Re: VF Corp (VFC)
Just reviewed the chart for VFC, this chart violates one of Stans major rules which is to never short a stock with a rising 30 MA. The 30-week MA is still rising for VFC. Its showing signs of distribution but until it rolls you have very strong change of gettting "whipped"...
UPDATE on the WTI (crude trade): Several weeks ago I alerted the forum page here to a powerful breakout that was happening in crude oil.
Flash forward several weeks now and crude has made an impressive breakout not only into a stage 2 rally but has broken out of a 9 monthdowntrend.

Here's the chart out of Stan's book.
Get ready, 2013 could be very bumpy ride.
Cheers!
I found more evidence in the book that Stan recommends shorter moving averages for commodity futures and stock index futures (whether you chose 40-day or 50-day MA period is a personal choice)
Here's a quote from the book on futures:
"Just be aware that when dealing with commodities or stock...
So I spent this holiday season reading Stan's book for the 3rd time in 1 1/2 years, cover to cover.
A huge takeaway for me was how Stan trades futures contracts using not the 150 day MA but the 40 day! Yes the 40 day for stage analysis! (see page 330-333)
IT'S NO DIFFERENT WHEN DEALING...
I agree 100%. Stan has pages of graphics of "bullish" headlines which were seen at MARKET TOPS. and pages of negative graphics of pessimistic economic numbers/sentiment at MARKET BOTTOMS.
Stans approach seems to be ignore the fundamentals and simply follow the "markets reaction to the news"...
Crude Oil (WTI) has made an impressive breakout above its 30 week MA which has now flattened out.

A breakout in relative strength is one of Stan's core teachings when searching for winners.

"The first one is the...
