Content and update frequency

The premium market letter from Amanita Market Forecasting can be accessed under "My Account" on the left-hand side, for premium subscribers the following menu opens:

These 5 markets are covered on an intermediate- (1-3 months) and long-termLong-term means a time horizon of years. basis:

1. stock indices: benchmark S&P 500 SPX, also Dow Jones Industrials DJI, Nasdaq 100 NDX, EuroStoxx, German DAX (sometimes Nasdaq 100 NDX).
   The 4 main indices do have usually but not always the same turning points as the S&P 500, if deviations do occur they are hardly significant in price or time terms. The correlation of these 5 indices is so high that a seperate analysis is not meaningful from an input-output perspective
   The majority of my methods are only working best and consistently with the S&P 500 (SPX) as the "index in the center". Moreover, the S&P 500 is the required benchmark for the official signals monitored by the rating agency Timer Digest.

The page for each of the markets service contains these 5 elements:

1. Amanita forecast charts: main updates (with charts) every 1-3 months & minor interim updates (without charts) 1-2 times/ month
   The charts are intended to give a broad roadmap with timing being the key. Absolute price targets are always secondary in my work and - compared to timing - imprecise, inaccurate, unreliable & questionable. Relative price targets are more important and reliable, i.e. relative performance of X versus Y.

The frequency of the updates depends on the markets, on the average there are 1-2 updates per month for a specific market and every 1-3 months a main update (2-6 pages) with a preferred and an alternate scenario. All updates are sent out by e-mail, if you are using a spam filter please add This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to the whitelist to make sure you receive the updates. In the archive you can look up the previous updates. In total, there are 3-10 changes for all markets every month. Needless to say that older forecast are no longer valid if adjusted by a new update.

There is the right time for everything, and of course for updates, too, as early as possible but not too early if the situation is not mature yet - and I try to send out updates at the right time. That's why I often don't give specific answers to requests like "How is it looking today" as a premature reply is no good advice and does not fulfil the Amanita quality standards; as soon as the time is right (for instance, after a stop level can be determined) I do send out an update. E.g., the polarity (high or low) of an Amanita pivot can be confirmed 1-2 weeks before the date at the earliest.
