Another excellent day, somebody was holding EU market until US close. Patience was rewarded ... Now, are we going to break trendline or we will recover and continue up, that is the question. I jumped into 7500 calls as a sideline bet, lets see.

btw. great day for me, I hope for you too

Again, Consumer Climate is improving to 6.0 (5.8 expected). Dax touched trend line. (see picture) I entered short dax 7285, closed 7268, before 8:30. I guess lucky, :-). I was happy with that otherwise running some loss that may not come as I already feel squeezing ... Dax 7290 atm, we...

Todays news positive, ifo, manufacturing, sevices ... US closed. DAX is still in bull mode but it shows some weakness, finally. Reasonable placed covered call (7500) should have made good money over past few weeks. I'm neutral, short term, shorts towards sub 7300. Upside 7500+. Short...

Agreed, it also took me some time to realize that ... mastacoli71 has too big swings, I was doing the same thing win/loss : +/-15% per week. You want to make 150k, it is 150%, you have 200 trading days (remainder holidays), you loose on 50 days max. 1% and you make 1-2% and you should get...

Bought 7100 puts but I do not like the price action so far so that I cut my loss. I'll be just glad when market comes down and vol picks-up, :D .

China rising IR. German Industrial Production -1.5% vs 0.2% expected I do not see the flow but DAX still holding ...

DAX almost 7300 German Factory Orders, -3.4% vs. -1.4% I guess, everybody waiting for correction.

Guess what, it is not going to be that easy ! As I said buy, buy, buy, DAX reached max. At first, I was crying that I sold after lunch time when DAX went above 7050 and I'm happy now. No profit this year, target 50% but will be happy with any positive result.

Btw. buy buy buy. We need to create boom to have bust in june !

Right, new year is here and market nicely popped. Mr. Mad Money is expectiing Dow at 13365, 15% gain. Given the pace we should be there is Feb, :-). I didn't look at DAX components but if DAX makes 15% we will have new highs, 8150+. Mr. Mad Money Dow top3 picks for 2011: #1 Alcoa #2...

Speaking of forex, I gave somebody christmas presents, I didn't realize that when enter into SMI (buy) and FTSE I'm going to be stuck in the middle of <ccy>/CHF war. I kind of deperately shorted EUR/CHF 125.11, :-), but went out at 125.22, obviously few hours before it went towards 124.50...

Hats down ...

I'm fighting with flu but, hey, did you observe that on 21st dec calls were already several days expired?

1) solved until we are close to payout 2) banks need to squeeze funding channels first (as they did with failed banks) - ECB provides unlimited liquidity 3) he is spanish, it is personal for him 4) American have nothing against it, they fund IMF, polititians see inflation as save us all...
