The simple fact is that investor sentiment is one of the most powerful forces in the stock market. It can make the difference between selling out at a market low and buying there. Literally, it can make the difference between big losses and huge profits.
Have you ever wondered why some traders routinely buy right near the market's lows, when most sane people wouldn't even consider buying?
The reason why they are able to make such masterful market moves is that they understand investor/trader sentiment. Isn't it time YOU joined the ranks of masterful traders?
WE can help you get there.
The stock market is an emotional place to be, and without the proper tools, anyone can fall victim to the stressful emotions that make 90% of all traders lose money at precisely the worst time possible.
The secret to profitable trading is not a secret.
The market is driven by two things: Fear and Greed. Too much fear, and stocks get mis-priced on the down side. Too much greed and they get mis-priced to the upside. The key to knowing how much is "too much" lies in the careful study of Market Sentiment. Trading and investing is inherently emotional, and when a trader's emotions overrule his logic, that trader is setting himself up for a loss. The trader that knows when others' emotions are overruling their logic is setting himself up for gains.
We track those emotions.
Market Sentiment is not a secret. People have been talking about "Fear and Greed" for generations. Few, however, understand how to use sentiment to consistently improve returns and reduce risk. This is where we come in. We are your experts. We track the shifting nature of our financial markets and their participants and devise new ways of tracking their emotions and analyzing their impact.
We then integrate this with time-tested technical analysis, and 4 decades of trading experience.
When Mark Steward Young, publisher of the Wall Street Sentiment Newsletters and founder of Traders-Talk.com garnered the honor of being named 2017 Timer of the Year, it was less by good fortune and more by dint of many, many years of experience in financial markets. Even as a child, Mark learned to read the now antiquated ticker-tape. By the time Mr. Young was studying Economics at Northwestern University, he was also trading his own account; first stocks, then options, and then index
options. After a summer of active options trading ballooned Mr. Young’s low five-figure trading account into respectable six-figure fund, his fate was sealed.
During his time trading in school, Mr. Young studied the work of his father’s close friend, the legendary Sedge Coppock, as well as such luminaries as Stan Weinstein, Ben Garside, Peter Eliades, and others, in a search for consistent trading results. After graduation, Mr. Young became a stock broker with Legg Mason, where he learned the utility—and limitations—of value investing.
After the Crash of 1987, the shortcomings of fundamental analysis became clear, and his skills with technical analysis and market timing began opening doors. In 1991, he became a registered investment advisor and started his own firm. In addition to managing money for clients, Mr. Young would occasionally share his unique market analysis with his friends and colleagues in the industry. When a fellow professional money manager offered him a substantial sum to provide this analysis on a regular basis, a new business wing was added; independent research.
In the early 1990’s, as online opportunities became evident to many forward-thinking traders and investors, Mr. Young became a prominent online contributor and commentator, which provided him a unique opportunity to track and study investor psychology, a very promising addition to his technical
analysis.
