I find trading like body surfing, catch the right one and you will make it all the way to the beach.

Goldman Sachs reports a 21 percent drop in quarterly profit as revenue from fixed-income trading falls in what Chief Executive Lloyd C. Blankfein describes as "a somewhat challenging environment".

It was a tough year for the big boys. Trading is not easy

The Philidephia FED manufacturing index - usually has an impact on movement. Just like Bloomberg confidence index, doesn't really mean that much in the scheme of things but the market reacts.

And uncle Ben is having a say at 18h10 - I am staying out until 10 minutes after he is done. Do not trust this downward action ATM

Yes market will react on that number. Uncle Ben will just say the economy is doing good. Markets will just be volitile then continue with the trend set by Philly number

Hi S, just explain the "Just lookout for Philly event at 17h00 before making any trades."  please - Thanks

Philly is a production number which will show weather the US is growing.

 

A good number means stocks turn bullish for the sake of SA40 breaking above 42000 and Dow hitting new highs today.

 

A bad number will make things tricky. I might see my stops get hit.

Can someone please  explain to me why CPI is supposedly the market moving variable at this time?

 

and what effect is a dropping vs rising cpi going to have?

A rising CPI means fatser taper.

A low CPI means slower taper.

An inline CPI means the trend continues.

 

The FED are focused on CPI now. If CPI does not rise, it means rates will remain low forever

 

The released CPI number is inline, which means the trend continues.

 

Just lookout for Philly event at 17h00 before making any trades.

 

I'm still long.

"Attitude produces better overall results than analysis or technique, of course the ideal situation is to have both, but you really don't need both, because if you have the right attitude the right mindset then everything else about trading will be relatively easy even simple and certainly a lot more fun." - Mark Douglas, Trading in the Zone.

 

Don't listen to me, I'm a market Rookie.

"There is no training..classroom or otherwise..that can prepare for trading the last third  of a bull market" Paul Tudor Jones

Typically no logic to (the last third) irrationality reigns supreme, and no class can teach what to do during that volatile reign

Only way to learn how to trade during that last, exquisite third of a move is to do it, or, more precisely, live it.

Fundamentals good for first 60% but last 1/3 of a bull market is typically a blow-off where mania runs wild, prices go parabolic

 

According to A, we will go parabolic until end of March. Which puts S&P at 1900

I cant wait for the Red Hanger Sale

 

Some are already saying we have a Hollywood Top

A, jump in and make money.

Dont worry about what will happen in March,June,December. The Gatsby times are here.

It will correct at some stage, but for now we make money until it gives us a reason to sell.

 

I see the ALSI has not even broke the middle bollinger band line.

It needs to break that line to confirm trend change. for we skep tewyl dit reen.

 

I'm buying with both feet until my stop loss gets hit. We have reached a stage were people are expecting the market to drop, that's why it does not drop.

 

Enjoy the good times.

 

Viva La Bull :P  :P :P  :P  :P  

Well done on your longs for the past week, well traded!

 

Will join the bullteam next week...as you say still good money to make on the upside...!

 

But think the turn is closer than many traders think.....but mr market will let us know!

The 4 year/Kress cycle will soon take hold..and going to catch a lot of investors with their pants down, for now still good upside and new highs coming but just put in a reminder for March! 

 

Going to be the big retest in 2014 of the breakout all markets have experienced (12 years consolidation), SPX back to 1540ish....should set the secular bull in motion after!
