ok, cool, so i can get out of my NUGT for a quick profit before friday and get out the way of that binary event.
Futures are up and Asian Indexes are up. Either all governments know something or all collaborated together on this to buy before the news is out and possibly dump after..
To me this just does not make sense. What person in their right mind would buy right before the Brexit news?? If anything people would short like Soros supposedly did along with Carl Icahn.
Yeah I have no idea why people would be so confident in buying right ahead of such an important event If the market gaps up on Friday morning because the British vote to stay in the EU, it could be a good opportunity to short
Yes and the Tourism committee is to recommend Raiders stadium in Las Vegas. Looking forward this will add big revenue for the casinos with MGM being the biggest winner on this.
It's looking like the market will go up after this Brexit vote. Sellers are not strong enough right now. So I'm thinking the game they're playing is gapping the market up overnight and let it drift back during the day. So people see their stocks falling in price, cause oh no Brexit, and sell their stocks. The big players are using the futures market to get their hands on stocks.
Yeah.. Futures now are like they are high on drugs prior to Brexit vote results. I just can not picture your average investor being bullish prior to vote but then again when you look at the overall picture the DAX in Europe is pretty much still down for the year from the January 4th opening. It finished 2 quarters down for this year but it currently up from its previous lows.
Japan's economy is up the creek from the way I see it now. Nikkei was at 20,000 and now it is around 15600-16200 while the YEN gained from 125 to under 105 this year which is horrible for Japan's already lagging economy. I do not see this working out so well. Many Asian economies are not doing so well now these days as exports are down and currencies are too strong to boost exports. Asian economies need lower currencies to boost exports and American consumers need stronger dollar to be able to purchase goods at a cheaper price in America while American manufacturers need a weaker dollar to boost exports (As Trump would tell us lol..)
One thing to keep in mind is that today is roller coaster day in Europe. Every Thursday (or usually in most cases that is) the DAX does a reversal every Thursday. Take now now of Futures for DAX being up 104 points at about 10,145 Let's see how this holds up for today or tomorrow.
