OIL bottomed?

With OIL so weak, last week seems to have the heaviest Volume and a bounce back, with Saudi's tone changed. I believe last week is the bottom at least short term for USO. I started the position around here and the stop out would be the low of last week. I do expect the selling into the year end just because fund mgr do not want to list this in the statement. After it, most will believe USO Will be higher by the end of 2015. Is it possible for it to move into the 20s or 30s.. without the Fed not fear the eventual drop in the general market?

China's continue support on the market

Since the last recent support from China, this should be seen as a multi stage support to as least, not allowing the economy to come near a hard landing. Each successive support will only push up the stock market and thus, LFC, BABA, BIDU, WUBA, etc should be on your list to accumulate. The Chinese New Year is as important as the Thanksgivin and Xmas holidays in the West. Holding onto these China plays til before the Lunar New Year should be wise. Buy with caution, the wind is definitely blowing that way

Happy Holidays

Today is the Quiet day as expected. It looks  as if BABA can predict China's market weankess. However, I continue to believe BABA should shine next year as China will continue to prop up the market. If something does happen to Europe or Russia. I believe China should attract the most investment if China intend to continue its slow soft landing with supportive measures along the way.

Happy Holiday to All. May Putin be great enough not to turn off energy export to Europe during this holiday!

back from break

BABA looks weak for preholiday and china somehow isn't as strong. that indeed surprises me. however, FB and AAPL should be the staples and I would still bet on BABA long term as the choice for Mutual Fund to get the right exposures to China. 

Tomorrow is the Eve's... same old. expect earlier profit taking and thats it. volume will really die very soon then for the rest of the year... i expect the losers in the year to lose more ground follow by lots of speculative bettings on the half dead stocks ...

example

I am expecting Coal and Oil tanker stocks soon to be in the spot light as Japan is stockpiling Oil in tankers and Accumulating Coal Interest since they are no longer a nuclear powered country. What other means do they have? it comes to mind of BTU, ACI, ANR, TNK, etc...

just some thoughts thinking ahead

Whats coming this Xmas Eve?

Halloween, we had the Yen Massacre. Thanksgiving, we had the Oil Massacre. Whats in stock for this Christmas? something for Gold may be?

the early weakness has arrived. people have to sell the losers and take a little profit. then its all for the window dressing needs. comes January, we have another cook job report and First of the year investment from people. Generally, the 1st month may have a dip then all those IRA and 401K will dive in thinking nothing will ever go wrong with Yellen is there.

View into Next Week

Next Week, its only naturally for some selling earlier then volume fades, VIX spikes down, money manager try to get rid of bad positions to offset some gains before they take more gains in January. So I expect some early weakness then full blown Fed Mandated mini Rally, if there are still some shorts to squeeze. Going long names like MSFT, BABA, AAPL, IBB, SPY still would make sense til 2nd week of January before some profit taking occurs.

I am personally LONG - BABA, VIP and a little USO ( accumulating)

With OIL, their intention is obvious and if their work fail them, Saudi will be doomed as well. Change of tone from the Saudi should say when the oil bottoms. This is a Obama mandated fall in USO since QE is stopped. Some Idiots truly believe lower OIL will be better off for consumers.

I will take any weakness in AAPL, BABA or MSFT to get some calls for mid week Jan. The Fed has done so much, they wont let the last week or two spoil their printing work. they will print some fireworks into the end.  There is an Economic war going on around the world. Gold Back RMB will soon be revealed to take on the USD. May the Russia sell their GOLD to China in order to upset the current Central Bank induced happy days for the USA? and Russia peg their currency to RMB? that surely will surprise lots of so call economists.

BABA is a black sheep in disguise? What is it?

Here at the Close, on a weekly Chart... I am expecting next 2 weeks with lots of upside on this name til Mid January. will start accumulate a few more Calls on this.

Looking at a 4 hr chart on BABA, near the end of the year, its time for window dressing and BABA has been the Hottest China Stock in 2014. Will Fund Managers add BABA to show they did participate?

With Volume decreasing as the holiday nears, the profit taking seem to be schedule for January.
This is setting up to be quite interesting. SSEC has been on fire. This is the Biggest and Hottest and the most competitive company in China. Will it not the be biggest winner soon?

I am betting a few coins on BABA for the holidays.
