Not Even A Water Bomb.



This is going to be my shorted post ever, so far.
Leave aside bazooka! “Believe me Mario” did not even present a water bomb. And the market dived as I expected. I am sure many were tempted to short it and possibly many did. But the monkeys did cover 12 points back to the close. But the selling is not over yet and we may see some more selling tomorrow to bring in more bears. But I expect the market to rip back to 1380 level +/- few points before the real selling starts. So I will be waiting for next week to unfold.

I am unable to see the market action during the day and I am reviewing everything afterwards. So far things seem to be in line with expectations. We only have to have patience. Just because we can trade does not mean we will have to trade.

That’s it for today. I hope to have something more over the weekend.

Thanks for sharing my take on the market. GLTA.

  2. BB, what's the logic of this market? Two month ago, only a thinking of Spain will apply for bailout would crash global market. But now a rumor of this kind lift the market just inch away from year high. I don't understand? I am not a professional trader. I am very cautious with preserve my capital. But I just can't stop of thinking short this market, but too chick to do so. This is a crazy market. Could share some thought and suggestion on trading in this crazy market? Thank you!

    1. My dear A, logic and emotions have no place here. Have I not said time and again that this market is controlled by monkeys. I also wrote that they will kill the shorts and bears.I said " Do Not Short" I could not have been more clear. Do you now believe what I said?
      Just don't look for logic. As I say, return of capital is more important now than return on capital.

  3. Thank you, BB! Yes, you did say don't short. That's why I didn't. Trust your timing. Now just to wait for over heat heads to calm down I guess. Really appreciate for your help!

    1. Upside is limited. Down is more likely as of now.
