I have always being asked on the short term basis thinggy..during the time when I made a call on Ausgroup 1 week ago, someone wrote to me why Ausgroup not trending upwards as per my call. As what I have always mentioned, my short term is 3-5days kind of things as in stock trading, there are something called Accumulation and Breakout which the BBs wont want the RP(Retail Investors) to know.. I will try to explain when I have time on my lesson or newsletters soon on my blog.

One more thing on the short term basis is it ranges from 0-3months and doesn't mean that you got to hold till 3 months and offload it. When there is opportunity to sell within 0-3months, you better offload it so that you can grab it at the lowest price once you offloaded it. What I am trying to say is.. Opportunity arises not only on BUY but it also can happen to SELL on any particular stocks.

 My best practice on "sell" for stock trading is..when you are not sure if the price is a good price to offload, always dump half of it first to reap a profit and keep half of it. But of course, if you are very sure it reaches the top peak of a mini-Ewave, and will come down, then sell all of your holding and wait for the re-entry price again for the next rebound.

There are many examples that I have given on my blogs , eg Noble, Capitaland, Ezion, etc etc when I have ride not once but few times on the uptrend wave to gain the profit...

Economists and government officials say that if prices remain in that band, it could benefit the world economy, the future security of energy supplies and even the environment. The price is high enough to drive “It’s a sweet spot,” said Mr Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard professor of international finance.  “It’s not too low that it’s crushing demand for and fiscal crises in oil-exporting countries. And it’s not so high that it’s driving African countries deeper into poverty and threatening the recovery in the US and Europe.” Petrol prices have stabilised along with oil prices, with the average US price for a gallon of regular petrol ranging from US$2.50 to US$2.80 since June. Oil prices have jumped somewhat this week, but they are still within the band they have occupied for months. Light, sweet Texas crude closed on Tuesday at US$82.37 a barrel. Energy experts say that several far-flung global developments have converged to put supply and demand in relative equilibrium, at least for the time being.  Members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries have remained fairly disciplined in complying with their announced production cuts.  Meanwhile, among non- Opec producers, growing oil output in Brazil, Russia and the Gulf of Mexico has counterbalanced production declines in the North Sea, Alaska, Venezuela and Mexico. On the demand side, growing appetites for oil in China, India and other developing nations have been offset by declining demand in the United States and Europe, because of their slowing economies, conservation efforts and growing use of biofuels.  “The current price range provides a geopolitical benefit,” said Mr David Goldwyn, the US State Department coordinator for international energy affairs. “With ample capacity in oil, and commercial inventories at five-year highs, markets are well positioned to absorb any potential supply disruption, even without resorting to strategic stocks.”  While the last four decades have been punctuated by various oil-price booms and busts stemming from oil embargoes, wars and recessions, periods of relative stability lasting months or years have been OIL prices have done something remarkable over the last half-year or so: They have barely budged.  Memories are still fresh of the chaotic climb to US$147 (S$206) a barrel only two summers ago, accompanied by petrol costing U$4.11 a gallon. The spike led to accusations from drivers and politicians that oil companies were price-gouging.  Then crude prices plummeted, along with the world economy, to around US$34 a barrel just over a year ago, only to double again in a matter of months as confidence began to recover.investment in future oil production and in supplies of alternative energy, they note, but low enough that consumers can bear it.renewable energy sources or causing debtcommonplace.  Not surprisingly, oil producers prefer stability to plan their investments. “The worst thing that happens in our industry is volatility,” said Mr G. Steven Farris, chairman and chief executive of Apache Corp. With prices stabilising, his company has increased its exploration and development budget by 50 per cent this year, to US$6 billion.  Meanwhile, many of the independent oil companies are pumping up their oil-exploration investment budgets as well.  “If we still had US$35 oil prices, you would not have seen us be nearly as active in the Gulf of Mexico,” Mr James Hackett, chairman and chief executive of Anadarko Petroleum, said in an interview. The biggest long-term threat to the new balance is growing consumption in China and other developing countries. But some analysts express hope that such countries can curb their oil-demand growth as they build power-transmission lines that will enable them to replace inefficient diesel generators with alternative power sources like gas and nuclear. “Demand will change; supply will change,” said Mr Christof Ruehl, chief economist of BP, the oil company. “The world changes all the time.”  NYT BETWEEN THE LINES Oil prices find a sweet spot Oil prices will jump almost 20 per cent this year, driven by demand from China and emerging markets, according to UniCredit

Anyway, it created another wave channel again at 0.615, those that entered at 0.595 and 0.60, congrats and let's see and wait to lock in for the next profit on Ausgroup..

And again, my short term meaning here is NOT LESS than a WEEK as some thought so, for those that confused with this term.

Thanks,

With the Opec oil cartel seen to be adding more oil into the market, analysts believe prices are not likely to return to the peaks back in 2008, when one barrel was trading at around US$147.  However, they note that underlying real demand is likely to ensure that prices don’t also fall below current levels for long.    — Oil prices look set  to rise gradually to above US$90 a barrel this year but they are not likely to head back to the peaks seen in 2008.Chris Ho wells
