Finance Feature finance feature by Douglas Carlsen, DDS Face it: dentists are competitive and compulsive. We have to be to perform the miracles of our daily work. When I tell the average person that tooth “preparation” is performed with a drill running at 400,000rpm on a moving target within 1/16 inch or less of the nerve 90 percent of the time, I often hear, “No wonder you guys scare me to death!” With that compulsive drive comes the idea that we can invest smarter than the average Joe. Yet, according to noted author Larry Swedroe: “…the purchase by investors of individ- ual stocks… would seem to be the ultimate in controlling your own portfolio. However, in pursuing this course, you create two problems. First, you likely cannot achieve the extensive diversification that the use of mutual funds accomplishes. Second, the evidence tells us that individual investors who select their own stocks underperform appropriate benchmarks by significant margins.”1 Financial planners who utilize academic-based strategy agree that individuals cause little damage by actively trading a small portion of the portfolio (five to 10 percent) as long as the great bulk of one’s investments are in passive index funds. Nevertheless, many doctors choose to actively trade a significant portion of their funds. Since many of you will or already have taken the trading plunge, let’s examine the basics, then hear comments from a dentist who has done well since 2001 with active trading. Active traders normally use fundamental analysis or technical analysis, and often both. 1. Larry Swedroe, Investment Mistakes Even Smart Investors Make, McGraw Hill, 2012, p.24. continued on page 90 88 DECEMBER 2013 » dentaltown.com finance feature continued from page 88 Fundamental analysis, according to Investopedia, “…is about using real data to evaluate a security’s value… For assessing stocks, this method uses revenues, earnings, future growth, return on equity, profit margins and other data to determine a company’s underlying value and poten- tial for future growth.”2 Technical analysis, from Investopedia, “…is a method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume.”3 Technical analysts use charts to study past performance with the hope to find patterns to predict the future. If you’re into candlesticks, dead cat bounces, Elliot waves, Fibonacci numbers, head and shoulders, MACD, resistance or trend lines, you’re a technical analyst. For strong educational basics, I highly recommend joining the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) at AAII.com. It’s nonprofit and costs a mere $49 to join. AAII provides vast educational resources, including a monthly magazine, investing online classrooms, e-books, asset allocation models, investment strategies, tax guides, and model stock and mutual fund portfolios. For the active investor, there is ample information on fundamental analysis with free stock screens and the sophisticated Stock Investor Pro stock screener used by professionals and non-professionals. For technical analysis, AAII provides scores of educational articles cover- ing chart types, pattern analysis, and technical indicators. AAII lists FreeStockCharts.com and StockCharts.com as the top charting web sites.4 Nerdwallet recommends several stock trading platforms, all of which come with educa- tional assistance: Scottrade’s Trading Website for Online Trading, TD Ameritrade’s Thinkorswim, TradeStation, E-trade Financial, Interactive Brokers and tradeMONSTER. I’ve been in contact over the years with many active traders. Few have done well enough to be financially free before age 65. One of the few is Dr. Donald Berger, who graciously volun- teered to be interviewed for Dentaltown Magazine. Carlsen: When did you start actively trading and why? Berger: In 2001 I decided I would learn to manage my finances after the market crash in 2000 as I lost a substantial sum of money in my personal and pension accounts. I decided to become a self-directed trader for two reasons. The first reason is nobody cares about your finances as much as you do. The second reason was to become educated and learn how to become successful in a career after dentistry. Please describe your training and how long it took before you became comfortable? Berger: I began taking different classes about trading stocks, options, etc. Then I mentored with an individual who was an educator and professional trader. The position sizes increased as I gained more knowledge and understandings about the players in the market. In 2008 I had no drawdown (decline) in the value of my accounts for the year. Preservation of capital is the first objective of money management and small loses in relation to capital is sec- ond. Note that anyone who lost 50 percent in 2008 would require a 100 percent gain to recover. Tell us about your basic strategies. Berger: Since the market has a bias to be long, the only two strategies are to buy strength or buy weakness. Employ the strategy of buying strength at new highs for growth stocks or pick a bottom and buy weakness for value stocks. I try to find opportunities to remain invested in the stocks for three months to a few years. This is why I research the company and determine if the business is an opportunity to invest in. I look at the fundamentals of the stock, and the manage- 2. Downloaded from http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fundamentalanalysis.asp 9/12/ 2013. 3.

Then I review the charts of the stock on a daily, weekly, monthly, three- month and yearly time frame. It gives me a way to look at the price activity, and then employ a statistical trading model. This allows me to recognize the trade and to see if it is traded at a fair price or an undervalued price. That model might then define an opportunity for a buy point in a declining market or building a trade around a rapidly growing market. Once the trade is entered, money management is used. My focus is to actively manage the account, actively man- age the analytics and actively manage the position sizes to protect from capital loss. What is your age, how well off are you today, and how do you plan to protect your assets in retirement? Berger: I am 65 years of age. I am financially sound. Management of my personal and retirement assets enables me to use risk management and capital preservation, as it would relate to any drawdown. Dr. Donald Berger is registered with the Pennsylvania Security and Exchange “Many dentists are lured to Commission.

There are numerous online trading “academies, schools, and universities.” Buyers beware. Many of these sites will take your money and provide very little proper educa- tion. Vet carefully before paying anything. Many dentists are lured to foreign exchange trading (Forex). Traders are fooled by the prom- ise of high profit on the exchange. “The average individual foreign-exchange-trading victim loses about $15,000, according to CFTC records.”5 Investors are often promised huge gains within weeks only to find that their money was never placed on the exchange. Gold Scams: You purchased gold coins from a dealer. A $50 Gold Eagle in perfect uncircu- lated (MS-70) grade is worth more than $2,500. Your coins might look to be in “mint” con- dition and classified as MS-70, yet really be MS-68 and worth $1,500 or less. You also might have the dealer “store” your bullion or coins for you, never having access to the gold that never was purchased in the first place! Buy only gold stocks, mutual funds or ETFs. Trading is risky business, docs. Prepping teeth is so much easier. ■ 5.

Predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection trend using technical analysis indicators Marino Paroli and Maria Isabella Sirinian Department of Clinical, Anesthesiologic and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy ABSTRACT COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Without efficacious drugs or vaccines, mass quarantine has been the main strategy adopted by governments to contain the virus spread. This has led to a significant reduction in the number of infected people and deaths and to a diminished pressure over the health care system. However, an economic depression is following due to the forced absence of worker from their job and to the closure of many productive activities. For these reasons, governments are lessening progressively the mass quarantine measures to avoid an economic catastrophe. Nevertheless, the reopening of firms and commercial activities might lead to a resurgence of infection. In the worst-case scenario, this might impose the return to strict lockdown measures. Epidemiological models are therefore necessary to forecast possible new infection outbreaks and to inform government to promptly adopt new containment measures. In this context, we tested here if technical analysis methods commonly used in the financial market might provide early signal of change in the direction of SARS-Cov-2 infection trend in Italy, a country which has been strongly hit by the pandemic.

  • Technical Analysis: Technical Indicators
    Chapter 2.3 Technical Analysis: Technical Indicators 0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: TECHNICAL INDICATORS Charts always have a story to tell. However, from time to time those charts may be speaking a language you do not understand and you may need some help from an interpreter. Technical indicators are the interpreters of the Forex market. They look at price information and translate it into simple, easy-to-read signals that can help you determine when to buy and when to sell a currency pair. Technical indicators are based on mathematical equations that produce a value that is then plotted on your chart. For example, a moving average calculates the average price of a currency pair in the past and plots a point on your chart. As your currency chart moves forward, the moving average plots new points based on the updated price information it has. Ultimately, the moving average gives you a smooth indication of which direction the currency pair is moving. 1 2 Each technical indicator provides unique information. You will find you will naturally gravitate toward specific technical indicators based on your TRENDING INDICATORS trading personality, but it is important to become familiar with all of the Trending indicators, as their name suggests, identify and follow the trend technical indicators at your disposal. of a currency pair. Forex traders make most of their money when currency pairs are trending.

Many linear process models that 4 are being used to predict financial time series are structural models that provide an important 5 decision boundary, albeit not adequately considering the correlation or causal effect of market 6 sentiment on stock prices. This research seeks to increase the predictive capability of linear process 7 models using the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and the CBOE Volatility (VIX) Index as a proxy for 8 market sentiment. Three econometric models are considered to forecast SPY prices: (i) Auto 9 Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), (ii) Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional 10 Heteroskedasticity (GARCH), and (iii) Vector Autoregression (VAR). These models are integrated 11 into two technical indicators, Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Convergence Divergence 12 (MACD), focusing on forecast performance. The profitability of various algorithmic trading 13 strategies are compared based on a combination of these two indicators.

With the rapid development of the fnancial market, many professional traders use technical indicators to analyze the stock market. As one of these technical indicators, moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is widely applied by many investors. MACD is a momentum indicator derived from the exponential moving average (EMA) or exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), which reacts more signifcantly to recent price changes than the simple moving average (SMA). Traders fnd the analysis of 12- and 26-day EMA very useful and insightful for determining buy-and-sell points. Te purpose of this study is to develop an efective method for predicting the stock price trend. Typically, the traditional EMA is calculated using a fxed weight; however, in this study, we use a changing weight based on the historical volatility. We denote the historical volatility index as HVIX and the new MACD as MACD-HVIX. We test the stability of MACD-HVIX and compare it with that of MACD.

The VIX Index is updated on a continuous basis and offers a picture of the expected market volatility in the S&P 500 during the next 30 days. The VIX Index was first introduced in 1993 and a second version was introduced in 2003 and is still in use today. VIX is also commonly known as the “fear index,” since volatility and the VIX index tend to rise during times that the S&P 500 is falling. Therefore, the VIX Index is said to measure the amount of fear or complacency in the market. Many analysts suggest that VIX is a predictive measure of market risk and future market action since this index is traded by some of the most professional traders in the world. However, there is also a large school of thought that suggests that VIX is a trailing indicator and so not suitable for attempts at market timing.

  • Bear Trap –
    Bear Trap – Best Strategies to Profit from Short Squeezes Have you ever felt the devastating market force of a bear trap? The all but certain bullish trend stops abruptly and a trend reversal begins. Then you say, “Hey, let’s catch that drop!” and you short-sell the equity. Suddenly, the price does a rapid jump contrary to your trade! What a shame! Have you ever felt that? I bet you have. This is what traders call “The Bear Trap”. In this article, we will cover the inner workings of a bear trap and how to avoid falling into one. Bear Trap Definition A bear trap occurs when shorts take on a position when a stock is breaking down, only to have the stock reverse and shoot higher. This counter move produces a trap and often leads to sharp rallies. Bear Trap Setup The bear trap chart pattern is a very basic setup. You will want a recent range to be broken to the downside with preferably high volume. The stock will need to get back above support within 5 candlestick bars, then explode out of the top of the range. The last component of the setup is that the stock should have a decent price range. A wide price range is critical, as it increases the odds that the stock will have room to trend in order to book quick profits. Why do Bear Traps produce sharp rallies? The first wave of buying will occur when the most recent swing high is exceeded, due to the number of shorter term traders who have their stops slightly above the most recent swing high.

The MACD-Histogram (MACDH) can be derived from MACD as a second-order trading signal of price actions. To reduce the lagging effects in MACD&MACDH, forecasted values are introduced in a hybrid trading signal, termed as the forecasted MACDH. A detailed trading simulation is performed for a single stock/commodity under a single long-short-MACD parameter of different timeframes of charts is taken into consideration to explain the experimental design. In the Stock Market, Commodity Market, Forex Market all over the World this concept of Histograms can be applied. MACD Histogram is actually a value that can be positive or negative according that value a bar is plotted on the MACD Technical Indicator. This MACD Histogram gives the answer to what will be the movement of the market in future and according to that the investor or trader can take decision on Buy/Sell or Long/Short.

Its 1QFY21 results – with revenue of RM269m (+8% QoQ; +27% YoY) and core net profit of RM26m (-5% QoQ; +1% YoY) – were below expectations, affected by margin squeeze mainly due to elevated steel costs. • Still, looking ahead, consensus is expecting KERJAYA’s net profit to grow by 39% and 28% to RM125m and RM161m in FY21 and FY22, respectively.
