buried in rubble after a skyquake

LOL....

skyhawks call for that significant bottom must be able to be explained away by something. Might as well be a quake....

Re: XAO Analysis

Now I often wonder what happened to the great theory of decoupling

Anyway, today we might have a controlled panic, with an uncontrolled panic on Friday. Thursdays, I don't think are renowned for capitulation. Septembers and Fridays make a deadly combination.

That's an economic theory...not necessarily share market based.

Don't think that will change the fact that the XAO is toast today.

This is weird. Last futures trade was down 153 points - more than 3%

But every ASX200 share I look at, the pre-open price is set to skyrocket, and there are far more buyers than sellers.

Some fantastic news released between 7am and now?

Toast - but which side is getting burned, the longs or the shorts?

Ah, so you think that a lot of people were speculatively "picking bottom" and now when it was clear the US didn't behave, they'll pull?

This far out from start of trade, I'll believe that.

Too bad if a few of them couldn't get to work today to cancel their orders

Re: XAO Analysis

Its Futures expiry Sunder you will have the Arbs crossing hands on three months worth of work. It means nothing.

Certainly not anything in a directional bet sense.

My turn to ask you to explain something

What is the effect of futures contract expiry on the market? I've never really looked into futures trading.

Re: XAO Analysis

You have three month of arbitrage and hedges buying/selling the Futures and doing the opposite with stocks. What they are trying to do is not place directional bets but rather take profit between the two mispriced instruments.

Come expiry when you have to deliver the product or cash or roll into the next contract stock prices have realigned. So mostly the trades are unwound.

You will see huge volume. Everyone gets excited about it but they mean nothing in terms of a directional bet. Same thing kinda happens with options expiry next week.

You can get stocks pinning to certain strikes as MM's flip stock back and forth to hedge delta. But no directional connotations

Re: XAO Analysis

ouch, it's a bloodbath, 160 points down!

The next fib support level from 2003 - 2007 is at 4300.

OMG!!!

Re: XAO Analysis

I took my 76% gain on my shorts and ran.

My feel is that it's got a bit more to go, but I'm not willing to risk my gains to try to chase the last few percent. I'm not a greedy man, after all 76% in less than a week should be a good return for anyone!

Carnage.

I agree that range 4275/4300 is the next Fib support. It is also where we have the high of 20/06/05 and the low of 21/10/05

Re: XAO Analysis

Still early days but it seems fairly tame in comparison to Jan 22nd when we dropped more than 400 pts.

Yeah I think the shorts may have a hard time holding this down today.

Just just 4599.2 XAO down 170.5

Sunder what point is quoting return on margin

I have a Futures account a CFD account and a Cash account.

I can make exactly the same trade and get the following results,

Shares 0.2%
Futs 3.8%
CFD 43%

Which one is the best trade? Only thing that's worth quoting is points NOT ROM.
