Topi running streak...

Topi running streak... Top 40 index futures has had 18 up days and 6 down days in the current running streak since the 24/7/2012 - and has climbed from 29527 (24/7/2012) to 31600 (28/07/2012). Question is how how far are the bulls going to run until they run out of steam? Or will Ben give them more steroids this coming week... The bears are still alive!

ja quite pathetic if u think about it in 18 days all they have done is 2000 points....no wonder some that try and trade the long side on a daily basis are complaining...I have always said that the points will be given up in less than half the time it took to put them on...look where the impulsive moves come from..and you will have the clue as to which is the right side to trade for good day trades....100 grinding excrusciating points or a 400 point elevator to the bottom?

ah Rams I can see u know absolutely nothing when it comes to being a good trader...ironically studies show that children are far better traders than adults...they have open minds...no preconceived ideas or expectations....and they are highly responsive to a changing environment..when they lose they bail...we could all be more childlike when it comes to trading...unfortunatley you are just childish....and once again I can see you are a victim of the non trading world conventional wisdom...

But once again I thank you ...you are a seemingly infinite fountain of ideas for when I sit down to do my daily videos....I think todays title will be "BE CHILDLIKE NOT CHILDISH"

bears unlike bulls who have to graze on little morsels constantly with their head hovering just above the ground...feed infequently but when they do they eat enough for several days even weeks...gives them time to do other inetersting exciting things....

No, becos , I am trying to count short, but it seems I am counting long. anyway, I see todays business report has Colin Abrahams, count to 37000 on the JSE All share ....and advises the public to buy the pullbacks...it's just his view and when he calls wrong, he just says so and moves on...Now what's your view again about the ALSI

good question....a failure to reach it? taking out previous highs would cause a serious relook...but it is common for markets to take out previous highs by say 5% and fall back severely....the dow and S&P putting in new highs would cause a relook.... but so far no reason whatsoever to change outlook...

that doent mean will will not be going long when the opportunity presents itself in the interim...but longer term the outlook is 29400. My longer term portfolio is fully hedged by short futures positons untill we get there.
