Hello and Welcome to PUG Stock Market Analysis. 

This stock market technical analysis blog has been live since October 2009 (for 16 years), providing unbiased stock market technical analysis of the SP-500, Gold and more that ignores the white noise of news and politics.  During that time there have been over 6800 blog posts made with over 15,000 charts on the markets and over 17 million page views.

PUG (Steve) has an engineering background and uses a disciplined scientific approach to analyzing the markets.  We have built a wonderful group of member subscribers who complement PUG’s technical analysis charts and commentary.  Subscribers interact with PUG and each other in the subscriber comment section.  Subscribers to the premium service are individual investors/traders, professional money managers, and hedge fund managers.
