USD/JPY SHORT SETUP - WEEK HOLDFor those of you who like to hold trades for a good amount of time then this is a good opportunity for you! The pair has been over extended again in this ascending channel and looks to repeat history once again. Since the long term bias is short. We can look at taking short positions with confidence and potentially break out of the ascending channel on the lower side making this trade a very good long term outlook if executed correctly.

MAN AND MONEY vs VIRUS! WHO WILL WIN?The picture of the 2019-nCOV is rapidly evolving. Globally there have been >14,000 cases and >305 deaths. The trajectory of spread of this virus has exceeded SARS (2003). In under 20 days there are 14,544 cases. There were less than 20 cases in the same period for SARS. SARS plateaued off at 8,500 cases after 100 days then fell off. What we're seeing in hard evidence is that nCOV is going rapidly exponential - almost doubling in 20 days what SARS reached in 100 days. 8 countries have effectively quarantined China in various ways. AND NOW - China has told everybody to calm down, that it will maintain financial stability and pump their market with USD$173 Billion from Monday 3rd February 2020. The FED and Australia are considering similar moves. The global economic disruption in what was a 'risk-off' situation, is gonna be serious and probably last well over a year. This doesn't mean that the markets will tank over the next year. It means expect bearish pressure. Think also about an 'endpoint'. How will anybody know when it is safe to open borders, trade and travel in China? If the VIX gets above 53 there is serious trouble! Declarations & Disclaimers: For the avoidance of doubt, this post is only about potential impact of a virus in financial contexts. I take no comfort at all in people suffering and dying. Whilst I am sorry about the human consequences, I deal with the markets as an instrument - like any other. It is not illegal or immoral to exploit the movement of any market for any cause. As usual this is not trading advice. If you lose your money, kindly sue yourself.

WATCH OUT - POTENTIAL BLACK SWAN EVENT - VIRUS ATTACKA 'black swan' event is something out of the blue - that creates systemic risk. The 2019-nCOV (virus) is potentially one such thing. The markets have not been prepared for this - at all. Could it be the pinprick that pops the 'tech bubble' that influences markets globally? The shock waves of this itty bitty virus are totally unexpected. I go into some price action in the last few days, on the DJI and explain some of the dangerous features of nCOV. China has basically been quarantined by the international community. This is certainly not good news. It's an unofficial quarantine. Lots of nations have limited contact or isolated China in various ways. The virus is one of the most spreadable in history of all viruses but with a low lethality. That means millions of people could be infected but only about 2% killed by it. And that means the death toll could be serious over weeks, months or years. There is no treatment at this time and no vaccine. Even if a vaccine is developed, vaccinated the whole world is not a workable option. In addition the wide spread of the virus means that it can mutate - rendering any vaccine developed, as ineffective. The next big question is when will this quarantine on China be lifted. It could take months, or probably years - depending on what the nCOV virus does next. There is chatter in the blogosphere that the FED will come to rescue the markets from the virus.. like pfffft! The FED has a lesson coming to them. Disclaimer : This screencast is not intended to advise on taking a position in the markets or making transactions.

Virus creates opport'ies to buy Alibaba at a time investor FEAR The Chinese government will, in time, regain control of the situation and refocus the bulk of its immense power on strengthening and modernizing the world’s second-largest economy. The economic hiccups caused by the virus should be viewed as short-term distractions that create opportunities for long-term investors to buy shares of Alibaba at a time when investors are afraid. BUY STOCKS WHEN MARKETS CRASH AND LOOK THE RESULTS AND REAP HUGE REWARDS WHEN MARKETS RALLY !!! IT WAS TIME AND TIME AGAIN DEMONSTRATED IN HISTORY STICK TO HIGH QUALITY NAMES WHICH ARE LEADERS AND DELIVER STRONG FUNDAMENTALS REGARDLESS OF MARKET CYCLES AND ARE IN LONG TERM SECULAR UPWARDS TREND INTERNET SHOPPING IN CHINA IS JUST STARTED AND ALIBABA IS THE ONLY MAJOR PLAYER ALMOST A MONOPOLY FOR 1.5 BN CHINESE ! WHAT THEY CAL SELL IN ONE DAY IS UNPRECEDENTED AND MIND-BOGGLING ALIBABA DID NOT ENJOY THE EXTRAVAGANT VALUATIONS OF THE MAJOR US TECH COMPANIES SO THIS IS A SAFE BET

How do virus attacks affect Wall Street?This is a very short presentation on how previous virus attacks have affected Wall Street (daily time frame). I go back to 2013, plotting what was seen. This is relevant in relation to the recent Wuhan coronavirus (WCV). Mainstream media have referred to WCV as a "deadly virus". This is frankly nonsense based on current data. The case fatality ratio (CFR) is an important measure in assessing lethality of a virus. The CFR for influenza A(H1N1) in 2009 was 0.45%. For ebola virus, it is overall >50%. For the Wuhan coronavirus (WCV) which may not be one virus strain, the CFR is currently estimated at <3% (I cannot provide references here but people can contact me for links to info). But hold on - the 3% is not (at this time) for large populations of those infected. The average age group of people who have been killed WCV is currently around 60. Did I say 'average'? Yes - I did (which means I know there are some people who have been around 30). Attribution of WCV has also not been 100% caused by WCV either. The 'average' age group may fall (or increase) with time. In summary - ebola is definitely a deadly virus - the markets barely flinched if at all to Ebola. - estimates of lethality of WCV are currently not robust. My conclusion - The media is responsible for selling its news. The media have been irresponsible in feeding panic, in selling its news. News and panic are what rules markets more than hard facts and figures. Will the WCV outbreak be the pin that pricks the bubble? I don't know. It could well be the first of the dominoes to fall, setting off a chain reaction for slow burn down - instead of a serious correction. OR - WCV may well be insignificant. If it is, then expect a raging bull market to rebel! I cannot foresee the future! Declarations & Disclaimers: I am not a virus expert, nor a financial expert.

$nflx going viralEarnings beat, shorts pushed it down bigly, rallied back up the next day, now we're bullish re-testing. There is a virus which doesn't have a cure, doesn't have good data about (expecting China to provide anything legitimate is funny meme), and journos need something to write about. Why not stay inside, watch some Netflix? With a very high short float and big bear funds piling in, reminds me of a certain $tsla setup. Picked up spot shares cost basis 349.41, got the 415 2/14/2020 calls shown by yellow cross as well. Stop for all at 338.61.

VIRUS CAUSES WALL STREET TO SHUDDERNews of one person in the USA being struck my a Chinese coronavirus, cause the markets to retreat on a northward charge. Only some 200+ points. Not much but it is significant. The DJI is highly overpriced at the moment for a whole load of reasons, and it's very twitchy. The fact that the markets reacted to this story at all shows the twitchiness. It's just one case. But usually insiders know before the mainstream media what's going on. News is that moves markets, cuz it's about sentiment more than fundamental value. Many things have shaken the market in recent months. People have been watching closely and nervously - guessing what will prick the bubble to cause a pop. Stay tuned. Anything that rocks this market is worth watching for those who need to get out, or short. This is not advice to short this market. If you lose your money kindly sue yourself.
