I really like Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VUSA), it's my largest equity holding at 6.2%
I also like Stan Weinstein's Stage Analysis (*)
I use a 52 week simple moving average as my timeframe for larger purchases in Hargreaves Lansdown. I've not done one for nearly a year but am eyeing it with funds from the 070325 Gilt maturity.
As I write, it's a grim looking VUSA chart from a Stage Analysis point of view in the weekly view
However, to scratch the itch, I do pick up 1 or 2 units of VUSA at a time in Vanguard for fun because it's free to deal twice a day.
Even that activity has slowed this month. The reason being my timeframe for very low risk Vanguard pick ups is 5 minutes and price has rejected the 52 SMA line in that timeframe loads of times this month. It's definitely stage 4 in that time frame which is the no go zone !!
As a no-information investor, price is all I do know which is why I quite enjoy the technical side of things
Many call it reading tea leaves which is fair enough - my make up is such that I enjoy it all more with something of a plan. Keeps me sane !!
* The book is Stan Weinstein - Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets. It's an easy read and a good primer for technical analysis of charts
