Coppock Curve: July 2015

It's been quite sometime since we've updated our readers on Coppock Curve.  We've gotten more excited to see this indicator approach zero because it would point to a major opportunity to be long equities. While the indicator provides buy signals it doesn't offer any sell indication. As such, one can only take this as a buy only indicator.

Coppock Curve: March 2015

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. Our last “buy” indication came at the end of April 2009. Anyone who purchased the Dow Jones Industrial ETF (DIA) on the first trading day of May 2009, they would have gained +109% in the process (based on the closing price of March 2015).

While the curve remain positive, the direction and the slope is negative.  We would get excited if and when this indicator reach the negative zone.  We will certainly update our readers when that time comes.
