oil/energy is getting very touchy.

i try not to hold too much; fast trading still manageable.

bro, if 1% brokerage, better stay away.
$1 ok.

right, ok for holding only. i do the same.
trading, need something else.

turns out all sectors good.

everything on my screen is 1.5%-2.5% green.

next week, probably roller coaster once again.

have a good weekend!

u looking for big gap down?

it can happen anytime, juts be around n not "sell in may n go away"!

tonite...looks flat/dip... at least for opening.

oil flat, greece defiant... probably "boring".

i'm going to watch a tv show, come back later... maybe caught ikan bilis.

yep, looks like even ikan bilis hard to catch.

it is noticeable that major etf's have been pretty flat in recent months:

the way i understand it, recovering commodity prices particularly oil takes the pressure off deflation fears.
hence investors dump bonds/fixed income to go elsewhere causing prices to fall and yields to spike.
but the money have not gone into stocks as per great rotation theory - bond prices go down, stock prices go up.
there is strong indication that a lot of that money has moved into european equities incl dax, emerging markets equities like china and risky debt in countries like nigeria, brazil, etc.
that is consistent with us markets not gaining so far this year with etf flows lowest in 16 months.

the pertinent question is do we expect the great rotation to arrive in us equities soon? in the middle of a rate hike scenario which looks increasing going to be delayed?

keep in mind that due to qe's and more qe's , there is a lot of cash around. with equities possibly at full or near full values against their income and a strengthening usd, the risks are real.

but, my bet...yes, keep buying us stocks!

i actually think it'll go green later!

oil looks like moving up and up albeit slowly.

energy or oil stock holders,

u might get $1 gain today!

with recent oil prices yo-yo but on way up, all energy n oil stocks make good trading stocks, even intraday!

i have been trading a couple of them, hence the ikan bilis.

a temp blip, the great rotation is about to begin.

start with anchovies, hopefully grouper later. will be happy enough to finish with cod.
blue fin... too far away, can't even smell it.

good read about current bond meltdown:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/201...hat-explain-why

oil up, futures up, eu up.

bull!

baby bull.

still, caught a grouper, good for dinner.

oil price is holding but i see oil stocks retreating...

but oil prices fell at the news!

will watch a bit more n see if worth jumping in...

i was watching oil for last 2 hrs. see oil price n stocks yo-yo... red-green-red-green. managed to buy a tiny bit, the prices were jumping all over too quick. definitely going to be ikan bilis.

ok, i better go catch a tv show, come back later...

my grouper already in the freezer.

the ikan bilis... now looking like 2 ikan billis.

despite lower stocks, oil's down becos of profit taking and recognition of a still over supply situation - cnbc.

my 2 ikan bilis now is back to 1.

ok, gotta call it a night. fight again tmrw.

g'nite.
