Good Morning, People often say that usually, things come in 3...... Not only did global markets get 'crunched' last night (DOW down 330+ points)... ouch..ouch..ouch.. Not only did the USD rally to 12-year highs, putting further pressure on commodities ... But I also received a text message from my sister in London at 3am, saying that her whole department is being made redundant ... At least breakfast is good today - porridge with berries and a coffee... If you recall in my notes last week, we did advise clients to trail stop losses higher to protect profits AND take some profits off the table... Yes, we do have a few long positions in our core portfolio however, our current portfolio is also balanced with some shorts... i.e. PTM, WOR, MTS etc Deutsche Bank last night advised that the SP500 index could fall by a further 9%...... Wow....... Yes, this could occur and being stock specific, sector specific and taking an active approach is the key to making money...... Commodities were weaker last night as the USD strengthened... The SPI is pointing to a 50 point fall this morning.
