Spenny,


This is the ratio - You go do a swing trade of 200/300 points...it goes against you by 40 points...but then falls down -200/300 which you expect just the same as 400point margin on a drop of 2000/3000 pointer...



Its a Dow annual..from where we are now...you'll make money its a no brainer.

kooba, comment (agree) and link appreciated.

[0pec] 13/8/2009 17:12

Bracke - lol.

[spennysimmo] 13/8/2009 17:11

0pec, don't be patronising. All I am saying is if by your own admission you KNOW where the top is, why advise people less experienced than you to go short with enough margin for a 400 point loss? Don't need to be a 20 year trader to know that is a contradiction.

0pec

I now see you were referring to the past 18 months not the future 18 months. Now where's my banana?

ETR seems sensible as crude has become a bellweather of sentiment and there is a large speculative position currently.like most commodities tankers and warehouses are getting full on expectation of increased demand ...if the demand doesn't materialise if we have a double dip then commodity prices will get ravaged as the speculative positions are unwound.i think commodities could actually lead the correction in equities anyway.interesting article below on commodity demand.

[eriktherock] 13/8/2009 17:01

Opec, when the turn comes, will you short crude also ?

[thepinkpanther] 13/8/2009 16:59

[0pec] 13/8/2009 16:57

Spenny,


How about 18 months of non stop gains..




Spenny your new to this game...you wouldn't understand.

[thepinkpanther] 13/8/2009 16:57

[btsuck] 13/8/2009 16:53

[spennysimmo] 13/8/2009 16:52

0pec, I am not doubting that you know what you are doing. I have not been doing this for that long and have a lot to learn. But, anyone who says they know how and when the market is going to turn is deluded. No offence.

RBS uber-bear issues fresh alert on global stock markets


Britain's Uber-bear is growling again. After predicting a torrid "relief rally" over the early summer, Bob Janjuah at Royal Bank of Scotland is advising clients to take profits in global equity and commodity markets and prepare for another storm as winter nears.

"We are now in the middle of a parabolic spike up," he said in his latest confidential note to clients.

This time he expects the S&P 500 index of US equities to reach the "mid 500s", almost halving from current levels near 1000. Such a fall would take London's FTSE 100 to around 2,500. The iTraxx Crossover index measuring spreads on low-grade European debt will double to 1250.

[spennysimmo] 13/8/2009 16:49

0pec doesn't need to hedge, he knows.

Trouble is when the market moved irrationally in 2003, the economy actaully recovered and it never came back.

Don't think that scenario will happen this time because of the debt and mass unemployment problems, but very difficult to know when the correction will happen, or crash if the market moves too much out of sink.

No point trying to guess the top - could be 9,500, 10,000 or even 12,000.
