Avalon Commodities Trading: Not So Fast With The Price Rise Mr Barista

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/11/not-so-fast-with-price-rise-mr-barista.html

Monday, November 20, 2006. Not So Fast With The Price Rise Mr Barista. Last week I opined. That I would really have to get my trading act together to cope in the potential price rise at Mrs's favourite cafe'. A happy wife is a happy life, so rather than put the khyber on her cafe' society spending, I'll just have to step up my trading performance. That must mean even more trend-lines right? So is there support at the support in this March. Coffee contract. There is some evidence but no "case closed" ...

Avalon Commodities Trading: Gold Makes It to Wallstrip

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/gold-makes-it-to-wallstrip.html

Monday, December 18, 2006. Gold Makes It to Wallstrip. If you've never watched Wallstrip. You should get over there right now and subscribe. entertaining, educational, funny. Howard. Lindsay et al are doing a great job. I've never mentioned it here because, well, it's mainly about stocks, and this is a commodities blog. So it was really cool to see todays episode all about the yellow metal:. It's reminded me that I've been remiss in mentioning gold, apart from the odd quip here and there. Why? Thanks my ...

Avalon Commodities Trading: Copper Cropper

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/copper-cropper.html

Wednesday, December 20, 2006. Regular readers of this blog will notice that I have given a lot of attention to copper futures over the last 6 weeks or so. The reason is that I think it could be a good leading indicator for the health of the US/western economy - China story interplay. The precious metals have currency/inflation implications affecting price, and equities. well in my opinion that's fantasy land affected more by spin than economic factors. Now, it's not a convincing break by any stretch of t...

Avalon Commodities Trading: Copper To Come A Cropper

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/copper-to-come-cropper.html

Monday, December 18, 2006. Copper To Come A Cropper. Or so says ABN Amro Holding NV metals analyst Nick Moore in London. Apparently the fundamentals of base metals are deteriorating as the economy looks to be slowing down and more supply comes on-line. Read all about it in this Bloomberg Article. However, in the same article analysts are bullish on Gold and Soybeans:. Folks really are bullish on the gold story and the gold bugs really do put up a convincing case. It's almost so universal I'm tempted ...

Avalon Commodities Trading: Cotton - Low Volatility Heads Up

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/cotton-low-volatility-heads-up.html

Tuesday, December 12, 2006. Cotton - Low Volatility Heads Up. Cotton futures have been doing very little in the last 10 weeks apart from trade in a range from about 51 to 54.4 c/lb. Well, yesterdays bar might have the bulls sitting up and paying attention, but ostensibly sideways. I wouldn't go calling them cheap or underpriced, but buying could finally be considered in my opinion. Price Chart (delayed 20 min). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogging At A New Space.

Avalon Commodities Trading: Get Fired Up For The Day With A Haka

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/get-fired-up-for-day-with-haka.html

Monday, December 18, 2006. Get Fired Up For The Day With A Haka. TradeKing is suggesting that performing a Haka to warm up for trading. Might be a good idea. The Haka is a dance performed famously by the New Zealand All Blacks (the national rugby team) immediately before kick-off. Essentially, it is a war dance of the indigenous Maoris designed to scare the bejeezuz out of any adversary. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogging At A New Space. Market Recap Aug 19, 2016.

Avalon Commodities Trading: Cocoa Bull Going For A Romp

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/cocoa-bull-going-for-romp.html

Monday, December 11, 2006. Cocoa Bull Going For A Romp. On December 5, I pointed out on this blog some overpriced volatility on Cocoa Futures. And suggested that selling some premium over this contract could be a good idea. I also thought that the volatility skew and seasonal tendencies suggest risk on the upside. By implication, and if that risk is accepted as real, delta should be kept long. In other words, sell puts, bull credits or whatever. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogging At A New Space.

Avalon Commodities Trading: When They Sell Silver...

http://avalontrading.blogspot.com/2006/12/when-they-sell-silver.html

Friday, December 15, 2006. When They Sell Silver. They really don't mess around. As it stands at this moment, silver is down 7%. That is a big move in one day and represents a few dollars under $5,000 PER CONTRACT. Longs will nevertheless be happy with their gains since the October low, but it's still a lot of money to give back. (presuming not liquidating). Gold has also put in a bearish day, being down a point and three quarters. Great site. Keep up the good work.). Thanks for the comment! The bull arg...
