Thought I found it on your site but I was wrong (it was a different one from Jan. '09 I think) and didn't want to inundate you with comments about how i made a mistake- sorry about that.
Hey, great tweet/twit whatever it is about the last hour of trading! Glad I kept my NZD short in play.

SPECULATOR, fair enough

MIKESTILLER, will do.. the fact that gold remained frozen at $915 on friday was quite strange but i dont want to get into conspiracies etcc.

JJstone, and the FInancials/technology are also just at their 200-day MA

Serg, even if today's risk aversion is temporayr, good oppportunity to buy JPY and USD. the signal was obtained earlier when Nikkei rose marginally higher despite big Friday gains in US. the ensuing retreat in Europe was a great greenlight for buying JPY and USD against EUR, CAD, GBP.

Hi Ashraf,
do you think there is a possibility of DOW going down a bit on profit taking and that may lead to further downside onse fear takes over recent bullishness (mostly driven by irrational feeling of being left out of action)

Per your twitter gold post. I tend to believe gold has been manipulated for years and continues to be manipulated (more so the last week or so). I think there is a large overseas buyer (could be foreign like China, Russia, etc). The fact that the seller cannot force it lower is a testament to how bid the product is. You mentioned GS and JPM last week as large call buyers, I'm guessing they have over lent gold and need to cover themselves via calls. Take a read of my gold post on my blog when you have a chance. Thanks for the great work.http://sensicalgibberish.blogspot.com/2009/05/worth-its-weight-in-gold.html

guys i am a financial advisor but a realstic one with solid economics/finance background and yes most financial advisors have little clue about financial markets. Financial advisors tend to ignore market timing as we only look at 5 years plus and just match the clients risk to a suitable solution.

im currently long usd at 1.46 and decided not to sell at 1.42 back in april as i thought things could only get worse in equities. fortunately i dont use derivatives or trading platforms.

i guess its a matter of patience and this pathetic confused equity market is bound to sober up soon.

even if equities go sideways for a while cable should fall marginally.

PK, Those financial advisors you mention are the same ones who said this was just a short term correction in summer 07, fall 07, summer 08 and most famously, that the bottom had been reached in Nov 08. Please go to my twitter site and read some of the articles I link. Bear market rallies have gone as far as 40% back in the Depression.

Taha, will test $1.5350 before retreating towards $1.45
