G’day Traders, What a nice morning it is on the Gold Coast. I have had a great weekend with my brother’s family, including an 8 month old, staying with us. He has been very entertaining without keeping us up at night – amazing! This week is important for the markets. There is plenty of economic [...]

G’day Traders, Last night I got home from playing soccer and watched a bit of TV. There was some surfing on, but then I watched a bit of business news and checked out what was happening in the markets. Then I saw the pre-open for Corn – it was way up and I was short. [...]

G’day Traders, It was great to be back today and to have Yum Cha with some of the team for lunch. A beautiful day on the Gold Coast and I had a nice afternoon nap after my flight. Tonight I am starting this just before the US opens as I want to watch what happens [...]

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 [...]

G’day Traders, This morning I was feeling a bit slack – just like the markets I guess. With the positive spin everyone was putting on the re-floating of the Chinese currency yesterday, to see it start strongly, then fall and finish lower shows me the market is running out of energy. When positive news can’t [...]

G’day traders, This morning my wife and I are in transit again, after having a fantastic time in the US, we are now bound for Europe. The markets have a variety of moves happening. We are seeing lots of Bullish moves for Indices, Grains and Softs. After the Dow’s huge movement over the weekend, it [...]

G’day traders, We have just left The Rockies and I am now back in Denver – about to share dinner with a client from the conference tonight. It’s considerably hotter here than in Vail even though we are still a mile up. Today I had some great training here at the conference – it went [...]

G’day Traders, Another beautiful day here, meeting more great people. One of the things is that just about every one of these investors is bearish on the markets…. that makes me a little worried being short. Again some really interesting companies presented – UNDT (a company producing anthrax detectors) and CLSC (a company that will [...]
