The tools used at Beat The Dow are described here and on the linked pages: GO Charts, Market Timing Signals, and the NYSE Summation Index.
The Tri-Colored GO Charts offer specific buy-hold-sell recommendations for each ETF or mutual fund shown. Equities are listed in sequence by greatest relative strength, with raw scores and relative strength rankings shown for both the current and prior weeks. Click here to read an article describing GO Charts and their interpretation. Click here to view a sample GO Chart from July 2007. GO Charts are updated each weekend in the Members section.
Timing Signals suggest when it is safe to invest aggressively and when it is not. Ten market timing signals are monitored at Beat The Dow. Click here to see a Timing Signals Ribbon Chart from May 2006.
The NYSE Summation Index is perhaps the single best gauge of the strength--and best leading indicator of the direction--of the U. S. stock market. Click here to view an article about the index. The latest index appears in the lower left corner of this page. |
