As per the Shooting Stars I discussed last week, they were the warning of the top end of the global stock markets and since then, global stock markets have pulled back in a major sell off starting yesterday.
Taking short (selling) positions in the DAX, FTSE and S&P 500 indices have reaped some very good returns already. We are taking profits at this point or at least moving stops into profits and closing half the position.
A number of opportunities will present themselves for short term traders or swing traders early next week once the pull back consolidates and then begins the next bull wave.
However, if certain critical levels of support are broken today then there is likely an extended sell off in the short term as the dollar strengthens in the very short term.
Stock markets around the globe are feeling the pinch as the dollar gained strength and forced commodities across the board to cool off. This provides an excellent opportunity to short term traders to be able to take short positions, but preferably with entries yesterday.
This dip in the global stock markets and commodity prices also provides an excellent swing trade opportunity to go bullish again in the next wave. Timing is important and should be considered only after hammer candles present themselves.
Watch the dollar for any weakness at resistance levels. Keep an eye out for support levels on the right levels.
Best trading this quarter.

Caution: Shooting star candles
This was the subject line of an urgent mail sent to our trading and investment clients on Tuesday morning 9h05!
Caution: Shooting Star candles across the stock markets and indices especially for Resources so take caution today.
We considered that short term traders should take profits and that investors be aware of a pull back but to use it as an opportunity to add to their existing investment positions at a discounted price in the resource rally.
Some prices have already bounced including Kumba our preferred stock pick. It pulled back to the moving average as support at 31600c and is now sitting right back at 330000c in just 2 days.
Platinum stocks had a similar experience. Some sectors like construction failed to secure a higher top so therein lies a potential opportunity to short the sector and construction stocks like Murray (target 4000c) and Group 5 as well to name a few.
We also discussed how the pharmaceutical sector have topped out and are due for a pull back and it happened this week. Aspen is now testing the 50ema support at 7000c and for medium term investors could prove to be a fair entry level as this is off the high of 7350 or so and provides an opportunity to enter with a 5% discount. It may be early however. Consider confirmations...
GOLD Futures reached $1145 and beyond in the recent rally discussed from $1075 low. The dollar yoyo effect is playing havoc with short term position calls so it is best to wait it out until the dust settle and take the next swing position as it comes.
Keep an eye on TECH stocks.

Make Money Trading
Make Money Trading
This December I was in a fantastic swing trade in a base metal miner called Kumba Iron Ore listed on the Johannesburg Stock Eexchange. The swing trade in this stock signalled as early as 23200c and I took profit at 26000c.
The stock then retraced to 25000c where we entered the swing trade again for the next bullish rally. The stock has flown from there to 32500c in little over a couple of weeks.
I certainly guaranteed myself a year-end bonus by applying the financial and investment knowledge I have and implementing my stock trading plan.
I've been bullish in Platinum and Platinum stocks since early October 2009 and seen Platinum rocket from $1390 to $1580 recently.
My stock picks included Impala Platinum @ 18000c now 21700c, Northam Platinum @ 3900c now 5000c, Lonmin @ 20800c now 25000c and more recently East Plats, Jubilee and Anooraq as smaller platinum miners move after the majors and carry more risk as well.
I make money trading the stock market and teaching people to do the same. Over November my members made 7% return and in December, they made 11% return on their portfolio. These are low risk and high return trading positions mostly in swing trades.
Investors that have lower risk appetite held positions in Kumba and others for longer periods and now look at an average of about 25% return for the last quarter! They carry a lower cost of business due to trading less and paying fewer broker fees.
New Exchange Traded Funds listed globally for Platinum and Palladium metals and this also pushed momentum in these metals. They are bound to provide a good deal of carry-momentum over the next few weeks as these funds pump capital into the market for these metals.
Gold futures have also turned positive again and the bullish swing has taken place from $1075 level to $1145 again. Watch it carefully now as the dollar will determine the next time to entry.
