Flatlined…

 

 

What a year that was … or should I say “ what a year it was not”?

 

For me it was a year when I took hiatus from the active trading, revalued a lot of things I previously thought were important, started new business ( turned out to be a lot of fun, but not enough money), forgot that I had website to take care of and a lot of other things I really wanted to do, but kept postponing … like learning to fly a plane…yeah – I do have my Bucket’s List already.

 

For the Miss Market – she just ended flat on her back in missionary position – for someone who did not day trade in 2011 (I did NOT ) – it sure looks boring as hell.

 

 

Even though I have not been actively trading and posting on blog, I did manage to make some money by going long on the dollar and dumping all my precious metals holdings ( I sure am happy watching silver now ) based on monthly TDSequential BUY back in June 2011 for /DX

 

I don’t normally make New Year resolutions, but I think I might get more active with trading in 2012 – see you then!

 

Merry Christmas!

Best wishes, joy and health to you and your families!

Oh, and Keirsten dropped a tweet – she is live and well and sends regards to all old timers!

Happy Hannukah!

To all our friends and relatives

We wish a happy Hannukah

Let your festival of  hannukah  candle lights

lead to a great celebration of  life

 

 

 

 

P.S.  Just returned from month long Venezuela vacation – regular post will resume … yup – some people do try to have life!

Ain’t that a Biatch!

Lets take a broad look … well … speaking of broads – I am really concerned with magnification of American Women – huge piles of redundant protoplasm wondering around shopping and eating … no Viagra will fix it for me [ Thank you George Carlin] and to talk about something a little more pleasant – here is a monthly chart of SPX.

Cute Ab-cd on wave B up monthly, don’t you think so?

 

Amazing that we just might be in huge C down wave (A.K.A. “P3” AKA “Pee On the Tree” – local joke indeed – hope that guy still collects money from idiots subs – he can definitely NOT make any cabbage trading himself )

 

Oh boy … going down on 9, sadly famous ‘9‘ combined with Combo ‘13’ – don’t you all hate that number? Unless you bet on pass line or just accidentally survived bear … which I am both and I am feeling good since April! And I am certainly not going placing any long trades unless we break April 2011 highs!

 

 

 

Definitely not day trading, but position trades do work – hourly is looking gooood!

 

 

Short again

On Monday, according to the plan outlined on October 16th (see post) I went short around 1250+ area SPX.

Seams to be a good spot with defined stops above TDRL and if prior lows will be penetrated on the upside ( red arrow)

 

I’ve been thinking a lot lately … about this "blogging thing” – I really need to find a good reason to keep this place running. I am not as actively or as often trading as before and to write about something that is quite secondary for me now is not as much fun as it once was…

Can not leave you kids alone!

Momentarily you let market pumpers take control and run away with our money!

 

I am back in ole’ good USofA and ready to go short again (I was stopped out of trailing AAPL long puts practically the day I left for Europe) – with very tight stops at prior TDST lines on daily charts for QQQ (probably activated only at the end of the day – there might be too much jitter intraday)

 

and 1254 area as a stop for S&P500

 

 

Meanwhile to entertain you I will be posting fabulous pictures of my favorite cities of Europe I visited during last 3 weeks – there is a lot to see and admire. (Though my 22 years old mandatory for midlife crisis girlfriend did not like these pictures for some reason)

 

Homework – try to find fat (pardon me - “sick” or "with “eating disorder” or “shot metabolism” or “food processing disadvantageous” or “with diminished digesting capacities”) people on these pictures.

 

And – for people less geographically challenged than myself – what city is that?

Back in the USSA

How happy we are …

 

Gold corrected back into the long term channel/pitchfork and bounced off Setup Buy 9 (Mass media was ecstatic: “Gold ended biggest few days drop since 1982” … yeah … OK…)

 

Monthly is a SELL, weekly is a SELL – oh WELL

 

Widow maker AKA Natural Gas is a LONG in my books (posted few weeks back on DISQUS that “I am getting strangely attracted once more  )

Weekly BUY and daily ( welcome to the world of my hallucinogenic charts ) looks like a good risk/reward

 

AAPL (which I declared temporary shortable) and AMZN were red on the green day … ...Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Tales from the dark side … well, wait, I forgot – we take no sides at all….except for the Dark Side – do we?  (from today’s Disqus threads )

  >>> ...they are way too logical to become rich! <<<<
  Now you know why you had to chew me out before I got religion. LOL.
  When I start my guru seminars, the first thing I will do is say: "All engineer, physicist, mathematician types, please separate yourselves to my right". Then I will look them in the eye and tell them: "In this room, you are the most likely to fail at trading. Once we are done here, the first thing you need to do is learn how to react instead of analyze. It does not friggin' matter why the market is going up. If you see it going up, and your analysis says that it is impossible, stop trying to find out why the market is not behaving according to what you think, and just get out. You can do your analysis after you are flat. Until you learn to suspend your logic, you can expect to be making other illogical traders rich while you go broke swearing at the screen."

 

And now – if market does not make you wish you were … not on the market – try to get through my accent!!!!

 

 

 

UPDATE   2PM EST September 23rd

 

Forget indexes … or waking up to an individual stock trade ( AAPL )

My comatose state of mind while market is searching for direction after completion of full 1-5 A-C wave was interrupted by today’s Brandt’s post … something about shorting some POS stock … I think name was some fruit “Peach”?  “Shnaple”? “apple”?

 

“Forrest Gump went to his mailbox and opened a letter. In the narration voiced by Tom Hanks, Forrest states that Lt. Dan invested in “some fruit company” and that he didn’t have to worry about money anymore. Forrest says “Well that’s good. One less thing to worry about.”

 

(AAPL) that was – and, quite interestingly Brandt’s observations were quite in line with what DeMark-ian woo-doo tells us – TD Setup Sell 9 on daily.

 

 

But, of course that was not the only reason why I grabbed few long (AAPL) puts – take a look at (QQQ) daily and tell me if it is not looking like huge rounding top – could we get so lucky and jump in on the short side of tech heavy NASDAQ for wave C down?

 

 

As it was mentioned on DISQUS (YES – I AM watching you kids!) DeMark was working quite admirably as of late – let see if it lives up to its reputation now!

10 years…hard to believe

 

I will refrain from my usual pseudo – political mumbling this year and will just say

 

To all my friends who meaninglessly

lost their lives in the flames of WTC -

you are remembered, you are forever

in my heart...

 

Do people even remember that day?  DO they understand WHAT happened that day?

Did that day really “defined us as a nation”? (That is a usual cliché of main stream media)  As a nation capable to stand up and say “Stop diminish its own people!”?

Do “they” even care?

 

Sorry – I really tried to keep my mouth shut…

 

I’d like to finish this sad post wit Gold Gerb’s post from Disqus (Hope he would not mind)

a few weeks ago, I was thinking about Sampson and the pillars.
Then I thought of the Towers.
"Judges 16:26-30 And Samson said to the young man who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them.” 27 Now the house was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about 3,000 men and women, who looked on while Samson entertained. 28 Then Samson called to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes.” 29 And Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and he leaned his weight against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other. 30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he bowed with all his strength, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he had killed during his life."
Was the falling of the towers symbolic of the end of strong man? a strong nation?
Was America seduced as Sampson? to reveal it's source of strength?
and what was the source of that strength?
May that terrible day, not be in vain.
