Is it possible that last week saw the final capitulation?Nobody rings a bell at the bottom.I got up yesterday looking forward to real good shorting opportunities on the rally,but it's getting scary.Remember how fast it can move once it turns.If ever there was a time for stoplosses this is it!

[spectoacc] 18/6/2002 07:43

Morning ladies and gents. Media surprisingly negative - BBC pointedly describing yesterday as a dcb.

LC - just as a matter of interest, what time frame charts do you mostly use for US stocks?

What a strange sense of humour!

I have heard this is going to go down cos no one is buying their typewriters. We all have computers now.

FSe

I reckon it's too early too tell at the moment - I don't think the weakness is finished yet. The way I have been trading it all year is, mainly with USA stocks, buying the good charty uptrend stuff and selling the good downtrend stuff. So I have had a balance all year of just about 50% long and short and has worked very well.

I do think a retest of September lows is on the cards - I don't think we are going to see a quick recovery. If this happens all my longs will gradually get stopped and my shorts should clock it in. If I am wrong then vice versa.

But I think after a week like we have had, I don't see a sudden U Turn in sentiment and off to the races next week.

Time will tell

FSE - Oh I am short the bad stuff too - like MU - best short so far this year and still falling. But by my criteria, the chart for IBM looks bad at the moment too so it's gotta be done.....

[fse] 14/6/2002 15:49

Limpy.... why not short the bad stuff though rather than the good stuff ?
thats all i am saying !

Or one that needs to 'puff up' the stock.

A cynic? Me?

Yes.

Will you lot stop talking fundamentals please.

Limpy probably thinks these are an electricty company like Energis.

Indeed. Replace IBM with ORCL or AOL and a lot of the comments on this thread could easily have been made two years ago.

For some reason - I don't know whether it's accounting worries, fear of anything to do with tech, or violent objection to the CEO's choice in ties - but the big boys don't want to hold this one. Until something happens to make them change their minds, the fundamentals are irrelevant.

[limpsfield chartist] 14/6/2002 10:45

If the last three years have taught us anything, it's that share prices can often become extremely detached from sensible valuations, both ways. I don't dispute IBM as a quality company but if the market wants to hammer the good stuff with the bad, and throw up nice low risk shorts, far be it from me to argue.
