This page is dedicated and updated weekly using key CHARTS extracted from main report. Much like a photograph that speaks a thousand words, charting removes emotion and can save thousands of dollars. Charting allows markets to be timed as trades are done with confidence, not emotion. One uses their eyes and closes their ears - silencing unreliable sources of misinformation ... the propaganda media spins for drama.
Technical Analysis measures risk, permits accurate order placement in advance; a snapshot of where an 'underlying' came from and then maps a ‘forward price trajectory.' This avoids the "panic" since news always comes after-the-fact when it's too late to react. Fundamental Analysis depends on lagging data awaiting new information, i.e. earnings reports,often dissimilar from past assumptions. (Reuters) -10/21/08 American households have lost on the order of $7 trillion of wealth this year alone; couple that with similar dollar lost from the Dot.Con era and it's starting to add up.
Accordingly, as Master Chartists, we must be accurate before-the-fact; strategies remain true with accompanying protection orders and price targets. We must be accountable (as fee based provider) but because our broker-base depends on reliability to convey to their clients. While commission driven mavens claim knowledge from 20/20 hindsight; our livelihood and reputation remains a proud open record.
Commencing Sunday night, we scrutinize 28 arenas (inter-market relationships), global arenas and, 17 futures/cash for ideas and confirmations. Once a forecast is forged, it's held to as we seek to develop appropriate arena strategies; published among 40 various update reports per week. The sequence is Pre/Post Opening, Midday, and Pre-Close for indexes/stock specific. This diligent effort is required for timely hedging, protection and liquidation points, as well as overnight orders should reversals be warranted. Nothing is done haphazard as the proverbial HOUSE OF CARDS collapsing from failure of others to be as dedicated or responsible as we. Our effort is our reward (SEE) 2009 Long Portfolio
From a culture desperately seeking commissions, hidden agendas when a 'good buy' means "good-bye to your cash". In reality, “free TV advice" is after-the-fact, and very expensive in the end. CNBC's viewing audience is off 61%, having cannibalized viewers; as markets correct from overbought conditions, back-pedaling cover-up excuses commences. TV experts never admit being wrong they remind everyone "Markets climb a Wall of Worry" and insist 'buying for the long term' is best -all flawed arguments.

CHARTS DON'T LIE LIKE CHARLATAN EXPERTS DO: Charts are only as good as the 'reader'; it's an 'art form,' and we are one of the best Master Chartists interpreting each bar, not relying on software. We know in advance where to take profits, where protection orders need to be placed, and most importantly, determine which price points (or sectors) are proper to enter ahead of markets, not the other way around. While TV “experts” and fined-firms claim to know what is best for you after-the-fact 'they' never post their track record.

NOTICE - A special Chart Page concludes nothing can alter the direction of markets, proof that cycles, not man, are in control.
WATCH CAREFULLY, THINK LOGICALLY AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY
The ‘law of returns’ always favors the other guys -- we work damn hard to make sure it's us nor our clients. Remember no rally will make whole holders of stocks from years ago; nothing will expunge the trusting public who were defrauded. The journey for investors ends in grief from the obscene mongering by those who claim to be experts.
In time all people die, all companies die, too. That's why the 'buy and hold' strategy is wishful thinking. If you adhere to this concept long enough you are sure to go broke then die …. Eventually the undertakers and bankruptcy lawyers get you in the end. We can guarantee this will never happen to our client/ subscribers.
02.09.11 – PRE OPENING - CULTURE OVER CONFIDENCE – NOT LOST IN TRANSLATION - “A cynic," Oscar Wilde famously remarked, "is one who knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing." A Federal Reserve Chairman is not so different.
Knowing today’s markets seem to want to ignore news, technicals, even fundamentals, there is always something that enacts change later that we have proven repeatedly to be a delayed reaction followed then by overreactions we call “cause and effect” and those things need not happen immediately but will show themselves in time. Other expressions that remain consistent with all reports include “it’s always about the marketing of the market,” “experts’ opinions change without notice to bolster egos,” and “just because someone says something doesn’t make it so.”
This is why we’ve been able to show repeatedly the fallacy and disinformation when advice has been given in the past and the certainty that in the “long term” things will work out. The fact is that a decade has transpired and the return from stocks has been a pitiful 3% and those still holding shares purchased in 2000 are barely back to half-even. While media clamors about how corporate results have beat expectations over the last 8 quarters, it’s equally pitiful when some of these companies have been around for nearly a century and this is all they have to show for it.
Therefore reports from here forwards will only be headline highlights we deem as important and usually avoided entirely by the always-bullish media; to which the posters that follow speak for themselves about the fined-firms that always does for themselves and why the public is on to them.
We underscores our contention that CAPITAL MARKETS CAN’T FUNCTION WITHOUT CAPITAL and since there is still no trust or confidence the retail investors remains sidelined and with good cause:
CHARTS: Amusing logos The below logos speak to the true - the mantra behind each of the major brokerage firms as to their TRUE RAISON D’ETRE, and their not so secret hidden agendas to churn clients... all the Nobel commericals don't cure their reputation - as new documentation was discovered during the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission’s investigation.
**Wall Street Knew 28% of the Loans Behind Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Failed to Meet Basic Underwriting Standards - Testimony and documentation provided to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) by Clayton Holdings, a due diligence company, revealed that as much as 28% of the loans failed to meet basic underwriting guidelines. According to the testimony given to the FCIC, only 54% of the loans met the lender’s underwriting guidelines and 28% were outright failures.
Unfortunately, about 40% of these bad loans went into scrutinized pools sold to investors. This information, provided to Wall Street banks, was ignored when they purchased these loans, then bundled into mortgage-backed securities and sold to others. Furthermore, rating agencies Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, all charged with assessing the risks of securitized pools, ignored conclusive evidence that many of the loans failed to meet underwriting standards. http://www.stockbrokerfraudblog.com/brokerage_firms/morgan_stanley/

WHY ISN'T WALL STREET IN JAIL?
At best, the picture shows extraordinarily lax enforcement by the SEC," Senate investigators would later conclude. "At worse, the picture is colored with overtones of a possible cover-up."
Financial crooks brought down the world's economy — but the feds are doing more to protect them than to prosecute them Taibblog: Commentary on politics and the economy by Matt Taibbi
To understand the significance of this, one has to think carefully about the efficacy of fines as a punishment for a defendant pool that includes the richest people on earth — people who simply get their companies to pay their fines for them.
Conversely, one has to consider the powerful deterrent to further wrongdoing that the state is missing by not introducing this particular class of people to the experience of incarceration. "You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street," says a former congressional aide. "That's all it would take. Just once."
But that hasn't happened. Because the entire system set up to monitor and regulate Wall Street is fucked up. Just ask the people who tried to do the right thing. Instead ... 'Wall Street' is the Fed’s 'Main Street' and needs to be protected at all times... http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-isnt-wall-street-in-jail-20110216?print=true
