Whats Driving the Markets

  • MY SPIDY SENSES ARE TINGLING

    Tonight is not so hot, but normally I keep a bath full of cold water, which I reuse. I take a cup or a mug and make sure it is only as high as the mug with water, the mug sitting on the bottom of the bath. I sit naked in cold water with my flippers on and diving goggles on, occasionally pouring cold water over me with the mug in the bath. I make sure I put the flippers and goggles on in the bath and take them off in the bath before I get out. What do you take me for, an amateur! You can choose the drinks!

    Enough of my acid sense of humour. The UK has a new Prime Minister, and sterling came off, plus gilt yields rose. With the Current war with Iran and America, oil is still elevated in price, and the risk to inflation means there is little wiggle room with interest rates for central banks. We suggest you keep an eye on food and energy inflation. Be interesting to see borrowing costs under the new Prime Minister and his cabinet; the market awaits his choice for Chancellor it will be interesting to see his choice. Lots of stories flying about but no hard facts about taking public companies private, so let’s be sensible.

    Sometimes you see a lone blacked-out carriage pulled by a team of horses. It’s a member of the Royal family who needs to feed. Scary or late at night, when all is still and dark, you can hear a ghost train, especially in Islington, London.

    One for the Prime Minister

    Homework: Daily Bar Charts 15, 30, 60 and 100 moving averages. Are they acting as resistance above the market or support below the market? Are they converging, diverging or crossing over? Trend Lines as support and resistance are they breaking out to a new support or resistance level or is the market being squeezed sideways in a triangle waiting for a breakout? Gaps: what sort of gaps are they? Patterns and Stochastics. We can expect continued volatility as the war in the Middle East rages and the new UK Prime Minister forms his Cabinet. KEEP AN EYE ON SPREADS BETWEEN BONDS AS WELL AS CROSS CURRENCIES.

  • This is a disgusting country to live in if you have any wealth and can afford it. Vote with your wallet, and leave. We, as usual, did not get to vote for our leader.

    All this crap the country cares about it citizens. Look at how many people are on dangerous drug trials without their consent or knowledge and not getting paid the fee, and some doctors are making large amounts of money while poisoning there patient. It is known as man slaughter.

    Under Labour, corruption has skyrocketed. I put it to you that the politicians are lining their pockets. Look at the Houses’ property portfolios, trading accounts, offshore accounts they originally owned and now their assets, also when they are no longer in power. Prostitution, child prostitution, police corruption, i.e. the police get a percentage of crime, has exploded; it was not great under the Conservatives. I am sick of failed governments and not giving the citizens an election to vote for the policies and politicians they want. I was a big Royalist, but as they seem to be the only family doing well, I will be voting for the party that wants a Republic. The country was Bankrupt after Brexit under Theresa May. We have been surviving on trading against our allies and stealing and asking for protection money, and crime is this the best our leaders and Royals can do?

    Homework: See how much each G20 country made out of quantitative easing and where the money is now. Who stole it? Money just disappears where it goes; nobody knows. Did Andy have a construction company in Manchester? Did he declare it, and did he get a percentage of everything in Manchester in construction? How many bedrooms do politicians have they have there, offshore accounts and directorships, assets? Is the system transparent, or is it set up for corruption in your opinion?

    My next-door neighbour has taken the flat and ID of a woman who is over 100 years old. I reported it to the police, and nothing happened. The police shield that she uses, she stole. Look into the tenancy agreement and how old the tenancy is. Great police work. It is important to understand that the countries we have been to war with, especially Islamic countries, have taken over the NHS front-line services, such as housing and been given jobs in call centres for 999 and 101. They have invaded and are invading. We have lost the war because of greed and a lack of foresight from our leaders and the Royal family.

    Let’s hope Andy is honest and can do better.

  • What now for interest rates given inflation

    What now for inflation and some talks of rate hikes in the financial press? What effect will that have on the yield and price of bonds? Is it already priced into the markets? Can you make money out of buying traded options? Which would you buy: puts, calls, or straddles? What would your out-of-the-money targets be, given the charts, and what length of traded option would you buy, i.e., when would you expect a change in central banks’ interest rates, if at all? We would not recommend buying anything less than one month. It may be even wiser to buy even more time for your trade. There are no guarantees that central banks will move rates, but inflation is going to stick around if they stick their heads in the sand. Remember, putting interest rates up also has an effect on loan payments if they are not fixed, even credit cards and can have a slowing effect on the economy, so it is a central banker’s nightmare working out what to do. Always talk to your broker and know your maximum loss; also, never trade with money you can’t afford to lose. We would also look at one-month traded options on stock indexes, what direction, what strike price, and how far out of the market you have to choose; it is your profit or loss and it’s important to understand how much you can lose don’t be scared to just paper trade to understand traded options our advice is keep it simple calls the right to buy, puts the right to sell or at the money straddles for volitility plays don’t be afriad to ask your broker and do some research both on the internet or asking your broker books to read.

    There was an interesting piece on Bloomberg.com stating Wall Street was making bumper profits but still laying off staff this is a trend that will continue as AI progresses, as for the trading screen business, it will be all about data I was thinking what a good fit the Financial Times would be to IG Index who started as a spread trading company but now supplies live trading systems to financial institutions some clever investment bank could float off the electronic and paper publishing arm on a stock exchange while the company that owns the FT could have a poisoned pill or keep a large percentage of the shares preferably both. Most people let go from finance will be like watching bath water go down the plughole, as jobs keep decreasing as AI replaces white-collar work and will become day traders or entrepreneurs. The FT and IG Index could build companies as strong as Thomson Reuters or Bloomberg, but in the end, those companies will be providing fewer and fewer trading screens and more and more data to computers that drive AI.

    Homework: Daily bar charts 15, 30, 60 and 100 moving averages, are they above the market acting as resistance or below the market acting as support, are they diverging, converging or crossing over? Trend Lines, which are the next support or resistance levels to be broken or held, Gaps, what sort of gaps are they and patterns—also stochastics.

    Have Andy or any of the Labour or Conservative parties been members of the Communist or ANC? The ANC is a South African political party with South African interests, and the Communist party is historically Russia, China and North Korea. Its ethos originally was that each citizen should take only what they need, but over time has proven to be an economic disaster. Gordon Gekko’s creed takes over: “Greed is Good”. Has Andy ever taken a bribe, and is he now in the pockets of those people whom he may or may not have taken a bribe from? Has he ever had an affair or taken drugs and in the pockets of the Mafia or foreign powers?

    Movie Night: The Good Shepard with Matt Damon or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with the excellent Gary Oldman: For food, Borscht Soup, Chicken Kiev and Baked Potato Salsa for filling.

    I am sick of young junior children turning up having cigarettes put out on them and being set alight or tortured or sodmised by a member of the British Royal family who is crazy about Star wars and set up websites to say you are a Jedi or on the side of Jedi we don’t seem to have a Prime Minister who is capable of standing up to the Royal Family sectioning them putting them in a maximum security facility and destroying the Empire while on the side of the Jedi LOL. It is fiction.

    It is important to understand that the Chelsea Pensioners and the Royal family have been stealing money meant for the treasury tax and national insurance office, as well as the military secret service GCHQ, NHS and software has also been developed to help finance the country. Looking back since 1987 and the Privatisation of National Companies such as British Telecom, British Gas, the British Water Board, British Rail, etc., has it been a global success story?

    People try to get me to sign things, particularly my website over to other people. I am not interested in doing drug trials or working for Goldman Sachs or any other investment house. I have no interest in spending time with Elton John, who is one of the nastiest people in show business. If you tell everybody else that you know the system, they will leave you alone. I am not interested in having some useless traders’ trading losses signed over to me. I have no interest in spending time with the Royal Family or any of them who are bleeding the country dry. And I have been involved with finance technology and entertainment since 1997, so expecting to be a good trader after spending 12 hours shows how stupid you are If you want my advice, get a bloody job as a junior trader but AI is going to make a lot of those jobs not exist. I am not in contract with anybody; anything signed is against my free will. You would not believe the coercement I go through.

  • Hard Times

    Is Andy taking his lithium? Given that some of his plans have been done before, what we will see is an exodus of the rich, which happened in the seventies. Labour seems to be blind to what Business leaders are requesting to boost jobs and the economy.

    One economy worth studying is Luxembourg. Look at the tax system and the social standards, industry, commerce and hospital beds per citizen. Plus, they have a Royal family, not a republic. Another country to study is Singapore.

    What a lovely day to do some marching or pretend to be a tree or a clump of grass. Now most of you have taken up my challenge to train like the Green Jacket and the Paratroop Regiment and are incredible marksmen, no fear of heights can drop in for tea or tiffin from ten thousand feet, and your wives and girlfriends have a smile on their face, let’s challenge to spend some time with the Marines, get your sea legs so you to can be invincible.

    One way to help bring down the USA and any other country’s national debt is to give 100% tax relief on donations over a million to pay down the National debt the Citizens and and companies of the countrys get a tax break for individuals and companies and the country gets a better credit rating and less interest to pay on there Government debt the effects on the stock market would be well you work it out.

    Most famous people choose to sell their souls to the Devil. Members of the Royal family were sold into slavery the moment they were born. I like having a Royal family. I am proud to be British and its history. I try to understand the Royal family’s sacrifice. One bad day or outburst for somebody who is famous can destroy their lives. I once met Bob Geldof many years ago in the Groucho Club. He tried to explain how dangerous having a sense of humour was if you are famous, that somebody would look to take it the wrong way.

    For those who are famous or suffering, its ok to cry. I often feel better afterwards, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

  • Price War

    What we need is a bloody good price war between Supermarkets to help the global economy and my pocket. While I am at it I don’t think its going to be good for Sainsbury’s share price. The MD and executives’ share options for people to know that a lot of their staff are serious criminals in other countries a large part of the staff in Sloane Avenue are sex offenders who pay management a percentage of their wages. That children are often taken to the little garage just down from the service hatch, where serious sex offenders sometimes hang out, and if you talk to the children, they say they are put there by the police, that if they leave, they will kill all their families, that their crime is shoplifting or being an illegal immigrant (Asylum seeker) or an orphan. One for the boys and girls in blue. Also, the staff at Sloane Avenue are protecting some serious heroin dealers, mainly the management of the store, along with the security staff who pretend to be beggars and homeless. All this has been reported to the police, both in person plus on the phone and online. Check out the price difference for the same items using online grocery shopping, using a van, then in-store, then things like Chop Chop, which also delivers grade A drugs, fake passports, police shields and IDs and military IDs. As yet, I don’t know the code words or how they know who to deliver the fake documentation to.

    It is tradition if a Husband is unfaithful, that if you know about it to take his wedding ring off and throw it away. It is also tradition if a man has slept with more people than the fingers to his wedding ring he should not wear one. Often, married people will take off their wedding rings and swap them with each other, saying they want to have an affair or get a divorce and set up shop with the person they have swapped rings with. Different coloured jem stones on an engagement ring have different meanings and if you are not a virgin you should wear off white or cream wedding dress. So many old fashioned values have been lost mainly by the clergy and Rabbis.

    I regret recommending Daniel Hersherson as a hair salon, and Richard Thompson (Richard T) makes money out of prostitution and drugs, I have found out, and there is a story that he is high up in the mafia, so I have been told and is protected because he cuts members of the Royal families’ hair.

    Richard was a young officer who had come out of Sandhurst and made the mistake of offering the wrong person Grade A Drugs. He was a Guardsman and was being posted to Ireland it is tradition to tell an officer who is being posted for the first time to Ireland what happens if you are captured or taken prisoner by the IRA, and after explaining, ring a Priest in Ireland and put the officer after giving his name onto the Priest, and most advise them to desert. He was transferred to the Police with the Mission to be undercover and expose corruption; instead, he became corrupt.

    Take Not according to members of the Royal family such as Meghan and Harry, Mandela is the Biggest hero of all time, and the people who lost people in the Second World War are not bigger heroes or suffered greater hardship. You should see the state of me for standing up to Harry, Megan and Elton John.

  • Italian Job Movie Night, Its important to change the stylus (needle) on your record player occasionally. Also, clean the heads of your casset recorder/player.

    It’s the Weekend time to unwind with a good book and have a picnic in a green space, or a BBQ in the garden or just eat sandwiches in the park. Lots on this weekend from Wimbledon. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Lots of sunscreen.

    Movie Night: “The Italian Job” with the Great Michael Caine, lots of fantastic actors. I would suggest Pasta Arrabiata with bottles of Perroni Nastro Azzuro or Red Wine, and Lemonade for the Children. Ice Cream for dessert or Fruit Cocktail. Fancy dress optional. Afterwards, talk about the film casting, script, directing, acting, wardrobe, locations, sets, stunts, camera work, sound, makeup, etc. This is an English Classic as a movie.

    In hot weather, I like to sit in a bath full of cold water and use a mug to pour the water from the bath all over me while sitting in it, not much water about a mug hight. If you have googles or a diving mask and flippers, I suggest you put them on while sitting in the bath (and take them off while sitting in the bath when you are ready). You could save the water for later or have a cold shower. I don’t suggest wearing your flippers while standing in the bath; you will probably hurt yourself. If I can’t sleep at night because of the heat, I try this method. In countries like Thailand, they sell damp hand towels rolled up that have been in the fridge in plastic bags for you to place on the back of your neck or for your hands and face.

    We tried to warn you of the risks of carry trade.
