May 2005 Active Trader Magazine cover and feature interview
with Larry McMillan |
"I have received excellent value
from McMILLAN Analysis. I feel I get a unique perspective
from Larry's work. Over the years I have recommended the DVA
report to dozens of clients and associates. I know many of
them have become subscribers/readers as well. Keep up the
great work."
D. Bennion
"Your Weekly
Take On The Market is the only tool I trust to trade
comfortably in such a perverse game that perpetuates itself
by consuming the unaware quite so efficiently. Admittedly
lacking in greater mathematical stamina to make ongoing use
of seeing into a deeper truth hidden within a market
mechanism, I have grown to rely on how your calm, thoughtful
interpretation of certain contrary indicators reveal the
next meaningful and likely move is occurring just before
being made widely known to even the market itself. Quite an
impressive defense I might add."
A. Lee
Larry McMillan takes the
student into new worlds of technical analysis. In time, one
becomes comfortable with what McMillan calls "the predictive
power of options". And you come to understand that the VIX
and put call ratios can, under certain circumstances,
function as outstanding indicators with respect to stock
market index movements. Thus, the McMillan education leads
to a knowledge far beyond option strategies. The student
comes to see virtually every aspect of the stock market,
from its direction to its rate of price movement, through
the prism of options. And all the while, at every turn, Mr.
McMillan is present as a guide. This man deserves every
ounce of his vast professional recognition. The English
language has a word that best describes Larry
Macmillan......... Teacher.

Stock Market
Technically, the Santa Claus rally was positive
this year, but it stumbled to the finish line. The last two
days, which are the first two trading days of this year, have
seen some negative developments taking place. Most of our
technical indicators are now negative, but prices have remained
in an uptrend. Since price is the most important indicator of
all, we must respect it, but we can be prepared should it break
down as well. What we mean by "price" is the chart of the S&P
500 Index ($SPX). It nearly broke down on Wednesday (the first
trading day of this year), but managed to rally by the close of
trading and remained inside its bullish channel -- a channel
that extends all the way back to June. That low was probed again
on Thursday, but again another rally brought $SPX back into the
range. So as long as it keeps closing within this range, the
bullish case is intact -- despite other negative indicators.
The equity-only put-call ratios have been on sell signals for a
couple of weeks, and they remain there. The standard ratio
appears to be bouncing back and forth but that is due to some
extremely heavy dividend arbitrage in MO, BMY, JPM, and PBR in
the last couple of weeks. Dividend arbitrage consists of very
heavy call volume (and no put volume); it is merely noise, and
doesn't constitute any valid data for a contrarian put-call
ratio buy or sell signal. The weighted ratio clearly remains on
a strong sell signal.
