SYNOPSIS
As I write this the latest bull market has reached it’s sixth anniversary. That puts us ahead of the average duration of a bull run, but there have been longer ones. We’re not yet seeing any of the signs of “frothy excess”, that are characteristic of a major market top. The possibility of US interest rate increases is a looming cloud, but the US dollar is increasingly strong, and economic activity isn’t as enemic as it has been for several years now. The market action last week, however, was a bit harsh, as the major indexes that we track headed considerably lower.

Topic of the Week… The Cheat Sheet Path to Optimizing Do-It-Yourself Investing
Cheat sheets are an awesome, yet underused category of documents. They are built on the “less is more principle”. Enormous amounts of data are condensed onto a single sheet of paper… sometimes even smaller than a single sheet, or sometimes as much as two pages printed back to back. Some are created with a spreadsheet program, others are more textual or algorithmic (e.g. flow chart decision tree style). In the past we’ve discussed how you might prepare one or more types of cheat sheets as part of your weekly routine.. just after we release the latest trend and consistency numbers. The PTP tracking table is one example. Another would be a condensation of the data tables in the Data & Charts Workbooks onto a single sheet of paper for quick reference. Today we focus on a stock picking cheat sheet, that you might find useful… either as a template to build your own, or to simply use as-is.
