The Weekly View: A Risk Management Strategy
David Fuller's view Read the second
paragraph for their "70% probability" outcome for the remainder of
2011. It is very optimistic, although they look for some additional downside
first.
I agree.
The technical rallies from short-term oversold conditions in stock markets which
I sensed yesterday turned out to be 1-day wonders, or figments of the imagination.
We have seen more capitulation selling today. This included a downside key day
reversal in Brent crude. This is the
third downward dynamic shown since the early-April high was tested later that
month (see also Eoin's comments below).
Brent
is probably the most important chart in terms of what happens over the lengthy
medium term, which I will define here as at least the next three quarters. Meanwhile,
some heavy capitulation selling in crude over the next three months would considerably
increase prospects for a bullish 4Q in equities.
