What do we do now?

Risk is high. Market's been trading sideways for a while, but now it looks like it's rolling over. There is lots of overhead supply created by people buying in the range and now stuck with a loss. The longer we stay below the range the more willing these people will be to sell and that can create even more selling. For now even though it looks like we are going to roll over,  I would not go and short yet, wait for a bounce, second entry is higher probability trade. Staying away from the long side now except for pickings in some areas, like metals, that can move independently of the market.

Friday's News : Investigation of Molycorp, Inc. ;

there was lots of overhead supply before the news, now even more scared people, so it's going to be interesting to watch the price action next week
do we find support and turn around, or do we follow through on the gap, break down through support and accelerate, or do we stay in the range and find the fairest value in there for awhile

How Great Can You Be?

Some days trading will feel like a lion fight.

Remember that if you are going to fight every day, then you are going to get wounded from time to time and you will have scars. Don’t lick your wounds….. and realise 
that the scars you wear are a sign of a competitor. Just because you have a 
bad day fighting, does not mean you don’t know how to roar.

The first secret of success.

"People become really quite remarkable when they start
thinking that they can do things. When they believe in
themselves they have the first secret of success."
