  3. as you know many market turning points have coincided with full moons. the most recent examples early sep, early oct, early nov and later november all worked almost perfectly!

    guess what? we will have a special BLUE MOON coming up Dec-31:

    i would not mind listening to a rational explanation for the moon effect, but whatever the reason it seems full_moon=easy_ money (at least by eyeballing the charts back a couple of years).

    could the tiny dump EOD be the harbinger of the things to come in the new year? i certainly hope so!!!



    Happy New Year, Everybody!!!

  5. It raised a few eyebrows. I had already sold down flat at 3:30.
    Came back and found it down another 100 or so, which was surprising. Next week will be interesting.

  6. even the blue moon can't move this market down :( . when some of the most powerful forces of nature are powerless,
    i say the market is totally artificially rigged to the upside by some very deep pockets.

    who THEY are I have no idea, but THEY are not my friends. No, Sir!

  7. Making money is so easy. If you put money on EWZ (Brazil) on Dec 31, '08, absorbed the big downturn of March, you look at your performance of 2009, you'll see an increase of 124% - no day trading, no worries, no sadness.

  8. 2009 was investor's dream, especially for those who waited until the spring to load up. it is unlikely 2010 will be investor's dream, at least not all of it IMHO.

    S2007S

    ^BVSP Bovespa 70,239.8203



    Do you honesty think this market heads up another 50%, 100% or even 150%.

    Seems many only think markets head in one direction.

    This will correct twice as hard when it corrects, you might see 100,000 maybe even 176,000, however when the correction starts you will see good old ewz under $25 bucks and the ^bvsp back under 30,000.
