Oh What a Night on Wall St overnight -The Market Tacked North on a Dime


1744235009168.png

My father used to say Buy Low and Sell High

I try to do this but as the Trend is my Friend and in the times of a Sea-Change
I also Sell High first and then Buy Low

All hands on Deck at Dawn---
in Quick Time and in Alphabetical order and Cover all our Shorts

I call these SHORTS as we were OWNERS and sold them High and are now buying them back Lower

HOIST the BVS, WTC, APX, MSB,
HOIST the SFR LYC ARU MLX
HOIST the BOE, DYL, BMN, SLX
Also Hoist the EVN a mistake in Selling TOO early i will have to live with ( Better late than never)


NB :probably the Best benefits of owning Stocks is that you can SELL when you learn to trust your Trend Following Technologies

"WEEK-ENDS are for CHAMPIONS" Part 2---" No ONE (1) can Serve Two (2) Masters " said St. Mathew

188386-6e564fcae5f6e2886152a04ba1ba36ea.gif
Not Being a Religious Man I must confess that If I had to make a Choice I would have to Throw a Dart

However When it Comes to to" Sailing the Global Exchange " there is NO Choice between
"Technical verses Fundamental"

As we all know The Fundamentalists have lost this battle Decades ago
Most don't realise to this day that they have been well and truly Hypnotized and Brainwashed

I think it was Jessy Livermore who first Discovered this CONSTRUCT by Brokers ,Investment Analysts, Company Directors, Gangsters , Snake-Oil Salesmen, Media and Influencers

"She'll be Right in the Long Term"
"You Can't go Broke Taking a Profit"
"Spread Risk By INVESTING in a Wide Diverse Range"

We on this Ship are of the " Technical Verses Technical " school of seamanship

I am disappointed to see so many Technical Analysts nowadays try to Reach for Respectability by referring to Fundamental Antics in their commentaries

Surely this must reflect on their Reading

BTW--No Significant Change on our Barometer readings at this time

" It was Quite a Good Evening on Wall St and Many a Main St of the Global Exchange Thursday Night"

Sailing the GLOBAL Heavyweight ETF's ------EOW -------Thursday 17 APR------ in the Deep Waters of Wall St----------One DAY at a Time

Salute and Stay Well
HMAS  Ship of Fools.giftbc Part 3 " All Weather Sailing"

Encore: Please Enjoy this Concert over this Long Week-end....I hope this link works

 
Ahoy Brave and Loyal Crew--

In the Beginning was the DOW Jones Industrial Average
Designed by Capt Chuckie Dow & his First Mate Jonesy as an "All Weather Trousseau of Sail "

Please Enjoy this Exclusive and Exhausting 35 year Voyage on the Dow Jones

DOW 1905.gif

DOW 1910.gif

DOW 1915.gif

DOW 1920.gif


DOW 1925.gif


DOW 1935.gif

As you can Clearly See over the First 35 Years shown above --We must Learn to Sail through Often Prevailing STORMS at SEA

Salute and Stay Well
HMAS  Ship of Fools.giftbc Part 3 "Sailing the S&P 500"
 
Ahoy Brave and Loyal Crew--

To CALM the Volatility of the DJIA Standard & Poors designed the large Spread S&P 500 to Smooth out the Violent Nature of the Storms at Sea

This Worked to a limited effect until the Tech Boom and The Rise of the NASDAQ
The NASDAQ took no Prisoners and SWAMPED both the DOW JONES and The S&P 500
They were forced to Take Onboard the Best of the Techs for No other reason than for PURE SURVIVAL

ie: The OLD Economy merged with the NEW Economy

So much for the Lovers of History

Onto the Current Sea and Weather Conditions

It was a Good but Confusing night o Wall St on Thursday with the OLD Economy Stocks performing Best

Sailing the S&P Magnificent 500 Tall Ships -EOW --------Thur 17 Apr-------in the Deep Waters of Wall St--------One DAY at a Time
1745139460182.png

NB: Both the S&P 500 & the NASDAQ Broke Trend and headed SOUTH on the Mon 24Feb
1745139662535.png


1745139903747.png
Salute and Stay Well
HMAS  Ship of Fools.gif

PS: I feel we have a Good Set of Sails presented to the Wind for these conditions but as we all know
The Yanks can Tack SOUTH on a Dime tomorrow night

GOLD continues on her Parabolic journey NORTH in record breaking speed

The BIG BUCK continues to Plummet further SOUTH in record breaking speed also
1745228311620.png

The CONUNDRURM here is "Who is Actually Winning"

Here Comes Our Little Aussie Battler

The War Mongering Europeans

1745230251005.png
The Once Great British Pound
1745230728584.png

and Even Our Great Mates " The Japs" are letting their Currency rise
1745231001096.png
Seems that My Father was right when he said
"Money just Moves from One Pile of Money to another Pile of Money"

The BIG problem here is NOBODY wants a high Currency including the Yanks
So I would have to say that Trump is Winning ATM IMHO

Salute and Stay Well
