Random Ideas & Thoughts On Stock Market Investing 2019

We are entering a new paradigm; get used to forever QE, though it will be given other names along the journey to make it appear more palatable. The US and, by default, worldwide debt is set to soar to preposterous levels; if a national debt of almost $22 trillion is shocking to some, imagine how they will feel when the debt soars to $100 trillion.  Market Update Feb 28, 2019

If you shook your head vigorously when you read the above statement,  print it, put it somewhere you can easily access, and then review it a few years from today.  You will be unpleasantly surprised to see how much the situation has changed; the masses are not paying any attention to the national debt.

Central bankers

Have become very adept at deflating a nation’s currency while maintaining the illusion all is well. This is achieved by subsidising key industries, using a basket of goods that (and the sectors these goods originate from are usually the ones receiving massive subsidies) paint a false picture regarding inflation and, most importantly, they control the media.    Let’s briefly look at some of these subjects today.

Now the markets are pulling back (Aug 2019), and we are getting triggered into some of these plays. Don’t let market volatility change the angle of your perception. The masses complain about better prices when their wish comes true; they panic and flee to the hills, which they call investing. They either oscillate between misery or euphoria and have a dangerously short lifespan.

We are content with the market’s current action as it’s letting out a dose of steam, and so should you. This action flushes out the weak hands and provides the market with the energy necessary to overcome serious resistance zones. Fiat Currency: Instruments of Mass Destruction

Random Ideas  on Retirement 2018 

The world will end, the US dollar will crash, Gold will soar to the Moon, and Pigs will fly over it. Well, we added the last bit to throw in some humour. Are you not sick of the stories about how things are only set to worsen? If you add all the proclamations these so-called wise men made for the past 100 years, the world should have ended several times over.

It has not been pointed out that all those wise pundits were wise only when compared to the reliable donkey.  Life is concise, and most people spend a vast amount of time focussing on what was, what should be and what could be. How about trying a new approach; enjoy the moment, for that is all you have.  If you have a decent roof over your head, money in the bank and food, you are infinitely better off than over 50% of the world. Let that sink in for a moment. Anything more than that pushes you even further up the rung of well-being.

Random Ideas on Mass Media Pushing a False Narrative

The sad fact is you don’t even need half of the ridiculous figures experts are pushing because even at ¼ of the stated figures surpassing one million, most of the world’s population stands no chance of achieving the stated goal. Like everything mass media and experts push, the stated goal is to get the masses to buy into the lie they are selling and sow the seeds of doubt. Doubt then gives way to fear and paranoia; the rest, as they say, is history.

How do people get their info? Don’t they see the world through a prism? What is this prism for most individuals; TV and Mass Media?  What if the intention was to give the masses the wrong image or ideas? Therefore, no matter how hard they tried to solve the problem, they would fail, as they would be analysing the wrong data. Think of Pluto’s allegory of the caves.

Blue represents the index etc., and was just added to the list; hence no results are available.  Invalidated means that the positive divergence signal on the hourly or daily charts is no longer valid depending on what column it appears under.

Negative divergences: A yes means it has only occurred on the hourly charts unless otherwise specified.

Closing the discussion on Random Ideas

This analysis provided us with some rather valuable information back in June, and it was one of the reasons we stuck our necks out and stated that the Dow would most likely go on to put in a new series of highs.  In June, almost all the issues examined above flashed positive divergence signals on the hourly and daily charts, and most of them are trading significantly higher now. However, look at how the picture has changed now. Almost all of them flash negative divergence signals on hourly and daily charts.

We, therefore, believe that the current sharp pullback is a fake trap for all the dumb money and that we should witness a rather massive short squeeze in the not-too-distant future that might push the Dow to a new all-time high. It’s then when everyone is feeling smug having so easily forgotten what took place in the months of May and in June, that the markets will be ready to embark on a brutal correctionMarket update June 14, 2006

We believe there is over an 81% chance that the market has now put in a tradable bottom.  Market update on June 20, 2006.

The situation looks bad; the crowd is frothing, the Market pundits are spewing negative news constantly, and it looks like all hell could break loose at any time.  We must remember the proverbial old saying that markets usually climb a wall of worry to which we add the following and crash down a cliff of Joy.  Since everyone appears worried, we must remain calm and study the action carefully.  Our analysis reveals that the best stand is to stay bullish for nowMarket Update, June 28, 2006.

The Dow needs to break past 11220 on excellent volume and stay above this mark for 9 days. If it can do this, there is a very good chance that it will test its old highs and then go on to put in a new all-time high.

We believe the NASDAQ will be the biggest gainer when the markets enter the full rally phase—market update August 1, 2006.
