A View of the Markets II
Posted by ray under Market Commentaries
Today we continue with the series. Yesterday, I showed how I use fundamentals to provide a context. But, it’s technicals that determine the details - they provide with the timing, entry, stop etc for an analysis or trade.
I’ll start the series with the indices and in particular with the Australian ASX 200. Enjoy the video!

Very interesting comment about which market is following which.I watch the Dow & SP 500 as this i find affects the night market here in Oz. But the best laid plans of mice and men…i bought some cheese. cheers baz

Hi Baz
Ok. As far as a sequel is concerned, only if you want to hear about Old Ray and that will have to wait for someone other than I to write it.

In a nutshell, we have to combine the right brain with the left brain to sustain innovation.
A first module course combining the Arts with the Sciences in tertiary institutions would lay this foundation for inventiveness and sustain innovations.
Quote
Leaders in modern organizations attempting to pursue
innovation must recognize that success won’t
come through the individual pursuit of invention. As
the science fiction author William Gibson once said,
“The future is already here, it’s just unevenly distributed.”
The firms that best exploit their innovation
networks will shape that future.

As to how your post fits in with your thinking, as well as mine is this:
1. If there is no sharing of knowledge, there will be no passing of the baton , so to speak, to successors who in turn pass on and share their knowledge , for posterity to improve on.
2.Imperial old China is a classic case in point. China invented many scientific papers on , eg printing, the compass, gunpowder, etc. However due to close and selfish pursuits of the Mandarins, their knowledge died with them and the nation instead of progressing, regressed over the centuries, while the Western scientists published their papers for posterity to share and the West progressed ahead of the old China.
The new China has now opened its door to the the world and see what miracles have emerged, with China now at the brink of overtaking the biggest economic power in the world!
3. Being a loner trader, which I am one, does not preclude writing and sharing at forums or weblogs to participate and learn from each other.
Humans cannot live by bread alone ; we need social interaction to have a healthy attitude in life, my thinking.
