Once a month I purge the oldest Market Stats posts from the blog, leaving only those from the previous month. All of the data is saved automatically in a spreadsheet, however.

Interview with Dr. Phil Pearlman on StockTwits TV

Dr. Phil Pearlman of StockTwits interviewed me on11/23/2010 on Market Shrinkology.  We covered the formulation of the Persistence UP and DOWN Lists in the last 10 minutes, especially their use of multiple time intervals.  We also covered the necessity for stalking to get the most from those lists.

A Quick Way to View Charts from the Persistence Lists

@TheRTTrader brought up a point this week that will be helpful many traders.

To quickly look through a list of stocks using a web service, bookmark the Finviz Stock Screener.

http://www.finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=211

Then paste the list of symbols into the Tickers box, to the right, and hit Enter.

This works great with the Persistence UP and DOWN lists, done separately.

Break time

I’ll be taking a break until around Labor Day.  The Persistence Lists will resume then.

Trade well and stay healthy.

Trader Pullback

Just like trending stocks pullback before they woosh, traders can do the same.  Each year about this time and in mid to late December, I step back to get a better perspective.  For years, my most precious asset was solely time. Now, personal energy has become as precious.  I am on a mission to make this my most productive year, so, through Labor Day (unless the Mr. Market starts throwing money at longs or shorts), I will rethink every aspect of my life and make copious notes and resolutions.

This includes life in and out of trading.  It includes interactions with family, recreation, health, role of music, endeavors that drain but don’t yield, more effective centering and sleep, more effective and efficient preparation, better anticipation of various day scenarios, better money production and the organization and routine surrounding trading, a much tighter reading and viewing list, and a more directed blog and twitter presence.  I will also know what computers I will buy when Windows 7 comes out.  I might also spend a bit of time with an HTML book.

I chose this time because, some (many) years, the market turns less productive for traders from mid-August through a few days past Labor Day.  Of course, this year could be different.  But, if we don’t get a break now, we’re unlikely to get one before mid-December.  Use it or lose it.

In large part I will remain reachable in the normal ways.
