Daily Positive thinking-
Its important to do some good daily, we spend days and weeks in daily routines and when time passes on we come to happy realization that times passed by, the concept of compounding implies to daily life as we focus on the investment world too. Its important to add little to ourselves informs of education, learning, hobbies, sport, languages. Over longer periods the basket of our holding is large. We are handling portfolios of our lives..its important to add to yourself. Idea is the hub and spoke model..we are the hub..the spokes are family, friends, career, people we meet, the society, the nation.

Double Top and the Bearish Cheat Rounded Top Arc on the current DJI (Dow Jones)
The current hourly's for the DowJones Wallstreet 30 are forming the long awaited bearish signal which is pointing towards a bearish trend for the next couple of days to close the large gap made at the end of Dec'12 thanks to the fiscal cliff saga and interestingly timely remedy reached by the US senate. In fact have been chasing this bearish move for a while and also been deceived by the rounded top move as seen, with a crazy 140+ point bounce from above the 200 moving avg (EMA).
Am looking forward to formation of cool bearish (currently seen) cross overs on the 1H, 2H, 30min, 15min, 10min charts using the Slow Stochastics and the MACD. I feel bit confident of this market down move occurring which gives us a cool 200 point profit scope on the down side for traders trading the Dow Futures / SPX500.
The Daily charts currently display the formation of a hanging man/ doji candle stick which makes me think we are headed towards closing the large gap mentioned above 13124. What made me post this was the urge to record this pattern and a execution mistake done ignoring the stochastic cross over upward using the slow stochastics while choosing to short at 13309 and being reprimanded by my boss but its a excellent learning which should help us great awesome profits...
cheers till then as I write quickly.

Market Outlook & Where to Invest in 2012
Guys its been a while well not exactly a while its been a year now as I write..lol !! well simple reason being laziness..well not exactly laziness..its my new trader job & the hunt for the better half mixed with unpaid salaries.. that kept me occupied well :)..
Ok quickly back to business bottomline bottomline bottomline....
Index : DowJones...I see 12,232 hasnt been broken for a while..we tried like thrice.... but frankly dont loose hope market noises already have been shouting that the US markets are a great buy..true or not lets have a look..my take for 2012 : Bullish ! keep your sights high for 14271 !!
Gold : Simple and straight look at 1423..yes buy gold cheap for whoever..urself or someone else..keep ur cash ready !
Silver: for the short term $24....long term $18...fundamentally consumption could keep it bullish especially Industrial..demand, growth are the drivers..speaking of emerging markets...guess slowdown is showing sights on India and China...overheating engines need to cool a bit to regain power to generate further thrust..looking at 1st quarter so actually..I'd keep loads of cash at every dip to buy these economies.
Crude Oil: Set sights for $120 and full your tanks at $80 simple isnt it !
Indian Markets in 2012: Expect cooling in the first quarter..and use this dip to see returns in the range of 40-100% depending on the sectors you choose I have mine in mind already ..need to raise some cash though :)
Rest keep it simple..dont get bogged down by people's noise (statement courtesy late Steve Jobs (RIP)) be objective..understand the crux of the movement....book your profits and minimize losses. Other major observation being..the markets have corrected over a larger period and are set for full thrust take off. The Double Dip blah blah seems passe' unless it actually happens and causes a market tank is still difficult.
If I missed to cover something else above and u are interested to know my view or discuss further please feel free to contact back. Appreciate your attention !
Wishing you a Very Happy & Prosperous New Year -2012

Whats the next level with Crude Oil ?
Ok so we are done with activity from the Fed QE2 was better than expected, the Fed has pumped in $600 bn which will be done in a phased manner $75bn a month..almost a cautious outlook. Activity all this while unexpected increases then decreases in Oil Stocks, Strengthening dollar, weakening dollar blah blah ....QE2 caused a weakened dollar hence rise in commodity prices, so we see that Oil was stuck in a range 80-84 and has now broken free, moved into a higher range..obvious reasons as mentioned above weakening dollar, explosion of intrinsic values across commodities..and welcome inflation too now with QE2. Result gold prices at an all time high, narrow yields.
First it was the Feds Action with QE2, then some action with Japan, China, whats the new hype in town ? now with focus on Europe with the European Debt back in focus pressurizing the Euro. Euro was expected to touch $1.43 which it almost did..we are seeing a stronger dollar for this week which is having its effect on Oil Pricing. Past two days oil has traded in a range between $85-87.70. A mellow down with this news, focus on Jobs, Oil Stocks, further economic action will decide the fate ahead. Once oil cross $87.70 expect a higher range $87-$90. But again on the day trading side past two days have been jittery, yesterday we saw clear up moves during the European Session and an opposite effect during the American session.
Today has been nuts bulls are low in confidence and stop hunters are having all the fun they can. $86.80-$87.00 is a narrow range its trading for now. Will get back with some charts too.
Happy Trading till then.. !

Nifty approaches 5600 levels (Indian Stock Markets)
US Markets are closed for Labour Day and there was no significant economic news coming in on the wires. Markets across the world including India were buoyant considering positive jobs data during the non farm payrolls and indications that US would avoid any chances of a double dip recession. Further President Obama indicated efforts towards the middle class and supporting the small and medium businesses.
Coming to the Indian markets things are positive and the Nifty closed 5577 for the day. Well in line with my previous targets 5541 has been broken and we are headed for 5600. I would consider the following levels in mind - 5547- 5567 - 5577 - 5595 - 5607
Any rally above these levels would lead to 5628 and 5645.
Stay green till then !

Brent Crude Oil Levels & Targets
So we are back to green, economic data's green again..hopes for recovery and avoiding a double dip recession from this picture. Today's jobless claim's will give further direction or take oil back to the hole. 76.10 is a strong support to watch for today.
On a bull run can expect oil to increase by a dollar upto 77.10 and further more during the day. Mean while short term targets should be 76.58 and 76.83. On the flip side below 76.10 can take it down to 75.50. Further you could refer my blog from yesterday here.
Rushing back to trade...
Till then..tc.

SnP CNX Nifty Price Targets (Indian Stock Markets)
The Indian Stock market has been on a run, buoyed with confidence and strong economic sentiment. Today was a strong rally supported by commodity and metal stocks, oil stocks too have been booming for now. Dollar took a beating to Euro though a weaker Rupee seems to be a strong reason for incoming flows.
Coming to levels 5467 is a strong support on the bull run further. For today 5488 was an expected top target on the Nifty and achieved positively. If the bull run continues tomorrow or this week, 5503-5513-5531 and 5541 will be the next highs in minds. Our bulls will have to gear up, though part of it depends on the incoming news this evening from the US markets. 5455 and 5450 need to kept in mind for a further downside move.
The RSI though quotes at 86.41 indicating bears may have to come in to rationalize the pricing. The rid may start to get a bit rougher in the days ahead.
Till then happy trading ..!
