STOCK SELECTION and TIMING

At this moment I am looking at the MACD position of SDRL and EGY.
These are just 2 of the stocks that were being discussed as a possible aim buy back in late 2014 early 2015.
Looking at these and other stocks is why I say that some sort of timing mechanism should be used in conjunction with ones stock selection.
Stock selection, in my opinion, should be considered and not actual buys. However, the timing mechanism is used to answer that question. Should I invest at this time in my considered selected stock?
Now, looking at SDRL and EGY and using the MACD 24,52,9 monthly
setting; from April 2014 to date, the answer would have been a resounding NO.

However, as you can clearly see, the MACD is 0.08 and 0.03 from its crossover.
The conclusion is that now is the most propitious or probability wise time to enter an aim position in these 2 stocks if they are your considered selected stock.
This method can be applied to any stock or ETF of your choice and it will tell you the approximate time to enter a position with a high probability of success.
