Money Management New 4

AS previously mentioned, I will sell 1 ,3 and 6, all falied probes.
New probe no. 6, ( should have been 7 ).
Item no 3, looks like too many sellers.  I am itching to sell it.

One thing important when you want to sell, sell in an up trend and try to sell near the top to lessen you loses.
Nice lesson, first time I have done that.

Foreign Buying VS Selling 8

It is surprising to see most active blue chips stocks up as of 11 am more than 3%.

How I timed DMC

While most traders were talking about bad news in Europe. price action tells a different story.

But also remember: the chances are that you will not become acquainted with that reason until some time in the future, when it is too late to act on it profitably. Livermore

Foreign Buying VS Selling 7

From March 2009, I am just wondering if Livermore were alive and trading, will he do the same mistake after the crash to 1929 until he went bankrupt.
First time since Dec. 16, foreign selling. Nice thing, the market went up. Fundies need to sell so they have a capital to push the market up.

4 Blue chips up by 4%, RLC, ALI, AC and JFC.
Only 1 Blue chip at minus 1%, that is MER, the rest in up or unchanged.

Price Action

I was damn right about PAX and DMC, should have not sold early. If you follow Livermore system, this is the time to watch for danger signals.

Example of Money Management New 8 Final

Have sold my positions for a very nice  YTD profit. I should have hold on to it. Reading blogs of my position affects my decisions. My Position was DMC and PAX.

I was about to sell my URC, its good that a green signal appeared. ( Reason why I almost sold my URC, Reading Blog!)

I have nothing against a blog, it is were I learned a lot and get Ideas. But, comes a time, when it should be the price and you only. No news, no Blog, no bloomberg or CNBC.

Impeachment trial is more exciting.

Ceiling Plays

Another bad day for ceiling players. FJP closed at 3.18 the other day with a volume of 2,927,000 and value about 8.6 Million pesos.

Have tallied the volume of the opening price 3.19 and above, about 250,000 only were able to sell.
Almost 90% are stuck up.

The biggest problem is the spread of bid and ask price. At 9:52:06 AM, the price was 3.18 to and 9:52:37, it drop 3.00 with volume of 2,000 in just 31 seconds. How can you sell if you are holding 10,000? Next thing was FEAR and panic.

Please take note that FJP ceiling about 10:30AM. the other day. meanng, hypers already sold their positions from 10:30 to 15:30. the other day.

If you tally the volume last December at the price of 1.9 pesos, volume is about 1.7M
And If they sold the 1.7M shares at 3.18, the other day, A whopping 5.4M out of 8.6M for that ceiling day.
Iyong balance na 3.6M, just for losers. Anyway, some expert gurus are still stuck, so lets see what their money can do.

It is simply gambling.

Just sharing my Opinion.

 ( Phisix 4,308 Top, prior to the crash) and  last dec. 16, 70 still stuck up, now only 54.

Nice thing about trend following, you do not have to do anything. Just watch for danger signals. That's it.

My Understanding about the Dow Theory


Why I was insisting DJIA has a small upward bias for 2011.
It was all about Dow Theory. In fact, I have posted a lot of times, referring to 1987 crashed and look what we got.
After Rhea's death, Dow Theory fell into less competent hands. Men who failed to grasp the essential principles of the theory misapplied and misinterpreted it, to the point that it is now generally considered dated and of little use as a technical tool in the modern markets. This is simply not true. I performed a study applying Dow Theory's principles to the Industrial and Railroad (later Transportation) averages from 1896 to 1985 and found that Dow Theory tactics accurately captured an average of 74.5% of business expansion price movements and 62% of recession price declines from confirmation date to market peaks or bottoms, respectively.
