"Death of equities" hits the property market!

Thanks for the link Timmy, looks like an interesting blog

looks like an interesting blog

It is, and it is useful if you find threads like this one (using headlines etc. to highlight the consensus sentiment) interesting, he posts up magazine covers etc. a few times a month.

Used these pics elsewhere and thought I would add them to this thread too.

Perma-bears are (finally) getting their time in the sun at the moment, their consensus views even getting onto the front page of the tell-em-what-they-want-to-hear media:

First up, the SMH:

To be honest I think media headlines and commentary has little effect on the market, it's all relative. Behind closed doors is where a stock's price is determined not on a front page.

Big thank-you to the Fairfax sub-editor for reflecting the over-the-top fears out there in doomer-land. The S&P500 (and also the ES, my trading vehicle) has had something of a record-setting week, up more than 0.75% each individual day, only the eighth time in the index history it has done this.

Total move up over 5% for the week.

Not a bad move to trade (but only if you have the 'we all know the US is doomed' blinkers off, and others).

2*1 P&F chart attached, and also a daily S&P:



Good trading.

The article is more circumspect than the magazine cover.
