Hope you all had a great ThanksGiving. Today the half day
session presented quite a nice Turkey, deep fried Texas style. Only folks
complaining were Zerohedge who found many reasons why this is a fake rally.
Most likely they do not read this blog otherwise they would have known that we
have called for this bounce weeks back. We can also tell them that this bounce
will continue for better part of next week. It does not mean we are long. But
we can save them lots of heartache and agro.
Those of you who lost tons of money since 2009 getting
caught up in bear talk and that imminent collapse here is one blog you must
read everyday just to re-wire the brain.

Bill was 1st to start financial blogging before
doom and gloom blog became fashionable and he identified the collapse of the
financial system in 2007. He is a genuine person who is not into ranting and
always gives facts to justify his position. His website is hosted here in
America and he does not get money from anybody to create negative propaganda. This
one is a must read for those of you who have been brain-wasted by Voldemort.
Anyway, the half day session saw all risk assets rip higher.
Gold and silver had a nice jump and most likely the trade suggested by Stock
Trader’s Almanac is going to be winner 13 year in a row. But if you also
remember, the exit date of that trade is around December 2-4. So if you are
long PM as a trade, remember to take profit. Crude however is moving in the
range. But the most important thing which I thought worth mentioning today is
the dollar index.
US$ Index dived almost 1% which is a big move in one day and
no wonder PMs are jumping higher. But crude has not been able to close higher
when USD is at a low, it does not bode well for crude in future. This chart of
crude is from Lance Roberts.
I had written before that Crude may bounce upto $ 91-92 and
this chart supports my calculation. Should Crude reach that level and Dollar
Index reach 79.50 in the next 3 or 4 trading sessions, it will set up a nice short
entry.
Nat.Gas reached close to my up-side projection and I had
closed half my position. Most likely I will look for getting out of the rest by
next week. I expect Nat.Gas to go up $ 6 but in short term, it has gone up
almost 50% in 6 months and is time for some pull back. It may not happen but
why take the risk.
Equities most likely will see some pull back on Monday
before one final push up. The sell set up will kick in around 1425-30 or
November 29th, whichever comes 1st. And this time I plan
to go short with some leveraged ETFs.
In my last post I wrote about coffee. I think it is
bottoming and look for the confirmation as highlighted by our dear reader in
the last post. This has to be a long term trade and have your stop loss
according to your risk tolerance level.
So you see, we have lots of opportunities coming up next
week. Santa is giving you advance gifts
and I hope you will be nimble enough to grab them. I cannot directly tell you
what trade to take. I can only say what I have done. So join me in Tweeter
because I will tweet as I take a trade. Also please share the blog with your
friends who may benefit from it.
Enjoy your long weekend and have fun. Thanks for your
donations and supports. The blog now has a link for a job board and I hope it
will be useful to some of you. Looking for your feedbacks and questions.
Thanks for your selfless advice! What is your twitter handle?

DeleteThank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge thru this blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the best safe leveraged ETFs for shorting? Thanks in advance!
Over a longer term leveraged ETFs lose value but they are ok for a shorter period. There is no such thing as safe leveraged ETF but please go through this list:

You will find a whole list and then do your analysis to select those which you would like.
I would probably go for FAZ, TZA, SDS, SQQQ but would love to hear from readers about their recommendations.
Thank you for your quick response!
DeleteIn terms of shorter period, what's the maximum period (number of day/weeks) these ETFs can be held before they start losing value.
Thanks again!
That depends. I do not hold them for more than a month. Close position very often even if I have to re-enter later.
DeleteMay be this article will explain better:

Thanks for your advice. You seem like a stand up guy with no hidden agenda. In the current market, do you recommend looking only at the short term? Or are there some longer term strategies that make sense too?
ReplyDeleteThanks. Some longer term trends will develop by end of the year, like gold. Nat.Gas is a long term buy but will most likely pull back short term.
