Thanks Wattie, what a day indeed! I've been scrambling to find upside protection to hedge me in the event that the market rips higher, as I'm quite heavily short and, as you know, I'm not at all happy about the put:call ratio. I went long WMT last week, and I like the way it's behaving, so I've added more long calls. It's in a bullish volatility squeeze:What a day!
Good call on Walmart Froddy.....was green when I last saw and looked very isolated in that respect.
This is only going downhill from here- act on your Pensions fellas if you haven’t yet done so. It’s gonna get a lot worse.
Mixed day, trail stopped out of miners.....think I’m gonna give them a miss from now on- too volatile! Expecting my ASX miners to get stopped out today.Thanks Wattie, what a day indeed!

Netflix has fallen out of the "distribution" pattern on the 78 min chart, which is a bit of a nuisance:
Normally I would close out my long in this situation, as price now appears to have entered the "decline phase". That is, until you see this trendline on the daily chart (peek-a-boo!):
So I've hedged my bets by buying a put trade too, pending the price deciding whether to hold trendline support over the next day or two.
Hope things are going well for you ...
Gold looks good to me, and we are at a reasonably significant timing decision too (just be aware):My Gold, (which i’m Now around 45% in overall is romping)
No way it’s falling long term......they’re gonna need to print Trillions to support this pile of cr4p.Gold looks good to me, and we are at a reasonably significant timing decision too (just be aware):
There is a momentum shift plus volatility squeeze on the 1 hour chart, and multiple squeezes setting up elsewhere:
Hopefully the timing decision is "up"!
I agree - looks great on the 4hr chart too:No way it’s falling long term......they’re gonna need to print Trillions to support this pile of cr4p.
Probably spot on, expect it to plunge in the coming weeks.So, the market’s been open 2 minutes and the most predictable bounce ever has seen the FTSE 100 rise 1.5% already. Just for fun, I’m going to predict that by the end of the day it will have regained a third of yesterday’s losses. I have no knowledge or skill behind this production, it’s just my wild guess. Anyone else fancy predicting the closing figure for the FTSE today?
People not so foolish selling rally’s!So, I was wrong. Sort of.
The FTSE 100 did regain the third of yesterdays losses that I thought it would. But it did that by lunchtime, then lost if all again this afternoon, to end up back where it started at 8am this morning.
