How the stock market works

Stock market research you use in the management of your self directed investment accounts

The stock market is driven by people. We might think, "nope, that's not right", because the mutual funds have their criteria for company earnings, interest rates, economic policies and so on, but those are people making those decisions. 

Historians will tell you history repeats itself. There are measurable behaviours associated with human action with a high level of reliability in predicting what is going to happen next. The stock market is a perfect fit. 

There are several measures that indicate a correction in the stock market. They are proven to be the most timely accurate signs. Do you know what they are?

 

Cycles Research

The stock market, along with just about everything else, is not exactly certain. However, there are ways of ranking probabilities. For example, you drag yourself out of bed, get in the car and you are quite sure there will be heavy traffic as it is rush hour. In the stock market cycles research, as we call it, is a useful market behaviour you can use to forecast the stock market. In our cycles research we have found stocks tend to move by predictable percentage changes and extremes are limited. In a recent pullback USAR fell over 30% in just two weeks. After this extreme cycle, the decline ended.

 

This area of stock market research has been studied by Crave Investor for many years and determined to be useful for its predictive input. In fact, it has been remarkably effective at bear market lows. Why are so few aware of it? Why don't mutual fund managers and the hot shots at Goldman Sachs know about it?

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Crave Investor is your investment markets benchmark for investors who manage their own portfolio, fund managers, advisors and those who want to stay on top of their hard earned money. Dig in, take a swing at it, it's baseball season.

                            Behavioural finance is the field of psychology that studies how and why human bias influences                                        financial markets like the stock market. Crave Investor explores what makes us act and react the way                                we do with investment decisions, providing education and strategy so we can master the markets. It's                              not so much about the market, it's about how we deal with it.
