Private Investors got the better of the Hedge Funds on GameStop if you believe what you read.
A well organised aqueeze on the Hedge Funds shorts..

How it ends is anyones guess.
Apparently, organised groups have got together in the past and forced a major squeeze.
Dyor etc. But nice if "the little man" can force the big boys to run scared.
Livens it up a bit..

OPTI hit with heavy losses on development and leaving investors to work out the profit prospects against yesterday's losses - should multi-bag but not at all sure.
POG edging higher and way off my early day target of 10p to 12p - very promising still.
ASX:KGL in gold and moving back up as production gets ever closer - might well be a cheapish gamble of some worth.

Added POG Petropavlovsk again at a tad over 7p.

HK:575 Regent Pacific holding at 5.5c and worth about 7.4p or 110% profit, on paper, to original PLE investors at the close of trading on AIM.
Will the Chinese investors hold the price with most UK investors still frozen out, that's the question. Quite a lot of selling last week and probably down to HK former Plethora holders based in Hong Kong.

G'day ttg,

I tend to avoid oilers. Majors OK for divis I guess, but I prefer short term trading.

Excludes HSBA, which I do trade but irregular.

WLFE - tungsten price drifting, probably not a good time to buy. Guess that investors await results of testing at Hemerdon. I'm out for the moment, sold at small profit, but intend to return.

Golf, I play in Bermuda (have little choice, our friends there are all golfers). However, when playing pairs, I'm allowed a handicap of 40! Whilst in France, prefer sailing/fishing.

G'day Ig, Son changed direction? Not a budding F! driver?

cheers

German investor confidence has plunged to its lowest level since December 2012, compounding the negative newsflow emanating from the continent of late. In a reflection of the geo-political uncertainties centred on Europe's relationship with Russia, in the midst of the Ukraine crisis, the expectations component of Germany's ZEW index, a key gauge of business confidence, dropped to 8.6 in August. This was well below forecasts of 18.2 - from 27.1 in the previous month. Meanwhile, ZEW highlighted current figures for industrial production and incoming orders that suggested "markedly reduced investment activities on the part of German firms".

Aye, as did labour before him (Gordon and gold)? I support no party, but I'm a long term investor in AZN, £50, I'm gone!

Did I call the top of the Dow?

John C Burford

Dear XXXXXXXXX,

I think we've hit a turning point in the Dow's recent bull run. I have outlined the evidence to date in many recent posts.

If I'm correct this will have major implications, not just for spread betting traders, but for all investors and just about everyone in the world.

And if we have started a great deflationary bear market, most of the commonly-accepted 'givens' will be overturned, such as one I hear all the time: "energy prices will keep rising forever", and "inflation will always be with us"...

Of course, it is always dangerous to make such bold statements – there could be egg on a few faces. Many powerful players have a vested interest in keeping this bull market going.

My advantage is that I am independent and can call them as I see them – and I can take my lumps if I am wrong.

Calling a market top

I previously identified 22 May as the top in the Dow. Has the market confirmed this, or has it not? Let's see what the market has said since then.

February's rise in German ZEW investor sentiment from 31.5 to 48.2 must be singeing the fur on a few bears.

FRANKFURT-The European Central Bank unveiled its most aggressive plan to date to deal with Europe's nearly three-year-old debt crisis, promising open-ended purchases of short-maturity government bonds to keep borrowing costs down for Spain, Italy and other struggling countries.
ECB President Mario Draghi told journalists at a regular news conference following the meeting of the ECB's governing council that the measures, which revolve around the purchases of government bonds in the open market, will provide "a fully effective backstop" against market volatility.
"We need to be in a position to safeguard the monetary policy transmission mechanism in all countries of the euro area," Mr. Draghi said, repeating that the ECB would stay "firmly within our mandate" of keeping stable prices.
The details of the plan were largely in line with leaks that had dribbled out of the ECB and national central banks over recent days. The ECB will buy in the secondary market only existing government bonds with remaining maturities between one and three years without announcing any limits in advance, as long as the government in question is under a program approved by the euro zone.
The measures are aimed to primarily benefit fiscally troubled countries like Spain and Italy, which are facing difficulties financing their debt as their borrowing costs have soared to nearly unsustainable levels in recent months. Mr. Draghi argued again that the measures are in line with the ECB's mandate to preserve price stability.
Although many of the details had already been leaked before Thursday's ECB meeting, there was notable relief from markets in the fiscally strapped regions of the euro zone as Spanish and Italian government bonds rallied and European banking stocks surged.
Spanish 10-year yields traded at a three-month low of 6.04% compared with 6.09% before the conference started, down 0.34 percentage point on the day. Two-year Spanish yields also eased to 2.87% from 2.94%, according to Tradeweb.
Italian bonds also gained, with 10-year rates falling to 5.32%, or 0.18 percentage point on the day. Yields on shorter-dated Italian bonds also fell, with the two-year bond quoted at 2.32%.
By contrast, the December German Bund futures contract slid to as low as 140.27 from 141.40 at the close on Wednesday. In the cash market, the 10-year Bund yielded 1.50%, up eight basis points.
The movements in the longer-dated bonds were significant, since Mr. Draghi's program targets bonds maturing in three years or less. The fall in longer-term yields suggests investors are slightly more confident that the ECB's interventions will lead to a durable solution to the complex euro crisis.
"All in all, the ECB has presented a big new bazooka which should help buying time," said Carsten Brzeski, an economist with ING in Brussels. But he warned that "this is probably the furthest the ECB can go to help governments."
However, Mr. Draghi appeared to have been unable to convince German central bank head Jens Weidmann, who had voiced opposition to the plan. Mr. Draghi acknowledged that there was "one dissenting voice" but didn't mention Mr. Weidmann by name.
Mr. Weidmann's opposition was confirmed by a Bundesbank spokesperson.
"In the most recent discussions, as before, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann reiterated his frequently substantiated critical stance towards the purchase of government bonds by the Eurosystem," the spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement. He "regards such purchases as being tantamount to financing governments by printing banknotes."
In tones that hinted of impatience with Germany's complaining, Mr. Draghi rebutted suggestions that the measures represented a softening of the euro. The German news media in particular has raised the risk of a "lira-isation" of the currency, and complained of a betrayal of the legacy of the Deutsche mark, on whose stability the euro was originally modeled.
"I would not identify with this caricature of being an Italian," Mr. Draghi said. "It is the governing council, in its almost unanimous decision, that has taken this measure."
Asked whether the new program would be operational in time to help Spain over a refinancing hump in October, Mr. Draghi said: "It's in the hands of the government of Spain, and the governments of the euro area."
The Spanish government has so far refrained from seeking external aid for its funding needs, saying it would await details of the ECB plan first. Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Madrid Thursday, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he hadn't yet read Mr. Draghi's comments and, hence, he had no announcements to make at this point.
Ms. Merkel said she and Mr. Rajoy didn't discuss conditions for possible additional aid for Spain, which has already sought help for its cash-strapped banks. But in a sign that she wouldn't oppose the measures announced by Mr. Draghi, she told the news conference that "we have to regain trust in the euro."
Crucially, Mr. Draghi confirmed that the ECB won't claim the status of a senior creditor if the bonds it buys subsequently have to be restructured.
The new program called "Outright Monetary Transactions" replaces the Securities Markets Program, under which the central bank had bought some €209 billion ($263 billion) in government bonds. But the terms of the OMT purchases won't apply to the bonds already held in the SMP portfolio, whose senior status prevented the previous program from helping revive private investors' interest.
Mr. Draghi said the ECB would seek involvement of the International Monetary Fund in helping design policy conditions for the new program. The fund is openly leery about committing yet more money to the euro area, and has never given any indication that it would be willing to surrender its senior status.
The central bank will continue to offset its purchases in full by taking an equal amount of money out of circulation, in a process known as sterilization. By doing so, it aims to protect itself against charges of printing money to finance budget deficits, arguing that there is no net impact on the money supply. That distinguishes the ECB's bond-buying program from the quantitative easing programs of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, which are explicitly aimed at supporting the money supply.
The ECB will continue its purchases only as long as the country in question is deemed to be complying with the conditions it has agreed with the euro zone, Mr. Draghi said.
He also reversed, conditionally, a recent tightening of its rules on collateral for its credit, saying it would again accept all bonds issued or guaranteed by euro-zone governments. This change, too, will be subject to the government in question complying with the terms of its EU program.
Mr. Draghi said the ECB would seek the involvement of the International Monetary Fund in helping design policy conditions for the new program. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said the Fund "strongly welcomes" the new program, but didn't specifically say that the IMF would support it with its own money.
"The IMF stands ready to cooperate within our frameworks," Ms. Lagarde said in a statement. Ms. Lagarde is struggling to win approval for more IMF money for the euro zone, and has always insisted on the Fund's status as a senior creditor.
Mr. Draghi said the measures were necessary to stop the euro zone from collapsing under the strains visible in financial markets, which are increasingly reflecting "unacceptable" bets on the break-up of the euro zone. These bets may generate "self-fulfilling situations," he warned.
Earlier Thursday, the ECB left its official interest rates unchanged. It also cut its growth forecast for 2012 to a narrow range around minus 0.4% and its forecast for 2013 to between minus 0.4% and 1.4%.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Draghi slightly raised the ECB's forecasts for inflation in the same period, saying that it would stay above 2% this year, but fall below that level next year.
The euro fell back below $1.26 against the dollar after the ECB slashed its economic growth forecasts, but the losses were limited as Mr. Draghi outlined the conditions for buying of government bonds.
"If ever there was a case of buying the rumor and selling the fact this is surely it. Draghi delivered exactly what the market expected and investors locked in some profits," said Peter Kinsella, foreign exchange strategist at Commerzbank.
