Case Problem\u00a09.2 Deb Takes Measure of the Market\tSeveral months ago, Deb Forrester received a substantial sum of money from the estate of her late aunt. Deb initially placed the money in a savings account because she was not sure what to do with it. Since then, however, she has taken a course in investments at the local university. The textbook for the course was, in fact, this one, and the class just completed this chapter. Excited about what she has learned in class, Deb has decided that she definitely wants to invest in stocks. But before she does, she wants to use her newfound knowledge in technical analysis to determine whether now would be a good time to enter the market.\tDeb has decided to use all of the following measures to help her determine if now is, indeed, a good time to start putting money into the stock market:\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Advance-decline line\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 New highs-new lows indicator (Assume the current 10-day moving average is 0 and the last 10 periods were each 0.)\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Arms index\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mutual fund cash ratio\tDeb goes to the Internet and, after considerable effort, is able to put together the accompanying table of data.\tQuestions\t\t\tBased on the data presented in the table, calculate a value (where appropriate) for periods 1 through 5, for each of the four measures listed above. Chart your results, where applicable.\t\t\tDiscuss each measure individually and note what it indicates for the market, as it now stands. Taken collectively, what do these four measures indicate about the current state of the market? According to these measures, is this a good time for Deb to consider getting into the market, or should she wait a while? Explain.\t\t\tComment on the time periods used in the table, which are not defined here. What if they were relatively long intervals of time? What if they were relatively short? Explain how the length of the time periods can affect the measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
