In our January 2, 2022 posting on the Dogs of the Dow, we said the following:

Industry representatives say that steadiness of FFO is more reflective of a REIT’s health. For the purposes of determining the future direction of the stock price, we prefer the wide variability of the net income figure. (data source)

On, August 1, 2020, we said the following:
“Last month, the Coppock Curve dipped into negative territory flagging us to closely monitor this indicator for a buy signal. In addition to monitoring the Dow Jones Industrial Average, we created a model to back test this strategy against individual stocks. So far, we are very satisfied with the outcome.”
Based on our prior work, we have developed a strategy to compliment the indications made by the Coppock Curve when applied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Continue reading
On August 25, 2019, we said the following of silver:
“The trend is up, what remains are the buying opportunities (based on the upside targets above) and a lot of patience.”
Since that time, silver has had the following price action.
Clear buying opportunities have opened up in the intervening period from August 2019 to the July 2020 period. In addition, our point that precious metals prices decline during stock market declines has continued to hold up as highlighted in our articles published on November 8, 2008 and September 14, 2014. The mistaken belief that precious metals are the place to be if the stock market “crashes” because they act as a hedge, meaning generally increase, is mistaken.
Our next update on the price of silver will review the upside resistance targets so that those interested in the precious metal can be more selective of where they plan to initiate positions. We hope to continue the tradition of providing the least expensive lesson on the behavior of precious metals.

This is an update January 16, 2020 comparison of the Gross Domestic Product and the Wilshire 5000 on a quarterly basis from 1975 to Q2 2020.
It seems that the decline in GDP has run its course. Alternatively, if the decline has not ended then there is not much more to go on the downside.
Meanwhile, it is challenging to think that the Wilshire 5000 does not have more to go on the downside. However, the sudden nature of the cause in the decline and the extent of chasm that has been attained may mean that the worst is past us, buy only for those who are willing to take a 10 to 15 year investment horizon. Traders who are long only may see more pain ahead.
