Japanese Candlesticks

Long before the Western World had even understood that the study of charts might be beneficial, the Japanese were constructing and studying rice futures charts in a system which today we call candlestick charting. Before candlesticks charts, everyone was using bar charts but today you hardly ever see a bar chart.

What most investors do not know is that there are literally hundreds of candlestick formations each of which have been extensively analysed and have their own particular interpretations. If you are interested in this, you should get hold of a copy of Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques: A Contemporary Guide to the Ancient Investment Techniques of the Far East, (1991). The author of the book is Steve Nison.

The Confidential Report – July 2026 | What Every Investor Should Know

Having made an all-time record high at 7609,78 on 2nd June 2026, the S&P500 Index has been moving sideways and consolidating as investors tried to digest the rapidly evolving situation in the Middle East and its impact on the oil price. Sentiment among investors is still apparently strongly optimistic but tainted with some concern about effectiveness of the Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and America together with the durability of their 60-day ceasefire. Continued hostilities by Israel in Lebanon are not helping the situation.

The drop in the oil price back to levels last seen before the conflict began in February shows that the world economy has adjusted to the situation and is not as oil dependent as it used to be.

THE COLLAPSE OF BITCOIN

Bitcoin has long been promoted as a hedge against economic uncertainty, but recent market movements tell a different story. As investors become more risk-averse, many are moving away from cryptocurrencies and towards traditional safe-haven assets such as gold.

The latest PDSNET analysis examines Bitcoin's sharp decline, the factors driving investor sentiment, and why cryptocurrencies continue to experience significant volatility compared to established stores of value. Understanding the difference between speculative assets and long-term wealth preservation remains crucial for investors navigating today's markets.

📈 Is the market simply pausing before its next move?

After a strong run, markets often take time to consolidate gains, reassess valuations, and absorb new economic data. Understanding these periods of uncertainty can help investors make informed decisions rather than reacting emotionally to short-term fluctuations.

In this latest article, "Market Catching Its Breath", PDSNET explores the current market environment, key factors influencing investor sentiment, and what it could mean for your investment strategy going forward.

Southern Sun Hotels

The Hotel business was probably the worst hit of all sectors during the pandemic in 2020. With the travel restrictions and the various difficulties aimed at preventing the spread of the disease, many business people simply elected to stay at home and conduct meetings on Zoom or Skype. Conventions of various sorts which are major business for hotels also stopped almost completely. Gradually, over the proceeding years the situation has steadily improved, and occupancy rates have climbed back.

From an investor’s viewpoint, the hotel industry offers a very secure and relatively unexciting investment. It has a substantial investment in land and buildings and it has a large staff contingent. In normal times, it can be expected to grow steadily as the economy grows. It remains sensitive to political risk and economic external shocks.

Exponential Bull Trend

The current bull trend, in our opinion, began in 2009 from the low point on the S&P500 index of 676 reached on 9th March of that year. It has now been going on for over 17 years – making it the longest bull trend in the history of Wall Street by far.

On Thursday, May 14, 2026, the S&P 500 closed at a new all-time record high of 7,501 and the Dow Jones Industrial index went back above 50 000. This means the market has gone up 11-fold over the past 17 years. The question which investors have to ask themselves is, “How much further up can it go?” – and nobody really knows the answer to that question.

The Strait of Hormuz

Are we teetering on the edge of a major bear trend? After Friday the 13th of March 2026's S&P500 close at 6632, Wall Street is now down 5% from its all-time record closing high of 6978.6 on the 27th of January 2026. This down-move is similar to the 5% correction which occurred in the first three weeks of November last year and it is evident that there is still considerable bullish sentiment in Wall Street, just waiting for their moment to buy the dip .
