Introduction: I discussed some of the myths regarding commodities speculation, and introduce the entire series. The Reason for the Markets Existence: We discussed that the commodity futures markets exist, to allow companies, farmers, and others involved in production within the economy to hedge themselves against catastrophic losses. This in turn, keeps unemployment lower, and reduces volatility in the economy. Why Traders Trade Commodities: Ok, if the commercial interests use the commodity markets to protect their business profits, then why are traders in those future markets? We discussed liquidity, and that the commercial interests need that trader liquidity, in order to hedge more efficiently. Without traders, the commercial interests have a very difficult time operating in the markets. So what is the other benefits exist, other than that of traders providing liquidity? We discuss that in thefollowing vlog entry … * * * Note: This is not an investment or trading recommendation.

Well … it’s one of those things where so many issues were tied into one aspect. Becomes a chicken and the egg type aspect. To my view, as soon as the big firms thought:

Elliot wave is one of those things that I’m … aware of? But don’t heavily use. But I’m aware of it, and many of my own trading style ends up ‘matching’ elliot wave.
I’m the type of guy that doesn’t try to predict, but knows when to react; whereas at times, elliot wave, at least for my tastes – gets a little predictive.

I had a GREAT day. I’m still holding all of my dividend stocks still, but was short the e-mini S & P & short Gold, so was able to raise massive amounts of cash. Told subscribers that I personally thought long the Dollar wasn’t a bad idea either.
Anthony Davian and I were on the Twitter feed this morning tweet’ing about our trades. That was WILD.
As far as my technique. I’m more of a ‘read the tape’ kinda guy, and it’s critical to know what’s going on … the WHY of the overall picture

I’m not really into this “predicting” the markets movements. I’m much more the kinda guy tries to understanding what’s going on – on every front – so that when I need to REACT – I can do so well, while adhering to money management principles. So I’m not really a predictive guy, as much as I am a “reactive” guy, that looks for high reward, low risk scenarios.
Should make for a very, very interesting “week in review” podcast

All the problems were caused by lack of regulation on lenders and irresponsible behaviour in the real state market and not the traders.

After doing some math I declined the offer because I would lose the deposit and a few months of payments after getting in red numbers.
But a lot of people didn’t do the math and became victims of this.
Hey Dan,

Thanks and what”s the name of the music you use on your videos, I like it. -

Oh I hear ya. You wouldn’t believe the homes that realtors wanted to put me in.
Yeah, I basically trade (I described it in more depth in a podcast at my blog this week) – after i develop my edge – to the price action, and reading the tape, with moving averages.
The music was actually written and performed by a close personal friend of mine, Paul Young. It’s called “The Other Side” He wrote it about a close friend of ours that was killed in an auto accident about 10 years ago
