Apple revisited
Last July I was keen to short Apple from around $170, after falling to around $100 it has staged a tremendous rally – will it fail at $200 at second time…See Short Sale Watch section in blog for original posts. ...
Fall
The much followed volatility index ($VIX) or “fear gauge” is still falling indicating increasing complacency in the markets. Usefully Proshares offer QID an ultrashort product that fairly well correlates to $VIX which can only be traded...
VW boxed in, Hedge funds nowhere to run
VW briefly becomes the worlds largest capitalised company. Hedge funds were shorting the trading range 200-400, and were buying in at 200, with good profits - when there were no sellers to be found. Porsche had effectively gained control of 74% o...
Apple meets target $100
Commodities are really looking like further to fall now, so watching for now and trying to spot and short opportunities, though markets a bit volatile to properly trade, for me at least. ...
Amazon short
Thursday was a bearish day, and the last hour of trading on bearish days tend, I have noticed to have the biggest declines of the day. So, I had a go at a quick short sale on Amazon that I’ve been watching for a while. I began selling at ten...
“Speculation as a fine art”
“I have done my share of trading and have kept fairly well posted on the stock market for many years and I can say that I do not recall an instance when a bear raid caused a stock to decline extensively. What was called bear raiding was nothing...

Extra-ordinary selloff
Silver and gold stocks getting battered again today, SSRI down 16%, on the day - the biggest one day fall I can remember, possibly if ever in this stock, holders will be in need of its namesake. This is beginning to look overdone. I am not feelin...
Apple short sale
Apple I noticed has cracked under the 50ma on volume, signalling further likely downside. While Amazon 50dma stubbornly refuses to rise over the 200dma. I am so certain of big breaks in these stocks soon....
Commodity breakfast
Big sell off across the board today - silver under $17, softs down and cotton at 67, coffee 136, gold under $900. The Gold Bugs index is under 380 - and Silver Wheaton a great silver stock at $11.50-$11.70. Just about all down - except lumber, live...
Friday massive, back up the truck
Interesting day and week really in the markets, bear rally continues in main indices. I am reviewing short opps in internet stock Amazon and long commodities - the softs. On the commodities first - set the background - oil chart since 2000. Well, t...
Apple update
Now is dangerous time to short - its all too clear from charts - best wait to when rally over/up to 50dma which will be around 175 by my reckoning - if it fails and breaks here - still it would be better to wait until a rally over 50dma to prevent ge...
Chump change
Well, this is the first weekly update starting this week and will have a few nice sections to help me keep track of market activity without getting too close to the market action. Firstly, Apple has indeed turned lower, see 50 day ma, and Fridays act...
Shooting star?
I have been looking closely at the Apple chart on the daily and weekly basis. It is certainly a risky place to enter a short sale - is there any other? - with the trend still showing as up. However, the main market averages are looking still very w...
