This is one of my favorite charts to help diagnose the market. Currently it is in a spot where we should be looking for going long. But it can stay this way for weeks. Here is the chart. So lets start at the top. The RSI for the $TSX is oversold... Read More

The $TSX is giving us some very interesting charts to view. AGU.TO is resting on...I mean testing support. We can see a drawn out Head and Shoulders top for Agrium. The RSI needs to hold here. The 40 WMA has turned flat at best. The MACD is still spread bearish and moving lower... Read More

Point and figure charts are really interesting charts. When they oscillate between a channel or a given range, no new signal is created. In order for a PnF chart to create a buy signal, it has to mke a higher high. It will not kick to a sell signal until it makes a lower low... Read More
