Perry Kaufman "Trading systems and methods" It's more scientific than easy reading but is loaded with different ideas so that everybody might find something useful personally for him

I think this October action is just a part of a multiweek topping process for the broad market. Expect at least 10-15% lower levels for the major indices (SPX, NDX, RUT) during 2006 Of course there are always attractive investment choices. I'd accumulate XAU stocks on pullbacks.

Just in case if people worry about their money in regulated Refco entities- today i"ve received 6-digit amount on first request from Securities. So, "the patient is rather alive than dead"... :)

would buy the stock above 10/17/2005 high (36,24) with stop below 33,90 wouldn't impatiently try to pick a bottom as it does not look attractive to me from the risk-reward standpoint under the current market conditons...

chew, imho two things will eventually bring this marker down- 4-years cycle top (by the way the lower one for the first time since 1970's) and the yield curve which seems to be inverted soon

Interesting chart imho. 14-week RSI below 30 for the third time since 2000. Even during the 2000-2002 bear market this low RSI reading was followed by 40-50% rallies. Now were are not in the bear market, I would call it long-term consolidation for DD. Therefore, rally potential looks great...

I think the combination of CFA and CMT would be great. Not only because of the charters but also because of the knowledge you'd get during study process. When I decided to get CMT 2 years ago, my idea was just to put my previous TA knowledge in a good order in my head. But surprisingly, I've...

In my opinion yes there is such a justification for being short. It is well seen on the attached chart (look at vertical red lines). The reasons for setup are described on the chart. Extreme low in -DI only reinforces this idea. But this is only setup. Sell trigger would come on new lower low...

Until now I've been managing the whole pool alone. In order not to loose concentration I had to focus on the certain areas, which included major US ETFs (indices, sector, international), the most liquid Russian stocks and commodities futures. That's more than enough :) Of course, if our idea...

No, we don't work with Ukranian stocks. If you're interested I could check which of the major Russian brokerages work with them and give you necessary contacts.

jerryz- thanks for clarification :) first of all, we wouldn't like to accept money through PO Box anywhere, that's why I'm going to go through the necessary procedures to become fully legal regarding the need for "another fund", I know that American and European investors have a wide choice...

Prevail- thanks for the link, I'll check it Copernicus- maybe you're right and the good idea would be to contact one of the prime brokers' offices. I say one because I'll probably have not more than $10mio as seed capital and that wouldn't make sense to share it among different brokers...

Thanks for the starting point. Now I have something to read on the weekend :)

Hello colleagues ! It is highly probable that I'll have to start and manage an offshore hedge fund in a couple of months. But the problem is I am portfolio manager, not administrator and I am far from all this "paper work". It becomes even more serious taking into account I am working in...

I like www.smithbarney.com Investment Ideas/Portfolio Strategist You have to register there but it's free and you don't have to be a client. Until recently I enjoyed there Technical Reports but they fired the entire technical team :( By the way, are you sure you can access JPM and/or...

I find this ratio of semiconductor stocks to oil service stocks very useful for the long-term market projections and asset allocation purposes. Energy stocks outperformance is usually bad for the broad market, while the semis outperformance just the opposite. Hence, the SOX/OSX ratio may...

When the price continues to fall (making new lower lows) while OBV starts to show higher lows that means more volume now is attributed to the upside. Or in other words, people sell less shares when the price falls and buy more shares when the price rises- hence, the bear is weakening and the...

I am down on equity market "mentally"...Probably sometime in the long-term it will be down. But taking into account the current technology outperformance, I'm bullish on the market in the shorter-term, actually holding some longs in QQQQ and SPY... But only time will tell ! :) Good luck to all...

I would not think so if this few-months-long picture did not fit the long-term multiyear relationship. But look at this monthly chart of NDX: http://tinyurl.com/cobaf [/B] Every little swing in the NDX/SPX ratio coincides in time with the similar swing in NDX itself. Actually I am not...

I guess you're right and I am playing the market from the long side right now... But I'd have to admit that the long-term pattern is scary :( http://tinyurl.com/7azqb Actually, May close might be the moment of truth. If the bullish implications of the NDX/SPX ratio were enough to move...
