Welcome to Momentum Monday.

First up, “HAPPY NEW YEAR” and Seasons Greetings to you all. May the coming year be healthy and prosperous for you all. Speaking of which, we should all go on holiday more often as it is far more beneficial to our portfolios. More in a moment.

We resume Momentum Monday for a new year in 2024! Please refer to the Member Corner section for more detail on how you can make a request for a stock to be analysed. As this is our second year, and  with this contribution, here’s hoping for strongly trending markets.

Broader Market Sentiment

We look at the direction of both the US and ASX markets to gain an understanding of the broader sentiment at the minute. It is important to stress here that I DO NOT use this to time my entry or exit out of stocks. I prefer to use the individual charts of stocks to do that. However I find it useful in helping us determine how aggressive/cautious traders should be in their trading. In short the more positive the broader market is the more risks you can take and vice versa.

US / S&P500

Ding ding ding! The S&P500 finished the year at all time highs at 4769.8
