Goldman Sachs (GS): Distribution Phase

Goldman Sachs (GS) has culminated its distribution phase at $160 and started its declining phase that could take it back to $88. All stocks generally go through a typical stock cycle. That is, accumulation phase, advancing phase, distribution phase, and declining phase. Take a look at the following chart of GS and see how well-defined the phases of accumulation, advancing, and distribution were since March 2009.

What does this all mean? Well, stay completely clear of GS! I have placed FAZ on my radar. FAZ is the financial bear ETF. It moves inversely to financial stocks. In the case of FAZ, it carries leverage of 3X. That is, if financial stocks decline by 10%, FAZ should appreciate by 30%. Likewise, if financial appreciate, FAZ declines by a factor of 3. Stay tuned!
