Fed trying to pump empty promises in the minutes released just now .... *yawn* this rally is getting a little tired. They're doing anything theyh can to prevent the otherwise inevitable decline. 4 years ago, if they had just let everything collapse, we could have built up into a better position now.Comment

Originally posted by sirja View PostThe Fed can only kick off QE3 in the face of a market scare. I just don't see how they do it with the Market almost at the 52 week high. The path of least resistance remains a Fed/Wall street induced correction (get the retail investors to sell their shares for a loss), create a mini-panic, then the Fed 'ride to the rescue' with QE3 and Wall street picks up the cheap shares in a year-end/Q1 rally. I am sticking with my prediction of S&P 500 to hit 1260 within the next 8 weeks. On a spreed bet I can risk 30 pts for a pos gain of 150pts.
Market tops tend to be messy, high's can get spiked more than once to take out amateur's stoplosses. The answer may be to take out an option or long-term binary bet.
Personally, I am short. And if we spike the highs again, I will short again.

Originally posted by SantaClaus View PostI agree with everything you have said, apart from timing. I don't think there will be a rally in Q1 and I wouldn't put a time limit of 8 weeks on this. Timing and stoploss placement are the most difficult things.

Your 100% correct re market timing. I am playing the short via the 2x short FTSE ETF for the most part and a minor punt via a spread bet. I will look into binary options though never used them before but they could come in handy.Comment
