So, this year’s almanac:
If you’re thinking of selling a bit some time soon, the auspicious dates would be February 15 (before the weakness) or March 9 (after the strength).
If you’re thinking of buying a bit some time soon, the auspicious date would be February 21, just before the strength starts.
I think I did that off by one–I forgot to count the holiday when counting the number of trading days.
So, I think the corrected auguries are:
Good days to sell were last Wed/Thur though today’s not bad (before the weakness), and March 8 (end of the strength).
Good day to buy: this Friday Feb 18 (the bottom: end of the weakness, start of the strength)
(Friday best for lowest relative-to-market price, Thursday best for absolute price, so basically around the end of this week).
I did the “analysis” using the midpoint of high and low for each trading day.
Even with quotes, the term “analysis” is a bit generous–it’s more like hieromancy. But then so is a lot of stock analysis from brokers.
Anyway, if it’s right, this statistically would be expected to be a bad week for Berkshire’s price.
