Robert prepared some material for
publication in the June 2012 monthly edition of the ASX Investor
Update newsletter (even if the
resulting article headline was a little misleading). The article is a Technical Analysis review of four key "Mum and Dad" stocks - Commonwealth Bank (CBA), Woolworths (WOW), Telstra (TLS) and Qantas (QAN). And the article is a realistic case study discussion that demonstrates the key topics: trends, Stop Loss, support and resistance, the semi-log chart, and the 30-week SMA (as per Weinstein). As usual, the "Slides+Speaker Notes" (for Premium Members) at right include extra notes to help with understanding the short-hand comments on the slides themselves. [ref-2012-06]

This presentation is an updated and totally revised and refreshed version of earlier material on this topic. It was presented to the Manningham U3A Stockmarket group on Thursday 10 May 2012. This updated material is quite lengthy (you can tell from the page counts shown at right), and it really needs a session of about 2 hours to present properly, and I tried to squeeze it into only an hour and a quarter (a bit tight). The Handout download and Slides docs are now available at right, and the Speaker Notes will be available soon. See more information on this topic on the web here (currently being updated), and the earlier "Beware the Bears..." presentation material below. The ten key lessons from the GFC are then espoused in some detail. This includes some sample cycles (eg. investment clock, decennial cycle, and property and Presidential cycles). [ref-2012-02]

Take an unfair advantage with a check list of 30 ways to increase your success in the markets. Risk and money management is not discussed much, because many people see it as too hard and too complex; but in this session, Robert lists a number of simple ways that you can increase your chances of success, and studies four of these in detail. This includes consideration of two key Fundamental Analysis criteria as well as very useful Technical Analysis considerations. [ref-2012-01]

The handout and slides available at right were delivered to the Melbourne ATAA meeting (April 2011), and again to the Perth ATAA (May 2011). They are an updated version of the set delivered to Manningham U3A Sharemarket Group (March 2011). It can take many years of reading text books and newspapers, attending lectures and seminars, and watching news reports, to hear a number of those very useful “tips” and observations about the share market. We can call them Share Market GEMs, or pearls of wisdom. They might be very useful clichés, adages, proverbs, axioms or infamous Wall Street sayings. BUT, watch out for the furphies! Over many years, Robert has accumulated a long list of more than 90 of these Share Market GEMs, many of which are great snippets of very useful information. But be careful, because some of the touted Wall Street sayings are actually furphies! In this presentation Robert shares many of the more useful, and the more contentious, GEMs. “A rising tide lifts all boats” — or does it? “It's time in the market that is more important, because we can't time the market” — the market professionals who tout this one obviously know nothing about technical analysis. “Sell in May and go away”. Show me a list of Blue chip shares — are they really “blue chip”? Public floats — a great way to make money (not!). In Australia, a correction or bear market happens on average every 2.9 years, and the market takes an average of 3.2 years to recover to new highs. And did you know that the share market is like an elephant? [ref-2011-03/gems]

[posted 16 January 2011 and revised 10 March

This slide set supplants the set from both the Melbourne and Canberra ATAA presentations in late 2010. It was presented to the ATAA Sydney Chapter January 2011, and it was used as the basis of an interactive presentation to the Share Market Investment Club (East Doncaster Uniting Church) in March 2011.

Aussie Bear
and Bull Markets Analysis
(Revision 9) This presentation (January 2010) initially takes a quick look at the newspaper headlines that often seem to contradict each other "market is up 10%...", when it is actually "down 5%...". And it explains that Weekly charts show us different numbers compared to Daily or Monthly charts. It describes the last 7 bear markets / corrections, and the amount of damage they did - including the amount of time taken to reach new highs. Then it looks at the last 8 bull markets, and the amount of increase. It finishes off by introducing the topic of chart indicators to help identify turning points in the market. This presentation has developed from the Beware the Bears one below. And it was used to start the Weekly Share Market Analysis that Robert now does on a weekly basis as a part of his own trading strategy. He can share his weekly analysis thoughts with you by email - simply register your interest. [ref-bbm02]

This presentation was originally entitled "The 10 Key Lessons from the GFC (for Traders and Investors)". It has been renamed and massively updated. It provides some background into the GFC of 2008-9, then reminds us that "trends" are important. The ten key lessons from the GFC are then espoused in some detail. This includes some sample cycles (eg. investment clock, decennial cycle, and property and Presidential cycles). The presentation goes on to provide some technical chart features and indicators that can be used to help identify turning points in the market so that we can be on the lookout for the share market bears. This presentation has been delivered to: the Manningham U3A, the Melb PC User Group WASINT Special Interest Group and the EIS group (of Phil Anderson) in November 2009. For some free information on this topic, see Robert's "The 10 Key Lessons..." web page (the link just above). [ref-bbm03]

This session was initially conceived in late 2008 to help answer investors' questions about what actually happened in the infamous GFC, with the bear market crash of 2008. It provides some background into the GFC, then reminds us that "trends" are important. The ten key lessons from the GFC are then espoused in some detail. This includes some sample cycles (eg. investment clock, decennial cycle, and property and Presidential cycles).

A presentation to the Australian BullCharts User Group in Melbourne in October 2009. This describes 7 different ways to set a Stop Loss. Of course, the notion of a Stop Loss is to help minimise losses on an investment if the price moves unfavourably. And it is to help protect profits if/as the price action moves favourably. The information in the presentation applies to both the Initial Stop, and to Trailing Stops. This is explained in the first few slides. The presentation goes on to describe a number of different ways to determine a stop loss level. [ref-stops02]

A presentation delivered to the July 2008 meeting of the Melbourne ATAA. This presentation starts off with some details about Trading Plans, which every trader should have. Then it covers the topics of trade entry, stops, and periodically revising stops. One question for traders is the issue of how to monitor an open trade, and review the progress and raise trailing stops. All these aspects are covered with reference to a realistic Trading Strategy example and uses a Watchlist, a Market Scan, and setting the price target. [ref-strategy01]

A simple presentation to introduce the concept of Stop Loss, and how to implement it, delivered to the BullCharts User Group in March 2007. The presentation also considers some of the possible triggers for people to make share purchases, and some triggers for selling. Knowing this can help us to set a better stop loss position. Three stop loss approaches are covered - the P-SAR (Parabolic SAR) indicator, ATR and the Wilson ATR Trailing Stop, and Daryl Guppy's Count Back Line (CBL).
