definitely not overbought then...


Recommended Posts

Bulls can be "bull headed". When whipped up into a frenzy (vaccine and stimulus) they can charge forward seeing nothing infront of them, just a will to move forward with the herd, to pasture green and new (and more valuable). 

It is understandable. Covid soon to become a bad memory, Stimulus will oil the vast economic behemoth that is the US economy and all will move forward. Dividends will return to pre pandemic levels. We will all buy a Tesla.  The Fed will continue to buy bonds and feed the economy with ultra loose economic policy.  Unemployment will ease to manageable levels. Trump will concede and the Senate will remain in Republican hands, thereby ensuring no reversing of tax breaks.

No downside then? Surely not overbought? If anything under valued? 

So why the devaluation of the USD$? The ATH of all the indices will only be dwarfed by new greater all time highs. Won't they? Things really are fantastic and will only improve. 

Can only improve.

Ok, so maybe this winter will be a bit tough and the mythical virus may well take more lives and fill to capacity more hospitals. Ok, so the vaccine roll out will take 6 months longer than anticipated and take up may be less than the required 66%. Maybe there are lots of people still unemployed that were employed and contributing to the economy this time last year. And there surely isn't any sign of inflation to upset all of that ultra loose economic policy as commodity prices are rock steady. And the markets are absolutely not overbought again, as retail investors commit ever larger sums of their 401k's into equity markets. No risk there then. Plus the debts from 2020 do not have to be repaid any time soon, or ever, just roll them over with these sweet miniscule interest rates. The property market can only go one way as history shows.

I think my rose tinted glasses have been surgically implanted on my face. Gosh am I on trend? Oh no not again.

    • The mischievous amphibian who became a meme legend? Well, meet Apu, his wide-eyed, optimistic cousin, taking the internet by storm – and now, perhaps, the world of finance. Apu, also known as Peepo or Helper, is a kinder, gentler Pepe variant. Tired of the often-scammy memecoin scene, Apu (or rather, Apu's devoted community) decided to create something different: $APU, a "fairly launched, fully transparent coin" built by and for "all frens." Here's where things get interesting. $APU's narrative is one of resilience and community power. Fueled by the cryptocurrency community's enthusiasm, $APU was initially launched with the best of intentions. However, the dream took a nasty turn when the original developer pulled the rug – a disheartening scenario for many crypto enthusiasts. Today, $APU stands as a testament to community empowerment. It's a beacon of hope for projects facing similar challenges, a reminder that collaboration and resilience can transform setbacks into stepping stones. It's also worth noting that another community-driven memecoin, $MASSA, recently found a home on the Bitget exchange. Could this be a sign of things to come for $APU? What are your thoughts? Does Apu's story inspire you? Can a memecoin truly become a legitimate force in the volatile world of cryptocurrency? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below!
    • The price shown on the graph is the price after the IG's fee taken. That is the reason for discrepancy.
    • I am a relatively newbie. I have seen similar and also have seen automated closed position has a loss though the close price I have set was above the price I have bought. After about 6 months with a lot of mysterious losses though my closing price was above the opening price, I discovered this was because of the amount charged for opening/closing a position. This is right below BUY and SELL boxes on the right in very small font. This amount vary from  0.9 to 33 or more depending on the level of trading at the time you open or close. It also happens (god knows why it is set to be so, except that the trader is not watching) when there is a lot of buying and selling going on, like an important news has suddenly been out and the result was not the market expected. As a result, I delete all my automated BUY/SELL values before I stop trading for the day. Remember, the the software is set up to favor the IG, not the retail seller. That is why 70% or more end up in loss.
