Dancing close to the door

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

It’s been a bit of a bumpy ride these last few weeks and there are many mixed signals around. Thus, we are trying to hold our opinions rather loosely and stay willing to change our minds whenever new evidence emerges that might contradict our views. Dancing close to the door is what we are constantly reminding ourselves of, as we might have to bail on some of our ideas rather quickly if our views turn out to be wrong. That said, let’s look at some trade ideas.

Staying flexible

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

Staying flexible in your views and convictions is a vital skill if you plan to survive in markets for a long time. At the end of the day, being right or wrong hardly matters. Being able to change your mind when you are wrong and remain convicted when you are right is really the only skill that deserves to be trained.

Time to wobble

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

The market has remained persistently strong. Relatively at least… U.S. markets are slightly higher, but locally markets are slightly lower. So, no real fireworks just yet. Perhaps the momentum finally shifts down, and we see the market come off a little? Particularly in the over-hyped tech sector. Let’s look at some charts and get a better idea of why we’re thinking what we’re thinking.

Kansas City Shuffle

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

One of the more important lessons we’ve learned from participating in markets for the last almost two decades is that the Kansas City Shuffle is very often a very reliable move. What are we talking about you ask? Well, when everyone is looking right, go left. Still, what are we talking about? In a nutshell, the market has become very bullish, despite the enormous amounts of negative economic data and overall headwinds.

It’s buy time!

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

Once again, we come to you with charts that are bullish in an economic landscape that is everything but. Like we’ve said many times though, our job as traders is to follow the market and take the opportunities it presents to us, not to ‘make sense of it all’. So, while we could ramble on about all the various macro headwinds like U.S. government and student debt, stressed liquidity and bank balance sheets, looming recession and so many other factors that cause worry, we will not. Instead, we will simply quote Jesse Livermore for the millionth time and say ‘a bull market climbs a wall of worry’. It’s buy time!

To squeeze or not to squeeze

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

Last week we saw a bit of a squeeze from most global markets while China takes a break for Lunar New Year. We expect much the same this week, although in the second half fortunes could change as U.S. data and the FOMC interest rate decision could turn the tide. So, to squeeze or not to squeeze… that is the question?

Nothing but shorts

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

Well, another very difficult week is behind us and to be honest we think there are many more difficult weeks ahead over the next few months. The realities of a global recession are starting to ‘hit home’ so to speak and global equity markets are not happy. Although we are seeing nothing but shorts in the shorter-term, we do think the most important message to get across in difficult times such as these is two-fold:

Welcome to winter

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

Ok, ok, spring just started here in South Africa… but in the northern hemisphere winter is fast approaching and looking at all the charts, economic indicators and just general happenings in the conflict with Russia… let’s just say that things are looking pretty dire. Welcome to winter northern hemisphere, I hope you are ready for a cold one.

Independence day!

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

It’s the 4th of July on Monday and the day that the US celebrates independence day! Which means two things… the US markets are closed (and it will be a bit of a rudderless day for us on Monday) and that we can probably show you the most accurate picture of how markets have been trading so far this year.

Don’t be a hero

Leave a Comment / Weekly game plan / Petri

Wowzers! What a week that was. I’ll keep the post brief this week as there really isn’t much in the way of positivity on my radar, so the overall message is really just trade small, be careful, stick to stop losses or maybe just take the next few weeks off. Don’t be a hero in this market. So many people are trying to catch the bounce and ‘use this volatility to make the big bucks’, but trust me, for every 10 that enter, 1 will leave. So best stay out of the market until the culling is over. That said, many charts are in the weekly timeframe this week as some longer-term perspective is often helpful.
