MarketBOB Status for

July 16-18, 2010:

Long Wave:

BEARish

Short Wave:

BEAR

MarketBOB Long Wave is bearish (in correction mode with the recent 10% drop in the DOW).

The Short Wave bear signal started with A Nightmare on Elm Street. For more, go to Safe Investing...

Toy Story 3 saw a 7% drop in the DOW over 2 weeks. This movie, although a positive experience may have been a confirmation sell indicator (get rid of all those old toys - i.e. all those stocks you've been keeping during the bull run). The market reversed with Twilight Saga: Eclipse, with a strong 5% rebound and a follow up gain by Inception with 3%. With light volumes and summer volatility, it may take a while to see if the bear market direction which started with The Nightmare on Wall (Elm) Street follows through to confirm a new Long Wave direction.

MarketBOB has consistently tracked and beat the DOW over the years but remember no one can predict the future (but we sure love sequels to our favorite movies and markets):

Movies We Love In Times of Depression: Box Office Signals and Market Reactions in the 1930s, 1970's and 2000s

Preview Here or Buy for $9.99

This book is a detailed review of the three depressing decades: the 30’s 70’s and the 00’s, the first decade of the 21st century. If you only invested in the Dow Jones Index during these three decades, you would have lost 44% of your money over thirty long years. When we are losing money, depression makes us want to see movies to cheer us up, escape from our troubles and release from our tension and anger at all the things that are going against us. These movies are signals of our investing mood and thus, the direction of markets over time. This book explains the direction of markets in these decades and the movies that signaled an investor change of mood from fear to hope and back again.

It is must reading if you want to understand for yourself the Movie Mood of the nation during times of economic stress.

All About MarketBOB:

MarketBOB is maintained by writer, independent investor and manager Craig Forgrave. He is an author (Devil Jazz, ENC Press), screenwriter (Member, Writer's Guild of Canada), playwright (first Prize/ Karsh Gold Medal winner, National Playwriting Competition) and many articles and short stories over the year (more on his writing at his web site link here). Craig spent the 90's investing and writing screenplays (made lots of money and had scripts "optioned" but none produced) so family and the dot com crash forced a change in direction and new insights into the role emotion plays in crowd reactions to movies and markets. Being a screenwriter well aware of how movies are designed to touch the emotional core of audiences, Craig built an analysis database of box office results vs. the DOW weekly results, which is the core research behind MarketBOB.com. He uses his technology background to maintain a series of web sites and blogs under the Ideariffic brand to explore ideas, boomer values, money management, writing and the home base for the company behind all these efforts, Sportscar Projects which is a management and multimedia company promoting the idea economy, lateral thinking, emotional decision-making and social networking.
