Looking back @ 2008 & hopes for 2009 !!!!
Now that last day to book loss/gain is over for 2008......we have a complete picture of where 2008 ended.....Following are the numbers......:
Dow @ 8515.55 Down from 13494.30 a loss of 4978.75 or <36.9%>
S&P 500 @ 872.80 Down from 1488.01 a loss of 615.21 or <41.34%>
Nasdaq @ 1530.24 Down from 2697.77 a loss of 1167.53 or <43.3%>
The above losses took a HUGE toll in equity of all investors/traders.....as one can clearly see that there was no place to hide....so if you were lucky to be in Dow index your loss was 36.9% but if you were in Nasdaq index your loss was 43.3%.....add margin leverage or 40 times leverage of hedge funds.....then you are looking @ total wipe out or OWING money.....NOT a pretty picture @ all......
Majority of loss was incurred from June onwards...so it was a relentless downward dive in markets in the last seven months.......
We are 234.76 above lows in Nasdaq or +18.12%
We are 131.78 above lows in S&P 500 or +17.8%
We are 1123.28 above lows in Dow or +15.20%
It is important to understand what was the reason for total collapse in Equity in 2008......it was deleveraging of uncontrolled GREED which caused the financial system to UNWIND to non-operational level...NOT anticipated/predicted by Fed,ECB,Investors,Traders,Hedge funds,Banks or anyone with any financial know how......
Did we LEARN anything from 2008 FINANCIAL TSUNAMI......????
Yes ...it was a BITTER pill to swallow by proponent of FREE MARKET......which became RAMPANT with PROFIT @ all expense......
Credit was abused by millions which is ending in total collapse of housing prices in US & Britain which COMPOUNDED credit availability as equity evaporated from Houses & Stock Market.....
So...majority are facing HORRENDOUS liability & no equity to tap......a recipe for disaster in any economy.......thus a COLLAPSE in stock market......as economy is SEVERELY CHOKED UP......
So Economic FALLOUT became very evident to everyone as we close 2008 trading in Stock Market......as stock market is a great predictor of future equity prices.....so 40% SLUMP in equity prices in 2008 was NO accident.........
So .....
How about 2009 equity prices.......
Fed,ECB,China,Canada,Middle east are all PUMPING money to JOLT the economy out of COMA.........
DO they have chance to UNFREEZE credit?
DO they have MEANS to KICK START GROWTH in economy?
Will stock market RESPOND to resolution of CREDIT issues?
Will economy GROW again?
Will company start GROWING profit again?
The answer to all of the above is a confident YES !!!!!!
I am looking @ 2ND half of 09 as the time for GROWTH.......in world economy !!!!It will be a simultaneous GROWTH in GDP worldwide in 2ND half of 09......
As we all have learned that stock market ALWAYS predict next 6 to 9 months AHEAD.....so we MAY be sitting on a MAJOR turnaround in markets.......
I am positioning with ETF strategy to take advantage of UPCOMING turn UP in markets .....as I feel individual stocks are still VULNERABLE to market WHIMS & ANALYST game playing????
Please do your OWN due diligence & find your OWN comfort level with ETF or STOCKS.....
Here is my sector focus & $ allocation in ETF:
HOU.TO...ETF for Nymex Crude 9.9%
HQU.TO ETF for Nasdaq 100 19.6%
HMU.TO ETF for world mining & gold stocks 45.8%
URE ETF for commercial real estate 24.7%
Plus I am SHORT US$......
The logical question is ...WHY we did not get Christmas rally????
You CAN give full credit to Mr MADOFF who put the final nail on the stock market coffin by swindling to the tune of $50+ billion when deleveraging was almost complete......
As most participant have extremely LOW expectations of stock market & PESSIMISM is extremely HIGH about economy.......we are all set to move UP SHARPLY in 2009 !!!!!
Some other ETF worth looking @ are :
PKB,UYM,QLD,TAN,UYG to name a few among thousands of ETF by Proshares.Claymore,
Wisdom tree,Morgan Stanley etc.....MSNmoneycentral & smartmoney has ETF section to do some research......
Good luck on your OWN homework.

1% loss on most indices????
Markets were NOT in a mood to start any rally today.....Giving back 1%????
The question IS.....
Will Santa show UP on half day trading????
Market have given UP all of its recent gains?
I think most traders/investors are taking a well deserved wait & see attitude before buying.....
Sometimes the best opportunities are in a boring & dull market...which seems to be the case in the last 5 trading days when Dow has gone down.....
I still believe that we are forming a higher low & getting to higher highs...without the EUPHORIA...which IS a good thing... for those who are buying with CONVICTION & STRATEGY...NOT same old ...same old approach!!!!!
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
Sincerely hope that you are all set for the SPIRIT of Christmas..which is SHARING with loved ones!!!

Losses around 2% in Nasdaq & S&P 500.....
Dow was the best index today after NASDAQ led the way on the downside followed closely by S&P 500...about 2% loss.....
Most sectors were under pressure thanks to analyst orgy of multiple downgrades......
By close .....indices recovered somewhat but decliners led the advances by 2 to 1.....
Only 1.5 days of trading left before Christmas day......
We MAY see a quiet rally taking hold before Santa comes to town.......

Fear index VIX @ 44.93..lowest in many months??
The much trumpeted fear index VIX closed @ 44.93 from a closing high of 77.39 a drop of 41.94%..when economic news are going from bad to worse...????
Common wisdom should have taken VIX above 100 to all time high since 1987....but it is NOT...
So..... what is VIX signalling to those who still believe in OPTIMISM about life in general & everything in it...including pursuing an exposure in equity...
VIX MAY be an index which will give us an indication of how high we will go from the lows if we just factor the % drop in VIX from its high.....
The gain in stocks MAY NOT come in days or months but certainly in long term approach.....
Currently we are STARING @ the biggest BARGAIN which IS WAY STEEPER than the CRASH of 1987......
BUT...the confidence in markets are so LOW thanks to SEC not doing their job..that FEAR is ruling our RATIONAL mind.....
But CHANGE is COMING to SEC......
Mary Shapiro is the new SEC designated chief...who will change INACTION into some serious CHANGES @ SEC.....
Free hand of one way MANIPULATION MAY come to an end in stock exchanges....which will bring confidence/money into stocks...
All these POSITIVE changes from ARROGANCE to CARING for the little guy & INTEGRITY of financial systems are only DAYS away......
Jan 20Th is only 21 trading days away.....when Obama will hit the ground running with 3 million Jobs programs on Day ONE.......
I am expecting a major RUNUP in markets into his taking office.......
I still believe that DOUBLE ETF is SAFEST way to play this market....
I PRACTICE what I PREACH......
Here is my allocation currently :
HOU.TO Crude ETF 21.4%
URE Real estate ETF 20.8%
HQU.TO Nasdaq 100 ETF 17.1%
HMU.TO World Mining ETF with heavy emphasis in Gold 40.7%
As you can see that even in Double ETF..I am broadly diversified.......to take advantage of MANY sectors....Because one NEVER knows which sector will take off first or by how much...
Please do your OWN due diligence & ensuring your OWN comfort level with your OWN strategy.

White House made the right decision on Autos !!!
White House ended up making the-best decision for Autos...which removes a BIG overhang for the market.....
Today's Option expiry is putting pressure on most stocks as.... MM try to KEEP stocks in their preferred strike price...a usual practice NEVER investigated by SEC.....
Markets are giving up most of the gains thanks to OE......
Crude hit the lowest level in many years today below $34.....today Jan contract is EXPIRING and Feb contract starts on Monday where prices are MUCH HIGHER.....so today COULD be the last day of CHEAP,CHEAP CRUDE.....
US$ is higher today..so I am red in my US$ short.....
In my ETF portfolio :
HOU Down 3 cents
HMU unchanged
HQU UP 15 cents
URE UP 19 cents
@ 11.47 AM following are reen in my watch list :
RIMM(higher guidance than consensus),AAPL,

Madoff "indigestion" almost discounted.....
Market was given another reason to sell today..Madoff was reason 1 and Fed decision reason 2....
Madoff is a classic evidence of SEC not doing their job.....they are first to IGNORE complaints & last to KNOW officially.....
Fed is all set to bring the fed funds rate to lowest level in history.....this should help economy to recover faster......
NASDAQ is weakest & Dow showing relative strength along with S&P 500.....Green close is very much in the cards......

Markets have come a long way from deep BEAR !!!!
Markets are giving every signal that 17 month BEAR tape is coming to an END????
Why is it coming to an end?
Because....
After 17 months the whole world KNOWS & HAS seen the depth of this recession....
CHINA & INDIA are also showing SLUMP in their economic activity with their latest economic data.....
CHINA,INDIA,ECB,US are all aggressively involved in STIMULATIVE activity...CANADA is all set to join in stimulating their economy on Jan 26......
With all the Stimulus in-place we will be LUCKY to see China GDP growing @ 6%,India 5%,Canada 3%,US 2% & Europe 1% in 2009...
SO...all the world economy is in RECESSION now......@ the same time.....
They are all stimulating various sectors with INFRASTRUCTURE being the biggest beneficiary....
This focus on infrastructure will boost all commodities which has been beaten down......including GOLD & OIL.....
Any equity position taken must be done with serious due diligence as individual stocks will be pressured due to ongoing negative growth in next 2 Q....
That is the reason..I have favoured ETF in many sectors ..they all trade in Toronto....
Here is my sector focus/weighting:
HFU.TO all Canadian Banks & financials stocks long 12.5%
HOU.TO Crude oil long 25%
HMU.TO World mining stocks long 25%
HSU.TO S&P500 index long 12.5%
HQU.TO Nasdaq 100 index long 25%
Except for Crude ...I am UP in every ETF....
Plus..... I am short US$.....which is working lately but down overall in this strategy as US$ has been super strong since July...but is faltering NOW and has broken 50DMA support......
Markets are looking ahead to recovery in world economy NOW...so a diversified ETF strategy MAY be the-best......
Pay close attention to sector movement.......that will give you the clue to profitable trade/investment...
MOST investors/traders have been burned by this relentless bear including me......BUT that is NO excuse to take a pass on the market NOW......when things MAY work out and may RECOUP some /most of the loss.....
Good luck on your OWN due diligence...remember it is your hard earned money which you will NEED in future.....

S&P 500 had a range of 35.90 points from high to low.....???
Auto bailout uncertainty played a major role in PM slump.....
Decliners lead was 3 to 1 on NYSE & NASDAQ......
Auto bailout decision by congress will impact the markets on Friday......Market HATES UNCERTAINTY on any issue Auto or anything...the longer it drags out market will be impacted negatively.....
Market wants to build on its base ....but politics IS getting in the way????
I am comfortable with my Double ETF strategy..as it is broadly diversified...so hopefully some sector carries the day for me...like today when Oil & Short US$ was productive which gave me gain for the day......despite market SLUMP !!!!!

Indices gave back 1.55% to 2.72% @ close !!!
There is celebration from some pundit that market gave back from 1.55% to 2.72%.....advocating taking profit after each day of gain IS not proving to be a wise approach as markets have been UP majority of days......
BRCM,TXN warned and were UP nicely.....NSM missed by a mile and is UP sharply...all this in a day when all indices were down.....????
As I have mentioned many times..."listen closely to the message of the market"......when stocks go UP on bad ER & WARNING....it is time to take notice.....
AG were UP on bad tape ????
Shipping stocks were UP on bad tape????
Gold UP on bad tape?????
It is time to IGNORE TV pundits and start your OWN game plan......
Carter Worth Oppenheimer's technician is seeing positives in this TAPE.......
Instead of chasing stocks on a daily basis .....develop a long term plan !!!!
I AM sticking to my ETF plan......as they are ridiculously cheap!!!!

Why Market is defying "BEAR thesis"???
Markets is DEFYING all popular theories by BEARS that we are heading to 4,000 on DOW or 400 in S&P 500....???
Why market is NOT listening to the COMMAND of Louise Yamada,Carter Worth & Perma Bear like Elliott Wave theorist....
You KNOW WHY......???
Because Markets does NOT listen to anyone and TRAPS everyone with their trading thesis into HUGE LOSS......
BULL lost all their money on the way DOWN in the last 16 months.....& I am seeing the same thing happening to BEARS NOW......
Next 16 months will be an improving markets with confidence building GRADUALLY so all the BEARS are WIPED out over & over again.....it IS already happening that BEAR case is NOT working out.....as we have NOT made a NEW LOWS since NOV 19Th when Dow hit 7392.27...Friday Dow closed @ 8635.42..a STUNNING 1243.15 move UP or 16.8% UP move in 11 trading days......
If you look @ Chart of Dow it looks like we have made a TRIPLE BOTTOM from the LOWS which was NOT evident in previous rally attempt......We can see from Dow chart that we have a very well defined HIGHER LOWS forming..an ASCENDING PATTERN.....
Based on the CURRENT DOW chart it is NOT impossible to challenge Dow 10,000 before hitting first resistance.....so another 1300 Dow point move IS PROBABLE......which will take DOW into serious BULL camp with a 33% move UP from LOW.......
So....you can be NEW PERMA BEAR and start short position and take the LUMPS
OR... relax and ENJOY the ride to DOW 9999......
I do not have to convince anyone HOW to position in this market...
BUT..... I am FIRMLY in BULL camp with my 4 ETF......
It is IMPORTANT to FOLLOW the TAPE @ this JUNCTURE as we move into SOLID BULL market .......
FEAR,DOOM,GLOOM & DESPERATION is hitting its LOWEST point NOW which IS a SOLID contrary indicator for DOW to LOOK AHEAD to BRIGHTER /IMPROVING FUTURE......
I personally believe that DOW has DISCOUNTED all the BAD NEWS about economy...what IS KNOWN/PREDICTABLE...... never DOUBT Markets ABILITY to look SIX to NINE months Ahead...a reverse TAPE from JULY 07......
So.....making a BULL bet @ this stage MAY be extremely PROFITABLE$$$$$

Market defies common wisdom by closing UP !!!
Market were suppose to tank below 8000....so all the so-called smart buyers can buy @ attractive level.....
Guess what.....so-called smart buyers ended up buying near higher end of the trading range....
Also ....shorts were sure that we will test the lows again.....so they are wondering this weekend what to do now.......????
I guess short covering will be the order of the week......
Market is all set to go to higher HIGHS......
By 10 AM Saturday,I will list technically weak,strong & buy rated stocks.

Markets Down 1.05% to 1.76%...So far So good!!!
Markets are taking the Doom & Gloom of 533K job loss in stride......
When GLOOM is this THICK.....Markets take it as a CONTRARY indicator...means we are in a TROUGH of economic cycle.....which may indicate that economic despair is hitting its LOW point...
Close should be of great interest to me to see which way Hedge funds/Institutions are placing their bets.....
Oil continues to hit new LOWS....Last trade $41.51...It Must help boost confidence of consumers worldwide...

HOU Down 30 cents

Lot of talk about hedge funds impending selling of stocks of TWO Billion $......which market should be able to absorb ...as we trade in several trillions on a daily basis....but it IS being reported as an UNUSUAL EVENT????

All the economic news from factory orders,industrial utilization & job cuts are signalling the low point of this deep recession.....we are in a TROUGH cycle now.....
More bad economic news on job loss is expected before open on Friday....no number like 500,000 will shock this market..as it is all expected...the worse the number ....SPEEDIER will be the recovery.....
Loss on index range from 1.03% to 1.30%......
All my ETF are down....
Crude is hitting new LOWS again...great for stimulating world economy!!!
In Canada political turmoil was avoided by Governor General granting suspension of parliament till 26Th of Jan....this will help in building consensus for Stimulus & Budget after President Obama is sworn in & implemented his own Stimulus & priorities.

Indices closed Down 7.7% to 8.95%..in one day...
Market surprised everyone including ME by giving up almost half of its gains from last week in one trading day.....
What caused this major SLUMP.....???
-Overbought conditions from last week..
-Short selling got momentum on weakness...
-News of recession started a year ago...
-PMI weakness in China was played up in media...
Add all this up and you have a very NERVOUS tape...SELL first ASK questions later was the MANTRA.....
OR
Was it just the TAPE we should be used to by NOW.....the answer is probably later...It IS just the type of TAPE these day's.......
In my portfolio :
Sold HXU.TO & HJU.TO

All Indices DOWN 4.55% to 5.5%.....
Markets are pulling back for many reasons.....
Pullback is happening after a HUGE 20% RUNUP in past 5 sessions.....
Economic news from Japan & US were not helpful either......
Most sectors are taking it on the chin today.....
Canadian politics is taking a huge toll on TSX as current Govt is being forced out by opposition with NO CONFIDENCE vote on Dec 8th.... TSX is down 712 points.....a drop of 7.7%....
All my ETF are down sharply......
OIL is down sharply..struggling below $50....
Let us hope that close is above LOWS of the day.....
