A market trend is a putative prevailing course or tendency of a financial market to move in a particular direction over time. These trends are classified as secular trends for long time frames, primary trends for medium time frames, and secondary trends lasting short times. Traders identify market trends using technical analysis, a framework which characterizes market trends as a predictable price response of the market at levels of price support and price resistance, varying over time. The terms bull market and bear market describe upward and downward market trends, respectively, and can be used to describe either the market as a whole or specific sectors and securities. Secular market trendsA secular market trend is a long-term trend that lasts 5 to 25 years and consists of a series of sequential primary trends. In a secular bull market the prevailing trend is bullish or upward moving. The United States was described as being in a secular bull market from about 1983 to 2000 (or 2007), with brief upsets including the crash of 1987 and the dot-com bust of 2000–2002. In a secular bear market, the prevailing trend is bearish or downward moving. An example of a secular bear market was seen in gold during the period between January 1980 to June 1999, culminating with the Brown Bottom. During this period the nominal gold price fell from a high of $850/oz ($30/g) to a low of $253/oz ($9/g), and became part of the Great Commodities Depression. Primary market trendsA primary trend has broad support throughout the entire market or market sector and lasts for a year or more. From Wikipedia under the

I am doing a school project on the stock market, and one of the requirements is to calculate the percentage of increase or decrease of stock market prices over a few Fridays. Is there a possible function or formula to use on Excel or something to find this? Asked by Em - Fri Oct 5 09:00:43 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's a very simple calculation. You find the difference between the latest price and the base price. The base price is the price at the beginning of your trend. Then you divide the difference by the base price. For example, the latest price of the stock is $25. The price at the beginning of the period you wish to compare was $20. The difference in the price is $5. Divide $5 by $20 and you get .25. there has been a 25 percent increase in the price over the period. Suppose the earlier price was $32, the difference is -$7. Dividing -$7 by $32 gives you -.21875 or a 21.875 percent decline. Another way is to divide the latest price by the earlier price and then deduct 1 from the result: $25 / $20 = 1.25 1.25 - 1 = .25 or 25 percent $25 / $3 [cont.] Answered by Serge M - Fri Oct 5 09:32:09 2007 Which of the following statements about current labor market trends is true?

Q. What are the future outlook & trends, analysis of the competition, market segmentation, industry forecast of selling brownies like walnut brownie and cashew nut brownie? Asked by krystel R - Wed Mar 4 20:04:37 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. One of my favorite past times is when u pull into a gas station and buy a coke and a brownie I always choose a different one because they all suck there is no gourmet brownie or even a heat up one if you get that one u have a gold star. The problem with brownies is that companies have stopped promoting them they had there run in the 70's and early 80's until chips came around. the outlook does not look good especially since so everyone is worried about the waste line. There really is no seg. on brownies there is not just one companies who fields in them... Answered by darrell s - Thu Mar 5 01:49:05 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "market trends"
