“Eiffel Tower” Patterns Suggest Major Corrections in These 3 Asset Classes (+2K Views)

Eiffel tower patterns can be very important to your portfolio construction &Eiffel tower management because, when you experience the left side of the tower, you often experience the right side as well which often results in declines of as much as 50% from the peak. Currently it would appear that three specific assets could well be forming such patterns.

So says Chris Kimble (http://blog.kimblechartingsolutions.com) in edited excerpts from his original post* entitled S&P 500 forming its third Eiffel tower pattern in 15-Years?

Kimble goes on to say in further edited excerpts:

As can be seen in the charts below, at the time when most investors were in love with Gold & Apple, I shared (see post here) and  (see post here) that Eiffel tower patterns looked to be forming in these white hot assets and, not surprisingly, they each subsequently declined over 30% in value.

As can be seen in the chart above, the S&P 500 looks to have formed two Eiffel tower patterns since the mid-1990’s…100% rallies followed by 50% declines.

The best way for SPY, XLV & XLY to break from these Eiffel tower patterns is to continue to break overhead resistance.  Concern for these assets would come into play in support is taken out.

What do 1929, 2000 and 2007 all have in common?  Those were all years in which we saw a dramatic spike in margin debt.  In all three instances, investors became highly leveraged in order to “take advantage” of a soaring stock market but, of course, we all know what happened each time.  The spike in margin debt was rapidly followed by a horrifying stock market crash.  Well guess what?  It is happening again.  Read More »

Investors are more bullish now than at any time since 2002 but the current rally has not been fueled by improved prospects of actual growth and wealth creation. Instead, it’s mostly due to:

  1. investors desperate for income denied them elsewhere by central bank policies;
