it a view because I'm fond of technical analysis, but not like that! He's way too deep in the weeds. I find that plotting lots of moving averages and all the oscillators and the indicators is information overload and ultimately clouds the picture.

I like to plot trend lines and trend channels and support/resistance levels on log price charts. Along with following macro-trends and using simple screening and listening to generate names. One thing he and others do that I find intriguing is working with ratios of indices and stocks.

I grew alarmed by the biggest macro-trend Nov 6 with the orange election. Then in January the macro-trends were getting even worse (tariff threats in particular). When both the SP500 and TSX crossed under a rising lower trend-line I got out of stocks and into bonds.

Later I want to do more such chart pattern analysis but on individual stocks to go long or short.
