TechnoFunda Investing Quote from Legends -

Peter Lynch's quote underscores the significance of prudent financial management beyond the mere accumulation of income. He suggests that true financial prosperity stems not just from how much one earns but from the ability to save and wisely invest that income. This philosophy champions the idea of long-term financial health through active management of one's finances, highlighting that it is the decisions made with the money earned, rather than the amount itself, that shapes one’s financial future.


πŸ“š Book I'm Reading This Week

Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned business consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes and bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes. By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate and successful in the long run.

The Double bottom formation

Last week, we discussed all about the cup-with-handle base. Today, we will look at the double-bottom base. While its shape differs from that of a cup-with-handle, the core concepts and the backstory of double bottoms are the same.

Double bottoms tend to form while the overall market is volatile, and that's reflected in the shape. You have one down leg, then the stock tries to rally but hits resistance and ends up pulling back to form a second down leg. The stock rebounds one more time and is finally able to punch through and move higher. The breakout typically occurs when the overall market has also bounced back from a correction into a new uptrend.

The double bottom is shaped like the letter W. An important distinction is that the second leg down should undercut the first. IBD founder and Chairman William O'Neil, who developed the chart-reading strategy over the past six decades, says the undercut of the second leg β€” even by just a penny β€” is a necessary shakeout, as a final purge of weak holders, before the stock can advance. In that respect, it serves a similar use to the handle in a cup-with-handle base.

Many of the requirements for a double bottom are similar to those for a cup with handle. There should be a prior uptrend. The base should be a minimum of seven weeks. The correction should be moderate, usually 20% to 30% from high to low. Or a bit more if the market has had a severe correction. Many stocks form double bottoms and shoot straight past the buy point into profitable territory. It's ideal to see the stock's volume pick up at least 40% to 50% above its 50-day average at the breakout.

The Buy Point

The buy point for a double bottom is above the most recent area of resistance. That's the peak in the middle of the W. Breaking through that resistance on unusually heavy volume shows institutional investors are back in the game, aggressively scooping up shares. Note how the bottom of the second leg in a double bottom undercuts the bottom of the first leg. That gets rid of the weaker holders, leaving more committed investors who create support for the stock's new run.
