A.M. Look 11/10/11

Gold….We’re going to give this a full 20 dollars since we’re looking to make almost 400. I like that risk reward. The stop is under 1747 close in the futures….. app 169.85 in the GLD ETF. Silver…last night’s low needs … Continue reading

A.M. Look 11/9/11

The Boom Boom man’s exit (Berlusconi) is certainly unsettling the markets. If this were the 70’s I’d be looking for the scotch tape to paste another sheet of graph paper to the bottom of my Italian 10 yr. Bond chart. … Continue reading

A.M. Look 11/7/11

A.M. Look 10/21/11

The U.S. Equity markets are still a slave to the E.U. drama. The British Pound and Swiss Franc are strong against the Euro on the crosses this a.m. This is a reflection of skepticism that this weekend’s summit will provide a tangible … Continue reading

Big Picture…AUD/USD

Aussie & S&P 500 are both putting in lower highs on the rallies and higher lows on the breaks. Meaning we aren’t going to stay in this area much longer. Oil is running the show again today.  The low of … Continue reading

Aussie General Risk off

Every trade is the same trade, meaning that all the instruments are trading either Risk On or Risk Off. One mirrors another. This weeks AUD/USD stops are under 101.18 cash. Take another 50% of your remaining short position off if … Continue reading
