Build your own strategy, and let the inputs from, where-ever, just compliment it.

You must know when to hold them and when to fold them.

That's the beauty about the markets.

 

Bulls make money and Bears make money. But pigs get slaughtered.

How significant are today's housing stats? Difference between actual and forecast seems small to a newbie ("leek") like me??

Did the same with a R20k loss!

Housing Starts

REGION PERIOD EST PREV ACTUAL

What is it? Housing Starts is a report that measures the change in volume of new houses built in the US each month.

Why is it important? An increase in Housing Starts implies an increase in commitment to build new properties by developers and construction companies. As such a commitment will inevitably involve large outlays, it can be seen to indicate an increase in investment and business optimism. The report also sheds light on consumer activity: buying a new home is always likely to involve high consumer spending in the form of decorating costs, household appliances, etc. As a consequence of its relationship with consumer and corporate sentiment, property investment typically guides economic development. A fall in Housing Starts is often a forewarning of a slowdown in the economy, whereas a rebounding number of Housing Starts can often point toward economy recovery. The Housing Starts report is one of the earliest indicators for the housing market: only Building Permits is more timely. Released by: US Census Bureau (Monthly)

Did my computer freeze? Nothing happening whatsoever. 

 

I think traders are being cautious until FOMC meeting minutes are published. Tomorrow will be interesting...

Sept Open Interest Change: -36,619 to 37,634 contracts. The C option at 40 000 is still on the same 4510 calls.

 

BTW, the Sept contract PP is 39 114, S1 38 969. She bounced almost textbook style from S1 to PP.

NPN will cap gains today.

 

Only a guessing game from now till tomorrow.

8 pm their time? so early about 6am ours then ?

do you see more downside on Top 40F's today than where we are at now

 

8 our time.

I'm just following the trend, and at the moment it is showing south, I will close my position when I see a change in trend,

I dont think we will go down a lot further today, unless the ZAR starts getting stronger.

Thats just my view.
