    Hello Don,
    Is the 4-Year Election Cycle for the Midterm Years on the Seasonal Charts the same as on the Equity Clock Charts? Is this still a relevant seasonal chart to follow?
    Thank you.
    Ana

    Hello Don
    Could you let us know support and resistance for GS? Thanks

  5. Don Vialoux Says:

    Hi Jonnie. CML Healthcare broke support on the charts today and established an intermediate downtrend. Not a good sign when markets generally are moving higher!
