| I got insomnia at the moment, everytime i try and sleep my head starts buzzing thinking about whats gonna happen in the markets this coming week. Just been looking at the charts for the Mosiac company, the closing price on friday was 141.81$ what would be a really good thing to happen on on Monday is for that price to hold and for the closing price to be above the 142.74-142.99 range. If that happens then a move up towards the next major resistance at 148$ could be on the cards this week That would be fantastic because what tends to happen in ag sector is that MOS or POT lead the way up or down and the others follow. So if MOS rises this week it will drag two other stocks we have, MON and POT with it. It could be a good week, but I need oil prices to stay high and for corn and wheat prices to remain at current levels or go back up. A couple of crop destroying storms in the US would would help us out too  Of course we also need the wider market to stop flushing itself down the toilet everyday  |

The thing about MOS (and POT) is that as they trend up, every now and then they like to correct back to their 50 day moving average. This presents another great opportunity to make extra $$$$ by banking the gains on the upside and then short selling (profit from the drop in value of a stock as opposed to rise) the fall back to the 50 dma Check out the 9 month chart, look at the RSI line at the top. If you had sold short each time it rose above 70 and then covered a week later you would have made money.  I did it for the first time when it topped out around 17th June, i didnt make much because I got nervous and bottled out but on this thread the money aint real so it doesnt matter if things go tits up Long term, I'll keep repeating this cycle until the trend changes.

as for the 2 threads above, no "proof" of me losing an argument. All differing opinions and arguments, some believe it's all about real supply and demand, others about speculation (financial market supply and demand). Obviously we won't know for sure who is right or wrong as there is no intrinsic proof of anything in both views, we will know for sure in the long term though, not in matter of days or weeks PS: I note that you ran away when called on your BS, thanks for playing | |

Top 7 stories on Bloomberg now: •Freddie Mac Short-Term Notes Demand Increases; Shares Fall on Paulson Plan •Stocks in U.S. Slide on Credit Concern; Washington Mutual, Fannie Mae Drop •Treasuries Advance as Stocks Fall Amid Concern Banking Woes Are Worsening •Fannie, Freddie Rescue Is a `Disaster' to Rogers; Goldman Says Sell Shares •Investor Laszlo Birinyi Says to Avoid Financial Shares as `Fires' Spread •Fed Approves Rules to Curb Mortgage Abuses That Led to U.S. Housing Slump •Cerberus's Newest Fund Declines 1% Since 2006 Launch on Financial Turmoil |

The good thing is that MOS on on target to close above 142 and I'm happy about that. It already touched near 147$ today and POT was well up there also. Its confirmation their recent dive is finished and now get ready to head towards new record highs. First Solar looks like its headed to 300$ I sold out at 280 but it isnt finished yet, they just signed their first contract for a solar farm in California. That news came out the day after i sold them. Bugger it! | |

| ^I have noticed a pattern over the past few months. If a plethora of 'good news' financial sector stories emerge on late Sunday, there will be a bloodbath Monday/Tuesday. I guess that the PR companies employed nowadays are so clever at spin, er, ahem, to coin a phrase. |

| ^ I hadnt noticed that pattern, i'll check it out though, I just saw that Securities Exchange Commission are stepping up efforts to take action against rumour spreaders or starters. God knows how they are gonna regulate people gossiping? Quote:
