Arch Crawford is also a market technician. He is pretty good for a 3 month to 3 year investing range. He also looks a flows of funds sometimes, sort of the way TrimTabs does.

All of his stuff is macro and sectors, like oil or gold or financials. He does not do individual stocks.

If you look under services, you will his rates for the newsletter, etc. there is also a 900 number service for twice a day short term market viewpoints. To trade with that, you will need to be nimble and use stops.

What is VERY good is he is not a pollyanna, so you will often see "SELL all XYZ and stay in CASH by June 5" clearly stated on the front page of his newsletter.

He is not a permabear per se, he doesn't have an ideological or emotional tilt towards gloom and doom. He can be bullish.

It probably takes about 6 months of reading his newsletters to get calibrated for your particular investments and sectors.

When I was trading more actively, I found it was worthwhile to subscribe to his newsletter. The track record of the daily 900 number info did not seem as good to me.

Being an engineer, I was skeptical of market technicians and even more of astrology. But the correlations are there, even if causation is not. (women's menstrual cycles correlate lunar cycles.) I just think of him as pretty good mid term market technician.

Market technicians can sometimes extract a signal from the noise. Sometimes they just get noise, like when you are driving in the boondocks and your car radio scans and does not find any strong signals.
