Recap on last week
Week closed at  180.12 UP from previous week of 177.12

With fed continuing it's current stance of buying bonds; festive season around the corner; portfolio pumping and fund house having pressure to outperform the indexes before the year come to an end. There's definitely more thrust upside, but who will be the last to catch the hot potato.


VIX are really at a complacence level that it went below 13 points on Fri before picking up and closing above 13

Accuracy : 11/25

Recap on last week
Week closed at  170.72 UP from previous week of 169.33

Market are like on steroid bumping higher and higher until Thurs. It should come down when its overbought but some out there just buying it higher as if pushing it's limit. We are in the month supposedly bearish month and going into Oct which major crash happened. The YTD gains are indicating a huge room for reversion to mean. While we all waited like it should have retrace abit when its way overbought just like when you sprint for a short burst, the body will take a break to recuperate. Apparently external factor like fed decisions are swaying directly and indirectly. How the control on money supply have almost the power of god as it affect almost everyone on earth directly and indirectly.

For S&P 500 YTD gain is 19.9%, or SPY price at 170
By printing more money to buy treasury bonds, money value depreciated.
ie in the past 1 bond cost 1 dollar, as there's more supply of money, now 1 bond cost 2 dollar.

Applying the same, maybe SPY value cost 140, due to the adjustment in money supply, it got inflated and cost 170 now. Under normal rate, it probably take a couple more years maybe 5-10 years to hit 280 but due to the rate of adjustment on money supply, couple more years might just be shorten significantly. We shall see how fast it hit.

If you notice, all the little expenditure that we are paying are rising in price some at a incredible rate. ie just 2 weeks back, i bought a double cheese burger at mac for $2.6, 1 week before that it was at $2.5 i doubt how many people will actually notice the 10 cents different. But that 10 cents is a 4% increase in cost for consumer, now we are talking right ? We don't even have 1% interest on bank saving account or how many funds out there are averaging a 4% returns ? The point is money value is becoming smaller and we need even more to buy for the same items aka inflation at a certain rate. But if someone else come into the picture from behind the scene, printing more and more money. It just became a body that is heavily reliance on drugs and to make it worst, this body can create drugs whenever it like.



2 keys things - Capitalism & Debts that i learnt from "mens who build america" and "Rothschild" are seemly amazing.

consolidation to take a breather which might give an false indication of a dip on the downside. After all it just get higher and higher as long as fed is gonna continue printing. On the other side, we are going into month of Oct and if we really just look at candlestick only, it seems a higher probability to have a downwards dip.

SPY - 5 Days


Recap on last week
Week closed at  166.04 UP from previous week of 163.65.

Nasdaq have been bumping up last week, was expecting 3 Sep, first trading in Sep after labour to be up after the long weekend. But it just went the exact opposite. Trading days after the first trading day following labour day tends to be bearish which again it went exactly opposite. Except for the quick sell down on Fri, 6 Sep open.

Remind me of something i learnt over the weekend, when the trend or majority of the ppl out there know about certain things, the probability of it happening the opposite way tends to happen quickly.


VIX - daily

VIX closed at 15.86

162 will probably be tested this week or next. The next strong support base on the price volume. If it manage to break below 162 zone, pressure will be added to go for 159. and stay above 167. It should attract more bulls.

War is profitable, as is oil (hard facts to swallow)

Highly likely to use long range missile such as tomahawks.

limited and punitive strike may snowball into something even bigger, Syria and it's allies, what are the chances they will sit there and do nothing...

Strike on Syria Would Lead to Retaliation on Israel, Iran Warns
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/29/world/middleeast/syria-iran-israel.html?_r=0

"Iran, Russia, South Africa and some Arab countries have rejected this aggression and are ready to face this war that the United States and its allies, including France, will declare against Syria", he said, without elaborating " 

An retaliation attack on US interest or the NATO nations would call for a chance of stance. 

This could all turn into a full blown extended warfare.

Reading deeper US military is the largest consumer of petroleum in the world. In one respect, the war machine acts to preserve its own supply of oil without which it could not function, whatever the reserves in the US and elsewhere.

Middle East is a complex area -- filled with its own internal factions of religious, political and ethnic identities -- but the mission of the US empire is to play whatever "Great Game" is necessary to ensure that these conflicts don't get in the way of the free flow of oil

war is necessary (at least four of them in the Middle East, if we include Syria, since 2000) to preserve the national security economic interests of the United States -- and a steady fuel supply for the US armed forces.

The weapon of choice in the U.S. arsenal against Syria would likely be the Tomahawk cruise missile, manufactured by Raytheon Co 

White House has made clear an attack on Syria would be very limited in nature, likely relying heavily on the cruise missiles that Raytheon sells to the U.S. for about $1.45 million a pop tactical version.



After Tomahawk missiles were deployed during the U.S. intervention in Libya’s civil war, the Navy was forced to increase production of the weapons.

Tomahawks Missiles General Dynamics in the 1970s, it was initially designed as a medium to long-range, low-altitude missile that could be launched from a surface platform. It has been improved several times and, due to corporate divestitures and acquisitions, is now made by Raytheon. Some Tomahawks were also manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security)

I thought the almanac data would have a high probability as it mentioned about 2 last trading day of Aug tends to be bullish, I was thinking reason being anticipation into the 3 days holiday weekend into labour's day.


VIX hitting 17 and almost to 18 at one point forming a shooting star pattern. Fear is building up and will it come down as per the pattern. Divergence.
