Dividend yields can yield handsome dividends

Article Abstract:

Chartists' tools for analyzing the performance of shares may involve frequent checks, but some only require an annual investigation. Dividend yields and share prices can be compared and yields can indicate the direction of the market. Low yields may indicate a drop in share prices but this may not occur immediately and can take some months. There is no certainty as to how markets will perform but the indications are that UK share prices may not rise much in 2nd half 1996.

It still makes sense to sell in May

Article Abstract:

The UK stock market tends to see a drop in share prices during May, and there is a higher than average risk of a large fall in share prices in this month. Analysts are divided as to whether UK prices are ripe for a drop in May 1996. Some analysts see this as unlikely unless share prices fall in the US. An examination of historical trends does not give a clear answer. UK share prices have sometimes started to fall prior to those in the US.

The worst of times. (bear markets)

Article Abstract:

The bear market in 1920 triggered by the 30% rise in retail prices and unemployment at more than 20%, caused prices to fall 47% in less than two years. Other major bear markets started in April 1928 running for 49 months and the fourth bear starting in 1972 when the majority of western economies were affected by recession, inflation and commodity shortages.
