DrStool Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Referring to today's late start only! Meanwhile, this relentless rally seems determined to seek higher levels. The 5 day cycle projection on the futures is now 5520. There's resistance there. If cleared, there would be room to run to 5550 today. Spport is at 5500 as we approach the NY open. Below that there's clearance for a huge drop all the way to 5495. And if they break that, then 5490. But if that goes, then we might be talking a real short term reversal of sorts.

DrStool Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 Here Cometh the Grim Repo Man LEE ADLER 1 - LIQUIDITY TRADER- MONEY TRENDS JUNE 20, 2024 Repo data has been an important part of our liquidity analysis for many years.

DrStool Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 I'll tell you what's streamlined and well organized. The French healthcare system. Wow! I am definitely impressed. It delivers efficient, high quality care for all at half the cost of the US system. I went for tests yesterday. The cost to me was nominal. It's not free. The tax rate for health care is 9.2% of taxable income after deductions and exemptions. By comparison, the waste and skimming in the US system is sickening. Americans are brainwashed. What a terrible waste of money and resources. The system serves only the providers. Not the patients. US health care cost as a % of income. Overall it's about 19% of GDP.

Takachi-1 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 45 years in the insurance side of healthcare, Doc, you right times 10. There is no medical "care", its nothing but symptom management for the pharma side and the docs actually "do" nothing. I've had sophisticated tests and no one follows up or explains where you are in the process. Worse, American docs have no education or understanding of diet, nutrition, or the new understandings regarding immune systems and inflammation in the microbiome. Its criminal and it won't/can't change until it collapses. I had an angiogram that was billed at $117,000 but discounted to my carrier down to $15,000. Imagine the poor slob with no insurance or a smaller discount side. In the late 70s I sold the fattest benefit plan you can imagine to a group of lawyers in Colorado for $50 per family per month. Today if you could buy it, it would be $20 grand per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 In my daily swing trade screens from Tuesday's close, 44 charts were in buy setups and 72 were in sell setups. But get this. 6 of the buy setups triggered. 27 of the sell setups triggered. Either that's a big deal, or my algo sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 I had a series of cardio tests. 3 of them. First 1 resting scan first. Then they give you some cookies and water and you wait. Then bicycle stress test. Then, a madeline and water, and wait for the heart to slow. Then another resting scan. When I arrived the processed me in in 10 minutes. They told me the tests would take 4 hours. I was in and out in 3. I have an online healthcare account for payment accounting, medical communications, and coordination between my primary, and the specialists, and me. So far advanced to the US system. Not even close. No wonder France is ranked in the top 10 in the world. US is 43rd, between Azerbaijan and Mexico or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative Divergences since January? So what would have been the practical implications for trading and taking positions? Folks would now say "be cautious", but what does that mean? Reduce position size? Enter now new positions at all? Well, if you would have done that, you would have let many coins laying on the table... I still think that after all technical analysis is the most important of all. A pick up in liquidity or a drainage of it will be reflected in the charts. Sure it helps if you know that there is enough liquidity to support upswings, but we have seen it often in the past that liquidity was late or early, means there was a mismatch between prices and where the pricees should be given the state of liquidity. What do you do then? Nothing? Or rely on liquidity OR charts? This is not meant as a critique Doc, I admire the stuff you do. I only wanted to point out that I had sometimes a hard time to implement the liquidity stuff in my trading, like a setup which looked bullish, but at the same time I knew that liquidity was not that bullish, so I didn't do anything.

On balance, the reports have been bullish and support the bullish TA. Saying that liquidity wasn't bullish leaves a misimpression. They have been. Today's report said, "It's a similar story from the other drivers. There’s enough liquidity to keep the rally going for a bit longer. But the sands of time are falling to the bottom of the hourglass. Long for now, but not for long, looks like the watchword for this market. Tick tock." I also have written repeatedly that liquidity establishes context but TA is for action. Liquidity forecasts tell us where to be on the alert for changes of trend. A negative divergence isn't actionable in itself. It's an alert for change of trend ahead. It tells us that if the divergence isn't resolved and a turn happens, believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
