橫向格局


預期市場已經比較不會出現之前那種漲跌超過五百點的震盪格局 ,應該是開始打橫走一段時期。
今天市場以下跌220點作收, 加上昨天100多點的下跌, 基本上又回到前天漲300多點的位置, 再探8600左右的支撐, 今天道瓊斯收於8605。 石油期貨則下跌至$36, 完全不理會OPEC減產的決定, 可見市場仍對復甦的時間不樂觀。
昨天觀察幾支線形看來不錯的股票 : NVDA,CELG,FCX
今天NVDA 以跌至設定的價位, FCX 則是以經持有

聯儲局降息至歷史新低 0.25%


今天在聯儲局調降利率0.75% 超過預期的0.5% 市場在尾盤大幅上漲360點,
道瓊斯收於8924 ;那斯達克上漲81.55, 收於1590; S&P500 上漲44.6, 收於913點。

半導體類股及財經類股市期中表現較為理想的類股 ,許多股票皆已突破50天平均線, 不過這50天均線仍然是呈下滑趨勢, 還是要保持謹慎的態度 。

由於利率降至歷史新低, 接下來應該會讓美金受到影響, 至於原材料是否會因此上漲, 還要看全球的經濟復甦程度, 不過金價已經上漲了不少, 而且還有上漲的可能。
道瓊斯突破50天均線之後 ,有可能會探9600左右, 屆時應該會再回檔築底。

此次經濟危機始於房地產泡沫化, 而政府財政部門最近調降利息, 甚至傳出房貸有可能降至30年4.5% ,(今天財長鮑爾森今日否認) 看起來走出這場金融風暴的方法,可能是房價降至一定程度, 讓房市再度熱絡, 雖然房價已經下跌許多, 但在灣區的房價並沒有大幅下降的跡象, 也許只有在裁員潮發生後才有可能。

峰迴路轉 美國汽車業紓困案 U-Turn


原本預期週五股市應該會以大跌超過三百點開盤,然後尾盤拉起; 但這個市場比我想像得更加 Bullish, 即使週四晚的汽車紓困案未能在參院通過, 開盤也不過跌兩百點; 之後白宮及財政部便決定伸出援手 幫助汽車業度過一段難關, 政策的大轉彎 ,也造成股市在中盤開始突破跌勢, 最後以上漲64點作收, 守住EMA20。

令一個經濟數據則是零售業的業績, 當然如預期般相當負面; 這兩個重大的壞消息卻沒讓市場大跌,而且還以上漲作收, 相信短期內漲勢可期。 但仍是要守住見好就收的原則 ,不要掉入大陷阱, 畢竟熊市仍然會回頭幾次的。

美國汽車業紓困案受阻


國會眾議院通過經過削減的汽車工業紓困案後 ,今天晚上在參議院遭受阻擋。 問題還是岀在工會, 我之前以為他們應該會共體時艱 ,才去買了福特股票, 不知這些工會組織在想什麼, 以為國家非救他們不可嗎 ? 在這個時期竟然還不肯做出讓步, 非要搞得玉石俱焚, 也把自己的機會給搞掉。 全國的納稅人為何要付這些汽車工人高得離譜的工資, 享受一切福利 ,退休計畫, 甚至工閒時還能拿 95%的工資, 而他們的表現有比德日汽車廠的工人好嗎 ? 是應該給他們一點教訓 ,不過這個教訓有點太大了, 大到連我的荷包都受影響。 希望他們回頭是岸, 正如之前銀行紓困案也是曾受阻, 工會應該還有一次大讓步的機會, 至少也給調個薪, 讓大部分的人先保住飯碗吧!

今天道瓊斯以四度挑戰50天均線失利, 中場一度震盪, 但由於市場已傳言參院有可能阻擋紓困案, 大盤在後段大跌近200點; 看來連明天的 20天均線都要不保, 也許有可能再探一次底吧, 這樣也好 看看有沒有double bottom 出現。

圖形可以非常清楚的看出如我昨天所說 ,50天均線的阻力果然很強。

短期平均線交叉


今天市場基本上是小幅震盪, 仍在試圖挑戰EMA50, 也同時測試 EMA20 。由於目前這兩個平均線有接近的傾向, 能不能出現黃金交叉,然後展開一段時期的牛市, 或是 EMA50 這個中期阻力依然強勁, 就看這兩週的表現了。目前已經出現了EMA10,20的交叉, 但 Slow Sto 卻有點鈍化, 還是要保持一些警戒 。
今天道瓊斯上漲70點 ,收於8761點; 金價大幅上漲 $34 ,突破800美元關卡, 收於 $808.80 。

挑戰 50 天均線


正如昨天所說, 市場會在50天附近震盪, 昨天與今天果然是一碰到這個阻力便衝不上去; 由MACD 與 Stochastic 觀察 ,市場還是在上升趨勢中 ,還是跟昨天一樣, 希望本周能站上50天均線之上, 至少20天均線看上去已經成形了 。

今天股市一開始便呈下跌趨勢, 在尾盤則加重下跌幅度, 以下跌242.85, 收於8691點; 仍在8600點之上。 也許若再測試8600左右時, 可再進一些 。
今天設了ABX 與 UYG($6.1) 只買進了ABX,明天再試試UYG 的底價。

高科技類股有一些表現相當好, 因為昨天收盤後德儀及Broadcom 都發布盈利預警,, 稱下個季度的銷售將受影響 但今天反而上漲, 有些利空出盡的味道。 但是還是小心,( 不太敢玩半導體的股票)
剛看到 SUN Micro (JAVA) 的股票, 看來近期表現不錯, 有一個微笑曲線, 應該可以注意一下; 雖然昇陽的表現一直讓人失望. 但之前裁員消息及其對 Cloud computing 的影響. 應該是會讓它有一些改變。

下一步


今天市場不出意料, 承續上週五的漲勢, 繼續上探EMA50; 今天一直維持在200點以上的漲勢, 收盤以上漲298.76, 收於8934點 。
預計市場會在EMA50左右受到一些阻力 ,希望能在此周突破EMA50 ,再探9600點 ,支撐應該在EMA20。

之後應該思考政府的這一切援助計畫會有何其他不利的影響。若全球經濟開市好轉,美元可能會貶值。

短期漲勢可期


由於就業市場的數據不佳 ,創下74年以來單月失業人口最多的紀錄 533K, 比預期的335K人數超出許多;週五市場一開盤不久便一路下跌, 曾跌過超過200點 。

經過兩次測試8200點的支撐之後, 市場開始往上衝, 收盤前曾上漲300點, 後來以漲259點, 報8635點收盤 ,重新站上EMA20 之上 。

與之前所期望在星期一收盤在EMA20符合, 甚至提前確定短期看漲的趨勢, 在這麼多負面消息情況下還能有此逆轉型態, 可見之前7500點的支撐是可以看做中期的一個低點 。

但是原材料及原油價格仍無起色, 為避免擴大損失 將USOANR 認賠賣出; RIMM 之前是做為一個對沖之用, 既確認短期牛市, 而且看起來也掉不太下去, 便將其空頭回補, 還好是在市場大漲之前便回補。

UYG 圖形看來之前有一個 Hammer, 它目前還在EMA20之下, 希望下星期能有大突破。

房貸利率急降 美元上漲 原材料期貨下跌


從什麼地方跌倒, 便由什麼地方站起。我認為美國聯儲局打算進一步調降房貸利率的初衷並沒有錯, 因為此次的金融危機風暴就是由房市的泡沫而起 ,加上衍生性金融產品的規範不當, 導致雪球愈滾愈大; 原本能用錢解決的事情, 搞到整個實體經濟都受影響, 並對製造業,各種產業, 消費市場造成波及, 並產生大規模的失業。
但這些並不只是美國的房市泡沫所引起, 我覺得中國的崛起(許多人的猜想) 及其奧運的舉辦 ,也可能脫不了關係。 因為中國為了籌辦奧運 ,先前便大興土木, 搞建設 ,弄得全世界原材料短缺 ,石油暴漲,甚至連農產品都被炒作 ,以應付中國當時的需要。
當奧運結束之後, 這些當時為了搶佔市場而多生產出來的產品,便無處可去, 商品囤積愈來愈多, 導致今天產業的蕭條 。否則我認為光是美國房市的崩盤, 頂多是美國金融市場的危機 ,並不會對這些實體產業造成如今日所見不可收拾的結果; 而若只是金融市場導致的危機, 在政府(全世界)注入大量資金後 ,至少會有一定程度的起色。

今日市場由於經濟數據, 公司大量裁員, 及明天即將公布失業率的負面消息下, 道瓊斯下跌215點, 以8376 點作收, 是可預期(比我預期的好), 也可以接受的結果。

突破EMA10 站上EMA20


今天市場以開低走高的型態開始, 至中盤漲至EMA20阻力後往下回調, 再測試 EMA10, 之後尾盤一路上漲,以172上漲點數收盤, 成功站上EMA20, 以8592收盤。
如果下星期一仍能在EMA20以上, 那麼市場便可能有一波上漲空間, 再挑戰難度更高的50天均線。
不過這個20天均線看來還要經過一段時間的反覆測試, 不過由MACD 看來, 應該是個好現象。
前天的600點跌幅現在收復一半, 雖然經濟前景還充滿隱憂 ,但短期股市表現應該不會太差才對。

挑戰EMA10


今天道瓊斯兩度測試昨天的收盤價, 最後以上漲270點作收, 相當接近EMA10 (8427)
看情勢市場應該是在醞釀上漲的氣氛, 但由於星期五將公布預期不佳的失業率報告, 操作還是得謹慎。
為了做一些對沖 ,今天放空了一些RIMM; 油價再創新低, 再買進一些做為長期投資; 至於UYG可以等看到反轉信號再加碼。

After Holiday -- Bear is back



經過感恩節假期的連續五天上漲, 結束十一月的交易, 今天股市開盤後便迅速下跌300點, 之後便在 -300~ -400 點之間震盪 ,到了最後一個小時的交易時間 ,道瓊斯急跌200點 ,最後下跌680點(7.7%),以8149 收盤 ; 其他指數: Nasdaq -137.5, closed 1398; S&P500 -80, closed 816;
金價亦狂掉42美元 收於776美元 期油小跌$1.48 收在$50美元以下($47.8)。

由於之前五天的上漲正如我之前所提及的, 必須以今天的股市表現加以確定; 今天重跌則是再確定市場仍是處於空頭。 上星期的上漲便是典型的價量分離的型態 (見圖), 因此今天表現並不令人感到意外; 不過下跌的幅度到是超過我的預期, 原本我以為大概跌個500點 ,所以便在中場處理了空頭部位並下UYG買單 ,今天是有些超跌; 不過我覺得這樣的市場反而比較健康一些, 看來是初期築底的階段 。

從空頭的ETF 如EEV 及 Dow Jones 的比較, 及目前的點數, 讓我對市場短期回到中立的立場。
EEV 和 Dow Jones 都在 EMA20 以下, 令我感到有些困惑 ;而8149 這個點數也差不多在我所判斷支撐與阻力的中段部位 (7500 -9500)。

附記:
感恩節黑色星期五的銷售數量比去年同期有顯著增長, 但許多人認為今年假期零售大概不像以往延續到耶誕節, 今天則是網路銷售最重要的一天(Cyber Monday)。

明天關注及策略:
汽車業將提交其改善計畫以尋求國會撥款紓困, 預計將可獲通過。
Marvell 將於盤後公布盈餘, 也有可能將裁員計畫一並透露給市場。
若大市再度測試7500底部 (7500~7600) 應可少量買進一些Ultra long ETF or Google.

本來以為沒有買賣的, 後來發現FNM 在收盤前以當日最高價1.25 賣出, 五天內從原本擔憂被除牌的0.3價位, 漲了四倍; 不過當時並沒有買, 現在處理掉一半也算是賠錢賣 ,不過能以這個價錢賣出還是算是少賠了一些。

感恩節前一日 -- 突破 20天 均線


經過連續四天上漲, 道瓊斯在感恩節前夕創下76年來四天漲幅最多(15.5%)後, 道瓊斯及標準普爾皆突破EMA20, 只有Nasdaq 剛好在EMA20 的下緣

今天一開盤是以低開而後一路往上衝, 不顧一些負面的經濟數據, 如房屋銷售及失業率, 大概仍是受到前一天政府在度出手救助金融體系,及之後衍生房貸利率調降的影響。

市場一般預期今年黑色星期五的銷售額會受到經濟衰退的影響而不如以往, 但市場仍以收高結束, 可見一些投資人以對政府所投入的巨額資金有一定程度的信心, 而且又有一些對聖誕季節銷售仍差強人意的期待 。由於假期前的交易, 成交量也比平時略小, 週五也只開盤半天; 真正需要認真看待的可能是星期一的股市, 屆時零售業在黑色星期五的業績也將統計出來。

== Neutral ==


美國股市經過驚險的7500測試之後, 連續大漲兩天; 週五漲494點(6.5%) ,今天漲397點(5%), 兩天共漲了900點。 從技術面看來, 這是因為市場測試了7500點的重要支撐後的反彈; 從消息面看, 週五是因為候任總統奧巴馬宣布了下任財長人選由現任紐約聯儲局主席接掌, 今天則是美國政府宣告將挽救瀕危的花旗銀行及奧巴馬宣布經濟團隊及可能的經濟刺激方案; 基本面看, 美國經濟形勢仍然嚴峻 ,失業率 、汽車工業、 房地產市場、 消費市場 ,皆呈現極不佳的景象。
因為技術圖表即表現了大部分人對這些看法的綜合結果及心理狀態, 我還是願意偏重技術面來進行交易, 當然也不能忽略其他的因素。

自從上週四清理完放空的股票及ETF之後, 手中便沒有空頭型態的股票,而市場也正如所預期般往上飆升。 UYG 今日便趁著花旗銀行的消息,一口氣漲了$1.08 (27%), 黃金期貨也連漲三天, 超過$800 ($819.5), 石油漲得倒是不多, 今天持平 ($53.67) ,還比當初買USO 時低了8%。 不過我還是認為石油可以買進, 至少現在不必急著賣出 ,可以看一下NOV(National Oilwell Varco) , DXO (Ultra Long DB Crude Oil), Winter is coming ...

Dow Jones Chart 連漲兩天 (或許也是因為 short seller cover 的原因), 圖形上非常強勁, 極有可能繼續往上走, 不過也是要當心, 以免掉入陷阱 。目前應該是中立但偏多(Bull) ,可以考慮一些其他的股票, 但不應持有大量 (amgn)..

7500 的重要關卡


近一個月來雖然一直預期這天的到來, 但一旦這天到了, 還是覺得相當怵目驚心。
道瓊斯以近8000點開盤, 中盤曾經上漲200點; 但在最後半小時, 股市狂瀉近500點, 碰到7500點的重要支撐; 其他指數亦然, 皆跌超過5%, 最後道瓊斯以下跌444.99點, 收於7552.29。
經過這一番極速下跌, 我的空頭部位全部清空, 若明天不能守住7500這關, 恐怕麻煩就大了。 從盤後及亞洲股市反彈情形看來 ,希望7500的關卡能夠撐住。

當連一般平常不玩股票的人都進場投資 ,表示股市已經不理性超漲, 必須注意崩盤。
而當大家開始談論如何做空股票賺錢,而毫無畏懼時, 我就必須評估做空的風險了。
今日空頭部位清空 ,除了是達到目標外, 也許是保護自己正確的一步。

跌破支撐至8000點關卡



誠如幾天來的預測一般, 經過這幾天反覆試探支撐, 今天股市終究敵不過下跌的趨勢, 大幅下跌超過5%。
Dow Jones下跌727.47點, 五年來首次收盤於8000點的關卡之下, 終盤收於7997 點 。其實我認為支撐其實是在8200點, 8000點比較像是一個心理關卡, 一旦突破了8200點的第一道關卡, 極可能還會在8000點左右尋求支撐, 然後再往十月份的低點7773.71 挑戰。

很多人問何時是底部, 其實底部應該是一個過程而不是單一日的事件; 目前看來, 還看不到走出幽谷的跡象。

許多公司股價都跌至甚至低於公司應有資產水平以下, 所以現在該關注有哪些公司可能被對手併購。 不過不知今天還有哪些公司有實力去併吞其對手, 這些就會是該投資的公司。
微軟今天表示沒興趣收購雅虎 ,這是理所當然, 它只要以逸待勞 ,便可以以更低的價錢得到它想要的產品。

今天慢慢收網一些放空的股票, 當然還留了一些, 有時候還是要先見好就收 。也許這兩天還有機會反彈, 到時若有到8300左右時, 可以再進一些SCC。

預測正確 執行失敗



昨天在設定今天的交易策略完全正確, 可是自己卻無法貫徹執行 :
今天大盤一開始便在8200點左右激戰, 到中盤時下跌300點, 跌破8000關卡, 之後便一路上衝, 尾盤更是如我在公司所說急升超過500點, 最後 Dow Jones 上漲552 點, 收於8835.25。

昨日說要中盤時賣出EEV, 但是提前賣出, 沒關係, 因為還賺錢。 但 GOOG 卻沒耐性等到尾盤便賣掉止損 ,以致損失。 唉! 當然這是事後諸葛, 但既然昨天已料到會拉尾盤, 這次以止損為優先考量, 只能說又上了"寶貴"的一課。 GOOG 最後漲$21(7%) 以$312 收盤 。

另外又加上做空其他股票, 這倒是沒錯, 只是時間點不對; 應該先等它從8000點反彈, 若再測試第二次失敗後再做空, 就不會浪費子彈。 說不會浪費子彈是說,預測市場應該還會往下走, 因為今天雖收高550點, 但仍在 EMA10 左右 。 沒辦法, 只好再定明日戰術吧。

回歸趨勢 測試支撐


今天市場呈現一面倒的情勢, 從開盤便一路下滑; Dow Jones 下跌411點, 收於8283; 明天將挑戰第一個8200點的關卡, 預計很容易跌穿; 第二道支撐於8143點; 也就是說明天若跌超過150點, 便有極大機會再往下探, 從盤後的悲觀數據來看, 恐怕是無法避免了。不過還是寄望明日收盤前有買盤進入。

徘徊在支撐與阻力中間


今天大盤開盤後便一路下滑, 在下跌超過200點後,盤中一度反彈,但後繼無力。 最後仍以下跌176點作收 。
由於持有的EEV SMN FXP 都已達目標, 而且這幾隻ETF圖形上並不是理想,而且震幅頗大, 為避免重蹈上次EEV 貪婪的教訓, 於早上大盤跌過後便收手, 只剩下SCC

GOOG 創了52週新低的300.06, 本來也設了加碼GOOG (301.46) ,但後來又漲上來, 而失去這一機會 。不過的GOOG 股價偏高, 還是謹慎操作為宜。

預期各國刺激經濟的手段無非是增加基礎建設, 投入救急基金 降低利息等; 在基礎建設方面, 原材料及原油的需求將會增加(短期內可能看不到), 但原油期貨已到新低價位, 產油國也準備召開會議 原油便成為我第一個設定可長期投資的目標。
本來也在查看有關環保方面的ETF,但考慮目前市場及各國仍以恢復市場信心與秩序為優先考量, 環保議題可能會被放到後面一點 ,不過要關注中國如何處理這個問題。

中國刺激經濟方案

中國政府在周日宣布刺激經濟方案, 將投入四兆人民幣 (586 billion), 分兩年時間投資於各種基礎建設及其他健全財政經濟體制 。
一直不敢下手買FXP, 就是預測中國政府會出此一招。 亞洲市場在週一普遍上漲, 但美國股市則在早盤衝高後便一路下滑。 畢竟中國的內需會對世界經濟帶來多大幫助還在未定之天, 中國經濟成長問題仍在於外銷, 只要世界主要經濟體仍然處於衰退, 人民幣匯率仍然不利於中國出口 。雖然中國經濟成長率在此一經濟方案推動後仍可望保持8%增長, 但其反倒造成原物料成本上漲, 對全球經濟反而助長通貨膨漲, 雪上加霜。 既然方案出台, 便可以大膽挺進 FXP了。

美國國內的失業潮已從財務公司轉而影響到製造業(車廠)進一步擴大到高科技了。

一日行情 Not a regular market to trade

Fortunately, I wake up earlier today and saw the market had turned south at first 15 minutes.
The Dow Jones was down more than 150 point at very beginning, based on the reason that this is still a bear market and yesterday's rally maybe faded as the end of the election. So the action was taken to hold the gain, stop lose and turning to short position...

Today's trade:
Bought TWM $96.75 (market price)
Bought EVV $81.49(market price)
Sold FSLR $164.35(market price)
Sold IWM $53.87
Sold STX $7.39 (market price): 7% stop lose.

Change -- New President




The market is rally today as Dow Jones up 305, Nasdaq was up 53.8,S&P500 was up 39.45.
Many said it is because of the presidential election, well, but as for technical analysis point of view, it is probably more than that. The chart had shown the reversal of the trend (short term) a week ago, the election effect had been priced in already.

Anyway, US has made history by elect the first President with African background. It shows that the US is still a young, energetic country.

Marvell stock leaped 9.85% today as it announce earning forecast below previous predicted as the economic slow down, and was upgraded by analyst.

Today's trade:
Bought STX $7.9 (12.29pm)
Note: cancel order at $7.56 as the price looks climbing up and change the order to $7.9;
the price then went back down and closed at 7.53.
this is a rush trade. after hour price was $8.12.

Indecisive Nov Opening




The market with lighter volume with slight change today as it is still wondering the trend and waiting for the election result tomorrow.
The three major indies are all struggling around EMA20 as Dow Jones above it and Nasdaq and S&P500 slightly below it.

The First Solar (FSLR) seems to have gained a solid ground today as the lowest point today was near EMA20 and up $18. It maybe something to do with the election since people think Obama would favor the clean (alternative) energy.
I also set a buy on ABT but the price is not hit what I set and the chart does not look attractive to me after market closed either, though, it is still remain on my radar screen.

Seagate (STX) will replace Monster Worldwide (MNST) to be listed on Nasdaq 100 on Nov 10; its chart looks like turning around from Friday's low.

Today's Trade:
Bought FSLR: $150.69
Bought IWM $54

End Of Oct -- Short Term Trend changed


The markets seems to have change the trend, it actually had the first signal on Tuesday with the long white bar, and then the Dow Jones index has also stand above EMA20 on Friday's close price.
After the confirmation about the trend had changed, I need to take a lose on those short ETF and stocks, though it is still under bearish market, the short term trend had been reversed.
The lesson learned for these lose stocks, there were some good chances to take a profit but only take some profit from EEV. And do not add SMN since I had already have enough short positions.
It's still difficult to determine the profit taking point, the EEV exit point seems perfect. And the market had change sharply, if taken 5% lose on the day trend switched, I could still make some profit instead of losing them...
So, forget about those lose and look to find good stocks to buy:

Today's Trade:
Sold EEV $84.65
Covered GOOG $371.02
Sold SMN $70.57
Sold TWM 96.7

聯儲局降息的影響-- Impact of Interest Rate Cut



Bank of Japan cuts interest 0.2%, the interest rate had drop to 0.3%. How far can central banks of the world go ?
The major indies today gain about 2%, the Dow Jones was up 189.73 closed at 9180.69 (still below 9200), Nasdaq was up 41.31 closed at 1698.52, S&P500 was up 24 closed at 954.Gold dropped $15.5 closed at $738.5 and oil was down $1.45 closed at $64.5.

Today's trade is out of the discipline: both EEV and SMN were all dropped more than 10%, though I am still betting on these two stocks since the trend is still bearish. I think I can still hold on, since the major indies are failed to break out the trend line.
Asian markets now are down, and I guess the bull cannot survive over the weekend and there will be the presidential election next week. EEV is way down too much, if it is still below $120 tomorrow, it should be out of my portfolio.

Today's Trade:
Bought EEV $95.26
Bought SMN $75.06

Fed Cut Interest Rate 0.5%



The market was up and down during early trading hours and jumped to 200 points gain in the last hour, then 15 minutes before the closing bell, it dropped sharply and ended up with 74 points lose from yesterday's close. The Dow Jones closed at 8990.96, NASDAQ was up 7.74 , closed at 1657.21; S&P500 down 10.42 closed at 930.
The Fed announced the interested rate as market expected by 0.5%, the interest rate now is 1%.
The oil was up $2.92 and the gold was up $13.5 due to this interest rate cut for weaken the dollar;the commodity and basic material were also up.
ANR was up $4.61 (15%) today because of the interest cut, and I expect it will continue to go up.
It is also excess the 7% lose when I shorted days ago, so it's time to take a lose.
For EEV and SMN, I will think today's interest cut would not impact it much as of to commodity; so I just took a bold move to add the short position since the trend is still bearish.. Anyway, if it will lose more than 10% by tomorrow, I may also to take a lose from it.

It is also time to look for good companies to invest next, though, the presidential election is a week after which will also be a factor to affect the market. Let's wait and see.


Today's Trade:

Covered ANR $34.25
Added EEV $114.16
Added SMN $78

Another Trap ?



The Dow Jones index was up 889.35 (10.88%), back to 9000 level closed at 9065.12. The other US market index are also up about 10%. I still don't know the reason why the market was rally so much, maybe because of the market in Asia was up more than 10% and expect the Fed will cut interest rate 0.5% to 1%. Well, the trend continue to be bearish, but the rally of 10% is a strong signal to the market though the volume is not as significant as a reversal signal.

As mentioned yesterday about" any up days of this week maybe a runaway day or a good day for short...", ha, it just happened today though the 900 points rally is definitely out of my imagination.
Some of the short position is over 5%, but I think I will wait until tomorrow to prove that I should take a lose and get out of the short position, at this moment, I still believe that the bottom is still way to come.

Today's Trade:
Bought SMN $93.36
(*setting to buy this price was too high, originally was try to set EMA10: $87)

Swing Day Trade

The Dow Jones future was down 500 point before the market open due to the market sell-off in Asia during the weekend, many of them were down more than 10%, include HongKong. The market opened better than expected and then went up even more than 120 point gain until the last minute that it suddenly sold off and down -203 at closing bell. The Dow Jones closed at 8175.77, the lowest level in 5 years.

The markets in Asia were higher on Tuesday and the Dow Jones future is up 200 point for now.
Though the chart is still bearish and the consumer confidence number will be announce tomorrow which is expected to be lower. The house sales number increase while the price is down.
Any up day of this week maybe a runaway day or a good day for short...


Today's trade:
Shorted ANR @26.53

Test Support - Possible break next week


As the global markets fear the "R"ecession, the stock market went lower closed the lowest since 2003, thought the Dow Jones intraday lowest point (8187.43) is still higher than the one on Oct 10 (7773.71), but lower than the previous intraday low (8197.67) on Oct16. The market may continue to decline, test the support at 8000 , then 7773. If the support been broke, the market will start another free fall again, then we may see another bottom though not necessary the last one.


Friday's Trade:
Covered AAPL $93.59
Sold half EEV @193.00

Continue Bearish Trend -- Watch Energy Sector


Another down day on market until the last minutes that the Dow Jones had turned into 172 point gain. The high-low swing of today is about 500 point, another volatile trading day. The Nasdaq was not able to turn into positive though, -11.84, closed at 1603.91; S&P was up 11.33, closed at 908.11.
The crude oil still closed lower but the energy sector ends up higher.XOM was up 9% today.

The earning report from companies such as Microsoft, MacDonald, and Western Digital all show good return for the third quarter, though the market has changed so quickly that nobody would expect good result from the 4th quarter, and it is usually the most important shopping season of the year.

Today's Trade:
Bought FNM $0.7

多空交戰


The market continue to slip despite of some good earning reports from companies such as aapl, brcm, amgn, etc.. The Dow Jones index was down 514.45(5.69%) closed at 8519.21, Nasdaq was down 80.93 closed at 1615.75, S&P500 was down 58.27 closed at 896.78.
The investors are still worried about the global and US economic slowdown and recession; the two days decline had already wiped out the gain on Monday and the trend is still going down.

I thought AAPL was a short target ; even though today's outstanding earning report, the price is still under the 10 days EMA. After a while, I realized that it is one of the few companies which closed higher today, it is stronger than most of other companies. That means , I would able to find a weaker company for the short target, not aapl...

The other reason for my view of bearish is the political issue: the presidential election next month. The poll shows that Obama has 10% more support than his opponent. The situation is very tough right now for whomever win the election. And I view the young senator, may take longer to get familiar with the issues in front of him...

價量關係



今天大盤又以拉尾盤作收: 道瓊斯上漲413 以9265.43 點收盤, 那斯達克 上漲58.74 以1770.03 點收盤,標準普爾上漲44.85 以985.4 點收盤。
今天漲勢主要是因為柏南克談話顯示第二套振興經濟計劃可望獲得提出討論, 及市場預期利率下降 今天雖然股市大漲但並未出現大量買盤, 顯示大咖們還在觀望 (難道是想要設陷阱?)
上週便設定此週為出場週 ,今天在中盤時便將存貨出清 (因為怕尾盤會殺), 大約在漲150 ~ 200點時便賣掉手中該賣的。 有的賺有的賠, 又加碼放空的股票 。其中比較令我意外的是clf, 今天漲了 30%;雖然太早賣掉, 只是股數不多便是。 MDTSPY 大概是賠錢賣了 。
盤後業績報告: 德儀(TI;TXN) 昇陽(SUN;JAVA) 的業績都不理想 ,股價在盤後均大跌; SanDisk (SNDK)及美國運通(AXP) 雖業績不好但優於預期。 小漲一些 本周還有其他大公司報業績 : AAPL,BRCM,YHOO,LSI,AMGN,MRK,AMZN .... 也是我急於出場的主因 ..

人的心理真得很奇怪 ,對自己公司的股票總是不願甘心認賠, 我的套房均由此而來, 唉。戒之戒之!.
有時覺得自己操作有點反應過快(或是市場反應太慢?) 像上次雖預見大跌情形, 但太早補空; 不過當時誰能想到會連續八天都重跌呢? 不知這次如何? 再看吧!

清理門戶



之前在見到短期反彈信號前後所買進的一些股票, 可能要盡快處理掉, 畢竟在不是做長期投資的時機, 而且股票種類太多, 沒時間一一仔細檢視, 還是要做一些清理工作, 希望下周能有一些出場的時機。 不過下周仍是企業的財報週, 還是謹慎為上。
週四盤後Google發布優於預期的盈餘, 周五早盤跳空上漲, 收盤漲了$19.52(5.53%), 盤中漲到385點後, 便出現疲軟的現象。 雖然星期三不敢繼續持有google的股票, (誰知道市場反映會如何) 星期二賣掉的價錢(372.51) 與今天的收盤價($372.54)相差無幾。 今天見它似乎沒有上漲的動力 ,而且大盤看來也不容有太樂觀的情勢, 便於早上設了一個放空價之後 ,就上班去也。 在中盤時便以 $383.23 賣空 。
Dow Jones down 127 closed at 8852.22; Nasdaq down 6.42 closed at 1711.29; S&P500 down 5.88 closed at 940.55. 以上週表現看來 其實是五年來表現最好的一週 ,但往後可能有更嚴峻的情形, 不能不防。 Dow Jones 有可能會跌破上次的低點, 到接近7200 的水平。

現在由於200天均線已經沒有意義, 改以20天均線取代 。Google 的賣空價便是基於MA20.

Shorted Goog $383.23

守住第一道防線


今天道瓊斯指數早盤曾下跌300點, 十分驚險, 因為已經低過星期五的收盤價 ,一度下探8200的關卡。 還好最後尾盤大幅上揚, 終場上揚400點, 以8979點作收。 Nasdaq up 89.38, closed at 1717.71, S&P500 up 38.59 , closed at 946。 黃金則下跌34.5 以804.5作收。 原油漲了$3, closed at $72.91。
盤後 google 發布業績, 盈餘超過預期, 盤後大漲37點(10.5%) 。
因為拉尾盤的關係, 有一隻作空的ETF (TWM) 到了之前設定的買點, 以$110買進。
以目前的走勢分析, 今天形成了第二個低點, 測試了之前的底部, 應該會有一輪漲勢 。但我想上面的阻力還是相當多, 作多的股票可找機會出場。
QQQQ 最低點便和上星期五的最低點相當 ,可能有很多人便止損出場了。不過QQQQ 看來還是表現差一些, 希望今天google 的報告能給它一些上漲的動力。
今天查看一下401K的表現, 從公司轉到Charles Schwab 才一星期, 就已經掉了20%; 還不算之前MassMutual 今年掉的 (可能有30%)。以後還是要定時檢視一下, 這些基金的管理人就這樣坐領高薪嗎?

Today's Trade:
Bought TWM $110
note: Goog lowest at $309.44 (lower than last Friday's low: $310), I just cancel my order last night , and reset the buying price to $294; the risk is high at this period of time...
