Why? Because you say so, or is there some kind of reasoning behind it?

You expect people to make trades based on your recommendation when you refuse to provide a reason for doing so? Sounds like a plan! If your "reliable" market forecasts are any indication, I'm sure this recommendation of yours will make me loads of money!

I recommend that you just monitor the results. Of course there is reasoning behind my analysis. At this time, I am not planning to provide training on downside risk analysis.

 

What is the real purpose of your "recommendation" then if this is not meant to be of any help to anyone?

And what exactly do you mean by "minimal risk"? I mean, you're not going to provide training on "downside risk analysis"? Would you even be qualified to do so?

 

This isn't a stock recommendation board where people are constantly asking "is this a good stock?" It's a trading board, and if you did provide training on "downside risk analysis", it would be much more valuable than simply telling us to blindly go long on two stocks that you say will have "minimal risk". If you actually knew anything about risk, you would know that it can be quite dangerous to enter any position without defined risk. And defining risk as "minimal" is really not a definition at all.

 

Here's an idea for your next trade: Instead of making a trade, wire all your money to my account. PM me for details. Don't worry, the risk to you is "minimal". You'll lose all the money in your account, but the risk is nonetheless "minimal". Really, don't worry, your money will be safe with me.

As previously stated, I recommend that you just monitor the results.

 

Your comments are not respectful. I might be inclined to provide you with more information if you were not so disrespectful in tone and comment. You might benefit from reading the forum rules. Consider how ”Why? Because you say so, or is there some kind of reasoning behind it?” could just as easily have been ‘What is your reasoning behind this?’ This forum works because of the opinions and thoughts of all members.

 

Be considerate of others.

You said in your original post that the two stocks should be BOUGHT, you said nothing about only monitoring them. What you have said in your above post goes both ways...

 

I recommend that you just monitor the results. Of course there is reasoning behind my analysis. At this time, I am not planning to provide training on downside risk analysis.

 

This post is not exactly respectful in tone or comment either. If you recommend that people make a trade based on your recommendation, you should expect that those people will want reasons for your recommendation. If you are unwilling to give any reason, I'm not sure why you would expect anyone to give you any credit. To be blunt, I have no reason to respect you when you come off as a salesman who offers nothing of worth to anyone, and then proceeds to complain because no one respects you.

 

Consider how ”Why? Because you say so, or is there some kind of reasoning behind it?” could just as easily have been ‘What is your reasoning behind this?’ This forum works because of the opinions and thoughts of all members.

 

Given the amount of foresight it would have taken to include your reasoning in your first post, I'm not sure why you failed to do so. Forgive me for being abrasive. I have nothing against you, only against your actions.

I don't see anything about monitoring in your opening post.

Based on your previous "reliable forecast" thread, which turned out to be very unreliable and of very little value when analysed, you should expect to be questioned on your reasoning when you give recommendations as you don't have a very flattering track record on here.

 

I am inclined to think you are just here to eventually promote some kind of paying service. As I have asked before, what is your real purpose for posting these recommendations since you are obviously not doing it to be helpful in any way?

Hi Twoscomplement,

 

If I may, I believe that the response your original post has elicited from our friends has to do with the fact that such recommendations, in a forum of this sort, absent any accompanying thought, reason, or rational behind them smacks of mercenary motives. In other words, your post immediately begs the question, "what's he selling?"

 

You see, your original post contains no thought that might provoke further thought in the minds of your readers, there is no spark that may kindle the imagination of the student of trading. This is not to say that a great deal of thought may not have gone into your discovery of these opportunities. It is just to say that any evidence of such thought has been intentionally withheld by you from pupils such as I.

 

And apart from your opinion that these trades will prove profitable, there are no other stated opinions from you concerning these recommendations for us to discuss and debate.

 

I agree with your admonishment that we all ought to respect the other forum participants. We human beings are thoughtful, interesting, and wonderful creatures. And the least among us deserves the maximum respect for his or her humanity as humanity may muster.

 

However, do you not allow that you yourself have perhaps shown a grave lack of respect toward your would-be readers by failing to provide anything thoughtful, interesting, and wonderful in your original post? Can you not see that rather than inciting your reader's intelligence to thought, you ignore the reader's intelligence completely?

 

If I have mistaken your motives, then I apologize in advance. If I have mistaken your motives, then please continue your thread by sharing with us the bases of the above referenced trade recommendations.

 

If I am not mistaken in your motives, then it is you who owe apologies.

 

Whichever the case, I wish you well.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

    • Date: 20th December 2024.   BOE Sees More Support For Rate Cuts As USD Strengthens!   The US Dollar continues to rise in value after obtaining further support from positive economic and employment data. However, the hawkish Federal Reserve continues to support the currency. On the other hand, the Great British Pound comes under significant strain. Why is the GBPUSD declining? GBPUSD - Why is the GBPUSD Declining? The GBPUSD is witnessing bullish price movement for three primary reasons. The first is the Federal Reserve’s Monetary Policy, the second is the positive US news releases from yesterday and the third is the votes from the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee.     Even though the Bank of England chose to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.75%, the number of votes to cut indicates dovishness in the upcoming months. Previously, traders were expecting the BoE to remain cautious due to inflation rising to 2.6% and positive employment data. In addition to this, the Retail Sales data from earlier this morning only rose 0.2%, lower than expectations adding pressure to GBP. Investors also should note that the two currencies did not conflict and price action was driven by both an increasing USD and a declining GBP. The US Dollar rose in value against all currencies, except for the Swiss Franc, against which it saw a slight decline. The GBP fell against all currencies, except for the GBPJPY, which ended higher solely due to earlier gains. US Monetary Policy and Macroeconomics The bullish price movement seen within the US Dollar Index continues to partially be due to its hawkish monetary policy. Particularly, indications from Jerome Powell that the Fed will only cut on two occasions and the first cut will take place in May. However, in addition to this the economic data from yesterday continues to illustrate a resilient and growing economy. This also supports the Fed’s approach to monetary policy and its efforts to push inflation back to the 2% target. The US GDP rose 3.1% over the past quarter beating expectations of 2.8%. The GDP rate of 3.1% is also higher than the first two quarters of 2024 (1.4% & 3.0%). In addition to this, the US Weekly Unemployment Claims fell from 242,000 to 220,000 and existing home sales rose to 4.15 million. Home sales in the latest month rose to an 8-month high. For this reason, the US Dollar rose in value against most currencies throughout the day. Analysts believe the US Dollar will continue to perform well due to less frequent rate cuts and tariffs. The US Dollar Index trades 1.65% higher this week. Bank of England Sees Increased Support for Rate Cuts! The Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged as per market’s previous expectations. The decision is determined by a committee of nine members and at least five of them must vote for a cut for the central bank to proceed. Analysts anticipated only two members voting for a cut, but three did. This signals a dovish tone and increases the likelihood of earlier rate cuts in 2025. The three members that voted for a rate cut were Dave Ramsden, Swati Dhingra, and Alan Taylor. Advocates for lower rates believe the current policy is too restrictive and risks pushing inflation well below the 2.0% target in the medium term. Meanwhile, supporters of keeping the current monetary policy argue that it's unclear if rising business costs will increase consumer prices, reduce jobs, or slow wage growth. However, if markets continue to expect a more dovish Bank of England in 2025, the GBP could come under further pressure. In 2024, the GBP was the best performing currency after the US Dollar and outperformed the Euro, Yen and Swiss Franc. This was due to the Bank of England’s reluctance to adjust rates at a similar pace to other central banks. GBPUSD - Technical Analysis In terms of the price of the exchange, most analysts believe the GBPUSD will continue to decline so long as the Federal Reserve retains their hawkish tone. The exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows and lower highs. The price trades below most moving averages on the 2-hour timeframe and below the neutral level on oscillators. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price moves back towards the 200-bar SMA, but sell signals may materialise if the price falls back below 1.24894.     Key Takeaways: The US Dollar increases in value for a third consecutive day and increases its monthly rise to 2.32%. The US Dollar Index was the best performing currency of Thursday’s session, along with the Swiss Franc. US Gross Domestic Product rises to 3.1% beating economist’s expectations of 2.8%. US Weekly Unemployment Claims read 220,000, 22,000 less than the previous week and lower than expectations. The NASDAQ declines further and trades 5.00% lower than the previous lows. The GBPUSD ends the day 0.56% lower and falls more than 1% after the Bank of England’s rate decision. Three Members of the BoE vote to cut interest rates. The GBP was the worst performing currency of the day along with the Japanese Yen. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 19th December 2024.   Federal Reserve Sparks NASDAQ’s Sharpest Selloff of 2024!   The NASDAQ fell more than 3.60% after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, but gave hawkish comments. The stock market saw its largest decline witnessed in 2024 so far, as investors opted to cash in profits and not risk in the short-medium term. What did Chairman Powell reveal, and how does it impact the NASDAQ? The NASDAQ Falls To December Lows After Fed Guidance! The NASDAQ and US stock market in general saw a considerable decline after the press conference of the Federal Reserve. The USA100 ended the day 3.60% lower and saw only 1 of its 100 stocks avoid a decline. Of the most influential stocks the worst performers were Tesla (-8.28%), Broadcom (-6.91%) and Amazon (-4.60%).     When monitoring the broader stock market, similar conditions are seen confirming the investor sentiment is significantly lower and not solely related to the tech industry. The worst performing sectors are the housing and banking sectors. However, investors should also note that the decline was partially due to a build-up of profits over the past months. As a result, investors could easily sell and reduce exposure to cash in profits and lower their risk appetite. Analysts note that despite the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, the Chairman provided a positive outlook. He highlighted optimism for the economy and the employment sector. Therefore, many analysts continue to believe that investors will buy the dip, even if it’s not imminent. A Hawkish Federal Reserve And Powell’s Guidance Even though traditional economics suggests a rate cut benefits the stock market, the market had already priced in the cut. As a result, the rate cut could no longer influence prices. Investors are now focusing on how the Federal Reserve plans to cut in 2025. This is what triggered the selloff and the decline. Investors were looking for indications of 3-4 rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2025 and for the first cut to be in March. However, analysts advise that the forward guidance by the Chairman, Jerome Powell, clearly indicates 2 rate adjustments. In addition to this, analysts believe the Fed will now cut next in May 2025. The average expectation now is that the Federal Reserve will cut 0.25% on two occasions in 2025. The Fed also advised that it is too early to know the effect of tariffs and “when the path is uncertain, you go slower”. This added to the hawkish tone of the central bank. However, surveys indicate that 15% of analysts believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates at a faster pace. As a result, the US Dollar Index rose 1.25% and Bond Yields to a 7-month high. For investors, this makes other investment categories more attractive and stocks more expensive for foreign investors. However, the average decline the NASDAQ has seen before investors buy the dip is 13% ($19,320). This will also be a key level for investors if the NASDAQ continues to decline. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis Due to the bearish volatility, the price of the NASDAQ is trading below all major Moving Averages and Oscillators on the 2-Hour chart. After retracement the oscillators are no longer indicating an oversold price and continue to point to a bearish bias. Sell indications are likely to strengthen if the price declines below $21,222.60 in the short-term.       Key Takeaways: A hawkish Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25% and indicates only 2 rate cuts in 2025! The stock market witnesses its worst day of 2024 due to the Fed’s hawkish forward guidance. Economists do not expect a rate cut before May 2025. Housing and bank stocks fell more than 4%. Investors are cashing in their gains and not looking to risk while the Fed is unlikely to cut again until May 2025. The US Dollar Index rises close to its highest level since November 2022. US Bond Yields also rise to their highest since May 2024. The NASDAQ’s average decline in 2024 before investors opt to purchase the dip is 13%. Always trade with strict risk management.
