https://www.marketwatch.com/story/intel-faces-massive-wall-street-backlash-on-next-gen-chip-delay-2020-07-24 $INTC getting crushed in the pre-market today. Down nearly 14% as we head to the market open. It was a favourite of mine over the last couple of years but the delays in the 7nm chip release were already a problem towards the end of last year and I […]

Morning all. The FOMC release last night initially lead to a rally in stock and a spike in bond yield, the 10 year recovery a little bit of what had been lost through the morning, but ultimately the tone changed and Powell’s performance left a lot to be desired. The […]
Last week was quite a crazy one for markets, the Dow experiencing its worst week since 2008, when the global financial system went into meltdown. Read more: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/19/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html If we go back to the start of this market correction, I was initially looking for a 20% correction, just touching that […]
Evening all. A busy day in the markets and a busy day from governments around the world. Each announcement of Coronavirus control measures seemed to be accompanied by news of stimulus, support and relief packages. It was a lot for the markets to take in, and I think this is […]

Evening all. Yesterday the markets displayed some strange behaviour with the ‘Triple Whammy’ I wrote about last night and that certainly ended up being a portend for a bad day, with the Dow having its worst day since the 1987 flash crash. See: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/futures-are-steady-wednesday-night-after-dow-closes-in-bear-market-traders-await-trump.html I usually use the SP500 for […]

Morning all. After one of the worst days for the stock markets in recent history, multiple central banks and governments outlined plans for economic stimulus, which has boosted sentiment and coincided with China and South Korea reporting progress in containing the Coronavirus spread. $DJ30 futures are pointing to strong opening […]
Evening all. The markets really are something else at the moment. Flash Crashes, Oil Wars, Market Circuit Breakers, Missile Tests, Pandemic Virus, you name it we got it! I closed 2 more of the index shorts today, one on $UK100 and one on $SPX500 to free up more capital and […]
Morning All. I wanted to write a post about why I started buying $DGRO and why I will buy more if this market weakness persists. The yield on 10 year US Treasuries just went below 1% recently and has been hitting new record lows over the last couple of days, […]
