US Natural Gas


Well, the same question as before, how long will it take before a lower low, again?

Q&A: UK Retailers?

MKS:


SBRY:
TSCO:
NXT:MRW:
Current view: Market is in favour of MRK and NXT. MRW has just joined the club after positive earning results.
All are above 200D SMA.
Worth waiting before buy the dip? just before the Sales signs all gone?

Q&A: UK Banks

HSBA:


LLOY:





BARC:





RBS:



Current view:
Market is in favour of BARC then HSBA for their "broad geographic and business diversification".
For all 4 banks, the half year earning results next week might shed lights on questions of loan losses and requirements for further capital raising.



Q&A: Platinum?

PTM (U$)


PHPT.LON (£)



PHPT.MIL (Euro)



Current view: Speculative buy. Will it be easier and cheaper to simply short the U$?

Will 0.88 become resistance? It is yet to be tested. The current view is neutral.

Q&A: Switch from Oil to Gold ?


The breakout in June seemed to be short-lived. The current view is neutral.

Equities: Asia Pacific Ex-China/Japan

EPP (in U$)

Q & A: Switch from EUR to GBP?


How long before the currency cross shows its true colour? No choice but to wait. Patience is a virtue, at least for now.

Q&A: Switch from Oil to Gold

Zoom in a little bit, here's what a 4-week breakout (?) is like. It is yet to be confirmed.

UNG on fire, where's the door, please?


After billions into the fund by June, what a firework once into July! "I'm a Gas man, get me out of here"?

Saturday 4 July 2009

Q&A: Switch from GBP to EUR ?




Still a waiting game ... high time enjoying the summer

Q&A: Switch from Oil to Gold




A breakout? Seemed genuine in the past 3 weeks.



And ? Test the water with tactical adjustment from Oil to Gold first?





Natural Gas Later Rather Than Sooner


The price dropped like a stone.
A loss has been cut...paid the price of a pack of beer. What else more valuable in the heat wave of London ?
Excess shorts mentioned in COT report have won! What's next? What about starting with following @SellPuts ?

Friday 26 June 2009

Q&A: Switch from Sterling to EURO?


It could be more favourable of holding Sterling. if the "sovereign" rights of EURO is cracked under the financial, economical and social stresses within the EU.

Technically, we need to wait and see if EURGBP breaks out or breaks down.

Stay tuned, please.

Q&A: Swith from Oil to Gold?



It's reported the highest saving rate in the US in 15 years and the highest credit card charge off rate ever (10%).

Nouriel Roubini estimates that US savings rate could rise to 10% or more and Nobel prize winning economist Phelps thinks it could take 15 years for households to rebuild their wealth. US and the world is still deflationary.

In order to store wealth, wait for the break out again like last October before the switch from OIL to GOLD.

US Natural Gas now?


If risk avoidance is THE theme in the months to come, then sell the calls bought @$14.80 first before buy more once really bottomed ?

Cut loss once break down or double up if break out.
