Remarkable chart, via @TheChartReport

Are you aware of the pawn shop indicator? History shows it has a pretty good track record. Read the full breakdown in today's Morning Print. thechartreport.com/TheMorningPrin…

The pawn shop indicator: where increased pawn shop activity, such as high inventory or many loans, signals that consumers have limited discretionary income and financial strain is increasing.

Discussed this very thing on the #dailyfinance show. Have used it plenty times in the past to state this very argument.

@McClellanOsc Of course Tom, feedback from a legend like yourself is always appreciated.

@TheChartReport I appreciate that you took my response in the constructive way in which it was intended.

The problem with doing this is the assumption that up and down are the same in the stock market. They are not. The stock market tends to make spiked bottoms and rounded tops. This is the opposite of gold, which makes spike tops and rounded bottoms. The reason why this happens has to do with the nature of panic. People panic out of stocks and into cash, hence the spike bottoms in stocks. But people panic out of cash and into gold, hence gold's spike tops. Different markets have different chart personalities. For this reason, charts for each type of market need to be interpreted with an understanding of that market. Interpretive principles do not generally transplant well from one type of market to another because of that difference in their inherent natures.

While I don’t love the implications - this is an excellent exercise.

When in doubt, invert it out. These charts look like some nice bases when you flip them upside down. Read the full note in today's Morning Print. thechartreport.com/TheMorningPrin…

NOT a trading "system." BUT a simple and very useful weight of the evidence market filter IMO.

@BackFromMargin Thank you!
