Recap

Market volatility = Dollar Cost Average!!!!

Review

Use the market’s volatility to your long term advantage – no there is no instant American gratification for this strategy. You will have to wait (probably for years) to be gratified.

What To Do

Twitter can be an effective way to disseminate information to the masses “quickly”. Twitter is also an effective tool to document what has been recommended – as is the case for why we use twitter. Most people aren’t going to get a tweet (as they are affectionately called) and go off that recommendation ‘alone’. If they follow the person, then they might. Which is why I would strongly recommend following us on twitter (@clarkbros) for daily trading ideas, intraday technical formations, and daily market buying and selling points. Most of our clients think that we do not trade at all, ever. This is not true. Trading is a very difficult, highly unprofitable, unpredictable, unreliable, not repeatable, not sustainable investment strategy. So, knowing that, why would we be ‘traders’ at Clark Bros. That being said, we still follow the markets and look at technical formations to enhance buying (and our occasional selling) points in our most favored long term positions (mutual funds, ETFs, and stocks). Our latest tweet should give you a specific real time example (i.e. we tweeted this on Sept 1, it’s now Sept 6): @clarkbros said: Dow has 'clark bar' technical formation @ 11,700 = dont sell, keep cash, market to approach 11,000, then buy! Note, our tweet says, don’t sell….not, sell everything, panic, run for the hills, throw O*@E50 at your t.v. Note, it also says buy at 11,000 (where we are today). Why 11,000, because that is the next support level for the Dow (roughly). Note, tweets are only 140 characters; so, you have to learn to be brief and sometimes cant ‘explain’ your statement. On calling technical levels on securities you should never bet the farm (see first note), because technical readings are often dead wrong. That’s why we emphasize a hybrid approach of keeping what you have (in case you are wrong), hold cash (in case you are right), buy at a point lower than you would have without looking at the technicals (i.e. don’t wait for the bottom). Referencing this last point, today (i.e. this morning) would be a good time to buy more, because we are lower now than we were on Sept 1. Could the market go lower, lower, lower….absolutely! Nobody knows for sure; well, except for that guy who draws the charts, ha-ha!!!!
