You ever see what happens to them blokes in Pamplona? You know, those who try to run in front of stampeding Bulls?

I read somewhere that those who like pi**ing into the wind, can't complain about their laundry bill.

Since iv been monitoring all the news going on, i have not yet seen any solid reasons why the market is bouncing so much, but i rate its still to early to short, Tom, please give a reason why u think nows the time to short

I think you will have to wait for Wall Street to break support on the hourly before you can have any reason for shorting. At this stage, it's still in the hourly channel.

Not sure what tom,s reasons are for Bil but SBK may be a good call if you look at the weekly chart from Nov 2007 the trend is still down with 8100 res and 6000 support also trading way above 22day ema and on upper bol probably also little overbought could be a good short

I'd wait for a sign of reversal rather than try to call a top. A dead bull bounce can last for weeks if not days.

i agree with call to short BIL if it does not break 200, 19600 area has been too big a ask over the last 4 months or so, but 10% yesterday does cause me to hesitate

Either bil will go down or up depending on next day or two close.If above 19800 possibility of move towards 21000.I dont think so.Last traded above 19800 26 Sept,failed on17 Dec 19700 high,failed 6 Jan 19800 high,9 Feb 19800 high.Looks like major resistance at these levels.I will wait for confirmation,I personaly think maybe a bit of down leg coming up?

Simon, I miss your point. If he shorted yesterday at close, like he indicated, then he is in the green by 1.x percent.

I assume that Tom emailed you or spoke to you giving you explicit permission to reveal how his trades and Stops are doing..... or do you automatically have the right and largesse to breach confidentiality? Very concerning..... :(

Tom would have mentioned his Tuesday/Wednesday trade on the group somewhere for Simon to have brought it up. (Simon, remember to pop me that email on how Chartist's long term portfolio is doing)
