Be cautious. This is the same rally as last end of month which got squash at the mid of next month. We are still heavily dependent on data.
yup, bought a little bit of IWDA tonite at $73.xx . Will stop soon and let the rally play out or fizzle out...

SSB results came back, 2.71% very attractive but managed to get $18k... so not as oversubscribed as I thought it would be. Looking forward to next month's SSB at 2.9%....

It is a trap .
Last night, Dow open. Then 938pm onwards, just go down and down

1H 2022 is done. What's there to stimulate 2H 2022? End of covid?

this is one of the most orderly bear markets I've seen. the downtrend is so smooth, no surprise that everyone is predicting that it will continue.

While I will still be buying a little bit each week, definitely need to deploy some cash to safer investments. I maxxed out this months SSB at $18k and will try to max out for next month. I've also been buying Astrea A-1 bonds - remember that they have reserve accounts which increases their 'safety'. Astrea V already 40% filled start of this year...

if all the dip buyers have been burnt and are now staying out of the market, I think we are not far from the bottom.
When all the dip buyers are staying away, the price would drop pretty fast right? but the price seems to be holding pretty tight and not breaking through.... just a naive observation which is 99% wrong... :LOL:

hard to tell where the market is heading. am surprised at the rally. I will still need to do my regular DCA this month to reinvest my free cash flow, which I have no problems doing since valuations are quite reasonable

US market still bearish, short term rebound along the way inside the downtrend channel.

The fact that we dint touch 3600 even on an intraday basis, tells me we are slowly heading higher towards 4150.

Btw I don’t care whether it goes up or down, theta works for me.

I think the current problem is the fx. It is very difficult to judge the fx. Another headache to even try to consider. And, I am not very good with fx.

As for commodities, especially oil and gas price, it has substantially been sold down. Looks good if this continue/stabelize. I do think the idea wherether recession or Russia driving oil and gas price hugely is pretty bullcrap. There is certainly some price due to Russia. But not that huge.

Previously, I predict the oil price to only go down to 2019 oil price by 2 years. But it seems the acceleration of rig counts has been slowly increasing. This seems good. The main problem is the pricing of Russia. Where will Russia oil goes? And how much can you even price the loss? If so, we should see the oil price to be 2019 oil price + certain oil price due to Russia within 2 years by late 2023 if the rig counts increases at the same pace.

Another joke is Boris and UK. What a greater joke than Russia for this year. UK is a Clown.

If by fx you mean usd strength then I agree with you, many US MNCs like Microsoft already warned about fx headwinds some weeks ago, this earnings season is probably going to be bad, but fortunately what goes up must come down eventually... dun see USD going to the moon while all other currencies go to zero.

I did my regular VWRD/LSPU DCA today.

No idea what to do and no conviction on short term direction, so I'll just DCA to use up my free cash flow.
