QUOTE(AVFAN @ Apr 6 2015, 04:05 PM) 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...! true. bonds r getting stronger with more support lately. for shorters, we might hope for a larger bear at play tonight. but still, it all depends on whether the US market focus at which factor(s) to move tonight. 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....  silly me ....

my rough memory is that, dows gnerally would drop to the 17,500 level before getting back to the 18k mark. i can be wrong but it seems that way again tonight? i am not as knowledgeable as others here as i have been + and - throughout. sigh .... wasted many sleepless nights in the process.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Apr 6 2015, 04:20 PM) 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! 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.  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.

QUOTE(Brother J @ Apr 6 2015, 11:34 PM) It obviously doesn't feel right with this price action post job-report, today's closing will be interesting.  Kinda agree..moreover the non manu data was too lower abit. Yet the large bull is at work atm. Just doesnt seem to need a rest under any.situations ???

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Apr 7 2015, 10:36 PM) i was hoping to top up xlv today since it softened from all time high since a month ago. best performer on my watchlist now, haizzz... oil counters r interesting, looks like a good comeback! I guess oils r inching up abit after the talk of iran deal to free oil export restrictions + saudi increasing its oil price for shipment to asia. Nymex safely above 50. But still US oil well count is dropping and shale producers r in some form of financial.problems.... i not sure of the potential impacts...+ or - ???

Everything seems so northward. Hope these carry forward to KLSE and Fkli tomorrow.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Apr 8 2015, 10:07 PM) if u look at xlv over last 5 yrs, v good! but lately, quite flat. mid-long term play. xle... enrgy, not oil only. i think it's the euphoria from m&a in europe - shell acquiring bg, a lot of nat gas biz. agree. xle i guess is mainly boosted by the 70b acquisition is also spurrrrring europe indices to near 8 yr high ... wooo ... what a green soght. Q is, will it end like yday in which the indices made sharp drop at close? might consider an entry pt for xlv

same trend again. dows open at slight green, but in less convincing direction, with health and biotech leading the pack with +>0.5%. will it be trending down near close again today?

Bloomberg news had already talked about these new 'apple watches' selling in china about 3weeks ago! chinaman very can !!!

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Apr 14 2015, 01:55 PM) hmm... and i was wondering last nigght why oil/energy stocks went south when oil price was going north... USD 6b contract !!! omg. cant imagine how large it is. However, these long contract will affect/not affect the short term oil share prices (oil prices are going up as iran's oil piles are yet to be released).
