Let be realistic....

Hi readers

Not much has happened since last post.
Oil has dropped away , stocks are going up and down.
So far today we went short the open on the ASX200  and covered for a nice profit.
 Just waiting on the S&P to pop up a little more to the 67-68 area and will also short for a trade.
Notice how BHP is back under $24 and as stated previously should close under $23 by month end.

A number of you are asking questions which I've answered before, but for those who are first time reader will answer again.

First use the planning dates as a guide.
Use it as a filter to your own work.
 If it agrees then the trade could be a true move.

Set profits targets and to be honest some are ridiculous.
Look at a 25-40 point moves on the ASX200, that's over .50-.75% return for the day.
On days that I expect a serious move I look for 1-2%.
Get the idea of a full blooded bull or bear market out of your head.
Trade what's in front of you not what might be.
With other market use same principle, work on a .50-.75% return.
If you achieve this in a month then a 5-10% return not out of the question.

Don't be one of those desperate traders looking to trade daily, a few points in the end you will get caught and get burnt badly.

Personally I only trade the astrological days that I post for all to see.
Days of no astrological significance walk away from the computer, the market will still be there tomorrow.

All other days are subject to the manipulators moving the market from side to side for there own interests.( option premium/ expiry)

The China troubles haven't finished yet by a long way, government has just flooded the market with money at the present time.
Yet still only 38% of the market is being traded.

Readers if the above is beyond you then it might be time to let others trade for you and you pay them.
Trading should not be stressful.

financial astrology keeps on loading the pockets

 Hi readers

I thought it would be ideal to just let the market trade with the astrology already posted for the day's moves.
As you can all see now, astrology does work whether you can accept it or not that's another issue.
Smart traders use it as a tool while foolish traders will always criticise it.
I've found those who always put it down are those who have major flaws in there trading, as a result they are the 85% who donate to the 15% .

As for news around the world.
In Australia it's a serious mess which it's getting cleaned up.
The economy is running on the credit card and that has to end.
Westpac raises rates .25% and all of a sudden the property market is in trouble.
For those of you who have been following our wisdom in keeping out of the property market, just sit back and wait for the bargain to fall in your lap.
On the 10th of October banks sold 88 in Melbourne , on the 17th of October banks sold 197 properties in Melbourne.
It's reported that this weekend 24th October 394 properties will go to auction due to defaulting/repossession.
Yep the property market is just fine don't panic...LOL... Someone forgot to tell melbournians the truth.
As for Sydney well that's another bomb which is about explode.

NFLX...sure it's growing but what the public doesn't realise is that , a free 60 days trail is not a subscription.
As a result professional money has been selling the stock while the uneducated keep talking up the stock, as a buy.
APPL is another which requires caution.
Sure the crazy must have's will always buy anything new that comes out but after that what next.
We have already been told that IPhone 7&8 are on the way next year.
This company has got to where it is because of its innovation not production line profits.
If not careful this company could become another Microsoft.

On the political front, the democrats look like a rubble at the moment.
Wanting to show that Hilary isn't a sure thing is smart and stupid.
Burning Joe Biden isn't smart.
As for the republicans the spats between candidates isn't the way to win elections.


In trading
There is a nice sell off next week coming which we are getting prepared for.
This Friday's move is I guess for a small trade or a clean out.

To those who traded BHP with us now you can see what we are talking about.
We took the 12-15% move, got out others bought the stock above $25 thinking the stock would go to  $30 and now the stock is going back under 23 by the end of the month.

Anyway those who are short at the present time heading into next week use caution, as market don't trade one way..
REMEMBER THIS....

YOU CANT GO BROKE TAKING PROFITS

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.

How awesome is this market

Hi readers

Well what a week it's been.
Volatility is the word at the present time.
Markets dip at the start of the week only to make it all back up by the close of the week.
For those who are asking yes I am holding all my position and intend to for a while.

Lunar eclipse has brought out a lot of rubbish into the public eye which isn't of any use to anyone or the market.
It's just a simple case of professional money pulling orders off and with no buyers around weak hands had to sell at any price.
As we saw with BHP under $22...
While I am a bear and am bearish on BHP, a good trader has to realise a great bargin when he sees it.
Yes if BHP trades above $25 I will liquidate the stock.
I expect this end of the month.
For those of you who are curious to understand my reasons for it , quiet simply the astrology is positive till the end of the month.
For the researchers look at what the market was at the start of the Mercury retrograde?
We have seen the bottom I believe!
Work out what the percentage move ?
Now put that to the original number of what the market was before the retrograde to get an ideal of where the market will head to .
ONCE AGAIN JUST AN IDEA..........NOT A GIVEN.
This is what I am trading...

On the political fronts

It is just my view only of course but it looks as tho Hilary help out a friend who was short biotech stock.in return for donations...
Her comments are totally unwarranted .... Errors like that are a big no no's or else they will bite her back.
To the Republicans readers
 Mr Carson is gain strength while Mr Trump wants endorsement from Tom Brady.
Seriously what has a footballer got to do with politics.

In Australia it hasn't even started yet and the liberal parties dog act on its leaders is gaining momentum.
Member leaving the party in droves, refusing to renewal membership.
All because of the media's polling which spooked the weak members of the party.
You don't see them now trying to talk to member to stay with the party.
Australian politics has because so metro that if they stay with Mr Turnball, the polls will have him winning yet they will loose the election and by a serious amount.
Tony Abbott knows this and that's why his keeping quiet..
( also I believe there is a reader who is extremely close to him).
He doesn't need to hang up dirty laundry.
The membership is doing it for him.
I read in the Australian that 18000 members of the 63000 refuse to renewal memberships.
If this continues the party will struggle.
We still haven't seen Mr Turnball be tested yet... February is only 5 months away.
Labour won't test him it's the polls and the media that will.

To the planners
I will do the astrology for the month and post it by Monday.

To the NFL friends Micheal Vick is no Ben , so we have to accept it, but he did play well...
As NE has the bye, I cant see the 49s getting within 20 of Green Bay..
Even at home for the 49s QB past performances are just that past.
Packers blockers are to good, and Rodgers will murder them.
If the 49s get with 20 of the packers that will be a great result.
