"Never fight the tape & Never fight the Fed" ARE old saying...championed by many including Dr Marty Zweig.....
There IS lot of WISDOM in the above investing approach......
Some of us including ME believed too much in Fed...without realizing that this time it IS going to take a while before Fed ACTIONS will matter.....
As we were facing a "brand New set of issues"due to UNCONTROLLED greed..it was a HIT & MISS approach by Fed......
Sheila Bear was "right on the money" but BB & Paulson were ignoring her pointed approach.....
FINALLY with C resolution we are covering all bases by Fed,FDIC to deal with horrendous liquidity & mortgage adjustment issues......
Market IS taking "great comfort in seeing all the pieces together FINALLY"
In case IF you are WONDERING where IS the strength in the market coming from? especially when all the TECHNICIANS "threw in the TOWEL" and agreed in UNANIMITY that :
-Market is going LOWER to Dow 4000
-S&P 500 860 IS an impossible resistance
This just goes to prove that even the best minds gets separated from their $ with their WRONG conclusions.....
Markets has moved UP substantially since hitting INTRADAY LOWS which IS listed on Yahoo Finance :
S&P 500 low 741.02 Friday Close 896.24 +155.22 or +20.95%
Dow low 7392.27 Friday Close 8829.04 +1436.77 or +19.44%
Nasdaq low 1295.48 Friday Close 1535.57 +240.09 or +18.6%
Majority of the above GAINS were in last 5 days.......
SO......what IS the message of the market?
The message IS......
When everyone IS CONVINCED(Fundamental base or Technical base) that we are heading LOWER...then market TURNS UP on a DIME......
Most of US including ME were WRONG on the DOWNSIDE tape......BUT I can ASSURE you I will NOT be WRONG on the UPSIDE move in the TAPE......
I am fully invested with five different ETF......
Most of my ETF have participated in this RUNUP except Crude Oil.....which should JOIN the RUNUP ......
All my ETF are BULL Pro Beta means Double the ride UP.....
Here is my description of all my Bull ETF :
HXU.TO Toronto Top 60 Stocks
HOU.TO Nymex Crude
HSU.TO S&P 500
HQU.TO Nasdaq 100
HJU.TO Emerging Markets
I am looking @ adding one more ETF which will be in world mining stocks........
So....you may ask why ETF & NOT stocks???
Simple answer is ...that it is SAFER through ETF and individual stocks are still vulnerable to serious decline based on their Sales & Earning projections.....
These ETF are Double BULL...so upside IS tremendous......
Markets are looking BEYOND current KNOWN challenges.......It will NOT be WISE to keep looking in REAR-VIEW.....most economic numbers will be backward looking.....while Markets are ALWAYS forward looking & predict economy 6 to 9 months in advance.....
In case you are still not with me.....markets STARTED turning LOWER back in August of 2007 as it was predicting the ONGOING liquidity mess.....
So after turning LOWER to decades LOW in 16 months.....
Markets are looking towards UPCOMING economic RECOVERY !!!!!
So start your OWN equity RECOVERY program with your OWN due diligence about ECONOMY & how to play the CHANGE.......
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN !!!!

Markets are giving signal that old theories MAY not work anymore......
Too many investors/traders believe that we are going LOWER based on Bull/Bear ratios.....it is becoming a CONTRARY indicator......
If we close GREEN on Wed...all participant of this market will feel lot better @ thanksgiving time...which will build CONFIDENCE....
ETF is a great way to participate in the UP move based on your sector preference......
US$ continues to go down ...which IS also a BULLISH sign as FEAR is going away from Stocks & RISK taking is coming back in vogue...
VIX is also retreating to 60.9% or Down 5.87% on a MINOR UP .66% on S&P 500 move today...

Obama ,Economy & Stock Market.....
Obama being the president-elect is a major positive for the market.....
WHY???
He is BRIGHT...
He is coming with FRESH ideas....
He has the support of MOST Americans...
He can articulate his ideas in a CLEAR & POINTED manner...
He IS NOT WAFFLING about the ENORMITY of problems faced by the world & US economy.
His approval rating IS very HIGH.......
Also with Obama all the CONFUSION about Paulson CHANGING tactics will be gone.....TALK FIRST ......THINK LATER is NO WAY to deal with HORRENDOUS issues......
Paulson has single handedly made the problem WORSE by DENYING it FIRST & then CHANGING his mind many times about the REASON & SOLUTION.....on wall street CREDIBILITY MATTERS.....
Obama has already laid out a plan for creating 2.5 million jobs by end of 2010........
How many Jobs initiative did the current administration DID...answer ZERO & on the contrary they had plans to CUT more jobs in financial institutions like BSC,LEH & AUTOS.....a SAD approach to the worst crisis in history.....
Every initiative in current administration was last minute & reluctance was EVIDENT.....with partisan politics @ centre stage on TV......
Every investors/traders/citizens were sick & tired of TV talk with NO focus on SOLUTIONS.....field day for Photo OP with callous disregard to the welfare of US & the entire world economy......
NOW.....
The page turns to Solutions only.....
Already OBAMA has a plan to CREATE 2.5 million jobs......in next 23 months starting in Feb 09...
World & US needs a DOER & a real Leader...which we have in Obama...who can LEAD with ACTIONS......
Stock market should behave much better than before as CONFIDENCE will built from here..instead of reading how many jobs we are losing..we will hear ACTION for creating new jobs...
I personally like ETF for playing any UPSWING which may be coming....
WHY ETF ???
Because it IS a SAFER way to participate in markets.....
There are many ETF which has different sector focus....so it IS good to KNOW what is in each ETF......
So.....
We have Obama with Job action which will TURN the economy in a big way ...which will be GREAT for stock market.......

New Treasury Secretary news brings CONFIDENCE to markets !!!
Markets were hovering with RED when news of new treasury secretary Tim Geithner hit the wire.....& market rocketed UP to 5% to 6.5%...NICE !!!!
Markets were suffering from lack of confidence as treasury secretary appointment was CRUCIAL to bring confidence back to the markets......
As most of the issues on Wall Street ARE linked to Treasury being involved..so a working secretary from Obama administration was crucial in linkup & NEW direction.....
Monday President-elect Obama will reveal his cabinet....which will add to the confidence building process.....
I added one more ETF which is HXU.TO which is an index on Toronto Stock Exchange top 60 stocks..My cost $8.88.....Toronto exchange had the biggest drop on Thursday since 87 crash..I bought this @ 75.7% discount from its high of $36.56...it actually hit a new Low of $8.35 today...
I have two ETF now HOU.TO & HXU.TO....
By 10AM Saturday...I will list technically weak/strong/buy rated stocks.

Where IS the bottom ????
Markets sank to closing low in several years or even MORE than a decade......
Oil slumped to new LOWS....
Louise Yamada Technician NOT convinced that we are even close to any LOWS......she is predicting S&P 500 first to 600 then to 400......
New 52 week LOW list hit a more than CAPITULATION low of 1402 on NYSE & 1204 on NASDAQ......this SMELLS like a near term bottom to me...BUT what do I know.....
MOST stocks are trading @ levels even die-hard BEAR would NOT have predicted only 3 months ago......
Yes...there is recession in US & Europe..but most of the world is seeing GROWTH of as high as 9% in China & even India.......
Are financial markets too PESSIMISTIC......looks like it......
We have discounted most stocks to DEPRESSION levels...Is It JUSTIFIED????

DOW went below intraday 52 wk low......
All indices have made fresh new lows for the year......
Will technicians /traders/investors be encouraged to buy @ these levels.....
Markets are certainly deeply OVERSOLD.....so a technical BOUNCE will not surprise anyone.....
The problem is...that LOW begets new LOW...
Crude Oil is @ multi year LOW today.....some are hoping for below $50 close.....
Many stocks & ETF are @ new 52 wk LOWS today.....
My Crude ETF HOU.TO is Down 54 cents....

Traumatic close on Wall Street....
Markets are in total disarray....tumbling through all support on a closing basis & on an intraday basis......
Dow is only 214 points away from intraday LOW......
Downside volume was horrendous...57 to 1 on NYSE & 49 to 1 on NASDAQ....these extreme selling pressure could amount to MAJOR capitulation in normal BEAR market...but this IS between BEAR & DEPRESSION...so who KNOWS when extreme selling is really defined....
Most technicians,traders & investors got this market WRONG and proved to be TOO OPTIMISTIC.....as this IS a UNIQUE set of events UNFOLDING @ the same time......
Financials are hitting deep new LOWS...Not a good sign......
So...we all sit & WAIT for this market to TURN decisively......which MAY be months AWAY.....
Today Fed IS predicting slowdown till middle of 09.......
It MAY be WISE to take FEW months WAIT & SEE attitude......Feb 09 MAY be a BETTER time to see the DAMAGE in WORLDWIDE economy.......& take it from there !!!!!
I am staying with Crude Oil ETF as my LONELY position......

Will Dow HOLD 7773.71 ????
Dow tape was very NEGATIVE......as we closed below Oct 10Th which was 8451.19 and also below Nov 12Th which was 8282.66........
Dow is still ABOVE intraday LOW on Oct 10Th of 7773.71 & close of 8175.77 on Oct 27Th...Dow closed today @ 8273.58......only 2 points above Low of the day.......
What is the tape telling us ?
It is telling US that there IS tremendous FEAR which IS preventing the indices to make any GAINS.....
VIX the fear index closed UP 2.84 to 69.15....UP 4.28%.....
Technicals have NO meaning in this FEAR driven TAPE.....
No idea what this market IS waiting FOR.......
Everybody is CONFUSED including ME...as valuations are RIDICULOUSLY LOW...BUT NO BUYERS????

So...what happened to DOW 6000???
Many market pundits have been trumpeting Dow 6,000 or LOWER.......
So...why the markets are able to trade HIGHER from October 10Th LOWS????
Why..all the GLOOM & DOOM is NOT taking this market to LOWER LOWS????
I wish all the pundits on CNBC can ARTICULATE this in an understandable language...but do NOT count on it....
Nobody is called back on CNBC for making "STUPID predictions".......they do not have a show which is called "DUMB MONEY" or "HOW WRONG CAN YOU GET" or "CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS CALL"
Markets are certainly giving the SIGNAL that DISCOUNTING of all issues are coming to an END.......
As this is a once in a CENTURY phenomenon...there is NO pattern which anyone CAN follow...so the best strategy is LIMITED exposure in ETF with best potential SHOULD work out pretty good !!!!

World Economic FACTS vs FICTION????
World economy IS facing challenges like so many other times in history.....
What IS different this time that the financial institutions were acting like "house of cards"...no real assets but lot of bad debts which were HIDDEN.....this time it was NOT "off balance sheet items"but nobody was monitoring WORTHINESS of value of assets in balance sheet"
Worldwide there was neither MONITORING of real RATIOS...but there was a GO GO mentality towards real estate......which were OVERVALUED by minimum 25%......
Unlike depression era...there was a QUICK & COORDINATED response from all central banks around the world.....to deal with this "horrendous SPIRALLING out of control situation".....
Central banks told all banks to clean up their balance sheet ASAP thus trillions in write downs & shore UP their balance sheet with issuance of equity & preferred.....Central banks also assisted with overnight lending facility by accepting sub-par assets.....
Worldwide central banks have reduced interest rates to as low as less than 1% in Japan & 1% in US.......
G20 meeting agreed on solutions to most issues faced by world economy..including TIGHTER & CLOSE monitoring of banks worldwide......
Worldwide liquidity HAS improved substantially.......
Inter-bank borrowing rates have come down to historical levels as per LIBOR.....
Worldwide there IS focus on "stimulus package" to ensure GROWTH......
Credit squeeze/crunch caused a PANIC in equity markets as investors pulled their money out...thus hedge funds had to DELEVERAGE "big time".....thus avalanche of MARGIN selling TSUNAMI day after day.......
VIX came close to hitting 100.....an index of FEAR.......
There has been many meeting of G7,G20,economic power houses in China,Brazil & now in Washington...with one FOCUS only.....NOT only to DEAL with what CAUSED the current economic mess but to PREVENT it from happening AGAIN EVER....
With this LEVEL of FOCUS & many UNANIMOUS recommendations........which should be agreed & implemented in March 09.......things could NOT be out of control ANYMORE.....
Yes ....there will be many side issues like GM,F & Chrysler which WILL be played UP on CNBC for rating purposes & FEAR mongering......but in the scope of things those will NOT impact GDP in any meaningful way......US & world economy CAN easily absorb issues like Auto companies in US need to face REALITY......No business should continue unless their COST structure makes sense...that is economics 101......you do not make things which nobody wants......
Remember the days on CNBC when Oil prices was discussed every 15 minutes ...because it was going UP....now that Oil has come down over 60%.....but there is NO analysis of benefits of this drop even once a day?????
Oil drop is adding benefit in several trillions of $ worldwide...but NO in-depth analysis on CNBC..because it IS GOOD news......CNBC business is to talk NEGATIVE & inject FEAR to BOOST ratings 24/7.......
So .....things are falling in place with worldwide co-ordinated efforts...do NOT let CNBC to undermine this major accomplishment......
BUY & HOLD is NOT DEAD.......only STUPIDITY is IN on CNBC....which believes that stocks selling @ or BELOW book is NOT the time to BUY & HOLD.....cannot imagine a "more retarded statements being SHOUTED ON in every CNBC program"
If Stocks should be AVOIDED @ all cost as per CNBC then WHY are they on the AIR & serving whose interest????
By the way ..last time I checked China will grow 8% to 9% in 09
India the outsourcing capital of the world is expected to grow 6% in 09
So..who is happy to BUY in this environment Warren Buffett,Bob Doll & many value mutual fund managers..who are NOT daytraders and are not PAID to SHOUT hourly predictions for the markets on CNBC.....
Most value investors KNOW that this crisis is on its last leg and offer "incredible value".....I will hate to include Jimmy the Cramer & Macke in the same sentence as genius investors of the world...who CAN see through the current malaise and SPOT value for major long term GAINS..
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
PS...Electricity was gone for several hours in north of Toronto....so could not finish on time.

Market gave back 3.82% to 5% @ close.....
All the indices are living up to their reputation of VOLATILITY to the extremes.....
Up 7% then Down 5%......
This IS a definite sign of JITTERINESS near bottom......
This bear has already lasted beyond 13 months and HAS exceeded traditional 33% drop...
In case you have lost count ...we have been going down since August 07...when HIGH was 14000++ so we are down 40% @ 8497 on Dow......
I firmly believe that ETF will be a better way to lock any RUNUP which MAY come anytime ....
The biggest indicator of imminent RUNUP is that every commentator on CNBC is becoming PROPHETIC about the direction of each stock & market....on the DOWNSIDE......almost all of them are KNOWN to make majority of their calls INCORRECTLY?????
Yesterday one pundit from NYSE floor was saying on CNBC"WHO IS GOING TO BUY THIS MARKET...there are ONLY SELLERS" and we closed UP 11% from LOW......?????
By 10AM Saturday...I will list technically weak/strong/buy rated stocks.

S&P 500 moved UP 92.60 or 11.3% from Low to close..NICE !!!!
Markets were displaying textbook technical action...breach old lows & rally hard in a V pattern...
After everything is said & done..most indices logged on 11% gain from low or close to 7% UP on the day...NICE..NICE...NICE...
So where we go from here???
This rally is in anticipation of G20 meeting this weekend...which should hold until Monday....
Markets are discounting lot of issues with decisions taken already by major central banks.....this is a work in progress.......
INTC bad news was absorbed by this market NICELY with a green close in INTC & techs.....
Anytime we have a rally close to 20%...time to get DEFENSIVE....a good strategy may be to write covered calls near those levels.....so we have 7% rally with about 13% more to go......

Markets testing support AGAIN.....
Markets are RED all over.....
S&P 500 LOW today is 886.83 so far....well below 900....
Every sector is taking on the chin......
TOL & SBUX news was taken as an indicator of current state of economy.....
Market IS struggling with "real strength" of economy..so any negative news gets an OVER-REACTION from indices......
Current state of economy is UNIQUE as it has NEVER experienced de-leveraging of this magnitude....
Can we expect improvement by close?
I hope SO !!!!
Always an OPTIMIST !!!!

Markets looking healthier going forward !!!!
Market are looking healthier going forward based on many factors..some are listed below in no order :
Markets HATES uncertainty.....so what do we KNOW NOW....
That there is a serious credit crunch...
That world government have realized this problem...
Every world economy is trying to INJECT more LIQUIDITY in their system....
There has been series of coordinated rate cuts to bring the cost of borrowing down....
There has been STIMULUS package by many nations to boost economic activity....
Last night China's Central Bank Governor predicted growth of 8% to 9% in 2009 in CHINA..
China announced a stimulus package of $586 billion and promised to continue easy monetary policy....
US has a new President-elect Barak Obama whose election has been CHEERED around the world...
Confidence is slowly building for a long term resolution of systemic problems faced because of credit crunch......
When.....
So much IS known.....
AND...
So much is being DONE....
Markets will move HIGHER......
So where money CAN be made.....????
The sectors which have been beaten down the-most will recover FASTER......
Material sector has seen the biggest SLUMP and HAS discounted SLOWDOWN in world DEMAND......
Material demand is NOT going away...just @ MORE reasonable PACE......
Prices will START FIRMING as we go forward.......
DE-LEVERAGING has played its role big time......things have gone down too far too fast...NOW there is a need for EQUILIBRIUM.....means pendulum will swing back to a normal mean.....
Financials are going through their 100Th new 52 week LOWS...which SHOULD come to an END....this sector will RECOVER going forward.....No economy CAN prosper unless Banks/Financial institutions are prospering.......
There has been a major focus on "HOPE/CHANGE" with the recent election...it IS a HUGE confidence builder......
So .....all in all markets MAY start giving its THUMBS UP in a big way to all the steps taken & being taken to help world economy .....
After a long time I can CLEARLY SEE that markets will RESPOND to FUTURE which IS much BRIGHTER than few weeks ago.....
So.....do not hesitate to start a position after doing your OWN due diligence.....
Good luck with your OWN homework.....
TIME to step up to the plate !!!!

Election,worldwide slowdown will dominate news....
Markets are trying to show a brave face....despite worldwide slowdown in economic activity.....
India reduced lending rates again over the weekend after coordinated cut by most central bank......
Currently we are @ the epicentre of economic slowdown & job loss......
I am expecting November to mark the end of severe contraction in economic activity around the world.....
November....is going to be TROUGH......in industrial activity & then GRADUAL ramp UP....
So..brace yourself for negative economic news from everywhere......
I expect China to slowdown to 7% GDP growth far cry from 11%++ and 9.1% recently reported...
India is expected to slowdown to 5% GDP growth.....which is also much lower than 9% peak growth......
US will have 2 Q of negative growth...current Q & last Q......
So ...all the economic Gloom & Doom is hitting its low point NOW..........
BUT......
Market looks ahead to Jan Q GDP which will be positive.......
Stocks will look ahead to Jan growth and many stocks are already making an move UP in anticipation......
It will be profitable to have "reasonable exposure" in few strong stocks as evident from tape....
Oct 10TH LOW will hold.......
Markets will "resume normal trading pattern" vs crazy tape which we have witnessed recently..
What is a normal trading pattern......trending UP with pullbacks......
I am expecting US election to be a CALMING factor for markets.....as we will have a decisive winner....NO HANGING CHADS for bears to FEAST ON.....
Strongly suggest to pay close attention to tape and do due diligence by checking fundamentals CLOSELY.....
