Good synopsis. It backs up what I've learned reading articles on the net.
Foreign companies are reducing prices to absorb the hit from the falling dollar. This indicates many foreign companies want/need the US consumer to profit or perhaps stay alive. Knowing the dollar has lost 20+% to the Euro, European companies are really sacrificing. I doubt the dollar will ever sprial down, because much of the world economy may suffer. |

YOu might look at the falling $$$ it as a devaluation of US Debt.
This has been an interesting discussion...What I noticed in the AMD chart was that everytime the 100 Day moving average was on the upswing AMD went above the Average and everytime the 100 day was on the downswing it went below. I really don't know much about the specfics of investing....even though I live or die by the Stock Market and Bond Markets....I just let Mother handle the investing...She's a REAL PRO at it...she watches those screens like a hawk....and talk about tricky...she won't lay one of her postions off all at once but just dribbles them out....so that no one will get wind of whats shes doing... I noticed lately Mother has been dabbling with the Retailers...I guess for Christmas season...with the economy on the rebound and the election over I guess shes gambling there is going to be a bounce those stocks... I also have noticed that she laid off her position in AMD here recently...speaking of AMD...she was buying it at $12.00 a share a little while ago now it's what $20 or something....not bad for a couple of months I guess...

Use a two-line MA or EMA for this. Check out Weinstein's book: "How to money in bull and bear markets". |

To follow up on what Danno said (hopefully I'm not misinterpreting you, Danno), use two moving averages, a shorter (say, 30-day) and a longer (say, 90-day). When the shorter MVA crosses above the longer MVA, it is usually considered a positive indicator, etc.
