that is typical Alsi... Do what is the least expected.  Entered a short on futures @ 495. Seriously hope to see some more downside today.

 

Just when I decide to go short, sh@t happens. lol. Alsi will probably look for a new high today since I'm short.

Thanks A. I'm not taking up any new positions now. Although short seems the way to go. Very tempted to go long just for today with possible upside, but too risky. Would rather sit out and add shorts  at the top if we get there. Otherwise will add in this range if it holds later.

Had a feeling this was gonna happen. Now we will probably see a "fake" move up again, consolidate and down again.

Think you have your answer by the look of things....even if she makes a comeback I will just add shorts! ;)

 

January should be interesting....

Interesting indeed! Shorted yesterday and added another 100pts up. Will add for every 100 up.

Expect her to bumble along in a tight range today.

 

Will be looking tothe new year for the shorts to start working.

 

For those going short, expect a 7 point divi deduction, not a big whack...

 

Happy Old Year!

A, based on the adjustment in price this afternoon, do you think the upside will continue tomorrow?

Very little action on IGM and the green of the east is not reflected ....might be good for my short ....
Took profit on short and went long at 270. Will monitor closely.

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

Hi A, what do you think about the ALSI seasonal daily factor with 31 st  Dec being normally very green and the S&P and NSDQ very green the first two days after new year?

but I agree that the S&P is currently very over extended not that it cant go more overextended - Your thoughts?

 

( I seem to be unable to attach or paste in line the graphic showing the very positive seasonal two days after new Year I just mentioned)

First 3 days of January indicates on what year we are going to have...same with 1st day of the month, not always for certain but is 70% the case!

 

First 3 days of 2013 was very green and look where we ended, with QE3 coming to an end you can bet 2014 going to be down!

 

But as 2013 were bullish we had big downswings also, same with 2014...will end very bearish but first half should be bullish!

 

Seasonals and charts must always align!

A

First half of 2014 should still be bullish due to the consolidation we are making, just my take...after this drop in Jan she should continue north, she will only start to seriously drop Q3/4 just before QE3 ends!

 

Don't wait too long..she is already busy with her top to start running down! ;)

No buddy A and S chased Santa away :(
and the high for Dec seems to be in now I have to sell and go to the beach...again.

I'm a little bit of an optimist and foolish. I'm gonna hedge my exposure in a little while and wait to see what it does at close.  Have also taken some profits already.

 

If we drop further, I might take an overnight long with a tight SL. Just have a feeling we will revisit our top before we go down. Alsi don't just make u-turns...

Trend I spotted... Not on Alsi, but on forum. When everyone is waiting for proper direction, it's silent in this forum.

 

Come on guys, buy the dip, so we can go to new highs!!! Lol. A and S said that you should only sell the rallies from 2014.

 

I'm still long hoping for that last bit of Santa goodness.

Happy holidays.

 

Just wanted to say good bye to all the ALSI traders.

I have officially moved all my money to my offshore broker.

 

I'm no more trading ALSI. Those who want to get hold of me, can find me through skypename: shonimaze

 

Had a great time sharing here.

 

If i can just leave you with a trade plan, sell the rallys

 

Enjoy your 2014

Good luck S and all of the best. As the other guys said, you will be missed. Your insights will really be missed. Was a awesome to see "fundamental" and technical advice work together.

 

Look forward to your insights on the international indices.
