Hi
Robert,
This Share
Market Toolbox
eNews email
is going to all of
our subscribing Share
Market Toolbox
Members as normal,
and to the many
non-Members who have
expressed an
interest in
receiving it. (Any
non-members who want
to access the detail
in the Members Area
can easily join
as a Toolbox
Member - it's
not
expensive.)
The
focus in this eNews
update is the latest
material I have
added to the Toolbox
to do with how to
judge a (bear)
market bottom. This
was the topic of
discussion in our
May 2020 BullCharts
User Group webinar,
focusing on the
variety of technical
analysis tools that
are available to us,
especially in the
BullCharts charting
software.
You
can see previous
editions of this
eNews update email
in the
eNews Archive,
and to help you find
information in the
toolbox, the Toolbox
Master Index includes
references to the
topics in the past
eNews emails.
Don't
forget:
Price
charts summarise
the underlying
opinions
and emotions of
the market
participants.
Every chart
tells a story.
It pays to
understand the
stories in the
price
charts.
You
can see a history
of all Toolbox
content changes,
in the special Toolbox
content update
blog, and
you can select the
option there to
"Follow" that blog
to get details
about new updates
as soon as they
are made.
Any
non-member who no
longer wants to

material can simply
unsubscribe from ALL
topics using the

at the bottom - or
just Update
Your Profile
to change your interests.
( BUT NOTE:
Toolbox Members and
BullCharts mailing
list members should
not unsubscribe, as
it will remove you
from all my mail
lists.)
Please

anything
mentioned here,
and in the

Articles, is for

About
the Toolbox eNews
emails...
Here's a
short note to the recently
new Toolbox Members, and
new readers of this eNews
email:- These share market
Toolbox eNews
emails always go to
Toolbox Members (a part of
the Toolbox service), and
to the people who have
registered to receive
occasional information
about the Share Market.
This is intended to be a
bi-monthly email with
some pointers and tips on
focused topics - see a
quick intro to
the eNews emails.
They often include
references to specific eBook
Articles in my Share
Market Toolbox, as
well as key web pages in
the free area of the
Toolbox (eg. on the
extensive Share
Market web page). I
have been writing the
eBook Articles since
October 2008 - that's a
few years now, and these
eNews emails help you to
navigate to related and
useful information in my
Share Market Toolbox.

This
month's focus:
How to judge a
bear market bottom
In any bear market
situation, or even just a market
correction or a major low in the market,
it can be very advantageous to
be able to spot the bottom of the market
as soon as possible
after it has passed, so that we can
take advantage of the
rising share prices. If we misjudge it,
we might end up losing
a lot of capital as the market
turns down for another
leg, so it is very important to be confident
with our call and be watchful in case we
were wrong.
We could study the GFC of 2007-2009
and look for clues (shown at right).
We could study the market after the
infamous crash of 1987. If we look
at the coronavirus bear market that
unfolded in early 2020
(February/March) we might now be
wondering if we saw the bottom of
the bear market on 23 March, or if
there is more downside in the months
ahead.
Whatever the situation, it
can be very useful to understand how
to judge a bear market bottom,
especially utilising our tool bag of
technical analysis tools. This
article explores the possibilities
in this regard, to help us to be
smarter traders and investors, and
take better care of our available
capital, and leveraging off
technical analysis.
In this Article in Brainy's
series on technical analysis,
article number TA-6600
"How
to judge a bear market bottom",
we take a brief look
at a number of the
technical analysis tools available
to us to help us judge a bear market
bottom.
The relevant information
on this month's eNews topic in the Share
Market Toolbox includes
the following new eBook (PDF) Article
(Toolbox Member user name and password
is needed for these):-
Toolbox
non-Members - Can't see
the above reserved eBook Articles? You can
at least see the first page of them from
the Articles Table of
Contents page in the Toolbox.
Regarding my growing
collection of eBook (PDF) Articles, don't
forget to see the latest Table of Contents
pages for all articles (see links in the
side-bar above right). You
can see the Table of Contents for all
eBook Articles here
(recently new or updated ones are
highlighted), and the Toolbox Master Index which
includes the eBook Articles, plus web page
references, and helpful videos.

eBook
(PDF) Articles - Summary
Since October 2008 I have
accumulated quite a collection of eBook (PDF) Articles
on three subject areas - Share
Trading/Investing, Technical Analysis and
BullCharts software (actually more than
688 pages of material in more than 150
articles). Along with the many web pages in
the Toolbox, and the sets of public presentation slides,
all of this material is invaluable for both
new and experienced investors and traders. I
write brief notes in this eNews email to
highlight specific Articles on targeted
topics, and sometimes referring to new or
updated web pages in the Toolbox (also see a
history of Toolbox updates).
I am also writing new Articles and updating
existing ones as required. For
more information please see:

Article
front pages
For any new readers of my Toolbox eBook
Articles, there are some useful introductory
Articles including an Introduction and
an Overview Article for each of
the three subject areas. You can see them
here:

Any problems?
What
if you have some sort of problem with
accessing the Toolbox and any of these
Articles? Or maybe the Username and
Password doesn't work. If there is any
problem at all, simply contact me by email
or phone. The best email address for this
is:
support@robertbrain.com.
Occasionally emails disappear - the system
thinks they are spam, or the ISP might
think they are spam. If I don't reply
within a day or so, please contact me by either email address or
phone.

In
Closing
There is
nothing secret in this email, so
feel free to forward it to someone
if you think they might benefit from
the information, or from being a
Toolbox Member. The easiest way to
do this is to use the "Forward
Email" link at the bottom.
I am
also confident that my Toolbox
Members won't be sharing their
username and password with
non-members. It is not fair that I
spend all this time preparing the
materials, and then my Toolbox
Members pay money to have legitimate
access, only to let some
people pay nothing to read and
view the details.
Please
feel free to email an individual
Article to others as a sample; but if
they want online access to all the
materials, it is pretty cheap, so they
should subscribe as a Toolbox
Member. There
is information about Toolbox
Membership in the Quick Links section
at right.
Always happy
to receive feedback, or suggestions for
new content or improvements.
Until
next month,
happy investing or trading,
 Robert B.
