The analysis is unchanged, and whilst we may be close to the bottom, we are not there yet, but there are numerous short term opportunities around. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/bernanke-causes-turmoil-in-the-markets-with-more-to-come-today http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/bernanke-causes-turmoil-in-the-markets-with-more-to-come-today Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-315 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-315 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 There has been some disparity between the trading and price performance of stocks in the retail sector, although the overall trends are pretty clear. In the case of N Brown, we have an intriguing setup that could lead to a decent move in quick time for CFD traders. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/n-brown-group-bwng-1 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/n-brown-group-bwng-1 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Yesterday's session was matched by huge volumes of trading in US equities, and we are now seeing the levels of volatility associated with panic lows. Traders should be prepared for some major moves in coming days, and position themselves accordingly. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/surge-in-volumes-suggests-another-very-dramatic-day-in-new-york http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/surge-in-volumes-suggests-another-very-dramatic-day-in-new-york Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 There was a flurry of excitement in the markets yesterday morning on bid and cash injection news in the UK and US financial sectors, but this was blown away by another bout of selling. Far Eastern markets dropped heavily overnight, and it looks like another session for day traders with a lower opening expected in London. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/sellers-still-in-control-despite-manda-action-yesterday http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/sellers-still-in-control-despite-manda-action-yesterday Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-314 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-314 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 There was a major move in the shares of Unilever which ended at the turn of the year, and since then we have seen impulsive action in several stages. We now have another good set up for a short term trade here after a recent reversal. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/unilever-ulvr-5 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/unilever-ulvr-5 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 In this week's report, we look at recent events at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and how this may play out for dollar traders. We also return to the gold market, which has been very quiet in recent months, but is now showing potentially major impulsive action. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/fx-and-commodities/moral-hazard-for-the-dollar-impulsive-move-in-gold http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/fx-and-commodities/moral-hazard-for-the-dollar-impulsive-move-in-gold Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Yesterday's action showed how dangerous it is to anticipate the bottom of the market, and though selling levels were not that high, it is clear the downtrend is still not over. On that basis, we expect turbulence in New York, with another big fall on the Dow Jones at the open. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/financials-in-the-spotlight-once-again-as-bears-keep-a-grip http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/financials-in-the-spotlight-once-again-as-bears-keep-a-grip Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Volumes picked up towards the end of last week as more credit crunch problems hit the financial sector. Although pre-market futures indicate a higher open in London today, we expect to see more dramatic action and traders should keep small positions sizes for now. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/bloodbath-friday-suggests-more-volatility-ahead-this-week http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/bloodbath-friday-suggests-more-volatility-ahead-this-week Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-313 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-313 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Venture Production is a highly volatile stock that has shown some clear trending action in the last year. After a bout of drifting action, we now have an excellent set up for an imminent move in the shares. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/venture-productions-vpc http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/venture-productions-vpc Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Friday saw the biggest volume in the US for quite a while and there were several impulsive moves, which makes it likely we are getting close to a trend change. At times like this it pays to keep trading sizes down, and there will be many opportunities within the financials for day trades in coming sessions. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/rise-in-volumes-suggests-another-dramatic-session-ahead http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/rise-in-volumes-suggests-another-dramatic-session-ahead Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 It would appear that the downtrend is still not over despite signs of recovery in some beaten down stocks and yesterday's bid action in the US. Financial stocks remain relatively weak, and we expect another volatile end to what has been a very exciting week. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/two-way-market-as-financials-remain-weak-but-rallies-seen-elsewhere http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/two-way-market-as-financials-remain-weak-but-rallies-seen-elsewhere Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-312 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-312 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 We have seen plenty of movement in the shares price of Cadbury over the last year or so reflecting the news from the underlying company. More recently there are signs of impulsive action and we can now see an excellent short term trade here. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/cadburys-cbry-1 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/daily-charts/cadburys-cbry-1 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Once again we are seeing pre-market futures indicating a sharp fall on the Dow Jones Index, and there could be more falls in certain financials after GE's statement and following on from worries over Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. A panic low may be nearby, but we are not there quite yet. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/more-selling-expected-from-the-open-on-what-may-be-a-big-day-for-the-markets http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/us-report/more-selling-expected-from-the-open-on-what-may-be-a-big-day-for-the-markets Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 Tuesday's rally was reversed yesterday in the US, although volumes were lower, as further analysis of problems at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae saw the financials lead the US market down heavily. Whilst we still see a panic low somewhere nearby, it looks like a volatile down day to come in London. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/more-gloom-from-us-financials-sets-up-another-big-fall-in-london http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/morning-rundown/more-gloom-from-us-financials-sets-up-another-big-fall-in-london Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A running portfolio of current long and short recommendations. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-311 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/recommendations-portfolio-311 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100 A performance summary of the weeks' recommendations. http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/weekly-performance-51 http://www.blueindex.co.uk/cfd-reports/longs-and-shorts/weekly-performance-51 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100
