TDI Podcast: McClellan on Sharp Bottoms and Rounded Tops (#443)

Dec 20, 2015

Guest: Tom McClellan helps us understand a great deal about market structure as well as why it is important to keep a watch on market breadth for clues about what is really going on.

As the end of the year approaches, are investors giving up on 2015 and looking out to what opportunities may become available in 2016? Perhaps the end of year will see the re-balance and rotation that we have been discussing. Also, comments on the Fed’s recent move as well as the wild market action we saw last week.

Tom McClellan is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point where he studied aerospace engineering, and he served as an Army helicopter pilot for 11 years. He began his own study of market technical analysis while still in the Army, and discovered ways to expand the use of his parents‘ indicators to forecast future market turning points. Tom views the movements of prices in the financial market through the eyes of an engineer, which allows him to focus on what the data really say rather than interpreting events according to the same “conventional wisdom” used by other analysts. In 1993, he left the Army to join his father in pursuing a new career doing this type of analysis. Tom and Sherman spent the next 2 years refining their analysis techniques and laying groundwork.

In April 1995 they launched their newsletter, The McClellan Market Report, an 8 page report covering the stock, bond, and gold markets, which is published twice a month. They utilize the unique indicators they have developed to present their view of the market‘s structure as well as their forecasts for future trend direction and the timing of turning points. A Daily Edition was added in February 1998 to give subscribers daily updates on their indicators and also provide market position indications for stocks, bonds and gold. Their subscribers range from individual investors to professional fund managers. Tom serves as editor of both publications, and runs the newsletter business from its location in Lakewood, WA.
