Something a little different…

During your trading and investing, have you ever seen what looks like some strange market action in the early hours of the morning well before the market open and wondered “What’s going on?”. Did you notice that this morning (8th December 2023) on the Aussie markets?

No, it’s not unexplained phenomenon or conspiracy theories – it’s options being exercised. Here’s the latest ‘Trading QuickShot!’ with a quick description of what’s going on.

Has a bonds crisis deepened?

The beginning of a new week this week (the final week of September 2023) after a really ugly week on the markets last week, and everything seems docile in the overall markets today… except the bonds market… truly decimated and now testing 2010/2011 levels. Check out my published thoughts about TLT here:

But is this all that unexpected? Not really. This could be the calm before the storm if trends keep continuing, and you only have to look at the charts to see those trends that have developed. But that’s ok, keep nimble, go with the flow, and keep an open mind as to how each side is thinking. Should a support level in TLT, for instance, develop and a turnaround truly occur (confirmed with indicators), then let’s work with that.

In the meantime, let’s keep an eye on this (as well as the overall markets) on a weekly basis – the latest video is located here (like and subscribe so that you can get the latest updates):

A long hiatus – gift for you – risk management template

Well, it certainly has been a long time between YouTube video discussions, but here we are again, and it’s great to be back. And, to celebrate, especially with the festive season almost here, here’s a special gift for you as well. This is the risk management spreadsheet that is mentioned during the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/hU6XfhM1OYY) , which I hope you find useful. Enjoy! And may you enjoy a wonderful festive season with your family, friends and loved ones. 🙂

Hydrogen stocks on the ASX

Hi everyone,

OK, so this was the question that was referred to in my first blog post (https://ivorywolf.org/blog) that inspired me to “get into gear” and set everything up here on WordPress. The question asked on the ASX Traders United Facebook site was “Does anyone invest with decent green hydrogen companies?“. A very good question (thanks Kim) and I hope that the analysis provided below provides some insight from a technical analysis perspective that may prove useful. Obviously, the usual disclaimers apply – see the report and also my “About” section here on the site.

Cheers,
Steven.

Hi everyone,

Honestly, I must admit that thought that I’d never actually be sitting down to ‘blog’ away, but hey – there’s no time like the present, and I was really inspired to do so today whilst bunkered down here in lockdown and asked a question on a Facebook group that I administer about share trading (ASX Traders United) – thanks Kim!

I’ve had this WordPress account sitting idle for about 5 years – wow, that’s bad… but it sure has felt good to spruce it up and get the links active to share a few resources that I’ve found useful. No point hoarding information and not sharing it with the world to add value. And that, my friends, is really what it’s all about, and what this blog is all about too. Hopefully, it’ll be able to provide some useful information, a few useful tips here and there, a couple of laughs, and an interesting journey along the way. Enjoy, and let’s make a difference in this world! 🙂
