Stockexchange transactions

Sold all my PBR @ ~ 70.80
Looking to buy it back @ 65.50 - 68.50

Another funny debate with Peter Schiff :o)

Stocks...

Even EUR, GBP and USD have separated ways, the stock indexes - German DAX, English FTSE and Dow - moves as a packet...

Gold clearly overperform all "normal" stocks.

Not shown here, but from the beginning of the year gold overperform EUR, but not too much. Thats because gold corrected from $1,000 and is trading $930 at the moment.

Dow broke JAN low - update

Noticed how Dow do not crossed 11,500?
today high until now is just 11,485.25...

I believe the resistance is 11.6xx (see the previous post),
but looks like 11.500 is resistance now.

Dow broke JAN low - close

Note following:
1. Dow close bellow JAN low.
2. Dow close bellow JAN intraday low.
3. Dow close bellow MAY 2006 top - 11,670.19.
4. First important long term support @ JUN/JUL.2006 bottom - 10,683.32 . This does not mean there are no supports on the way down.

FED's day

FED... FED is in a box. They kept rates steady.

They can not raise, because will kill the stockmarket.

They can not cut, because oil and inflation will go through the roof. Remember, the inflation is not the kind'a inflation from 1970's, is because of those greedy oil companies, with their huge profits...
...but there are good news - they are smarter now. They know how to fix the deflation problem, only if they create enought inflation, but at the same time they need to look "hawkish", and speak what they are concern. As Peter Schiff say - If they were concern about inflation, they would not cut at the first place.

However, the marked cryed - CUT, CUT, CUT... Now, same people scream - RAISE, RAISE, RAISE... I guess same people screamed "Crucify him" almost 2000 years ago?

I say - buy gold now :-) or at least go out of the dollar.

Some still thinks there is a bubble, other expects ... $40 oil again.

Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BFB or BSE) migrated to Xetra. This was done several days ago, but today I have time to place an order there.

Lot of new "stuff" are supported, including stop loss orders. Xetra "stuffs" like Eisberg orders and Auctions are supported as well. Some exotic things I do not understand yet, but if I found them interesting will post them here at later time.

My comment:
Where electricity come from? From the plug :) ? No most of electricity come from Oil and Natural gas.
Guess what electric companies in US and Canada do night time? - Pump water to some mountain top, in order to release it during daily peak hour in order to meet demand. Well, now they will have huge demand in the night when whole city plugs his cars into the grid.

Airline sector

Airline sector compared to price of Crude oil: Similar to $USD, airline sector $XAL trading against the price of crude oil.


Airline sector technical analysis:Raise in $XAL is almost complete. Note the two lines are NOT parallel, so the figure may be a wedge instead of channel. In case of wedge, we may see price raise, but I do not think so, because there are resistance on $21.40, then on $23.49, then on $24.99...

Oil

WTI DaylyNice uptrend. Up now or never :)

WTI WeeklyWeekly chart is not as good looking as daily, yet it does not look like Nasdaq in 2000 :)
Oil need to correct soon or later. If it do, these are possible targets.

Oil via USO

USO chart, green dots show $WTI oil price,
the trend is up, maximum downsize (for now) is $WTI to be $125.
Currently price of $WTI is $126, so the chart really declined before going up again.
