Looks that way i guess. but the rising oil, nymex now at +2, 50.7 and other comodities such as gold, silver and corn all up. will these be supporting the dows, in your opinion, or, would not affect much of the expected downtrend much?
tonight?
surpriisingly, Asian bourses are 'intact' atm, especially the local ci and fkli. perhaps europe will be abit on the green side at open?

agree... poor jobs report probably put the dollar bulls back in line; iran deal little effect; higher oil prices overall will provide some support for equity markets for now. but watch bond prices - they are still going higher.

so, can expect things to get dicey...

will need to watch carefully first... if buy, buy slowly...!

any insight for the gaming (such as mgm, mpel and wynn) and social media (such as fb and twtr) movement? i always got it wrong in 'guessing' the direciton.... mad.gif silly me ....

no, no idea about this sector...

i traded a couple of times lately on amba and gpro - both nasdaq high betas, make some lunch money! biggrin.gif

but wont trade much as my brokerage fee cost is too high. but it should get more favorable if rm is sliding down. so, now rm is back up a bit, may slide again... will see if chance comes again to trade. laugh.gif

wow. exactly. rm is almost at historic 'dirt cheap' level. this discourages me from topping up my trust fuinds at IB. also, yes, brokerage fees are high for my trade too ... so, as said, better wait a bit longer. however, given the so many -ve local economic and political issues i dont think rm can go any much higher. me so sad these days, as i will most likely to deposit my rm in foreign acc.

If you are about to put your bored-cash full position on oil, think twice.
(Alternatively you might want to scale in at smaller position say 1/4, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4 at different support and hold for 2-5years).
*
i hv been thinking thrice!

agree... gotta be very careful about this oil story... so many major variables, schemers, twisted interests, surprises, etc. i basically like this sector but will not get in again until i see all the "evidence" it has stabilized. and i dun expect it for next 6 months.

meanwhile, if prices soften tonight, i will consider picking up a bit... before the usd gets to 3.70 rm again! laugh.gif

if u look at xlv over last 5 yrs, v good! but lately, quite flat. mid-long term play.


xle... energy, not oil only. i think it's the euphoria from m&a in europe - shell acquiring bg, a lot of nat gas biz.


spy, qqq looking good too! smile.gif

Anyone here still eyeing AAPL for trade (or investment)?  It's been some time since I last touch this fruit company.
The support around $120 is quite good here.

Still got some commons left from 6 months ago but going to hang to those since they were
around $100 a piece at that time.

$100, keep in the safe! Mine $105 all locked up! biggrin.gif

Older people will not get it, but this is happening. good chance the mighty fruit will go very green later tonite:

Hundreds of Apple Watches already on eBay

The Apple Watch is already out of stock for people buying it the normal way —but there are plenty for sale on eBay.

As of mid-morning Friday there were already hundreds of listings for "Apple Watch" on the auction site, with some selling briskly.

In order to guarantee the validity of their products, some sellers have gone as far as to put their Apple receipts and pre-order forms online. One ambitious seller bought a watch for $399 and is selling it for $800. Another seller already got $560 for a 42 mm Apple Watch Sport, the same device that Apple sells for $399. (Tweet This)

If ordered on Apple's website, buyers might have to wait until July before the watches ship.

had enough of cheap "alternatives", won't buy any.
i m actually quite curious, must go check out an apple watch when available.

QUOTE(yok70 @ Apr 11 2015, 12:01 AM)
the beauty of apple is that when a product comes to their hand, it "suddenly" becomes popular. It's like other manufacturers all just helping Apple to introduce a product, to get people familiar with it, but not until Apple's version out that the product comes to live. Very WB style company actually, wondering why WB doesn't have the gut to buy it but buying IBM instead.  tongue.gif

that's what makes it a great co. notebooks, tablets, smartphones, now, watches.
they promise the electric car is guaranteed to thrill.
what will they thrill us next?
