Dear readers, the PCratio ( total) shows the curling of the pink oscillator up, which is even more cautionary than yesterdays configuration. Equity part is not yet doing that, but It culd be coming. In any case, market needs to prove that it is not scared and rally in the face of this to prove that there is nothing to worry about.

Dear Boris,
I still have a lot to learn. Anyways I will try to maintain my subscription so as to have a feel for how you trade. So far I have only seen the long term bullish trades so i need to see the long-term bearish trades too so that I will know how to recognize the difference in attitude of tradings. The reason is that from my limited observation of the markets, bullish trade takes a while to get going while bearish trades are quick and brutal - thus the whipsawing.
Anyways I will remembered your words about leaving the emotional and social part of me in the closet when I setup a trade.
Thanks all,
Michael
Dear Michael,
As you know My Very Dear Friend. We are Asset allocators. In some sense, we do not know and care about bullish or bearish markets. To the extent that we are looking at the GOLD/OIL ratio or SPX/GOLD ratio, we do not really care too much if either one of them is in the bull or bear market. We are in some , simplified sense, a pair traders.
Think of it this way, if we think GOLD is undervalued visavis the SPX we just will buy more gold with the money we god buy selling SPX.
I hope this is clear. You Know very well, that we do not short any market. We just move the money from one to anohter. So, Yes, by all means, one needs to be aware of BEAR/BULL markets in a given asset. Of course that pretty much means measuring GOLD in Dollars and SPX in Dollars and arriving at conclusions if we are in the bull or bear market. We are devoid from that thinking, but more important for us is this issue...
How is GOld Related To SPX
HOW IS GOLD related to OIL
HOW IS Natgas Realated to OIL
HOW IS GBP related to EURO.
THese are the qustions that occumpy us more than, the question , if we are in bull market now in stocks or not.
So, what is important in that sort of operation.
Believe me not much, but the Patterns we follow, like the Dolla/EURO projection or Dollar/RUPEE projection( which our Dear Indian subscribers got) or the DOLLR/CAD projection ( which our canadian subscribers got).
So, in essense, we just look at those projections and let them tell us how ONE SECURITY is related to SECURITY TWO and go from there.
To conclude , our sense bullish/bearish is a relative one and sometimes our action may not be clear when looking at DOLLR/XXX securities it maybe clearer when looking at XXX/YYY. Like we may have sold stocks and bought gold and it was not a statment about gold or stocks market against dollar, but it was only a statment about GOLD market verusu the STOCK market.
Thanks My Dear Friend for giving me an opportunity to explain this again.
I think i did this few times, but it is important to come back to it as many do not exactly, understand what ASSET allocation means.
It is, mostly, taking the conventional bull bear thinking in terms of DOLLARS and transfering it in the realm of Bull/Bear thinking in comparison to each other ( eliminating the Dollar as a factor)! In one's thinking
Good Trading My Dear Friend Michael
Good Morning Dear Boris & Dear Michael & Dear John & Dear Ivan...
Good Morning Dear Xerxes
GOod Trading My Dear Friend
So far so good Dear Boris....the relic keeps powering north...the buck shriveling on the vine....
Dear Boris...Nice gain for EURJPY today...Should have acted rather than talk yesterday; test, as you always suggest Dear Boris...
From Bloomberg.....
"....under new European Union guidelines.....call for stress tests, the disclosure of impaired assets and the possible closure of unprofitable operations, the EU said in a statement today. The guidelines will be used to review lenders that received aid after the credit crisis prompted EU governments to approve more than 3.77 trillion euros ($5.37 trillion) to support banks.
Dear Xerxes
When you start trailing ,
then trend becomes your friend.
You go as far as it goes(:-
That is nice
Good Trading Dear Xerxes
They're tossing the trillions around euroland as well Dear Boris but they keep bidding EURUSD up....You'd think that PM's would be higher...
....then trend becomes your friend...
You forgot the rest of the expression Dear Boris.. 'until it isn't' ...
When the trend is not your friend, that does not bother those who trail with stops, Dear Xerxes,
That is the point of trainling stops to get out.
No trend is not your problem at that point.(:-
Good Trading Dear Xerxes
Dear Boris...Did you hear the latest from Obama on health care reform...."Don't fear.....CHANGE"

How High Can You Fly
You'll Always, Always, Always, Reach the Sky
Dear Xerxes,
Stay with the trend.
That is a good idea,
Sometimes though it is a good idea to take profits
and We would galdly do that sometimes, as usally we get to repurchase the same shares for less later.
That is all to know.
Markets are not difficult.
Buy law sell high and wait to do it again.
Just keep the core holdings to hold you through
Good Trading Dear Xerxes
Dear Boris...When did Wall Street move to Pamplona :-)
I was thinking about 1050 to 1100 Dear Boris, by summer's end....Looks like by end of July instead ;-)
Good morning everyone,
I am glad I got out or this is the ultimate sign of the top (me capitulating..:-) ). Anyways I will keep an eye out for you guys. Look like the 'sell in may and go away" is not gonna happen this year. Also this may be one of those year where the january effect will not come true. Like i said earlier, I don't like trading when fundamentals continue to be ignored unless all of the best economists I listened to are wrong..(roach, rosenberg, roubini, faber, etc..) I really would love to go longs but I can't find anything I like about this market at all.
Good trading dear friends,
Michael
EURUSD dropped 10 pips...It's recommended to buy the dips :-)
From Bloomberg....People want yield and there is 3.2 trillion in money market accounts...Investors will not reassess positions based on fundamentals till the 3rd quarter...
Dear Michael,
Markets and fundamentals are more time out of synch than in sync, and that is probably understatement in coming years, which will be very different from last 25 years.
So, Again just like any other feelings , this one needs to be controlled. RECOGNISED for sure, but CTROLLED, by stops in the market.
That is only tool we have once we are in the markets. Take a position and think or actually have stops in the market.
Good Trading Dear Michael
976 Dear Boris...How High Can She Fly?
Dear Boris...
10yr/2yr spread increased some more so far today...record high? I think so...
Dear Ben is skeruuued Dear Boris....
What's he gonna do when the price level rises hard, the economy is in the tank and unemployment
keeps rising?
I know, he'll just lie about everything... (1) price rises reflect quality improvements and added features (2) GDP will be rising for sure no matter what, after all they manufacture the statistics (3) The unemployed are actually leisure shoppers enjoying the voluptuous life that is America......
Dear Xerxes, SPX 976?
We donot know how it will go. All we know is that we took profits today , some more on another portion we purchased about 75 points ago.
SO, let it go. I do not care.
I will wait for my time to repurchase.
Good Trading Dear Xerxes
Dear Boris...There are 3 fibos, right here, at 957.xx....Next stop would be north of 970 and then on to Dawson City Dear Boris :-)
Dear Xerxes,
Thanks for reporting.
Good Trading Dear Friend Xerxes
EURUSD and zahav are a bit exhausted Dear Boris, but S&P and zahav shachor refuse to budge :-)
Dear Boris...pushin' 980 .... booommm
ANTIDOLLARS are crushing without SPX.
Dear Dmitry,
Stock Market supposedly is in the rally, because, CHINA is going to use all ANTIDOLLAR ever created on the earth ( OIL, COPPER, GOLD , SILVER etc.)
So,what gives in here?
Well , we don not want to be guessing. Just take the profit and let the things align again.
They will.
Good Trading Dear Friend DMitry
Dear Boris...Equities rise, pension plans get liquefied, people buy houses and start flipping them once again, Dear Ben writes his memoirs entitled "They Didn't Believe"....
Dear Xerxes,
We shall talk about that when it happens.
I do not see for a while
Perhaps some, but not much for a long time
Good Trading Dear Xerxes.
More likely scenario is
that the foreight scam, that got rich on our cheap Dollars will come and buy American properties cheap from the hands of , by then, depressed and tired Americans, who have worked their entire life, to ceed the savings to a system that banckrupted them.
Good Trading Dear Xerxes
Good Morning Dear Boris
Nice inverted H&S on Gold daily Dear Boris looking at new all time highs if it plays...It's just waiting for your authorization :-)
Dear Xerxes, Just so that people reading this blog do not wrong ideas, I am not bullish/bearish on GOld at this time.
Exact details are in our asset allocation writeup under the market report.
As far as your positioning, it is fine what we discussed todo.
Thanks And Good Monring
My Dear Freind Xerxes
Just having a bit of fun Dear Boris :-) I'm sure everybody and his brother see the inverted H&S so it is unlikely to pass....
EURUSD vacillating between firsts so far today...
“I’m skeptical about whether consumer demand can improve from here,” said Laurent Bilke, a senior economist at Nomura in London. “What’s important is that the free fall is over.”
Is it really over Dear Boris :-)
The German economy may return to growth this quarter as a global recovery boosts exports and government measures to stimulate domestic spending kick in.
“Goodbye recession, hello recovery,” said Andreas Rees, chief German economist at UniCredit MIB in Munich. “The chances for growth in the third quarter are good.”
Hang Seng over 20,000 Dear Boris, surging over 6% this week alone and the highest since the Lehman debacle

Dear Boris...A surfeit of positive news this morning but S&P is down a smidge...Does antidollar sink today?
...In any case, market needs to prove that it is not scared and rally in the face of this to prove that there is nothing to worry about.....
It rallied Dear Boris :-)
Dear Xerxes,
Good News is Good News Sometimes.
And Sometimes, It means bad news coming.
In any case, we are going to new post.
Thanks Dear Xerxes
