It’s been a while since we’ve covered equities exclusively and as the month is coming to an end this is as good an opportunity to catch up. As you all know I have been dangling the ‘late stage bull market’ carrot for a few weeks now and quite frankly I don’t see any reason to change that outlook. I have been very adamant about expecting a final exhaustion spike higher and believe that is already in the works. Now before you start piling into puts be aware that we may be weeks, perhaps even months away from a downside event. So hold your horses and for now just enjoy the charts in preparation for where we heading most likely later this year. Enough weasel [...]
I already mentioned this morning that I was having a very good day for various reasons. The one I left out was that I was working on something pretty exciting and was getting ready to make an announcement today. In essence my goal has been to extend Thor with a system that takes advantage of strongly trending tape. Thor does like trending tape but it’s not exactly what you would call a trend trading system as it takes advantage of pull backs. Which is why Thor didn’t catch the big moves on the EUR or crude in the past quarter.

Oh, and I almost forgot – the EUR/USD just fell off the plate – heheheheeee. Love and money is in the air!
The spoos are flailing sideways below that NLBL at 2114.5 – isn’t it nice how those serve as support/resistance over and over again? Which is why I use them religiously for my discretionary trading. Anyway, I’ll be long above the Net-Line with a stop below 2112. [...]
If you’re still paying attention to the respective musings of Mrs. Yellen or Mr. Draghi then you only have yourself to blame. The verbal diarrhea coming out of both camps these days is not only recursively contradicting but also lacks any real meaning as every sentence uttered has been carefully vetted to feature relativizing adjectives galore. Ambiguity and sophism reigns the day, which means any attempts of interpretation or extraction of meaning are doomed to fail. So don’t bother – just fade the noise and ride the tape.
That’s right – it’s a club and we’re not invited. However as much as I love and miss George Carlin I [...]
