Why S&P 500 will be much higher in 5 years?

Recommended Posts

US equities are climbing rapidly. The S&P has added 15 points so far and the Dow has soared 125 points already.

There has a huge amount of positive US macro data recently starting with the Consumer Spending for March rising 0.2%. Additionally, incomes rose 0.2%. Then Pending Home Sales for rose 1.5% for March since February.

 

This week has been even better with jobless claims decline being responsible for the US indices soaring. http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/market-analysis/15950-bloomberg-updates-7.html#post179349

I fully agree that the S&P will be higher in 5 years, but it will take some extensive analysis to substantiate that claim. One thing I can be sure of is that the S&P will be at a higher level on June 1, 2013.

I am going to look to the period between 1967 and 1984, as well as, for the period between 2000 and 2013.

As I have written before now, my guess about what is happening is that the S&P 500 since 2000 is following the path between 1968 and 1984.

At this time the key is to understand if the breakout above the long-term resistance line was or not decisive.

When the breakout is decisive, the resistance level then becomes a support level, but I don´t know yet whether or not this will happen. My big question is this: Will red support line hold?

I'll try to explain why the S&P 500 will be much higher in 5 years.

(It's a guess, not a certainty.)

 

Chart 1 - S & P500 index monthly candlestick chart between March 1964 and January 2013.

 

My guess about what is happening is that the S & P 500 since 2000 is following the path between 1968 and 1983.

This suggests that the S&P 500 may rise in the long term.

 

 

Chart 2 - The following chart shows the Price ROC indicator between March 1964 and January 2013.

 

The triple bottom pattern that the indicator did in 1994 was repeated between 2011 and 2012.

After the triple bottom pattern in 1994, the S&P 500 rose during 5 years.

This also suggests that the S&P 500 may rise in the long term.

 

I would rather say Quantitative Easing (QE) can be one of the factor which will help S&P 500 index to touch a new higher, may be couple of years down the line. (Fundamental point of view on the market).

The long term market timer portfolios went down its first month since the start.

Following 7 consecutive months of rises, the S&P 500 fell in June.

 

 

Note:

On 10 Jun 10 there was a 2 –for- 1 Stock Split for the ProShares UltraPro S&P500 (UPRO).

 

 

The following are the long-term market timer portfolios:

S&P will always be higher in any 5 years gap just as the inflation rate is higher in any 5 years gap and value of the currency is weaker in any 5 years period.

The portfolios reached yesterday a new annual maximum monthly.

Specifically, the long term market timer high risk portfolio reached 53,59% yesterday, a new annual maximum monthly.

It has remarkable how quickly the market goes up. The S&P 500 has fallen just one month since the beginning of the year.

I will put stop loss orders in all open positions.

An increased number of technical indicators that I use for short term trading are changing to sell signal and I have more doubts than usual about the future direction of the market in short term.

Thank you.

 

 

 

Today I close these portfolios and I start another US long term stock market timer portfolio in the forum.

The goal was to share long term trading ideas in the forum and make a good result in the portfolio. I think that the goal has been reached. This result was mostly achieved by the analysis of S&P 500 made in January 2013.

I hope that the result in next portfolio will go the same away.

    • Well said. This principle is highly analogous to trading. Any human can easily click buy or sell when they "feel" that price is about to go up or down. The problem with feeling, commonly referred to as "instinctive" trading, is that it cannot be quantified. And because it cannot be quantified, it cannot be empirically tested. Instinctive trading has the lowest barrier to entry and therefore returns the lowest reward. As this is true for most things in life, this comes as no surprise. Unfortunately, the lowest barrier to entry is attractive to new traders for obvious reasons. This actually applied to me decades ago.🤭   It's only human nature to seek the highest amount of reward in exchange for the lowest amount of work. In fact, I often say that there is massive gray area between efficiency and laziness. Fortunately, losing for a living inspired me to investigate the work of Wall Street quants who refer to us as "fishfood" or "cannonfodder." Although I knew that we as retail traders cannot exploit execution rebates or queues like quants do, I learned that we can engage in automated scalp, swing, and trend trading. The thermonuclear caveat here, is that I had no idea how to write code (or program) trading algorithms. So I gravitated toward interface-based algorithm builders that required no coding knowledge (see human nature, aforementioned). In retrospect, I should never have traded code written by builder software because it's buggy and inefficient. However, my paid subscription to the builder software allowed me to view the underlying source code of the generated trading algo--which was written in MQL language. Due to a lack of customization in the builder software, I inevitably found myself editing the code. This led me to coding research which, in turn, led me to abandoning the builder software and coding custom algo's from scratch. Fast forward to the present, I can now code several trading strategies per day across 2 different platforms. Considering how inefficient manual backtesting is, coding is a huge advantage. When a new trading concept hits me, I can write the algo, backtest it, and optimize it within an hour or so--across multiple exchanges and symbols, and cycle through hundreds of different settings for each input. And then I get pages upon pages of performance metrics with the best settings pre-highlighted. Having said all of this, I am by no means an advanced programmer. IMHO, advanced programmers write API gateways, construct their own custom trading platforms, use high end computers with field programmable gateway array chips, and set up shop in close proximity to the exchanges. In any event, a considerable amount of work is required just to get toward the top of the "fishfood"/"cannonfodder" pool. Another advantage of coding is that it forces me to write trade entry and exit conditions (triggers) in black & white, thereby causing me to think microscopically about my precise trade trigger conditions. For example, I have to decide whether the algo should track the slope, angle, and level of each bar price and indicator to be used. Typing a hard number like 50 degrees of angle into code is a lot different than merely looking at a chart myself and saying, that's close enough.  Code doesn't acknowledge "maybe" nor "feelings." Either the math (code) works (is profitable) or doesn't work (is a loser). It doesn't get angry, sad, nor overly optimistic. And it can trade virtually 24 hours per day, 5 days per week. If you learn to code, you'll eventually reach a point where coding an algo that trades as you intended provides its own sense of accomplishment. Soon after, making money in the market merely becomes a side effect of your new job--coding. This is how I compete, at least for now, in this wide world of trading. I highly recommend it.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
