Short term reversal is probable here

28th May 2010 by Simon Comments Off

In my previous blog post ‘Dow gets close to Feb lows’I mentioned we were due for an oversold reversal. This was a strong move up today so i’m thinking this could be the trigger day. I’m really waiting for the DOW to cross it’s 20 period moving average on it’s 6 month chart, with a [...]

Dow get’s close to Feb lows

20th May 2010 by Simon Comments Off

We had another large selloff on the DOW today bringing us back close to February lows. Dow also closed below the 200 day moving average. I know i’ve been warning this market is overbought for the last couple months with some of the articles i’ve posted… but my feeling is that we get some massive [...]

Market Drops Today… Possible Correction Trigger

27th April 2010 by Simon Comments Off

Just a quick note to say that a large selloff happened to day. All major indices breached their 20 period moving average. The last time that happened this strongly was in February. If this is really the trigger, and start of the selloff… then we could be looking at a significant drop. If it was [...]

Is this another false alarm like July?

17th November 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Great artice by Chris Rowe. Based on this i’m lightening up a few of my bearish positions and hedging with some bullish ones.

“If you’re like me and just about every trader/investor I know in the market right now, you’ve been looking at one “false market signal” after another, one “whipsaw” after another, and one “head [...]

URGENT – Market has reversed and bears are now in control

3rd November 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Last week, 11%of all stocks (net)on the New York Stock Exchange broke through support levels, putting them on sell signals.
I’ll make the importance of this event very simple.
All you have to understand is that, if a stock declines and breaks through a key level, the stock is much more likely to continue lower (because the [...]

Just a quick market caution… i received a report that as of yesterday morning the New York stock exchange bullish percent index has reversed to “O’s”, meaning that the sediment has changed from a “bullish” stance to a “bearish” stance and the bears have taken control of the market.

Issues of the Central Banks

1st September 2009 by Simon Comments Off

Important excerpt:
“Central banks may find themselves hiking into a weak recovery to quell asset prices, or they might compensate for the weakness in the interest rate and credit channels and allow asset prices to rise but risk inflating another bubble. Central banks could gain some much-needed flexibility by thinking outside the IT box – but [...]

Don’t bet on the recession being over

19th August 2009 by Simon Comments Off

We’ve got an extended economic adjustment ahead. Most probably far longer than most investors presently expect. As always, we’ll take our opportunities as the evidence emerges, with the objective of outperforming our respective benchmarks over the complete market cycle, and an additional emphasis on defending capital over the course of that cycle…..

WARNING: Prepare for a possible market crash in June

26th May 2009 by Simon 6 Comments

MARKET WARNING
This is not hype or sales pitch. It’s a FACT. The market could very easily — and probably will — (what every investor would have considered, by historical standards) crash! When we managed money on WallStreet through the ’90s and halfway through the 2000s, this is the kind of market we would lick our [...]

The Trend Is Your Friend Until the End of the Trend

20th April 2009 by Simon Comments Off

A very interesting article!
“Stability, though, as we were taught by Hyman Minsky, leads to instability. The more stable things become and the longer things are stable, the more unstable they will be when the crisis hits, because we human beings learned to trade and invest by dodging lions and chasing antelopes on the African savannah.

Are Insurance Companies the next to fall?

11th April 2009 by Simon 1 Comment

Over the last year, the financial media has focused primarily on the major banks and their solvency issues. We have heard relatively little about the major insurance companies, which were not eligible to participate in federal bailout programs such as the TARP. As I will detail in the following pages, most of the major insurance [...]
