Many thanks to all my buddies/supporters, and my sincere apology that I couldn’t answer all your questions on my wall.
I’m almost done for this contest. I sold out almost all of my positions (30+) last Friday, a little more this morning, and now have only two ETF’s (UYM, DIG) in my portfolio.
This market has been a hostage of crude oil and dollar for a while, and I’m expecting oil will rebound from here (short term). Crude oil around 110 is very critical for a number of reasons:
1. long term trend line
2. 200 day moving average
3. extremely oversold. (free fall from 147 on 7/11, -24% drop in 4 wks)
4. keep in mind that we are in the center of hurricane season
Oil-topped-out (how to play oil), and summer rally (seven things I like about this market) have been my strategies, and it was nicely paid out for the last couple of weeks.
I traded mainly commodities (oil, coal, ag, steel), airliners, and financials. It’s been an extremely volatile market. Banks, brokers, bond/mortgage insurers, and airliners all moved 100% to 300% (BKUNA 594% up in 3days, LCC 575%, SCA whopping 1560% in two weeks). There is an old saying on Wall Street, “Volatility is a trader’s friend.”
I’ll be out of the market most of the week. Hope you all have a green week. Thanks again. Have a good trading.
