International markets traders banter

What extraordinary action on the Seng yesterday. Did anyone trade it? I played most of the gap fill then took the day off thinking it would just flop around or drift back up towards the open. When I got back I couldn't believe it had ran another 400 friggin points down and blown support to bits!!


Was a nice day on the bay though
 
What's this ?!!

Do you really expect us to believe that you weren't the orchestrator of that plunge?

Could it be that there's another trembler in the works?

Personally I prefer to avail myself of the DAX for my daily dosage of self flagellation.
 

Well I didn't trade it and I regreted looking at it all afternoon, thinking that it will drag the ASX down with it. It didn't and I wasted all my beautifully positioned longs opened early in the morning.

You can't win them all My mind is no longer on the market either so it can go another 500 pts and I wouldn't know it.
 
After the fed announcement and subsequent rally in US was expecting positive day. Played fade and lost, gave up. Was amazed but that's your HSI, always serving surprises one way or another. Apparently something to do with a spike in short term interest rates in China when rest of the world was pointing up not to mention technical support, even the chart looked like it wanted to rally. What a lesson. You can never be prepared enough it will do complete opposite. Grrrrrr...@#$%^&*
 
Boy oh Boy its not much diff today. I, for once... wish it would slow down so I could walk away and have a :alcohol: or 10

I have written more about tapering before. Without studying coming opportunities markets players including some analysts globally in all types of markets spent lot of time on tapering. Tapering will benefit some industries in all types of economies. Even some commodity companies will benefit. There will be some upside for USD in 2014. 2015 will be year of the dollar. Because some over valued currencies may tumble against USD in 2015 when we see next currency cycle. We may see some volatility in 2014. Currencies such as NZD and AUD are more vulnerable now. Yesterday not only US market other markets including few frontier markets under my radar also went up. Despite tapering or not we may see shift in markets, commodities, currencies sooner than later. This is the time to rotate stocks, commodities, markets, sectors and identify next great opportunities in global markets. We may see bull markets in some countries even in 2014 and 2015.

My ideas are not a recommendation to either buy or sell any security,commodity or currency. Please do your own research prior to making any investment decisions.
 
DOW, S&P 500, S&P/ASX 200 and Nikkei 225 will touch 16500, 1850, 5400 and 16300 sooner that later.

If markets develop into bubble scenario we may have another financial crisis worst than 2007. As you can guess, a “melt-up” could lead to a “melt-down,” as happened in the past. There may be some volatility in 2014 still global stocks will give higher return for those who did home work. Asian and European stocks did not perform well when compare with U.S. stocks in 2013, with the notable exception of Japan. It is time to identify next winning markets, sectors, stocks, commodities, currencies and other assets globally. We may have correction in overvalued stock markets in 2014. Long term players may have another opportunity in 2014 and 2015. Bull will continue in undervalued global stocks markets in 2014. Remember intelligent investors will identify opportunities in all types of markets such as developed, emerging and frontier markets. They outperformed others in all types of markets in 2013. They will do it in 2014 as well. In the currency market USD will outperform other currencies such as NZD and AUD in 2014 and 2015. More than USA stocks USD dollar is damp cheap now. In commodity market Gold, corn and soya bean will go down further in 2014.

Tapering is good for Asian export companies. For example yesterday Toyota, the world’s biggest car maker, appreciated 3.3 percent in Tokyo. Most commodities will still do well such as meat, milk, iron ore etc as the world economy improves.

The big debate among some market players is whether international markets will have bull market in 2014.

Global markets are down. Some markets such as Nikkei225, New Zealand 50 gross index and Karachi KSE100 are up. Both Vietnam VN-index and Sri-Lanka All share index are flat. So far European stocks are little changed and it is look like they are going to have their day today. In the commodity market gold, Sliver, copper and zinc are up. Very interesting. Is this something to worry about?

Canadian stock market came down on Friday. Hong Kong stock market slumped more than 2%. Not a good day for energy sector especially for oil. Cattle futures rose. It was nice day for Gold and sliver. Ag markets mixed on Friday morning. Some markets, sectors stocks and commodities are resilient globally. It could be different picture next week. Have a great week!
