We look at Bonds, Forex, Commodities and Equities. At the moment Stock Markets are the most interesting, providing the biggest conundrum for traders and operators.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that Fundamental analysis is flawed (by not taking into account sentimenrt), and that most Economists get it wrong. A far more sensible way to look at the markets is to work out what the trend is, and stick with the trend, then do your best to spot (as early as possible!) any changes in trend.<\/p>\n<p>One thing we\u2019ve learnt over the years is that the market usually tops out when most people are getting bullish, and dashing in to get long, afraid to miss out. In other words when people are getting greedy. This could definitely be applied to Gold at present, and probably also to Equities!<\/p>\n<p>The opposite situation creates bottoms and emerged in March when Equities bottomed out\u00a0 &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Fear gripped the market and everyone ran for the door. We didn\u2019t. We took a step back, and realised that many in the market had given up, that there were plenty of doomsayers talking the FTSE down to 2500. Our analysts said at the time that the market was nearing a bottom. In fact we said it on CNBC, so if you don\u2019t believe us click below link to have a look.<\/p>\n<p>There is a saying that \u201cHarry Hindsight is the best trader in the world\u201d, and we would suggest that if anyone says \u201cI got long back in March\u201d ask them to prove it!<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks we have been concerned that this up move is coming to an end, and despite the fact there is usually a \u201cSanta Claus rally\u201d we are still erring on the side of worrying about downside risk. We really haven\u2019t gone very far since September, if you take a step back and look at things.<\/p>\n<p>I used a Warren Buffett line last week in one of our reports and it sums up quite well everything I\u2019ve said above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBe fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s done quite well out of it!<\/p>\n<p>We follow the trend, but are always looking out for when the market\u2019s psychology gets to an extreme.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to ask for a Free Trial by clicking the link below.
