In that same vein, what works for one particular stock may not work for another. A 50-day moving average may work great to identify support and resistance for IBM, but a 70-day moving average may work better for Yahoo.

These are the forces of supply and demand at work. By examining price action to determine which force is prevailing, technical analysis focuses directly on the bottom line: What is the price? Where has it been? Where is it going?

What is More Important than Why

In his book, The Psychology of Technical Analysis, Tony Plummer paraphrases Oscar Wilde by stating, "A technical analyst knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing". Technicians, as technical analysts are called, are only concerned with two things:

The large number of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Foreign Ordinaries that trade in the OTC market (e.g., Roche – RHHBY, adidas – ADDYY) make price imbalance a concern for OTC traders and investors. ADRs represent a set ratio of home market shares; thus, movement in the home market price and foreign exchange considerations will directly affect the price of the ADR. Foreign Ordinaries should theoretically mirror home market trading once currency rates are considered.

Short selling is a trading strategy where an investor, believing that a security is over-valued, borrows (from a broker-dealer or institutional investor) and sells a security and then repurchases and returns (to the broker-dealer or institutional investor) the security at a lower price. The difference between the sale price and the purchase price is the investor’s profit.

Business Plan

The business plan, model or concept forms the bedrock upon which all else is built. If the plan, model or concepts stink, there is little hope for the business. For a new business, the questions may be these: Does its business make sense? Is it feasible? Is there a market?

Broker-dealers often receive buy and sell orders that ‘match’ – meaning, someone is willing to sell a security for the same price someone else is willing to buy the same security. In this situation, broker-dealers will execute the trade “internally”.

OTC derivatives are significant part of the world of global finance. The OTC derivatives markets are large and have grown exponentially over the last two decades. The expansion has been driven by interest rate products, foreign exchange instruments and credit default swaps. The notional outstanding of OTC derivatives markets rose throughout the period and totaled approximately US$601 trillion at December 31, 2010.[5] In the past two decades, the major internationally active financial institutions have significantly increased the share of their earnings from derivatives activities.

This tier indicates companies that are unwilling or unable to provide disclosure to the public markets. Companies in this category do not make current information available via OTC Markets disclosure and news service, or if they do, the available information is older than six months. This category includes defunct companies that have ceased operations as well as 'dark' companies with questionable management and market disclosure practices. Securities of publicly traded companies that are not willing to provide information to investors are considered highly risky.

After an extended advance from 27 to 64, WorldCom (WCOM)[WCOM] entered into a trading range between 55 and 63 for about 5 months. There was a false breakout in mid-June when the stock briefly poked its head above 62 (red oval). This did not last long and a gap down a few days later nullified the breakout (black arrow). The stock then proceeded to break support at 55 in Aug-99 and trade as low as 50. Here is another example of support turned resistance as the stock bounced off 55 two more times before heading lower. While this does not always happen, a return to the new resistance level offers a second chance for longs to get out and shorts to enter the fray.

Strengths of Technical Analysis

Focus on Price

If the objective is to predict the future price, then it makes sense to focus on price movements. Price movements usually precede fundamental developments.

FINRA halts may be lifted when FINRA determines that the basis for the halt no longer exists or 10 days have past. After the halt ends, market participants may re-enter the stock if the piggyback qualification has not lapsed. If the piggyback qualification has lapsed then market participants may re-enter the stock if they comply with Rule 15c2-11. This rule requires the filing, with FINRA, of a new Form 211 which must include the issuer’s current financial information.
