I just remembered something, DIG gapped up, and
then backtracked into the gap, and rallied again, this is very
bullish, and I, personally have raised my stop to below the gap, if
it really wants to move, it should not take it anytime soon, also,
close to lower rim of the gap can be a low risk entry
point
matt, thak you for thinking of me, I guess the question was
asked by another poster, as for myself, I think DIG is coming out
of a C wave, and looking good. Too soon to say if we get another
abc set or not,
And yes, I have done double dip at the lows and releasing the
second dip at the top, so far so good.
BTW, take a look at RIG, it's coming out of a triple correction,
if it breaks, it may go nicely
is it possible to have a hyperlink on active and pending watch
list items to take us to the stockcharts chart you maintain, that

they may or may not, in the short to medium term, market may
perceive this as higher rates and FED fighting inflation. Such
perception may cause further pressure. Such pressure may cause more
unwinding and de-leveraging, such action may dessimate any
portfolio that tries to ride any probable massacre out.
It is, IMHO, in the interest of all officials for the commodity
market to break. If they smell blood, they'll go for the kill.
which were actually foreseeable as demonstrated by other
strategists.
You have a good point here. I still interpret the whole thing in
the context of the universe they impact and thos ewho inhabit that
universe, but I see your point and it is valid to me.
I do not consider the Fed's "guarantee of Fannie paper" to have
been a Black Swan event because Fannie and Freddie have long
been considered to have an "implicit" federal guarantee,
OK, but in his last conference call, Coxe said he did not expect
such measures to be taken by the officials, so that was his black
swan, I see all things relative, in his universe, he did not expect
it and those who followed his advice suffered, many of his
followers are hedge funds who have been running with the commodity
idea
in two confrence call prior to that, he said, for gold all
systems were go, and that stood in absolute contrast with what I
was seeing studying internal dynamics of the gold sector
maybe you do not agree with my interpretation of black swan, and
that is fine, otherwise we would not be having this discussion
you see, all I was trying to say was that what Donald Coxe
believes in, however valid, may be at this moment is not the best
idea to pursue. and as for Black Swan, I think when a strategist
whose advice influences investment decision of billions of dollars,
by his own admission, cannot see what you could see, that, to
me, can be interpreted as a black swan in that universe of
gargantuan finance, it may have very dire consequences -- hedge
funds failing, further drops in oil and gold, S&P running away
from the bear?
Charts, however showed it all the time, that gold stocks
were breaking, base metal stocks were breaking, oil stock were
breaking.
he did not see that, maybe he sees decades ahead, but one needs
stretch one's capital onto decades ahead
I'm not sure what you're referring to with respect to the
"Fed's removing risk from Pet banks".
To me, by restricting the short sale of a select group, the full
force of SEC, FED, Treasury, .... is saying, it is safe to invest
in banks, whatever it takes, they'll do it, it is a question of
paper versus metal, the crisis that was brewing was a paper crisis,
a confidence crisis, and what they did was an indication to the
market that it would be safe to be on the side of banks, that
forced the short covering rally, and if they can push the hedgies
over, it may turn into a full blown blood bath resulting in a
market melt up, and change bring about a bout of assett
deflation
Again, I have nothing but admiration for the man himself, and
the thinker he is, and that admiration has grown even more,
when he admited lack of foresight, no ifs, no buts, no
bullshit, just that he did not excpect it,
and I am glad that I learned how to read charts and do my own
analysis regardless of whether others agree with my methods or
not, that will be it becomes my mistake to make and no other's
"Since
Black Swanevents are unexpected, infrequent,
high-impact events which are unpredictable or extremely difficult
to predict,"
don't you agree that Russin attack on Georgia, Fed guarantee of
Fannie paper, Fed removing risk from Pet banks, are as you
say, "
unexpected, infrequent, high-impact events which are
unpredictable or extremely difficult to predict"by all
historical norms, an as such qualify as black sawn events. It's
really OK, we can disagree forever, and that's fine, our
interpretation of the matter differs, but I see events them and
interpret them as I do, and they may prove the undoing of this
cycle of the commodity market and the a real run in broader equity
markets.
BTW, there is no way you or anyone, big or small, can
embaress me, why would I feel embaressed, I either know something,
or I will learn it, no shame in learning,
and if you read my first message again, you will notice I
said
"but following the charts may help us sidestep them"
I used the word may, nothing definitive, if an act is to be
taken by the treasury department that would change the
market, that act is a black swan to me, but maybe someone bigger
than me knows about, and he may take market action that will
not make sense when it happens, but the charts will show.
Don Coxe did not expect guarantees given on Fannie paper, that
was his Black Swan, market knew about them, charts showed them.
all i was trying to point out, was that macro level fundamentals
(like china growing for many years) are susceptible to many events
unforseen, and charts MAY (not should, not would, but MAY) show
them,
I realy think this should be an off topic discussion

my broker differentiates between the two, buy stop becomes market order on stop

you should use a stop
