MY TAKE ON INVESTING

Like everyone else, there is only one reason why I study, analyse and participate in the financial markets - and that is to make money. But the difference with me and most other people is that I am willing to use anything (legally) possible to do it. If counting the number of cockroaches that I see everyday gives me an edge in the market, I'll do it. If it works, I'll use it; be it keeping tabs on the economy, looking at charts and indicators (technical analysis), looking at value or growth potential (fundamental analysis), profits & earnings + other related market activity (quantitive analysis), through insider activity + consumer surveys (sentiment analysis) and yes even astrology.

I've spent over five years monitoring, studying, observing and trading the financial markets. My quest was to find out what makes the financial markets move, to find something substantial, something that will provide consistent monetary gains. I don't want to just accept what other authors say/write as gospel truth, I want to know why. In 2005, I took a masters degree in finance to see if what they teach in the university adds any value towards investing success - the answer is 'not really'. Investment knowledge builds up with time - what might seem unimportant to you now may become what you need to get you to the next 'level'. Such is my experience with fundamental, quantitative, economic and sentiment analysis.

What you see in this blog represents quite a number of item(s) and technique(s) that have met - like what W.D. Gann says - my '(utmost) satisfaction' and I hope that they can be of use to the investment pilgrim who's also on a quest for understanding and success.

The number of reported transactions is the highest I've seen so far over these few months. The number of sell transactions reported was also the highest.

The non-correlation of the FTSE, Nikkei 225 and the Nasdaq Composite indices continues to prevail, sort of suggesting that these markets may not share a common view on the outlook of the global market. The NASDAQ Composite continues to be rangebound with volatility picking up over the past week, where the 2465 mark needs to be broken for a more convincing breakout (i.e. bulliah indication). Short-term market breadth oscillator is at the low end; suggesting that the market has room on the upside in the next couple of days.

I've also updated the DJIA Forecast and the Consumer Sentiment & Margin Debt charts with the November data (see below).

Hv a good week!
