Why did I click on that link

Anyhow... shorting the SPI as a positional play for the next few weeks.

Feels like something's brewing in China.. not sure it'd amount to anything but the iron ore companies have been shot first.

Yep 2014 ya picked the theme I reckon... Forget the tapper.... watch the black swan hit the fan in China.

I think the KFC girl's older sister was watching your "style" from behind the scenes ..... Pity you had to be carted off to Hospital

Ok since I've had a day of floating in the bay and getting somewhat lubricated :alcohol: I've been lazily thinking about this years markets,

US all good internally.... Bears continually calling for the end of this madness and still being wrong. :

Euro slight amount of trouble (outside Germany) and a slow slide into deflationary troubles....

ASX stock traders looking for longer term momentum will again be disappointed :horse:

:fan Will be China's credit problems.... bad debts... shadow banking... Credit squeeze... etc

Gold cracks recent significant lows and heads to $1000 area (this could be soon).

Currencies, AUD smash-a-rama (hopeful I'm very short via an exotic ), JPY wins the race to zero.

Most likely trade will be huge increase in volatility why I'm on long hols, April-May & July-August (just so if I'm right I'll miss it all )

Outside trade... real long shot..... Blues for the flag... And Richie Porte & Cadel Evans go 1,2 in the Giro.

TH,

with all the concerns about China (as you mentioned above) are you concerned at all about the Yuan getting creamed and having your trading profits eroded? From memory I thought you said you keep all your profits in Yuan?

NB: I know nothing about the Yuan (Do they peg it to the USD?) nor your trading!

Its kinda liked to the US, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renminbi#Value. And the Yuan normally refers to their old money. Current currency is the Renminbi

And my profits are in Honker $'s. Which are linked to the USD. So its likely to go up significantly if they run into trouble.

 

[kid hustlr]

jeez they don't make it easy do they.

Either way sounds like you are ok and quietly hoping for a disaster (and a fat year..)

I am going to be away around late April/early May as well... so that HAS to be when the volatility starts.

Looks like the Wall Street boyz are back from their holidays...errr... vacation!.
I didn't expect such price action occurring this early in the new year.
I have a gut feeling that this is a precursor to an action packed 2014.
My strategy is to stay nibble...taking profits as they occur
