Taking profits today .

Hi readers

So the market is performing as expected.
When we look at the moves we see that a number of stocks have come a long way while others have struggled.
That's why we see such huge differences in the indexes, due to the weighting of certain stocks.

Example in Australia BHP was a big weighting in the ASX200, hence that index has moved up almost 8% in a week.
On the flip side APPL weighting has dragged the S&P and NAS, 6%..
Please note that it's not set in stone that market must recap all of the % move the opposite side. It's a guide.
So these are just examples nothing more.

So today markets will be positive, and I will be closing out of all long positions.
As stated previously next week a reality check will set in and we could loose a fair amount of the gain the market has achieved this week.
Remember readers we are traders not Bulls or Bears.

Yes we might have got out of BHP early but we I did make over 10% in 5 trading days, so I'm happy with that.


To the German readers,  liquidate Volkswagen stock also as it can drop Again.

In regards to the U.S. indexes carrying long position over the weekend is at your own risk.
Be smart take the money and reassess next week .
As my Japanese trading mentor once said to me many moons ago " it's ok to leave a little bit on the table, your not going to find suckers if you don't."
THINK ABOUT IT.


To my NFL friends.. Steeler I believe will win this week , so to the Packer.
Yes I am a huge fan of GB and PITTS...
Not a NE fan just want to see them get to the Super Bowl and loose to either the GB or PITTS.
It's just my view but Tom Brady knew all along that the ball was flat last year.
But the NFL just want it to go away.

Enjoy your weekend guy.

Liquidated BHP as forecasted Monday .. When stock was at $23

Hi readers

As I've said before how go is this market....lol
Liquidated all BHP shares at a nice profit.
Please remember we are under the Mercury illusion so don't be lovers of the stock or indexes..
Sure market will trade higher but use caution.

Murphy's rule ....

 What goes up must come down.
Next week it will be interesting to see how much the market corrects...

Apple isn't what is it seems.

Hi readers

To my NFL Friends , great effort by the 49ers to only loose by 14.
The 49ers QB to me is shattered and needs to be replaces by a rookie.
Also it might be time to throw J.Haynes into the deep end..
The kid has great side step and has pace, so time to see what his made of.
They do make them tough in Australia so he can hold his own.
If he doesn't play this week coach should go, as hope is for God not a NFL ground.
Andrew luck is another that need to lift...

To the markets.
I'm still holding all my positions as posted and yes as you can see all are doing fine.
As for the darling stock APPL we saw what they posted.
While many small traders would be happy and thinking of big profit numbers, when you look at the real figure the profitability of those sales is what the professional money is looking at.
That is what the problem is.
Anyone can sell 13 million units but what is the profitability ? ( disappointing).

For those who want to know
I will be closing out of my trading position on Fridays positive day.
As for my stock (BHP) anything above $25 and I will liquidate, should it come before Friday.

Please read past post to understand the formula of a Mercury retrograde.
That will give you an idea of where the market might go.
I do believe that the SP was at the 1960, and the ASX200 was around 5100.( don't hold me to it).
Do your own research on it.

As for praises for the planning dates no need for it.
I hope it helps you make money.
Remember please to give something back to those in need.
KARMA has a wonderful way of rewarding those who give.
Even if it's a tip to a waiter or a musician playing his tune in the city.

I have a soft spot for Autism.
Good luck and please use the above as an indicator to your own work.

Planning dates

Hi readers

For the planners

5th up 

6th up but becoming weak late in the day 

9th up .liquidate longs

12th big down day 

14th mildly up 

16th down

19th up a little

20th down

23rd up in the morning down in the afternoon

28th down 

30th down aggressively

Means to the above..

Up......positive astrology

Down ....negative astrology.

The above astrological dates are for the following markets- Asx200, NAS,S&P and Hang SENG.

Note that Mercury goes direct on the 9th so the current illusion of the markets trading up will wear off and reality will come back.

Date that are not above have little astrological influence , and therefore I don't trade them regardless of news or earning.
