I'm still staying out and watching in awe as markets move higher. I totally agree with you and think next year will offer some interesting trading opportunities. Best of luck in the currencies and oil markets its not something I would be tackle at the moment. I think I will be discounting this year and hoping for a better one next year. Hey Jezza,

He was in Switzerland at the BIS when 911 hit. What was he doing there? Well there are meetings almost every month to determine World Monetary Policy-and he was there as a director of the Central Banker's Central Bank. We as the USA need our own money supply once more. Something under the control of Congress-not the Bank of International Settlements. A good book-especially if you want to hear things first hand. Alan sure lets the cat out of the bag.

But as for the FTSE I went short some more at 5250 - my sentiment is this a W shaped recession and a similar shaped market movement. If you take a look at the 1929 model - you will see market fell about 50% and rallied back a huge amount of that before plummeting back down again - you're right this has been the rally of the century, and not surprising given the amount of free cash sloshing about in the world today.... but my instinct is telling me that there will be some nervous people out there not wanting to get caught out like they did before. All that needs to happen is a trigger. The fact is - in terms of fundamentals, nothing has changed has it? We are still massively overleveraged and the world's governments are basically planning on inflating their way out of debt (bad news for equities) - if you want an idea of what our market will do in the next few years, I suggest studying the Nikkei. Still, glad to see you are prospering nonetheless and look forward to reading your stuff - and at the end of the day, you can always say that you were the guy that shorted the biggest market rally in recent history and lived to tell the tale! Jez p.s. I dunno if you ever heard the story about the hedge fund guy who started shorting the Nasdaq in late '99 and early '00 - valuations are crazy he said, P/Es of 100+ are unsustainable... and yet the market just kept on climbing. Apparently the story goes he finally gave up as the market broke 5000, shut up shop and took the hit...... a month later the market started to collapse. Oh and by the way, that market fell from 5000 to near 3000 and then bounced up to 4000 and then slid slowly but surely down to 1500ish... markets never fall or rise in a straight line.
