At Marcus Today, our primary objective is to maximise returns by capitalising on upward market trends, while minimising the impact of regular and significant corrections on your investments.
We strive to strategically navigate the market, aiming to be fully invested during favourable times, while actively avoiding downturns.

There are as many shades of personality as there are people, of course, and to make any sense of something so complex, the analysis had to generalise, which meant pigeon-holing us all into categories.
Some people love the stock market. But they are few and far between, you only hear about the winners, and most of you will only ever visit the activity, find out its too much work, too painful, too costly, too damaging to your relationship, and you move on.
Marcus Today does Technical Scans every day, and on 15 September 2023, they turned up four big stocks (five if you include Resmed CDI (ASX: RMD), seven including resources) that are interestingly oversold on weekly charts.
