From Louise Yamada

After 25 years at Smith Barney / Citigroup and 15 years independent as LY Advisors, LLC, I have decided to retire from my monthly publishing deadlines. I have enjoyed the markets' challenge and hope we have served clients well with market direction and education in Technical Analysis to provide both safe passage and opportunity through the years.

This website will remain up for: Portfolio Review Consulting requests, Announcements and Educational events. Likewise, my email address (louise.yamada@lyadvisors.com) will remain intact. I hope to compile a collection of Special Features and Educational pieces, posting details on this website.

Our colleague of 27 years, Jonathan Lin, (see his Bio below) is taking the baton, to continue the monthly analytical Technical Analysis reports for clients, to which Louise will contribute. His new company is JTL Market Technicals LLC and the report is called Technical Focus. Jonathan can be contacted at jonathan.lin@jtl-mt.com.

The mission remains unchanged. Our objectives include analysis of the US equity markets, identifying "Buy and Sell Signals;" identification of S&P Sector / Industry outperformance / underperformance; shifts in leadership; US interest rate analysis, along with the US dollar, other Currencies, Energy and Metals complexes; risk management for preservation of capital; inter-market relationships; Educational Pieces, Special Features and Think Pieces, including long-term macro historical perspectives.

Most Sincerely,
Louise Yamada, CMT
