Since I'm out of the market until the new year I wanted to at least bring something useful to this thread. I found this table interesting.

Most economists (surveyed by BB) are bearish on WTI/Brent through Q3 next year. Check it out.

waiting for a possible buy on NAtural gas {image}
Hi everyone, this is a gem of a thread here, you can bank on seeing more of me here

I have just taken a short on Natural Gas despite most commodities (well at least the ones I have been tracking) going up.

Taken a calculated one on the Dow, added again and looking for the fall, could be 50/50, pundits talking the market up again, could be my last of the year, indicators looking like rejection, suppose we will see, impeachment looming, just another fly in the ointment, keeping it tight though, added entry 28297, D
EDIT
28270 to beat for a possible continuation, could close at any void point.

I have been monitoring the Trump impeachment saga in and out today and if he does get impeached (which I personally think will be unlikely) we could see the SP500 tank! Which would, of course, strengthed the USD, especially when you consider that Trump will no longer be howling or shall I say directly tweeting at Powell (Fed president) to lower interest rates.

The MXNUSD has been on my radar this week has a potential short, as I feel the USMCA deal has outlived its use as a catalyst.

So should Trump get impeached then I will definitely be looking for some shorts but I must reiterate, I think it is an unlikely scenario.

Hello CT and welcome to the thread, could you ever get a warmer a welcoming than Li's post, Ditto and thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts, D.
"Dongate" think (my own opinion) there is every chance he could, the'll take any legal opportunity to get him out, not that I would like to pass any judgement, it would be unfair as I'm not a resident under his command, I can only wonder what this will do for the people and the country rather than the politicians, D

I think the consensus is there's no way he'll be impeached by the Senate. The market sure isn't pricing that in... If that did happen I agree USD would stregnthen as a classic flight to safety trade, but impeachment probably raises the odds for further Fed easing so an impeachment isn't uniformly positive for the dollar. Bonds would be a better bet.

{quote} Thank you! I've been in indexes. I'm open to individual stocks, but I view them as riskier since so many things can go wrong with one stock whereas I have to be wrong about the economy to lose on the index. Your 191.7% return blows mine away. I've really got to applaud you for that, fantastic job! You've proven you're a great trader at this point, I think you should put more capital behind this strategy. It seems like you're destined to make a fortune with this strategy.
Ef, thank you for the compliment, really, at this stage, I'm just taking in my results with hope, yep, hope, I can continue, nothing is guaranteed as we all know, it cannot be beginners luck, been here too long so am I learning, yes, but only because I look at the charts for my answers and what they have on them kind of guides me, however, will take you compliment with both hands and thank you.
If you knew me you would know I'm genuine when I say it's a number as far as the account is concerned, if your account is moving in the right direction, we're all winners, my reason for showing the account, (I'm not a fan of the limelight), is only to back up the constant posting about the trades taken, while I've maintained the thread is not a signal service, I would hope the things we post are followed up by "looking" at the chart, plot some indicators, see what's happening at that point when it all goes right, and wrong, we try to give enough information while "in play" to the point of closing, we're giving the most important information away, the entry for free, use it while you can (not you personally) when the times up, it's up,all gone.
Making a fortune, wouldn't know what to do with it, would like to think I could make something of a career in trading, always been my dream, but the dream is not to be rich, the dream is being able to find a way of sustaining an income that I can pass to my children, I've experienced many bosses, I've experienced the disdain they show to workers, how their disposable, getting put out of work without ever knowing the effects it has on them, families suffering, all because the boss was in a bad mood "some one's going to get it today", believe me, I've been witness to this behaviour, the day will come when I'm not here and if my children suffer in this way, I won't be there to help emotionally, but a legacy that could help them financially, and I was that soldier.
Sorry to be so long winded and wasn't ignoring your post, D

Think oil is figuring in global demand, but the price will be the factor, too high and the world will look elsewhere, it was said around $55 was a fair value but it only takes one domino to change all that.

That's a very honorable objective to pursue.

I'm with you in that having a sizable account for the kid(s) is the primary goal. There's really not much I want that I don't already have, although a second house might be nice.

Very good point and probably why these forecasts are all sticking close to that $55 level.
