This is an updated version of my previous "Evergrande + others" chart of Chinese real estate. Instead of including some smaller companies with longer price history, this focuses on large market cap companies. I weighted the prices against each other equally by their 42 day average, and then weighted that by the market cap: 1. Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) HKD...
When Bitcoin was trading at around 60,000 level in late 2021 and before that year, whenever friends, acquaintance and participants asked my opinion about investing into cryptocurrency, immediately I knew they may not know much about cryptocurrency.

Hi everyone, Today I would like to share a piece of knowledge on parabolic growth and poor market structures. Let us take a look at NYSE:NET Cloudflare stock. This was an attractive buy back in 2020. As always, nobody saw that until everyone started screaming about this stock on Twitter. I saw an opportunity in investing into Cloudflare later in 2021 for a...
With my previous post with the 2007-2008 theme making it to the front page, I decided to make another with a similar topic. A stock market crash causes all markets to get volatile and moving. This is why a currency trader will keep an eye on other asset classes to keep track of where money is going or where it was and has left. Since I don't think the next crisis...
I must start by saying that I believe Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investing offers the greatest opportunity for the common man to build wealth to have ever existed in the history of the world. Yet, it is still an endeavor that must be entered into cautiously and with research if one is to be successful. The Daily Chart for BTC/USD on (the pathetic excuse of an...
When we grow up we often look at disciplines as being behind an "education wall". While this might be the case, I believe being a trader is its own discipline and the education is vastly self-driven and done through the free university hosted by Mr Market.
Often times we find ourselves staring at the futures or the pre-market before the actual markets open. Is there a point? And why does it matter whether we have an opinion about the futures or the pre-market?
It is absolutely normal to worry about the next stock market crash. You probably have a portion of your life savings wrapped up in your retirement fund, which is tied to the success of the stock market. Should You Fear The Next Crash?

So alot of terms being throw around about a Market Crash. Some people saying the market needs a correction, and others saying we have entered a bear market. They are not the same so what do each one of these look like? A Stock Market Crash This is usually caused by some economic damning event. Anything that would scare an investor into thinking our...
Hi friends! As we all know, each market crash is accompanied by an increase in its volatility. Here's an example of how a low VIX perfectly predicted today's correction. Therefore, it is always advisable to have the VIX on our watch list to be able to do a preventive monitoring of the market. When we see low volatility, we must close positions or be very...
The volatility of Bitcoin on anything less than a 4H chart, hides its path of momentum. On this monthly chart I show what I see. Move chart to left to see more. The path is more probably up in the long term based on monthly momentum. In my hypothetical $30,000 is possible - but I make no predictions. I previously made other speculations. If we hit a 1929-type...
Is the stock market going to crash?!?! I reckon about 50 people a week ask me this question! The reality is that we have never experienced this kind of crash before, we have never fought COVID before and we are seeing a huge amount of stimulus from our governments. Even the most experienced traders and investors are struggling to predict the market. Here is...
FED-backed pumping or rather re-pumping of the popped bubble, has taken the DJI to unexpected levels. I think they're making the same mistake all over again. Have a look. No predictions.

This is a pretty short vid. I'm looking back to 2001 to see what happened, to cautiously draw some ideas about what may happen in the 2020 bear market. The present picture is very different, of course. 2020 is showing a faster deeper dive. The SPX has recovered to a 61.8 fib. It could go higher. If it heads south, it's impossible to say how far south.
