It is probably very busy.. my VPN connection to US also dropping to Just2trade site.

But, MBtrading and TD Ameritrade are ok. Very smooth.

Both SLV and GLD will be worth quite a bit if US misses the Aug 2 deadline or rating agencies decided to cut
US AAA status.

never ending saga of debt in Amarika. So a temporary fix is not also welcomed. A failure US economy is also not welcome. So what actually those MM wants?

Gold been crazy, jumped nearing $150 in a month.
4th of JULY  = $1500
4th of August = $1652

Don't panic guys, we've seen this before.

SP 1250 to SP 1350 still in range
Dow 11600 to 12900 still in range

Tonight macro data:
ADP job (private sector) up to 114k for July but much less than the revised 145k June numbers.
Market seems to have lower expectation this time.. only 86k.

Safe haven-> GLD indeed 

But, get ready to trim some GLD position if equities ready to move up.
I think we're ready to bounce up soon.

i you still have enough bullets by then...

Portfolio down -2,721.75.

My portfolio "Heavy Bleeders":
S
AMD
NVDA
STEC

Prophet - take some motion sickness medicine before going for second round. This isn't over yet. 

And gold to historic high a couple of dollars to 1,800. The MM said last time on KITCO that 2,000 is not far (start of this 

Yes, TCK is Teck Resources.. 20% stake owned by China (China Investment Corp).
HQ in Canada, owns a lots of mines - mostly in US, Canada and South America.
Like FCX (the bigger bro) mines Copper, Zinc, etc.

With the pull back in recent week, TCK's PE is extremely attractive.

Eventho SP500 closed the same level as Monday.. the bears power wasn't able to push below intraday low for Monday.

AAPL (pretty strong in this down market) remains elevated above $360.
If AAPL dips to $350 or below.. go get some calls.    I'm still hanging on to some of mine.

Let's see how it goes.. I think by Thurs or Friday we'll know which direction the market wants to move.

Sorry, I don't know Just2Trade options service.

For options trade, I'm using TD AmeriTrade and ScottTrade Options First.

Email the customer service, and get form from them to sign. I did mine that way. Then wait for 24hrs to be activated.
GOLD got hammered coz it increase too fast too soon.

Congrats!! Nice profits!! 

GOLD (print this)

* MAJOR ONE up from $256 to $1,015
(actually 4 times the $255 low)
= FINISHED


*MAJOR TWO down from $1,015 to $699, say $700
(a decline of 31% Fibonacci)
= FINISHED


* MAJOR THREE up from $700 to $3,500
(a Fibonacci 5 times the $500 low prior)
= IN PROGRESS

* MAJOR FOUR down from $3,500 to $2,500
( a 29% decline)
= LATER


*MAJOR FIVE up from $2,500 to $10,000
(also a four fold increase, same as ONE)
= SUPER LATER

the prob is whether it will drop back t0 160s or not.
or continue its upward trend.
i am not selling just yet

maybe you are right.

but long term looks promising.

just not selling for fear miss the boat.
not monitoring much, so dun bother to sell.

AAPL is king for now. Someday somehow some other company will be the King. Its cyclical in business world. One can't be on TOP forever.
GOOG is seen as a direct competitor for AAPL. Samsung is 2nd behind AAPL in sales of tablet/smart phones. With Galaxy Tab hitting the shores worldwide, no doubt Jobs' eggs are shaking hard.

Long GOOG TP 700
