The Mythical Magical Bullish Rising Wedge Technical Chart Pattern / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Rambus_Chartology
In today’s Chartology Report I would like to clear up a misconception about rising wedges and flags. I have gotten more negative e mails from folks that assure me there is no such thing as a bullish rising wedge or flag. I’m repeatedly told to go back to charting school to learn my lesson. These type patterns are missed by 95% of chartists because they supposedly don’t exits and if they do exist they can’t be trusted. Keeping an open mind in the stock markets is the first lesson to learn. That means anything is possible regardless of what is taught by the so called experts. I’ve been following these two types of patterns for many years and find that are just as reliable as any another consolidation or reversal pattern.

By: Dr_Martenson
A PeakProsperity.com reader recently lamented:
Read full article... Read full article...I have been trying to get my head around the mechanism of QE. Not being an economist or experienced investor I don't really understand a lot of the jargon. The usual simple definition of QE as "thin air money printing" does not satisfy my need for understanding either. Have hunted for a description of QE for dummies that leaves me feeling like I get it, but with no luck. My difficulty is in understanding how thin air money gets into circulation.

After you add your personal information, it projects how much money you'll be able to produce annually during retirement, and how long it will last.

Alexander Green writes: If your son dropped out of college before getting a degree and without taking a single business class, joined a far-left commune dedicated to progressive ideals, and made no secret of his heartfelt belief that business is all about greed, selfishness and exploitation, what would you say the odds are that he would found and run a Fortune 500 company with $12 billion in annual sales and gross yearly profit of more than $4 billion?
