G’day Traders, The markets rebounded producing a positive night overall after we saw it fall in the previous session. This has been a common occurrence over the last week of trading, producing some very mixed signals and movements, leading up to Thanksgiving. My Weekly article will look at Thanksgiving in more depth. The US S&P500 [...]

G’day Traders, Well, we had another quiet day on Friday as the market prepares for Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s announcements. Some believe the results of the mid-terms, giving Republicans control of the House, would be a good outcome and see the markets rally. The market has always performed better when the President is a Democrat and [...]

G’day Traders, Last night I watched a stockbroker on TV being so positive about the markets. I was thinking – wow – these guys really go on an emotional ride and if you are on TV you are probably pretty good right? Well it saddened me that this industry is SO reactive to a point [...]

G’day Traders, Today will be a little different. I am going to be a little tough on you because I want you to make money. Then I am going to show you the amazing possibilities of a falling market. You are not going to make money by switching products that look like they are doing [...]

G’day Traders, I just got off the plane from Europe. Wasn’t a bad trip and for once getting through Australian customs was relatively easy. Plus it’s a beautiful winter’s day in Brisbane. I didn’t talk about the G20 last week because I didn’t want to confuse anyone. Usually these events have little immediate effect on [...]

G’day Traders, Today in my weekly update I have written about some major risks for investors and some major opportunities for those who trade or hedge investments and are prepared to go short ETFs. The market did pretty much what I thought it would in the US overnight. Stocks went down and Gold was strong. [...]

G’day Traders, I had a really great day working on my new book and spending time with my wife’s family. It is sunny here, but I hear it is the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. I also got to watch the soccer and although the competition has been terrible at least [...]
