I know that historic data is just that - historic data. However, I keep looking at the charts for the last three years and the similarity really is very strong. Indeed this recent little jump and partial fall back mirrors what has happened in the last three years. If we are going to see a repeat, then the rest of this week and beginning of next week should see a substantial improvement. I suspect that I am wishing on a prayer but the yearly graphs patterns do correlate very strongly. When I first started trading and knew little better, I looked for shares where the pattern repeated and factored in a steady rise due to increasing underlying value and then traded in 7-12% range depending on the share. It proved remarkably successful but then I missed out on the really big rises when the pattern was broken. SEY's history reminds me of those times but I am hoping that some good recs and good news will help this share really break out and do a DNX for me over the next 2-5 years. Indeed, SEY became my largest ever holding numerically this morning, so please forgive my enthusiasm and impatience for something to happen.
