It looks like we are in a bear market. There are a few indicators that point to that conclusion but I’m going to look at just two of them today. The first indicator is a chart showing the percentage change in the prices of the Dow Jones components over the past four weeks. Notice that IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are near the bottom. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) are at the top. In bear markets, investors tend to like McDonald’s.

It looks like we are in a bear market. There are a few indicators that point to that conclusion but I’m going to look at just two of them today. The first indicator is a chart showing the percentage change in the prices of the Dow Jones components over the past four weeks. Notice that IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are near the bottom. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) are at the top. In bear markets, investors tend to like McDonald’s. At the worst point of the 2008 bear market, MCD was only down about half as much as the S&P 500. Over the full course of that bear market, the stock lost just 7%. This chart shows investors are shifting to defensive stocks. That can be seen in the next chart, which looks at the changes in different sectors over the past three months. Consumer staples, healthcare and utilities are the classic defensive sectors. These include companies like Procter & Gamble in the consumer staples sector, drug companies in the healthcare sector and your local power company in the utilities sector. These are the kind of businesses that offer… Read More

Grab your Black Friday Savings today and give yourself the gift of life-changing income! Look at the chart of Kellogg (NASDAQ: K) below. The long-term stock trend has an obvious head & shoulders pattern. This pattern is a relatively strong bearish pattern that indicates a trend reversal has occurred — meaning the stock will likely decline going forward. Of course, most fundamental investors don’t make investment decisions on charts. So let’s take a deep dive into Kellogg’s fundamentals in an effort to determine if the chart could foretell the future of Kellogg stock. Changing Consumer Trends Like many food companies, Kellogg is trying to stay relevant in an era of changing consumer food trends —… Read More
