Thoughts

This week was rather quiet, FTSE & Dax made new 52 week highs, following new all time highs on the Dow. SPX has not made a new high though.

I missed a perfect 1^st hour reversal trade on AV this week after they cut the dividend, but then AV isn’t on my watch list. Oh well.

Had a few technical problems this week. Well below my 500 BPS weekly target profit this week. At least I showed a profit every day this week.

Miners have held up, and banks are still in bullish mode.

Friday's Non - farm payrolls beat estimates, markets rallied, then sold off after that.

Stay disciplined.

Stay focussed.
