This site is about gleaning investing ideas from classical technical analysis of price charts.  Weekly charts are featured, as they give more reliable signals, in my opinion.  Each weekend thousands of U.S. stocks and ETFs are screened and winnowed down to a few hundred that I manually sort through and pick ones I consider interesting.  Some of those will be posted here for your perusal.  I hope you can gain some insight from my work, and welcome comments.

Likes, comments and followers are welcome – as long as you have a true interest in technical analysis. People that are obviously trying to sell something will be blocked. I don’t care what it is – porn, blogging skills, fast-buck schemes – please stay away. You will be blocked. I have no interest in collecting likes or followers for the sake of numbers.

About Me

I have been investing since my teen years, graduating from mutual funds to stocks, options and futures.  My focus now is swing trading stocks and options using weekly charts, classical technical charting techniques and fundamental analysis.   By education I am an engineer.  I have worked as an employee, consultant and founder in many locations across the globe.  I founded, built and sold several companies, raising tens of millions of dollars along the way.    My primary focus now is trading and enjoying my third and final retirement from “conventional” employment. 

Trading Style

I swing trade stocks and options using the weekly charts.  There might be the occasional daily chart, but no intraday charts.  I go long and short stocks, mostly long. With options, I usually sell puts and bull put spreads for credit.  Time decay works for you when you sell, and against you when you buy.

Although my starting methods are based on technical analysis, I do use fundamental analysis as well before committing capital. My holdings are usually dominated by large cap stocks on the Dividend Champions/Contenders list (even tho I don’t specifically screen for them), with a few higher risk small caps sprinkled in the mix. Options, especially spreads, usually focus on about 50 – 100 highly liquid stocks and ETFs.

Disclamer

The content at TheChartAnalyst.finance.blog constitutes my personal blog.  It simply contains ideas and opinions.  They might be great, good, bad, indifferent, or downright awful.   I try to be accurate and true to the best of my knowledge, but there may be omissions, errors or mistakes.  The best teacher, after all, is failure, and I’ve learned a lot via this method (and I expect to keep learning). Anything that you rely on in this blog is at your own risk.  This blog does not contain financial advice and I am not a professional in any sense or by any means (you may quickly conclude that after viewing the content).  Please consult with your financial adviser, accountant, psychologist, spouse and/or other trusted person before taking any sort of action. I reserve the right to make changes at any time to how this blog is run and managed.  Finally, the purpose of this blog is not to “talk my book” – if I hold a position in an instrument, it will be disclosed.
