Window dressing is on today

Hi readers

Today is what we call window dressing for the numbers.. Today is the last week of the quarter and most serious managers are looking after there own interests.
What tends to occur you put the selling aside and you let the market drift up.
Next week there is two days before the quarter finishes and some do use the last trading day also.
It's really gotten out of hand this quarterly reporting.
It should be the last trading day of the quarter not the last Friday of the month.
As I got told once upon a time money can change the goal posts to suit ones needs.
We saw the ASX gain 3% on nothing while the rest of the world was markets just drifted around.
Obviously there will be some good falls in coming weeks for that market.

Let's look forward with the lunar eclipse approaching we need to prepare for what's coming.
For the Bears out there entertaining moves are on the way, for the Bulls it's time to chill out in the stables, and for the Sharks there is some serious trading opportunities.

So interesting bull market

Hi readers

Disappointing day on my behalf, missed out on snaring a nice short on NFLX.
Missed out by a day but hopefully next week it might show some life and pop but doubt it.
In fact all stocks today came off a good 2%+ which is good for the Bears.

To the mother of all bull market people, it might happen but not for the next 20 months..
I think it's smart to just keep those views in check, and just trade what you see not what you believe will be.
Next week need to start preparing for the Lunar eclipse and its is going to be very damaging for those who don't heed warnings.

Metals and oil, the writing is on the wall soon 16 days, to the grains readers the flow on affects of a lower oil prices is seriously putting pressure on grain supply demand.
That's why we see beans under 1000 at present and corn hovering around 300 area.
Wheat at the present time also isn't doing much but the lunar eclipse will affect what's going on at the present time.
Supply will begin to slow while prices will push higher.
In the currency market at the present time don't know what to make of it, so I think it's best to just stay out of that market.

Many have asked about the Twitter account trading please note I have no intentions of hand holding anyone in trading.
I will just post what I do for all to see and then at the end of months or quarters display the account.
Not going to justify trades or reasons for trading so please note that.
Yes will trade world markets...

Cheers all 

So does the market understands growth?

Hi readers

Yesterday some very important numbers came out which markets have dismissed.
China's PMI was the lowest in almost a year.
That's after the stimulus of cuts in rates and government subsides.
There isn't much more government can do.
As I said before when so few have so much growth will never expand, same as what's happening in Europe and what's happening in the US.
While the U.S. seems to be growing, what is it producing which in can export to the world other than crops, or drugs.
You must understand finance has never created export dollars for a nation.
Therefore the U.S. at present is in illusionary mode, but this mode is for a while.
Australia,Germany and the U.S. in particular will be seriously affected by a Chinese slow down.

The only primitive thing left for the Chinese to do now is as everyone else does, devalue, which is an illusionary vision not a long term vision.

Nice pop today by NFLX which wasn't unexpected , hopefully tomorrow the stock hit the $450 area and we can then take positions.

I have done the astrology for TWTR and the news isn't good..
I strongly urge all who own it to liquidate, there is fraud going on in there and it's been hidden by smart accounting. It will come to light in due coarse, don't freak out when it's exposed, as stock will collapse so please use caution.
Yes I'm short this stock at the present time from $38+ and intend to hold and maybe increase at the right time.

Interesting how professionals know when to leave.

Hi readers
Over the weekend I recieved a number of email suggesting that this is the mother of all bull markets and that its time to get on before I miss out.
It's good that people are optimistic in there assessment but the bottom line is (my work) astrology doesn't support that view.
Markets will go up and down and as I said previously anything above the 23rd of dec numbers is a smart sell.
Look at the previous posts and you will notice the numbers and comments.
For those who want to know I still hold option in both FB&TWTR as stated and reloading on shorts on FB tomorrow but still holding TWTR shorts.
In regards to NFLX either Thursday or Friday will be ideal to reopen shorts.

 In regards to the market over the next couple of trading session my work is showing a drift down some what, so see what happens.

Soon we will be opening up a Twitter account to publish live trades as we do them using astrology.
While this is some what dangerous as some will take it out of context, the purpose will be to demonstrate how astrology assists with trading ... TBA later!

I read a report today from TITABS that 82% of trades and volume is executed by pension funds and institutional account, including hedge funds.
Which basically means that there is only18% of trades being executed by small investors.
So people consider this being nibble and smart you can take serious money away from these elephants.
Being greedy you will donate.
The huge return of once a upon a time are over as the crowd is too big.
The only way to make huge returns is to set the system up to fall, technical indicators, which everyone follows.
Just think about it before shooting emails at me.
Stating the facts no illusions.

Solar eclipse

Hi readers
How good is that market is hammering up from the time we said it would and I'm sure your all enjoying the great move up , but wise traders know when to take profit while amatures tend to loose them.
Once again please use caution  and don't trade against the astrology at the present time, it's very powerful for the next month or two.

To the Australian and UK traders who are using CFDs!

Guys please be careful, they are not for those don't really understand them.
Yes I have and do trade them from time to time.
A few pointers
1. Yes astrology is the ideal tool when trading CFDs as the market makers are looking at the same technicals as everyone else so you do tend to front run the MM.
2. With CFDs don't try and catch the tops or bottoms you never will be allowed, as placing orders allows the computer to alert the MM of a trade so it's best to hit the market immediately without any warning to the MM.
3. You'll notice when someone hits the market immediately the spreads widen to allow the market maker to either arbitrage or hedge the position.Once there is no follow through the market comes back to its spread.
4.CFD are good if your taking a long term view of something, with the leverage you can obtain good value for money as long as you are prepared to loose just as much.
Yes my last trade on NFLX I did with CFDs and shorted everyday a little..40% on the first trade and then 10% everyday after when it was trading higher.
It's these sort of strategies you need to consider before trading.
5. Think about who your trading against and understand that there pockets a way bigger than yours.
Therefore slowly entering trades is better than a one hit play, and exiting immediately is ideal when taking profit.
6. Don't think for a minute that the computer system isn't looking at your trades.
I was in the HSBC trade room 8 days ago, catching up with a friend and believe you me the computer detects every trade certain accounts do. These accounts are the players, while the majority tend to be the suckers, which is better known as the profit centre for CFD providers.

I hope this has helped out many of you considering or trading CFDs.

Solar eclipse

Hi readers
Market moving all over the place at present .
Up down then more down then up.
We are approaching a solar eclipse on  Friday.
This is very opptimistic eclipse so market will gather momentum and run higher. Will it make new highs , I don't think so but anything is possible.
Market will be positive until the lunar eclipse which then brings in a serious reality check and all gains will be lost in half the time.
Keep an eye on it , and try not to trade on the opposite side of the astrology as it will cost your money.
Oil is continuing to slide and as previously stated interests will make sure oil is under $40 a barrel.
Grains are showing life and times up if you haven't already bought wheat.
In stocks the Apple watch is a lemon and the stock will reflect it soon.
As I said before watches are a thing of the past..

To my long time readers yes as one email put it NFLX is my bitch.
The stock has very bad astrological aspect since inception and so it will continue to be.
Yes today we will be closing out shorts on the stock and banking some serious money, as it closed at $417..

Question
Some have asked me about CFD, and while they are a huge leverage tool I think it's dangerous to trade them if your not experienced.
In the US it's illegal and that's for a reason, where as in Australia and the UK and even in parts of Europe there permitted.
With CFD TIMING IS EVERYTHING as you are up against the house.
While they say that your hedged against a market, the truth is your trading against the house who can see your position so you need to be very careful.
Should they want to squeeze you out they can , so please use common sense.
You must be humble and nimble to trade CFD, and retail is far from it.

Questions.

Hi readers
A great deal of questions so rather than responding by email, thought it would be better to post for all to see.
1. You stated previously that China will be the catalyst for a disaster, China just lowered growth is this the start?

Glad you remembered, yes China didn't have a problem signing it's free trade agreement because it knows that slowing growth domestically will cut imports while opening the door for exports.
Countries need to focus on there strengths and stick to them.
Under 8% growth spells trouble for Australia, that is not rocket science as Australia has put all its eggs in one basket.

2. When are you going to be updating daily.

I've just obtained my license again to recommended, while I don't intend to I can update on more futures markets.

3. How strong do you see the US$ getting, as want to plan holiday.

I do see the dollar get far more stronger, 105-110 is next stop..US DOLLAR INDEX.
If your American enjoy it's your time for the next 2 years.

4. How low does the A$ go.

We have seen over the last couple of weeks that no longer do interest rates work.
So cutting rates is only excellerating the move down.
It's my personal opinion that the 60-63 level should hold.

5. How long is this cat and dog game will continue in the market?

I think it's smart for you not to become sucked into becoming a Y gen punter in the Stockmarket, as has been the case in Europe and the U.S.
People with no idea have had to put there life saving into the Stockmarket hope to obtain a comfortable return.
Stockmarket over the next 18 months is a gamblers paradise.
Opportunities will come where good companies will be very cheap then that would be the time to buy and forget about them and enjoy the recovery.
But that's not now!

6. I know your a bear on gold but for how long?

Gold in my view is a waste of money, you don't buy things with gold coins.
So gold is just to preserve wealth, not to grow wealth unless your a trader.
Right now gold is expensive, sure if gold was trading around $300-400 that would be cheap to buy and hold but at these current levels it's not worth it.
It's the same with oil, silver or even copper, it's a supply and demand issue.
In a slowdown prices come down.
Yes interests always will talk up the price and the need to buy now as prices will increase.
But the truth:: we can do without and wait until price comes to our level.
Same can't be said for grains or soft where people have to eat and weather controls prices.
