Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

Powell has poured some cold water on further rate cuts and its a sea of red now!
A wobble as we bumped off 6700 or the start of some profit taking? Saw a chart yesterday that showed floods of retail money flowing into stocks at a time where institutions are starting to re-position. It's normally retail that ends up bag holding especially in the US where so much is leveraged/covered calls.
I'm going to take some profits in my SIPP - its reached my conservative target for the year and I'm a bit of a worrier!

Strictly speaking he shouldn't have cut at all and maybe he is half way sensible but its true we will continue to have excess inflation and so justifying stocks etc. over holding cash unless you need the cash then of course always take some profits :)

Theres actual movement on rates and then theres perception, forward guidance whatever. Trump continuing to undermine just about everything including the FED is how likely, I dont think DXY Dollar is bullish unless it trends above 100 but a pullback always possible, profitable if long term indexes are higher anyway.
Copper looks good and some people say thats a general market indicator, Dr Copper

Sold AU and all these things that tripled etc. should be far closer to a fall yet doesn't feel overdone. DCA FT100 or whatever index is fair imo

All the profit figures, write down your total debt and sober yourself up a bit maybe :p
Arknor you are in the wrong job .

Next year when Powell goes is when it gets interesting. If we believe the data US economy is strong and in no way are rate cuts warranted. I say IF, because you know Trump has undermined the data and that is a big problem going forward..
 
Mostly red but Intel doing its best to ease pain and a couple of my no hopers having good week USBC being example

And back in green again crazy how quickly market seems to move now.


I previously had a Halifax ISA and invested in UK companies - it was SO boring hardly any movement. Made more in last year on T212 than 4 years with Halifax

Falls getting quite significant now. Hear crypto is on slide too
Seems to me like it's just panic induced. The fed guy said something bearish earlier in the week and that's all it took despite good Q3 earnings in the S&P and stable macro. Last week of September is historically the worst week of the year. Buy the dip :D
 
Cryto been high most of the year so it being on the down isnt a bad thing.
this is a new cycl as the assets for all intents and purpose been accepted, so the question is how far will it drop, not as far as it has in past i suspect.

im still positive even though its dropped. but im on long hold for 1 asset and waiting for a time sell my other asset AMD, i purchased at the wrong time.. i just need a bit of good news... xmas maybe with new release details..
