Commentary: Bull markets don't end when lots of stocks are hitting new highs
By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch
================================================================
PERFECT!!
Helloooo?
Uhhhh hello, Mark?
Bull Markets do end ... or at least CORRECT when hitting new highs.
And it never fails .... there's always some "guru" telling people to buy at the highs ...

Karen:
Did you even look at the filter I posted? Take a minute or two to actually look at history, so that you can repeat what works.
I will say that it has been a very upbeat last year, but if you look at when the new highs - new lows went positive, it was a pretty good timing signal for going long

Kevin,
No, I'm not kidding.
You said:
"When this line crosses below 0, look out!"
You mean the osc line, correct?
It still hasn't crossed below 0.
Yet the market has dropped 400 pts in the last 2 days.
Where's the warning?
Clearly, I'm missing something ...

This is not a short-term singal. This is one that tends to track the larger trend. Look at late 2008 and early 2009 on the oscillator. Now look at when it crosses above zero (sometime in April). After it jumps back and forth a bit it takes off and doesn't look back.
Just like the market did.
It should not be a lagging indicator, in that it does not use any MA smoothing. It just takes the day's high and lows and plots them. What it is telling me is that we are in a pullback within an uptrend, and therefore one should trade accordingly.

I hope you're right,'cause I'm deep under water right now.
Based on my analysis of FXI and XPP (China + US = "coupled"), I'm thinking Monday will be an up day for China, and the U.S. will follow.

Too bad that osc indicator doesn't work for short-term.

How short term does it need to be?
A while back I posted a slight variant of this one:
Basically you can put any stock in, if you are looking for holding times of several weeks (who cares how long you hold it if it keeps going up).
