[peanuts]

NM short, please and thank you

The reason for my short was a rumor yesterday. This morning, I find it to be true: LINK

I think that the shippers will be in the dirt by the end of this week, but I still may exit early if I find another good opportunity.

Rumor mills are running strong... market seems to be trading less on fundamentals and more on fear The VIX should be taking off again

[Odysseus]

Welcome back Bat ! I put up a post a while back wonderin' where you'ld gone off to. Hope all is well on your end

Going to try ENER short this week. Still applying my Psar pattern identification... great for short runs but not so good for weekly trades.

Good luck all !

Ody, glad to be back and thanks for thinking about me. We are finally on the right track to getting things healed. The wife had a lot of problems and I was still recouping but later we are doing pretty good. Hopefully we will have a healthy wealthy year for all.

switcheroo

Please cover NM

Go long UUP. Thank you!

I'm going to go against a long term trade concept that I have and actually buy the US Dollar. It has been forming a triangle for 1 month now after breaking through a resistance line. The chart of the $USD does not reflect a move up, yet, but looking at the chart of UUP, it seems that traders are positioning themselves for a breakout from the triangle to the upside:

Welcome back, Bat... good to hear things are improving.

[Odysseus]

Spikefader does it again, his 4th time coming in first for the year ! Can't overlook Peanuts either, as this is his 4th time placing as well ! Congrats to you both ! Peter Hansen comes in third for his second placing of the year with IAG, well done !

Tough week for everyone, but if you came out green you were doing good. Question is now will the market continue south to test new lows, or continue it's ranging up and down into the 8k's and back to the 7k's..... time will tell. Good luck all !

TSYS long.

Not in love with this potential trade, Peanuts. But then again, I'm not married to it, either.

Looking for USD to pullback, myself.

jejejeje... up nicely today. Traders moved in when I said, but when will they move out? Are they making a home, or just squating?

yeah, long term, I don't think too many countries will continue to think of it as the world reserve currency... something else may take its place
