Trading Diary

short-term share trading and should not be interpreted

USA
The Dow surged more than 2% to close at 10114, breaking
through the 10000 resistance level on strong
volume. The Nasdaq rose a further 5% (after 4%
yesterday) to close at 1720, the highest close since
August. Buyers are back in control of the market and the
rally continues.
Australia - ASX
The All Ords respected the 21-day moving average at
[R] and continued on its up-trend, closing at 3286 on
low volume. Expect a strong showing today after the
overnight performance of the Dow.
Banks
The index is still in a down-trend.
But Westpac [WBC] and Commonwealth [CBA] appear to be turning
around.
Conclusion
We now have clear up-trends on the Dow and the All Ords.
Entries this late in the trend are always higher risk so only
enter trades where the stop
loss can be set within a 2%
limit.
Long-term trades: Wait for a correction on the
secondary cycle. Don't hold your
breath - it could take a while.
