Birchtree's Account Talk

If the VIX breaks support at 22.50 I won't have to make any decisions whether to chase Ferdinand or not - I'll put on my New Balance and run in front of the bullish train. I'm certainly feeling the pressure to step up again and throw money down the well. I'm making good money but my gut is nervous - that's how it's supposed to work. If I had extra cash it would already be gone. I hate being patient but it's a learned discipline on the way to earning riches.

"Currently, the value of the indicator is 43.36%. Values less than 50% are associated with market bottoms. This is the lowest value since July, 2009."

"Shorts will be much more inclined to cover positions in markets that have recaptured their 200-day moving average, which can fuel a short covering rally."

"We may witness huge ranges on somedays, perhaps 500-1000 points in the DJIA. The possibility could even extend in the second passage of Jupiter conjunct Uranus in mid-September."

Perhaps no coffee cup for you today. You still do have a chance, as I will have a 10% F-Fund allocation that may let you edge up against me. Of course if we drop from here, you may fall further behind...

JTH,

What happens if tomorrow you get whipped with your S fund position - I'll wave as you float down.

 

[Birchtree]

It's a melt up - and the train is only 1/3 full - that means we can go even faster with less energy. Leave'em all on the platform.

Well if my timing is right, I'll be more right, if it's wrong I'll be more wrong. :cheesy:

 

[JTH]

Congrats, only 12 slots & .44% behind me and perhaps the closest you've been to me all year. Question then becomes will our allocation differences be enough to for you to pass me up. You're too close for me to gloat right now...

Birthday!?
Here's to a triple-digit gain to add a little icing to your cake!

Happy Birthday, Birch!! Many more.

Hapy Birthday

Today would be an exceptional birthday if I could rack up $50K. Why is consumer confidence higher in Germany than in the US? I'm looking for day #4 of triple digit gains in the Dow - that would get me there.

Happy B-Day Birch.... No lawn mowing today!!!

 

[eccougar]

For you younger folks - 63 ain't so bad. It is becoming more apparent that stocks went down in May and June for no reason. Just nonsense.

"The fact that we're over 50 on the RSI's, and add in the fact that MACD's are showing a strong impulsion higher, is really good action from a bullish perspective. If you hasd RSI's making the move, but the MACD's were not confirming, it wouldn't be very positive for the bigger picture."
