BTTB please do not build on the plot we need more plants to make oxygen.The trend is your friend.The markets move in large waves with smaller ones between, usually 4 to 5 days ,unless strong moves, then 2 to 3 days.Markets seems to be making a series of lower tops,could indicate more downside to come.

From Jozi, married for 32 years, one child (Martin) who now lives is England because of all the crime here. I prefer to keep a low profile and trade long and short mainly taking small profits per day. Have been very lucky over the last few months trading the flow. The exception being Merafe where I have made big bucks by staying in the trade for a few monts, both long and short.

I am an SAP consultant in JHB. Been in and out the market for about 6 years , still learning and paying my school fees. Done well on some "lucky" picks and done bad on some. Right now I am looking at how to recover all of the last years profits which got wiped out in the last month. Got burnt by SSFs on SIM and MTX and a few others.
