“11,000 points gained in the Dow in the 3 years since the Election of President Trump. Today it may hit 29,000. That has NEVER happened before in that time frame. That has added 12.8 Trillion Dollars to the VALUE of American Business.” @Varneyco @FoxNews The best is yet to come!

But he lags the democrats😁

"'Trump’s stock market rally is very good, but still lags Obama and Clinton"

"The Dow Jones industrial average has gained about 45 percent since Trump was sworn in nearly three years ago. The Dow was up about 53 percent at this point in Obama’s presidency and a whopping 57 percent in Clinton’s early years in office."

Probably, 

Dont forget to use a wide stop😉

"To summarize: while the range of returns across 1-year periods have varied from negative 37.0% to +53.2%, the annualized returns across 20 year periods have a much tighter range from +0.5% to +13.2%."

I wonder what my Grand father would have made of this.....he was trading shares in 1930....Supposedly made a fortune on the 1927 BULL wave....Lost his shirt in 1930..Made it all back and stuck it into other things instead....

Maybe he'd be wondering why people are stupid enough to still be doing the same sh!t almost 100 years later.

'Doing other things instead' - oh how I wish we could all do that and get free of the shackles of international financial capitalism aka 'the great swindle'.

So Friday ended up a downer for the indices after an entire day of going nowhere slowly, and the day-end candle is a bearish engulfing.

How anybody makes a 'living' from this voodoo cr@p is completely beyond me.  Unless they are working for Goldman Sachs.

In my experience...there are 3 types of traders....

1.  The complete geek , who uses a black box style , and operates sell /buy signals.....

2. Those who use technicals like a map, ...you feel where you want to be....and you use the the technicals to get in or out....like a road map...

...or number 3####

3. The pure gut feeling fundamental trader.....mostly out of the commodity markets who can actually work out each season the S and D of each commodity...

all 3 are equally  valid.....I used to work with a metals trader....used to trading copper, he moved to FX where I got to know him.....He was an experienced trader ....but he hated |FX ...It just did nt suit him....So perhaps you have nt found either the style or the market/s that you like....??

Interesting to note that WWI and WWII are still glorified as great victories in the old capitalist nations (especially England) that were part of the system that created the mass destruction of life in the first place, with on going repercussions to this day in the 'ex-colonies' like India/Pakistan and much of Africa.

I hate everything ...

Even traditional buy and hold investing is full of fraud and scandal. 

I'd love to see decent interest rates so we could go back to 'gold old fashioned' bonds which are used to fund productive infrastructure and business, instead of gigantic international swindles.

Friday turned out to be a day for profit taking after a strong week and now seeing price moving back up towards the highs. Friday's market profile showed the POC was stable and did not migrate lower through the day which would have been the case if there was new money selling.

Plenty of people over the weekend telling us on SM and forums that this was it (again), the market is about to dive lower. These guys are always wrong more often than they are right. The truth is that no one can predict the future so why do they even bother, something internal drives them to it and your best bet is to completely ignore all of it. The charts will tell you exactly what's happening, regularly review the charts from monthly down to H1, see what's really happening and look to tag along, don't bother trying to second guess and front run, there is no need.

that's true enough but I'm looking generally at the 70% of IG clients short the S&P, a figure that's been fairly consistent for the whole of the last year while the S&P was up over 28%.

"Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider."

Hindsight makes us all look like geniuses 😻

the question is though when a market is trending up why is everyone so keen to get short? It's some sort of mental derangement.

This from the SSI thread where I was making this same point a while back.

Price goes up and so retail goes short, price goes down so retail go long, price goes back up again and short they go. 

What is this strategy called? The 'empty your account in the fastest possible way' strategy. 🥳

    • Let's see. The market general market is in a downtrend though.. but some memes are not so bad. Been accumulating BOBO, APECOIN, BOMB after sighting them on Bitget memezone. Let's see how his unfolds.
    • Dear @IanClayton, Thank you for your post. Please note that these are not the same. The ETF with the ticker symbol NUSI (available on the platform) you are referring to is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective principally by investing in a portfolio of the stocks included in the Nasdaq-100® Index and an options collar (i.e., a mix of written (sold) call options and long (bought) put options) on the Nasdaq-100. We do not have NBS on our platform. Thanks, KoketsoIG
    • GX Uranium ETF (URA) Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Impulse for wave A (circled) Position - Wave (4) of A (circled) Direction -  Wave (4) is still in play Details -  A bearish impulse from 33.69 is emerging for wave A (circled) and we should see further decline. Overview of GX URA ETF   The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, is designed to reflect the performance of companies operating within the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms engaged in uranium mining, exploration, and production on a global scale. As nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a cleaner energy alternative, the potential for increased uranium demand grows, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on the sector's growth.   Daily Chart Analysis Analyzing the daily chart, the GX Uranium ETF completed a bullish impulse wave cycle in May 2024, reaching $33.69, up from $17.70 in July 2022. This represented an impressive gain of over 88% in 26 months. From an Elliott wave perspective, such a substantial rise is typically followed by a bearish correction. Since peaking at $33.69, the ETF has been undergoing a downward correction. Ideally, this would involve a three-wave bearish correction. Currently, the ETF appears to be completing the first wave of this correction, known as wave A (circled). After this wave concludes, a corrective bounce is expected for the second wave, followed by another downward move in wave C (circled), which will complete the corrective phase.   Alternatively, there is a possibility of a bearish impulse wave decline that could drive the ETF price back down to $17.70 or even lower. This scenario is plausible because the initial impulse sequence to $33.69 marked the completion of wave (c) of a supercycle degree within a larger bullish corrective cycle that began in March 2020. Given that both forecasts indicate a further decline, it is reasonable to expect the ETF to fall to at least $25 in the coming weeks.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the bearish impulse wave from $33.69 is still unfolding and is currently in wave (5). There is potential for further extension towards the $27-$28 range, where wave (5) is expected to conclude. Following this, a bullish correction for wave B (circled) could occur, providing a temporary relief before the next phase of the bearish correction sets in.   Summary Overall, the GX URA ETF's recent performance and technical analysis suggest that investors should prepare for potential downward movement in the near term while considering the long-term opportunities presented by the uranium sector's growth potential.
