Many of you know that I host a weekly radio show, Doug Fabian’s Wealth Strategies, in Los Angeles every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. PST. But for those of you that aren’t in the Southern California region, we have made it possible for you to follow along at my radio Web site, www.dougfabian.com. In fact, […]
Beating the Averages
The major stock indices are finding their legs after six weeks of trading between the 50- and 200-day moving averages. As you can see in the chart below, the S&P 500 Index has pushed back above the 50-day average, which is a green light for a new uptrend in stocks. My ideal trade setup was […]
Back Home in the U.S.A.
Back home in the U.S.A., we have a much different technical picture. After sinking below its 50-day moving average, the S&P 500 Index now has fought its way back to the 50-day average. But before this broad measure of the markets can break through this short-term, technical resistance mark, we’ll have to see a lot […]
The Black Cross Society
In technical analysis parlance, a black cross (sometimes known as a death cross) occurs when an index’s falling 50-day moving average meets its rising 200-day moving average. And as the ominous name suggests, this is not a positive development for a sector. In fact, it usually signals the return of a very serious bear market. […]
A Tale of Two Markets
Last week, we witnessed the U.S. equity markets make a solid push higher, and we now are trading well above the February lows. In fact, we now are trading right below the key, 50-day moving average (blue line) on the S&P 500 Index (see chart below). I suspect that this market, indeed, may blow past […]

Welcome to Market Purgatory
To say that the bears have been firmly in control of the equity markets during the past several weeks would be stating the obvious. However, the sharp decline we’ve witnessed in the broad market hasn’t been straight down. The market has experienced several volatile turnaround days, including last Friday and again on Tuesday. In fact, […]
Bouncing about the 50-Day Average
Have the last couple of weeks of trading been the start of a typical correction, or is it just a short-term pullback? Or, is what we’re seeing the start of the big, bad sell-off everyone fears? I think it’s much too early to tell for certain, but one way to monitor things objectively is to […]
Is This the Start of Something Big?
It was the first really rough week in over 10 months. Yes, I’m talking about the nearly across-the-board selling we witnessed in stocks last week — a sell-off that slammed the major market indices approximately 4% lower. The S&P 500 Index actually broke below its short-term, 50-day moving average last week, a clear sign that […]
Keep Your Eyes on the Four Horsemen
The market was up big on Tuesday, and down big on Wednesday. This kind of back-and-forth in equities is, I suspect, a harbinger of things to come over the next quarter. I think that we have to face the fact that buyers and sellers are going to do battle for the heart and mind of […]
