Program Description: Witter & Lester utilize an investment methodology that they have consistently applied to the stock market since the mid-1970’s. In order to provide consistent returns in volatility equity markets, Witter & Lester have developed a warning system designed to identify any potential for a sharp stock market decline. Specifically, they look to identify the following criteria that has proven to have the highest correlation with changes in market direction. 1) Momentum - prior to a short term change in the direction of stock prices, the momentum of the existing trend will slow perceptibly. 2) Volume - price movements in a stock are often preceded by a change in the daily trading volume of its shares. Using the Dow 30 Stocks as a market proxy, they believe that changes in volume patterns in the Dow Stocks indicate a future change in stock prices. 3) Inventory Accumulation and Liquidation - analysis of trading volume gives information as to whether knowledgeable investors are accumulating or distributing shares is also tracked.
