FA and asset allocation are building blocks for creating an investment portfolio/fund. TA is used to maximize gains/losses through trading the minor zigzag moves during a bull/bear trend. Technical trading signals do not weaken the validity of the fundamental buy/sell recommendations. • Trend Direction The methods used to determine trend direction are subjective in nature. We use a range of MA’s between & period moving averages, combined with accurately drawn trend lines (which ever is more reliable) to determine the direction of the short and long term trends. • Investment Horizon (As an approximate guideline, and not a rule) Time horizon for traders/short term trend is - weeks, and - months for investors/long. • Trading Tactics According to your investment horizon watch the direction of the trend. During down trends, investors attempt selling close to resistance levels. During up trends, investors attempt buying close to support levels. • Support & Resistance The table indicates horizontal S&R levels, and can be used for the longer term. The text observes rising and falling S&R points.
