G’day Traders, If you are a Forex trader are you aware the update is now just one minute after the close of New York. For those who think it’s important, this means you can enter closer to the update time. One thing I always teach is that it’s the trades you miss that cost you [...]

G’day Traders, The reaction of the market to news is more important than the news itself. So whilst I believe US consumer confidence is one of the best long term stock market indicators, it seems the market discounted it with the US remaining pretty flat. On top of the bad consumer confidence numbers, US housing [...]

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, Yesterday’s rally was contributed to by rumours that the Fed was going to cut the rate it pays for bank deposits to zero from 25b.p. Ummm – I thought this was pretty stupid, but obviously stocks (and bond) traders believed in it because when Bernanke spoke, it was too boring and the market [...]

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, I have just arrived in Europe tonight after a comfortable flight from New York to Vienna, and I am now in the Czech Republic. The markets are still open in the US right now, but have just moved above some strong resistance so it’s great for everyone who is long. The EUR has [...]

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, G’day traders – what a beautiful day in Vail it is. I’m just about to run back for cocktails and then we have a musician to listen to tonight. We made a great presentation this morning to the conference and talked to many investors today. Also, some really interesting companies presented such as GAZU [...]
