I stayed away from SOXL as I can not monitor other than ^GSPC and ^IXIC, but looks like market bottom and top affects SOXL too ! Still need to monitor SOXL and TQQQ. Your IBD post is very useful.
Even Morningstar gives 2000% in 5 years for SOXL and 967% for TQQQ.
There is one caveat that may apply with todayâs environment though. While itâs rare for the stock market to fall during a booming economy, itâs also rare for the stock market to boom in the midst of a nasty recession like it did in 2020.
There is the possibility of a âsell the newsâ reaction by investors now that the market is already up around 80% from the bottom in late March 2020. That is a risk worth considering.
Re-opening economy means donât buy tech stocks? Buy old economy stocks like CAT and DE. I have both of these, albeit, a small quantity compared to other stocks.
Below is my labels for QQQ count (Paul and I use different labeling):
Multi-year trend (wave V) = Up
Multi-month trend (wave 3) = Up
Multi-week trend (wave v) = Up
Multi-day trend (wave (3)) = Up
Hourly trend (wave (iii)) = currently up, may or may not have completed.
Paul is bull counter Only show his count when the stock is in uptrend⌠silent when it is in corrective wave. He doesnât predict that far⌠he is a swing trader like @Jil and do a little day trading. He doesnât hold position for more than a few days most of the time so crash or no crash, doesnât matter, he is out of the market. This is deduced from his tweets⌠his actual investing style, I donât know.
Since everybody want to be a smart ass predicting concrete price targets and dates, I have to follow such social practices, below is a chart showing QQQâs concrete price targets and dates This is provided for a giggle only, not to be taken as professional financial advice.
I found a count for SPX by Lara that you would believe in. Epic climb to 4400 with minimum drawdown. She gave an elaborate explanation of her choice for almost every waves⌠would bore you so I donât bother to link the YouTube, just take a screenshot.
Ok, I lied. Her count indicate a century corrective wave after hitting 4400 around Jul-Sep, so at a higher price level and at a longer timeframe than Panda.
Although my count differs from her in details, but quite similar price target for completion of century wave [I]. As for dates, her is Jul-Sep, mine is May-Jul. Cut n paste my count again for easy reference,
Doomsday? Just a century wave [II] corrective wave (likely to be a counter-trend)⌠look further out⌠it would be followed by EPIC century wave [III]⌠powerful uptrend! that last many many decades. Donât be so pessimistic and myopic, you should be able to live to see the EPIC uptrend, wave [III].
Didnât develop a bottom fish indicator yet Well, EW doesnât talk in those terms. Retracement of wave two is 23.6% to 99% of wave [I]. Given the way Fed works, we can look forward to best case scenario of 23.6% retracement SPX ~3400. Panda Wu predicts bottom at 2200, that is 50% retracement⌠working norm for wave two retracement. He seems to think it is going to happen very fast, over 1-2 years rather than long drawn over few decades⌠I donât have bottom fisher indicators nor know how to estimate dates⌠only know how to estimate price levels.
Whatever it is going to be a tense May-Sep Can happen any time in that time period⌠if not, then weâre all wrong.
Since @manch is so lazy to search the YouTube, I look up The Popular Investor for this latest updateâŚ
Essentially no change in his position since the last post about his view (link?). Just to summarizeâŚ
a. 3-6 months of disinflation so big tech will do well, he bought QQQ for that. 3-6 months mean Jun-Dec And also bought bonds
b. After 3-6 months, he expects inflation to rear its ugly head again and stock market would experience a fairly large drawdown All elliotticians saw this vision, he is also an Elliottician.
