A CONSOLIDATING TUESDAY

FROM AN EXPERIENCE
1. The market expects you to accept losses.  If you want to play in the market you better be prepared to play by the market’s rules.  Accept the losses, make them small based on proper risk parameters, and the market will consider it a tithe.  Just set it aside and help pay for a pew, not the entire church.
2.  The market wants you to admit when you are wrong.  Commit to admit.  If the market is always right, and it is, then go ahead and let the market know NOW that you understand and accept its omnipotence.  Broadcast it to the heavens and to depths of the earth; broadcast it to your friends and family; broadcast it to your neighbors; broadcast it in every chat room you use to brag in.   Let everyone know you will be wrong more often than right and that you are OK with that.  If the market knows you do not mind being wrong the market will leave you alone.
3.  The market will reward your discipline.  Let’s face it, the market is one disciplined son of a gun.  When it says it is going to crush the bears with their death cross and the bulls with their golden cross it does.  When the market says a bearish economic report does not matter I am going higher anyway it will.  When the market says that cute little support line you drew is nothing but “a lead pencil and I am an eraser”, then erasing it will go.  Stick to a discipline of listening to what the market is saying and the market will whisper its direction instead of shouting its lies.
4.  The market is the calculator.  If you are attempting to reach 10 via the calculator, there are many and various ways of getting there:  5+5, 2+8, 15-5, 25 –15, or even  2 + 2 –1 –1 –2 –2 +3 +3 +3 + 3.  When it comes to making money in the market our calculator may want to make it to 10 much quicker than the market does and we may want to add 5 + 5 to get there but be prepared for the market to take its own sweet time adding things up.  If all that matters is getting to 10, then make sure the road you take is paved with minuses along with pluses along the way or all your money will be going to the 5508 (punch this number into your calculator and turn it upside down to see what it spells), which will make the employee a very unhappy and broke individual.


 #The market does not beat them. They beat themselves, because though they have brains they cannot sit tight. Old Turkey was dead right in doing and saying what he did. He had not only the courage of his convictions but also the intelligence and patience to sit tight.
- Jesse Livermore
#After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.”
- Jesse Livermore
#What beat me was not having brains enough to stick to my own game – that is, to play the market only when I was satisfied that precedents favored my play. There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is also the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time. No man can have adequate reasons for buying or selling stocks daily – or sufficient knowledge to make his play an intelligent play.”
- Jesse Livermore

RATE CUT CANNOT BE PREDICTED: RBI
Amid widespread demand for a reduction in interest rates by banks, RBI today said rate cut cannot be predicted at this moment.
“You cannot say when the rate cut will come. Wait for our September policy,” RBI Deputy Governor H R Khan said on the sidelines of a function organised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) here.
The Reserve Bank is scheduled to review its monetary policy on September 17.
Khan’s comments incidentally come on a day when Finance Minister P Chidambaram asked banks to cut interest rates and keep EMIs at affordable levels to encourage sale of consumer durables that will restart the engine of manufacturing.
“The middle class is complaining about increasing EMIs and stretching payment cycle. The middle class, which consumes consumer durables postponing purchases, and that is not good for the industry,” he said.
“EMI must be kept at affordable level so that people will buy two wheelers, cars, refrigerators, washing machines, cooking ranges, mixies and grinders.
“That will keep the engine of manufacturing going and large industries continue to produce these goods. The suppliers of parts and accessories in the small and medium enterprises will continue to do business.” Chidamabram said.
A fall in inflation in July has boosted hopes of a rate cut by RBI. Inflation based on Wholesale Price Index (WPI) declined to 6.87 per cent in July from 7.25 per cent in June. It is, however, still above the RBI¿s 5-6 per cent comfort level.
Khan also said RBI is taking steps for flow of capital with focus on creation of non-debt capital, “We are trying to improve capital flows through FDI and NRI deposits.”
On rupee’s exchange rate volatility, Khan said, “Our approach is that there should be orderly movement of rates in the market and there should not be any volatility.”
“Let us see what can be done to contain gold demand,” he said, adding a committee formed by RBI will come out with its report in two-three months.
Earlier addressing ICAI’s conference, Khan said focus should be on the domestic exploration of oil and gas as 70 per cent of it were being imported while 100 per cent of gold requirement was also coming from other countries.
He also underlined the need to increase agricultural productivity in order to survive the impact of the global financial crisis.
RBI to decide on rate cut in Sept
RBI is taking steps for capital flow into the country and will decide interest rate cut in its Sepetmber policy.
“You cannot say when the rate cut will come. Wait for our September policy,” RBI Deputy Governor H R Khan said at the sideline of a function organised by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) here.
Stating that RBI was taking steps for flow of capital with focus on creation of non-debt capital, Khan said “We are trying to improve capital flow through FDI and NRI deposits.”
On the market slide, he said RBI was making efforts to contain rate volatility. “Our approach is that there should be orderly movement of rates in the market and there should not be any volatility.”
The RBI deputy governor said import of the yellow metal has come down and a committee formed by the apex bank will come out with its report in two-three months. “Let us see what can be done to contain gold demand,” he said.
Earlier addressing ICAI’s conference, Khan said focus should be on the demestic exploration of oil and gas as 70 per cent of it were being imported while 100 per cent of gold requirement was also coming from other countries.
He also stressed on the increase of agricultural productivity in order to survive the impact of the global financial crisis.

THIRSTY BULLS THURSDAY

FROM AN EXPERIENCE
The psychological factor for investing has 5 areas. These include a well-rounded personal life, a positive attitude, the motivation to make money, lack of conflict [such as psychological hang ups about success], and responsibility for results.
-Dr. Van K. Tharp (a psychologist specializing in working with traders)
The composite of a losing trader would be someone who is highly stressed and has little protection from stress, has a negative outlook on life and expects the worst, has a lot of conflict in her/her personality, and blames others when things go wrong. Such a person would not have a set of rules to guide their behavior and would be more likely to be a crowd follower. In addition, losing traders tend to be disorganized and impatient.
Many people actually want to lose on a subconscious level.
Won’t- Phrases include: “The market won’t…” or “I won’t make money”. Notice a theme here? You are part of the market, you are not the market. Not getting what you expect, even if it is positive, confuses the brain. If you expect to lose and don’t it is still a bad outcome. Your brain is going through enough as it is. The market is a one way walkie talkie, you listen, it talks.
Can’t- Phrases include: “The market can’t..” or “I can’t…” or “I can’t lose anymore”. Yes the market can, go look at a chart. Go look at a Fed day or about any chart from 2008. Not only can it happen, it does happen. There are no more once in a lifetime moves in the market. There are and always have been life changing moves. No one ever said trading was easy but at least in the case of futures someone is taking your money. If you think you can’t, you probably wont. The market will take every penny you have. If can take every penny you put at risk. Fix the problem, when you run out of money it is too late.

THURSDAY 'OUT OF THE BLUE'..???





FROM AN EXPERIENCE

Developing a Winning Attitude will stop negative thoughts from creeping in, and outside influences from changing your plan. Here are my thoughts about developing a winning attitude:
# A positive attitude enhances your market performance.
# Don’t dwell on losses if they are part of the system’s performance.
# Attaining a goal starts by having a goal. Avoid setting goals that cannot be achieved. Achieving your goals means sticking to your system each day.
# Achieving your goals means doing the homework before the market opens.
# Achieving your goals means placing all of orders ahead of time.
# Understand how your system is constructed and its maturity before you take the first trade.
# Achieving your goals means following through from start to finish.
# Focus on the next winning trade, and leave the last trade behind.
# Be organized, consistent, set goals and follow through.

-As soon as a trade is contemplated, a trader must know at what point in time he’ll be proven wrong and exit a position. If a trader doesn’t know his exit before he takes the entry, he might as well go to the racetrack or casino where at least the odds can be quantified.
-Livermore was famous for throwing out a small position and waiting for his thesis to be confirmed. Once the stock was traveling in the direction he desired, Livermore would pile on rapidly to maximize the returns.
There are several ways to buy more in a winning position — pyramiding up, buying in thirds at predetermined prices, being 100% in no more than 5% above the initial entry — but the take home is to buy in the direction of your winning trade –  never when it goes against you.

“It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.”
One method that satisfies the desire for profit and subdues the fear of a losing trade is to take one half of your profit off at a predetermined level, put a stop at break-even on the rest, and let it play out without micromanaging the position.

QURAN WRITTEN IN SADAAM's BLOOD
Back in 1997, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein supposedly commissioned a copy of the Qur’an, the Islamic holy book, to be written in his blood. He reportedly donated 27 liters for the project.
 Two years later, the project was completed. Hussein said the book was his tribute to God because his son survived an assasination attempt.
And now, after the fall of Saddam, no one knows what to do with the book.
An Iraqi citizen summarized the dilemma to UK’s The Guardian back in 2010. On one hand, it’s illegal to write the Qur’an in blood. But it’s also illegal to destroy the Holy Book:
“On one flank had been the government, doing all it could to prevent access. The Shia-led regime is highly sensitive to the re-emergence of any symbols that might lionise the remnants of the Ba’athist rank and file, which still orchestrates bombings and assassinations every few days.
And then there are the Sunnis themselves, who are fearful of government retribution if they open the doors and of divine disapproval if they treat this particularly gruesome volume of the Qur’an with the reverence of a holy book.”
Right now, the book is displayed page by page in an Iraqi museum.
It’s also estimated that the book is worth “millions of dollars,” the Guardian reported.

ANGRY BULLS ALL OVER...?

FROM AN EXPERIENCE 
Came across an interesting pamphlet on Crises and Panics by James L. Fraser. It’s an interesting if brief history up through the early 60s. I thought I would share his comments on identifying traits and causes of panics/crises. I am paraphrasing a bit and not completely quoting him on each bullet point here. Bear in mind, this was written in 1965.
Traits:
1) Extravagance of living, first by a few, and then by many…
2) General belief in impregnable prosperity…
3) Lavish private expenditures, which appear to be natural offshoots of immense federal projects…
4) An appetite for speculation
5) Easy money and availability of credit
Indications of impending crises:
1) Rising prices
2) Increased activity of established businesses seeking more production, more sales…
3) Active loan demand
4) Strong increase in labor employment
5) Extravagant public and private expenditures
6) Speculative mania, together with dishonest methods, fraud
7) Labor strikes and increased general violence / social instability
  Excessive pride of opinion, especially an “American First” attitude
Causes:
1) Great failure of confidence at crucial moment(s)
2) Magnificent abuses of credit
3) Readjustment of conditions to changes in values/prices
4) General fall in prices
5) Changes in the monetary unit / revaluation
6) Contractions of or lack of money
7) Over production or under consumption
  Psychological tendencies which covers a multitude of ideas, of which only a few ever hit the public press.
I also found his comments on “The Permanent Crisis 1960-?” interesting:
“Homer said ‘After the event, even a fool is wise.’ I suppose before the event, even a wise man looks foolish. Today, with strong opinions and solutions being voiced daily, a wise man tries to look for facts and thoughts which are forgotten in the heat of backing the opinion of the moment. Social control is exercised now more than ever before. We have a service-oriented economy, supported by the Federal Government as a prime mover in all walks of life. This is social action. We may not wish it or like it but we have it.”
The rest of the pamphlet is also a great read, and reminds one of a quote from my favorite book of the good book (this is for Gibbons):
That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come by those who will come after.

SPAIN WILL NOT SEEK BAIL OUT: EU SOURCE
Spain will not seek euro-zone financial aid beyond an agreed rescue for its banks if more conditions than those already agreed for recapitalising lenders are attached, an EU source said Tuesday.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is under pressure to call in financial assistance for the Spanish state, not just its banks, but is holding off awaiting a European Commission assessment of new spending targets drawn up for 2013 and 2014.
The Spanish government said on Friday it planned savings of 102 billion euros ($125 billion) by 2014 as it stepped up efforts to bring its strained public finances back within 3.0 percent of gross domestic product, the normal EU limit.
That assessment is unlikely to be complete until mid-September. Eurozone finance ministers are due to meet on September 14-15 in Cyprus, itself in dire financial straits and possibly in need of aid following talks on loans from ally Russia.
“If the Commission considers that the [Spanish] budgetary plan is satisfactory, there will not be a need for further conditions,” the EU source said of Rajoy’s position, referring to terms for any subsequent loans from the European Financial Stability Facility or mooted European Central Bank intervention in short-term bond markets.
In June, Spain secured a 100 billion euro credit line from the EU for its stricken banking sector but investors fear that with its borrowing costs rising, the country may in the end need a bailout.
Last month, Brussels gave Spain an extra year to balance its books, saying it must bring down its public deficit to 6.3 percent of GDP this year, 4.5 percent next year and then 2.8 percent in 2014.
After Spanish borrowing costs skyrocketed in the interim, ECB chief Mario Draghi last week raised the prospect of direct intervention in the bond markets so as to bring down eurozone borrowing costs — but contingent on government support and subject to conditions.
“I want to know what these measures are to see if they are adequate,” Rajoy said afterwards. “Then I will take the best decision for the general interest of the Spanish people.”
On Monday Spanish stocks leapt upwards, and after speaking with US President Barack Obama in a telephone call later in the day, Rajoy “stressed the efforts the government and Spaniards have undertaken to reduce the public deficit and come up with an ambitious programme of structural reforms,” according to a statement from his office.

JUST 21% INDIAN MBA's ARE EMPLOYABLE
The employability of management graduates in India has declined in the past five years, as only 21 per cent of MBAs surveyed are ‘employable’, a study has said.
According to the MBAUniverse.com–MeriTrac employability study 2012, which covered 2,264 MBAs from 29 cities and 100 B-Schools, beyond the Top 25, only 21 per cent are employable.
The previous study of 2007 by MeriTrac had placed employability index at 25 per cent.
However, the number of MBA seats in India has grown almost four fold — from 94,704 in 2006-07 to 3,52,571 in 2011-12 ¿- resulting in a five-year compounded annual growth rate of 30 per cent, but their employability rates have fallen, the study said.
The students were tested for verbal ability, quantitative ability and reasoning by using internationally standardised tests on behalf of recruiting companies.
The index of employability, at 21 per cent mark leaves scope for improvement considering that organisations hire from this talent pool for strategic roles and this is the managerial pool that companies bank on, the study pointed out.
“This report clearly brings out the employability gaps across various competencies and highlights the need for scientific examinations and tests to align the candidate skills to employability metrics,” MeritTrac Services India CEO and Director S Murlidhar said.
Overall average percentage score obtained by MBAs in verbal ability, quantitative ability and reasoning was 52.58 per cent, 41.17 per cent and 37.51 per cent respectively.
While performance on verbal ability seems to be satisfactory, reasoning is an area where there is scope for improvement. Considering that the elements of the reasoning test are crucial to making sound management decisions, this is a result which warrants closer attention, the study noted.
“Questions are asked about the talent coming out of MBA colleges, and whether they create a workforce responsive to the needs of the economy like understanding of business and on-the-feet thinking. So, decision-making skills are being valued more than ever,” MBAUniverse.com Chairman Amit Agnihotri said.

RICHARD DONCHIAN RULES
Richard Donchian is known as the father of trend following. His original trend following ideas form the basis for all trend following success that has followed. Below in an excerpt from an article written in 1995 about his 5 and 20 day moving average system:

On Wall Street there are two conflicting adages:
1. “You’ll never go broke taking a profit.”
2. “Cut your losses short and let your profits ride.”
Experience has shown that in commodities trading, the first of these “old saws” is dangerous and misleading, while the second may well be regarded as the one lesson the inexperienced commodity trader should learn if he wishes to have a better-than-even chance to come out ahead.
Every well-designed, trend-following, loss-limiting method for trading in futures (or stocks) rests on the basic principle that a trend in either direction, once established, has a strong tendency to persist, at least for a time. Among the many trend-following approaches now in use are the Dow Theory, point-and-figure chart techniques, swing methods (other than the Dow Theory), trendline methods, weekly-rule methods and moving average methods. We’ll focus on moving average methods and, in particular, the comparatively simple five- and 20-day moving average method.
The Method
The rules for the five- and 20-day moving average method break down into two categories: general and supplemental.
General rules:
1. The extent of penetration of the moving average is broken into units, depending on price level. For commodities selling over 400 (wheat, soybeans, silver), for example, a penetration of 40 cents is required (Donchian had six price classes in the days before interest rates and stock index futures).
2. No closing penetration of the moving averages counts as a penetration at all unless it amounts to at least one full unit (39 cents in Rule 1 was not enough for penetration – it had to be 40 cents to count).
Basic Rule A: Act on all closes that cross the 20-day moving average by an amount exceeding by one full unit the maximum penetration in the same direction on any one day on a preceding occasion (no matter how long ago) when the close was on the same side of the moving average. 
For example, if the last time the closing price of cotton was above the moving average it stayed above for one or more days, and the maximum amount above on any one of the days was 64 points, then when the closing price of cotton moves above the moving average, after having been lower in the interim, a buy signal is given only if it closes above the average by more than 64 points (the unit in cotton is 0.10). 
This principle – the requirement that a penetration of the moving average exceeds one or more previous penetrations – is a feature of the five- and 20-day method that distinguishes it from other moving average methods.
Basic Rule B: Act on all closes that cross the 20-day moving average and close one full unit beyond (above or below, in the direction of the crossing) the previous 25 daily closes.
Basic Rule C: Within the first 20 days after the first day of a crossing that leads to an action signal, reverse on any close that crosses the 20-day moving average and closes one full unit beyond (above or below) the previous 15 daily closes.
Basic Rule D: Sensitive five-day moving average rules for closing out positions and for reinstating positions in the direction of the basic 20-day moving average trend are:
1. Close out positions when the commodity closes below the five-day moving average for long positions or above the five-day moving average for short positions by at least one full unit more than the greater of 
a) the previous penetration on the same side of the five-day moving average or 
b) the maximum point of any previous penetration within the preceding 25 trading sessions. If the distance between the closing price and the 20-day moving average in the opposite direction to the Rule D close-out signal has been greater within the prior 15 days than the distance from the 20-day moving average in either direction within 60 previous sessions, do not act on Rule D close-out signals unless the penetration of the five-day average also exceeds by one unit the maximum distance both above and below the five-day average during the preceding 25 sessions.
2. After positions have been closed out by Rule D, reinstate positions in the direction of the basic trend 
a) when conditions in Rule D, point 1 above are fulfilled, 
b) if a new Rule A basic trend signal is given, or 
c) if new Rule B or Rule C signals in the direction of the basic trend are given by closing in new low or new high ground.
3. Penetrations of two units or less do not count as points to be exceeded by Rule D unless at least two consecutive closes were on the side of the penetration when the point to be exceeded was set up.
Supplementary General Rules
1. Action on all signals is deferred for one day except on Thursday and Friday, For example, if a basic buy signal is given for wheat at the close on Tuesday, action is taken at the opening on Thursday morning. The same one-day delay applies to Rule D close-out and reinstate signals.
2. For signals given at the close on Friday, action is taken at the opening on Monday.
3. For signals given at the close on Thursday (or the next to last trading day of the week), action is taken at the Friday (or weekend) close.
4. When there is a holiday in the middle of the week or a long weekend, signals given at the close of sessions prior to the holiday are treated as follows: 
a) for sell signals, use weekend rules; and 
b) for buy signals, defer action for one day, as is done on regular consecutive trading sessions.
A word of caution
The five- and 20-day moving average method, and most other trend-following methods, for that matter, are not good to follow unless you are prepared to include in your program a sufficient number of futures to provide broad diversification. Risks are increased to an inordinate degree if you try to follow the method in one or just a few selected contracts.
The commodities that are in a pronounced trend and are not giving, new signals are frequently the ones in which the best results are attained. Therefore, in starting a new program it might be advisable not to wait for new signals but to take positions in the direction of prevailing trends in those not giving new activation advice. Because the markets are moving so wildly, however, it might be best to 
a) go in the direction of the trend only after one or more days of counter-trend movement, plus a day move in the direction of the basic trend, and 
b) to use an arbitrary stop on positions taken without waiting for new signals.
Remember, five and 20 days are not necessarily the best lengths for moving averages. And, most probably, the action rules themselves, as outlined above, could be refined and improved. Also, it may be that exponential moving averages, weighted moving averages, moving averages based on highs or lows or daily means, or some combination of all these, would produce superior results.
In this field of technical study it is probably safe to state that the beginning of wisdom comes when you stop chasing rainbows and admit that no method is perfect. When you find yourself willing to settle for any comparatively simple method that in tests over a long period of time makes money on balance, then stick to the method devotedly, at least until you are sure you have discovered a better method.
