Forget Tech, Coke Can Make You Rich (by Xerxes)
I found this stock in passing (funny how I find some of these interesting charts without seeking them out intentionally) and it looks quite bullish in the short term. It has a textbook bullish pattern of higher lows and is meeting short term resistance near 180. Fundamentally it seems cheap as well as the PE ratio is a mere 2.14. I think this has a decent chance to breakout and will be watching for the break above $180

Candlesticks & Levels (by Xerxes)
I’m watching a few different timeframes to get ideas from a technical perspective in SPX. I’m sure everyone in the past two weeks has been hearing about how “After a large down year, the S&P 500 returns +%”, blah blah blah. While I understand and occasionally do studies like that, I think calendar year is simply too long of a timeframe. It doesn’t capture the length or nuance of the bear markets to determine the next short-term move as we only have about 70 (?) reliable yearly candlesticks to base any analysis on, which doesn’t seem like a lot at all. I prefer to use quarterly as the longest time frame for my candlesticks.
