Socrates
Anyone else trialing MA’s Socrates service? The trial is only $10 and I’ve been on it a week so far. Pretty interesting stuff. My trial lasts until Jan 7th which should give me ample time to decide whether the annual subscription is worthwhile….I suspect it will be.
I read that was for the investor, so it tracked the longer term trend. Your charting is anticipating a change up for commodities and weakness for SM. From what I see in the posts you follow MA pretty close, how is Socrates lining up with your analysis? Thanks for all the great analysis you afford us beginners.
Correct Randy, the investor-level service is the only one rolled out so far and it will be $150/yr…primarily geared towards folks who want to participate in major trends and who reallocate only a handful of times per year at most. I think this type of analysis is helpful for traders as well although that trader-level service will be coming out soon I believe and will provide the sector trading arrays and further analysis. I think that trader-level service will run around $3,000/yr….I’m not exactly sure.
Socrates is lining up pretty well with my analysis of a significant low in oil and gold expected in December along with a strong bounce. This comes from analysis of daily charts despite weekly, monthly, and quarterly still showing we are in a deeply entrenched downtrend.
I’m thinking the investor-level service could be helpful for traders who primarily utilize their own independent analysis like I do but seek a higher level of confidence that they are not trying to trade against the flow of the markets. As I mentioned before, I’m not planning to trade as frequently in 2016 as I see my time being more limited so an investor-level perspective is probably where my head is these days.
