From January 2020 to March 2020, we just experienced one of the worst quarters for equity investors, which prompts us to revisit the Coppock Curve. This indicator splits out buy indications with an extremely high success rate.
Below is a chart of the Coppock Curve from 1974 to the present and the statistical breakdown since 1930.
The indicator dipped below 100 and closed the month at 62.9. Keep a close watch on this indicator if and when it moves into negative territory. Continue reading
This is the last update of Coppock Curve for the year and the indicator is in a free fall. We began the year at 283 in January. At the close of December, the indicator fell to 114, a 60% drop.

However, the faster this indication dip into the negative territory, the sooner we can look forward to a buying indication. Continue reading

On Monday February 12, 2018, we kicked off the Coppock Curve series with one of the largest oil field service company, Halliburton. Today, we continued on that oil sector review with a drilling company, Helmerich & Payne (HP).
One aspect that we like about Helmerich & Payne is its long history. Because of that, we are able to extract the data going back as far as 1982. The chart below displays HP's Coppock Curve from 1982 until now. Such a long history allows us to study the effectiveness of this strategy. Continue reading

The following is a study of the Nasdaq Composite Index when applied to the Coppock Curve. Our goals is to determine the period for the most optimal performance with the least amount of risk. We provide data on the Nasdaq Composite Index from 1974 to the present.
The Coppock Curve is one of the technical indicators that we focus on for long-term buy signals for the stock market. The Coppock Curve is only useful as a BUY indicator when the chart goes from positive territory to the negative territory then turns decidedly upward. As previously indicated, the Coppock Curve does not provide SELL signals in any way. Once the signal turns upward (while in the negative territory), investors should consider buying stocks at the beginning of the month.

As our readers may be aware, we're big fans of a market indicator known as the Coppock Indicator or the Coppock Curve. Though the indicator was meant to be applied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, we believe there is utility in applying this indicator to select individual companies. Our hope is that we can leverage the knowledge we garner from this tool and apply it to other stocks and indexes.
The Coppock Curve is intended to aid long-term investors when investment risk is considered to be lowest. What we've done is apply the same concept to individual companies when we believe they are most likely to be undervalued. This approach is the merging of fundamental values with a robust technical indicator. One key distinction that we've added is that we've set a 12-month target after the Coppock signal to determine performance and investment opportunities.
