Commodities plus John Carter

  • Stopped out of Peru Copper (PCU) and my Freeport-MacMoran preffered is getting whacked as copper and gold falls.
  • Oil continues free fall.
  • Gold having trouble finding support so am getting stopped out these positions as well.
  • Stopped out of Bunge last week as soy bean pricing goes asunder.
  • The inverse S&P ETF position, SDS, helps mitigate losses somewhat.
  • John Carter is the author of Mastering the Trade.  This is pretty much the modern bible for traders.  He is a smart dude, disciplined and opportunistic.  Carter’s bearishness beginning mid-year of 2008 stimulated me to go to 90% cash. He is agnostic as to trading direction, he lets the market tell him.  He has a terrific web site that is available at various fee structures.  He has a video available most days, one for a fee and another free.  Here is his free video from last night.  His pessimism for this week is intimidating. http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=ISDuq&m=1f.U6.WE_M0f5r&b=jxo41lm.VHzv.G3Dlfx3pw
