Week of Opportunity?

I think traders should be watching the markets this week for potential buying opportunities. We highlighted the opportunity in Coal, yesterday but their might be more opportunities in commodities. We are keeping our eyes open and will post anything that we find.

Any comments will be welcomed..

Short or Not?

The markets are looking fragile and we could see a correction on the S&P 500. The guys doing technical analysis certainly think so..

Our warning: Be careful of shorting here..  There is strong political will to support the markets. The US Presidential election is coming in November and there is no bigger incentive for keeping support in the markets..

Will we buy? The better question is: "Where is the value"? If you can find value then you can profit over time. Currently we are looking for opportunities outside the stock market..

What can a trader learn from Alice in Wonderland?

A trader can learn things from an  unexpected source.. Here is some trading wisdom from Alice in Wonderland..

'The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday--but never jam to-day.'
'It MUST come sometimes to "jam to-day,"' Alice objected.
'No, it can't,' said the Queen. 'It's jam every OTHER day: to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know.'
'I don't understand you,' said Alice. 'It's dreadfully confusing!'
'That's the effect of living backwards,' the Queen said kindly: 'it always makes one a little giddy at first--'
'Living backwards!' Alice repeated in great astonishment. 'I never heard of such a thing!'
'--but there's one great advantage in it, that one's memory works both ways.'
'I'm sure MINE only works one way,' Alice remarked. 'I can't remember things before they happen.'
'It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,' the Queen remarked.

Where is the value?

The BIG question we have to ask ourselves now, is WHERE do we find value? We are finding it hard in our business to see opportunity in the stock market and are currently looking at alternatives..

One of the areas where we see opportunity is in lending to business. The banks are contracting their lending books and interest rates in the real world are far, far away from the published ones..

The best investment still is to invest in yourself and your own business.

Maybe a personal challenge is a good place to start. Why not Kajak a river? This is what Mike Boon did.. READ his story here..
