Interesting week is coming - Fed, earnings, data, month end. Magnetic storm was on Friday. Traders will be very busy Will close long at Monday opening, wait for further gains to open short.
My long swing is now just over 100pts gain, I posted my opinion on Qs on ES thread and expected them to rally based on weekly very strong close. Look at Asian indexes today already a reaction. All world markets ought to get into bull gear this week and take off.
Well traded, my take on this is that you guys have to look into going long with insurance and hold and make some serious returns on capital. By all means do not simply listen to me, I am a piker after all, but I do see world markets really advancing this year into the next as Western business have their mittens in both Chinese and Indian economies, so our economies ought to benefit just from growth of the Asian sector.
Iâm trading two strategies in eurostoxx, swing and intraday. At the morning Iâm looking at put/call ratios, volumes, US markets and making a view for a day. Iâm holding swing position for a day or two, using low leverage. If I have enough time, Iâm trading intraday with another account in the direction of my view, buying deeps and leveraging down (2 times, not more )
The beginnings of an 18 month equity bubble John Dizard, writing in FTfm, predicts the start of an equity bull-run; a traditional end of cycle rally. The bubble hasnât popped, itâs just beginning to inflate. Over the next 18 months, says Dizard, we should expect to see equity markets shoot the moon. There are three pre-cursors to that: 1. Central banks must set aside their âdelusionalâ dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models and cut policy interest rates. 2. The market in doom-and-gloom financial punditry will run out of steam, having accelerated the depressive part of the current credit cycle to its bottom. 3. New money. Of Dizardâs three conditions, itâs the last - new money - that is perhaps the most significant:One traditional sign of a decade-plus top in a market is the entry of well financed, but less well informed punters. Foreign institutions are usually the ones who come in to any market at the end to pay for the last round. www.ftalphaville.com
