LL

Lumber: Potential top spottedLumber futures appear to have topped against a massive monthly mode. You can go short with stops above the highs to be safe, target a retest of the uptrend mode from the lows. I overlaid EURUSD and USOIL so you can compare the price action. It's clear we're witneseeing a major dollar rally here. I wouldn't discard its significance. If you're not in any of my recent suggested trades, try to catch this and USDCAD, even buying at market now is viable with stops under yesterday's low. See related ideas for an entry we can take in oil. If interested in my trading signals, or in personal tuition, contact me privately. I'm offering a considerable discount on a packaged course which includes access to my private trading signals list for a year. Cheers, Ivan Labrie.

Is LL The Proverbial Falling Knife??This is a WEEKLY chart of Lumber Liquidators. Take a look back. Notice the stock was rising from about March of 2012 all the way to March of 2014. It has been falling ever since (see the red downtrend line). You don't have to know why it's falling by the way. You just have to realize that it has been falling for a year. If you think now is a good time to get involved with LL you should take note of the gray resistance / support line. It has arrows pointing to it. There is a chance the stock will bounce higher around this level. There is also a chance the stock could consolidate around this level. And there is a chance the stock doesn't even take notice of this line and it just keeps going lower. Personally, I would be VERY worried if the stock price drops below this 4 year old important level. Maybe you should be too... Trade what you see. Not what you think, or hope, or feel, or ...

False breakout...Housing SUCKS. This is the SLOW season coming up, to make it worse. New housing apps down to lowest level in forever, everything about housing SUCKS. GREAT SHORT HERE. Update 11/21: I was a little early on this short! I was happy to buy a few cheap $33.5 weekly puts for next week. I typically don't like to buy options at the end of the week to carry into the next, but, this was one hell of a candlestick up, that hardly seems sustainable. But then again, I never thought the XHB would make it this far. This whole thing is being propped up with HFT/ALGO BS because the whole market s rigged. Look at all the mess: FOREX Scandel, Libor scandal, now the latest commodity scandel, Madoff, JP Morgan and all these banker deaths that seem all too conspicuous. ALL these unusual banker suicides 48 of them in the past year and a half, and now on last night who slit his own throat and wrists? Who does that to themselves? Ridiculous. Many of them at JP Morgan, some who knew each other, some in IT Programming. Probably knew too much. Did you know these institutions carry insurance policies on their employees that are classified? They have a motive to see them killed if they get in the way. THEY COLLECT. I'm not conspiratorial, it's just the way this screwed up place we call planet earth has become. Pretty sickening how greedy and selfish we can be at times. Anyway, this wasn't meant to be a diatribe. There are so many banking scandals it's sick. And none of them go to jail. They to big to fail, and to big to jail. Update: Wow, who would have thought the ECB would finally juice the market, and China drops rates. Next up... does the FED juice the market to keep up? I am finally short XHB at 33.50. I hope there are no more surprises!
