There is some seriously good "twoing and froing" on this thread, but the most important question is;..............why did you get rid of the 'Bear" wayne .........was he costing you too much to feed??..............(I miss the bear :bounce:
LOL, he's hiding in his cave conserving energy.

He WILL reappear

Will he awaken :sleeping: in October?

Always an interesting month.

Who remembers '87?

The bear has moved to a property forum...
I can confirm that is true. Plenty of bears on property forums, at least two of which are also on ASF (though the Smurf bear is specifically a property bear rather than a general purpose bear).

Good!

Now we've got that out of the way, we can go ahead and tank. LOL
Here's hoping we that we do!

I've gone short some NAB CFDs at about $36.30 as I'm anticipating falls in the Dow which should see some selling of the banks. I'm also long CML and even if the broader market falls, I don't see CML falling below $14. I got in at $14.23 and am banking on an offer above $15.50.

What to you think wayne? Do you see the Dow marching on (it's already up about 50 points as I type) or do you see some falls in the next few days?

Thanks,
scsl
 

The way i see it, ST to MT it will be up, before the crash, so atleast 12 months of up imo, DOW 11300, XAO 6000

thx

Yeah the US is firmly in Goldilocks mode.

This is a country that believes its own rhetoric in the face of all evidence to the contrary. They will prop it up till it pops big time.

Yes and when they could not sell the original green coke they changed it to black.
Many years left in the US and I previously did not think so.
I don't know if leopards can really change their spots.
But I do know that bears become bulls.

Of course! That is the whole point of being a bear!

Bears just want restoration of fair value... thats all!

errrr...well maybe just a bit less than fair value
 
Well BHP up 3%, RIO up 3.3%, and Rinker up 2%.

Maybe we are in for a proper commodities boom, the last rise was merely the calm before the storm!!

ASX should soar today as well!

Gold, Silver, and Energies up smartly (the fear commodities)... Cu, Al not so much, so wouldn't get too carried away. Nevertheless BHP et al will benefit.

Been stepping into Gold and silver in small chunks via ETFs over the last few days, but plonked on oil futures tonight.... so I'm mingling with the commodity bulls atm... I wouldn't be surprised to see a convenient terrorist attack before the Evil Empire mid term elections.

The way i see it, DOW will see 12,000+ by the end of the year. Its due for a good rally, last year it underformed other global equity markets big time, pretty much ending flat from where it started.

Once the DOW closes above 11,722 which will be an all-time high, TA says it willl rally into blue skies.

As for XJO/XAO, we really like higher oil prices. Our correlation to the US markets is rather poor.
Last year DOW ~0%, XAO ~17%.

This year they have outperformed us
 
Things are a bit better for me so far today, with most longs being up (none are actually down) and one of my shorts being down (the underlying that is).

The other short is up a bit, but not strongly and slipping as I watch. I'll keep a close eye on that one though.
