Headlines at CNN "FBI Moving Markets"

DJIA futs up 1.3%. Will get a few days out of this run before it gets smashed down.
 
Better look for tsunamis rather than trying to catch small waves.
Almost amusing on a personal level Uncle Garps ...

I lost quite a bit of moola about 2 weeks ago thinking I could pick the short term top in the Index Futs (I ended up being close to be fair)

If I had been able to hold that position which I eventually closed (in pain ),

I could have had a week's holiday on the Gold Coast with my wife on the profits! lol ....

No real message in my post ... It's my birthday ... I'm old and reminiscing.
 
A very Happy Birthday and many more of them @barney . Uncomfortable reading, although I don't trade futures, I've been there, done that on stock trading.

I am currently going to cash and term deposits on a significant percentage of my SMSF. I may be proved wrong and miss out on a large move up, and it is painful to liquidate some of my "losers" who may be about to turn in to clearer waters.

Accounts such as yours makes me happy I post on ASF, and makes me realise I'm not alone.

Thanks @Garpal Gumnut and @divs4ever Always appreciate both your quality input on ASF

As for the birthday ... I am officially an old b@stard .. and trying to forget birthdays, lol!

is 70 old ?? i will be getting there soon

but my father always told me i should never be offended by being called a b@stard , however i still prefer lucky
 
For the first time in a long time my SMSF account is a sea of Green with the only laggard being ORG.

It would appear the Santa rally is on, all vehicles fuelled, horses fed and watered, helmets on, girlfriends stopped arguing and off we go for Christmas. ( Wouldn't it be good to be young again ).

Whoopee.

gg
 
young again ??

maybe not , even if i had the accumulated wisdom of the last 50 years , since my last early adult hood , i made some mistakes sure , but also took some pivotal decisions , that are unlikely to happen again ( in the next 50 years )

the hobbies i substituted for girlfriends are all politically-corrupted messes ( there is hardly a sport left i can even bear to watch for 3 minutes , to alone participate in )

Santa Rally ?? not yet , i think a little more profit-taking and confidence-shaking , but soon ... maybe it will start next week

but good luck
 
The red is back. I'm just in the positive. Funny how it goes, up and down, up and down, up an......................................

gg
one portfolio is in positive , and one in negative territory , but then i hold a lot of stocks that are less popular ( outside the TOP 50 )

and it is not unusual for me to be completely opposite to the day's market
