In other news, we have another system switch. System sells NUGT at 47.76. With a buy at 49.90, this move was a loss of -4.3%. There really has been no clear, strong direction, so the past few moves have chewed up performance. System buys DUST at 20.47. The technical indicators look like this might be the beginning of a strong wave higher for DUST, as the Stoch and PPO have dual crossovers. Keep your eyes on the metals markets!

System continues to hold URTY, although technically, you could consider a switch. It's that close. I'll wait one more day to confirm, but it sure looks like the move higher for URTY is about over.

Good luck!

an ugly day for DUST today. Do you have an updated outlook on it?
 
DUST remains a hold. After the big down move, it's due a bounce. If it's down again tomorrow, it will likely get switched. TZA remains a hold as well.
 
Had emergency meetings, emergency presentations, and top executives to pitch to all day. Helluvaday. Just now getting a chance to post.

Obviously DUST was a bust. I would have bailed early this morning at the first sign of weakness, but don't want to sound like I'm Monday morning quarterbacking, so to be fair, consider DUST sold at the close at 16.94, a loss of -17.2% on this trade. Ugh.

I had time to make one trade this morning, and that was to buy a chunk of GDXJ at 44.94. Again, it was not perfect timing, but it looks like miners may be making another move higher after a consolidation phase, so I'm climbing on board.

NUGT/DUST is hard enough to trade if you have the time all day to watch it. Since I don't, I'm going to put the system on temporary hiatus, and concentrate on the stock market TNA/TZA system instead.

TZA remains a hold, and had a fabulous day, gaining +3.52%. I'm also holding SQQQ, which gained +4.30% today, so my portfolio is doing just fine, thank you. Also, as MaStA stated, SGMS rode a rocket today on massive volume, and ended the day up over 16%. Yowza. Where's my rake? I'm gonna need it.

Still think the market momentum is to the downside for a while longer. I'll wait for the Stoch (and maybe PPO) to bottom and turn back up before heading back into stocks in the TSP. Until then, I'll hang on to SQQQ and TZA, and make some money on the downside.

Good luck!
 
Oh man, interesting read. We all know it's coming...

The Bursting of China's Credit Bubble

"According to Garet Garrett in his book "A Bubble that Broke the World" Cheops employed 100,000 men for twenty years to build his great pyramid, "and all he had for 600,000,000 days of human labour was a frozen asset." Cheops's distortion of the Nilotic economy was nothing compared with the economy warped by the Chinese government today, which has overseen the construction of empty cities, unused airports, car-less highways and bridges to nowhere.

A notable difference between ancient Egypt and modern China is the ability to direct economic activity through the use of credit. The result today is a far larger scale of economically useless projects than the pharaohs could possibly entertain. Government-directed bank lending in China has financed mis-allocated economic resources to an extraordinary degree, artificially inflating the economy and leaving a legacy of useless property and infrastructure assets, incapable of generating income to service the debt incurred..."

I'm betting that the Fed will announce they will taper their tapering some and QE will last until sometime into 2015 - that should help provide more liquidity and pump the market well into 2015. We'll know soon enough.

Only if the mid terms don't look so good for them...
 
Don't know about you Mr Ross, but I'm feeling pretty good about locking in early March profits then fleeing to G-illigans Island.:cool:

Yessir. Waiting for a bottoming pattern, then back in I go. Rinse and repeat.

I'm also building a nice selection of hot stocks that are taking a rare dip, and will squeeze the trigger at the appropriate time. Good, beaten down stocks do exceedingly well when the market is on the up-swing.
