(New York)

In a refreshing article given the relative doom and gloom over the last month, Barron’s has published a piece arguing that it is the bears, not the bulls, that need to be afraid of the equity market right now. The view is based on technical analysis. Many might be interested to learn that rather than the technical indicators showing a bull market at or near its peak, signs are suggesting a move upward may be in store. The piece is also quick to point out that despite the shallow correction a month ago, the bull trend for the market has continued unabated.

FINSUM: We don’t put a great deal of stock in technical analysis and only view it as useful as a companion to fundamental analysis. Nonetheless, it is good to stay abreast of this information.
