OSOK TRADING NEWSLETTER Enjoying The Las Vegas Traders Expo John Netto - President - Thank you everyone for paticipating in day one of the Las Vegas Traders Expo where I traded live and fielded questions from the audience on subjects from professional trading, running a hedge fund, the mental hurdles, tax questions, and structured products. Day two is even more action packed as I will be trading live again with the CME Group and Infinity Brokers at 6:30 AM. I am doing an MSN Interview at 9 AM, a presentation on Gamma Trading for Trade the Markets at 11 AM, and concluding with a booth presentation for the US Futures Exchange titled, "Trading the Mini Dollar Dax, a Market Maker's Perspective" as I am currently a market maker for that product and believe it is the futures contract of the next five years. . . . click here to view Case for Commodities Sun Nov16 (NY) - by Anatoly Veltman - Chief Global Analyst - I noticed that CRB Index peaked 7/3/2008 at 615. Now, not even 5 months later it's laboring a base just below 350. This is an attractive level to some technicians:1. Index was born Q4 of 1971, as low as 96 - and it just retraced over half of its 37-year appreciation in 4 months!2. Last Impulse commenced November 2001 around 183 - and current retracement will touch 61.8% of 183->615 up-wave at 348.3. Previous Impulse's 1980 peak was 338 - and previous historic resistance is often expected to become next strong support. At November's "Inside Commodities" Conference held at the NYSE, keynote Jimmy Rogers compared this commodity meltdown with lightning stock correction of 1987. Both were forced-selling precipitated, as opposed to bona-fide fundamental Bear Markets. Open Interest (O.I.) in all commodity futures quickly collapsed from this year's records to 2-year or more lows. Some positive internals in recent days include: 1. Crude, HO and RB O.I. all rallied 15% in a month!2. Wheat's O.I. just rallied 10% in 3 days!3. Platinum's O.I. is 40% off of it lows! Gold's O.I. has languished at 2-year low; but I don't see that as a very bearish sign longer term. In case of Gold, I'd be worried if O.I. were high during current moderate price erosion. To me: that would be a hint of increased authorities' sales or loaning. I find it Bullish about the Commitment of Traders (C.O.T.) data - that Small Specs are unusually Short of Gold! I would get most interested, if Gold were to wash-out toward $643 level. That's exactly where Gold commenced its last Impulse; and that's precise 50% of the entire $252->$1034 run! Alas, with dollar de-basing that I predict to become obvious (to everyone at once) very soon, I doubt that current correction will reach that deep. I've never been a Gold bug (even 19 years ago, when my trading volumes were the highest among non-commercial players at the Comex); however, with tough choices incoming administration is facing - I wouldn't be surprised if Gold quadrupled in nominal terms during their tenure... Latest C.O.T. report in Crude boggles one's mind: in 11/5-11 period, as futures dropped from $70.50->$59, Large Specs increased their Net Short exposure by 400%! Commercials are now Net Long of Crude, and so (alas) Small Specs. Still, it's unbelievable that Large Specs have found liquid funds in present environment - to speculate on Crude's further fall . . . click here to view Open Interest confirmation! Fri Nov14 8am(NY) - by Anatoly Veltman - Chief Global Analyst - We did book profits at Thu closing bell, as near a 100-handle rally appeared just too much out of hand! But we just got the word that Open Interest in both big SP and E-mini added substantially (we were afraid that might have not been the case) - so we are on board Long for a bit more; at least for a rally toward Thu highs for starters. Good thing we got this 20 handle pull-back overnight. Another interesting feature is growing Open Interest in Wheat this week; we haven't had that in any commodity (safe for Crude and Platinum) since de-leveraging escalated . . . click here to view Journey of 1000 miles starts with a small step Thu Nov13 1pm(NY) - by Anatoly Veltman - Chief Global Analyst - What a ride down we enjoyed since Monday morning! Like good old times...But remember: know when to say when! The rapid oversold on straight E-mini shot from 866.75->816.75 during today's pit session should bring in aggressive short-covering. We don't think that any Shorting will be opportune for quite a while here; we're nimbly reversing to Long . . . click here to view Ready to reverse 4-week-old forecast Sat Nov8 (NY) - by Anatoly Veltman - Chief Global Analyst - On Oct11, following 30% October opening collapse and wide-spread panic, we adopted profound contrarian view: that directional volatility was in fact at its end, and that wide-range trading was to ensue and form fourth-wave consolidation. That forecast proved more precise than any other documented October forecast...We now venture to say that two-way volatility is about to give way to a resolution - and that it will not be a Bullish resolution! We see election exultation of 1000 basis SP500 rapidly giving way to another 20% panic. Commitment of Traders (C.O.T.) is shifting to mildly Bearish once again - as Commercials re-assume Shorts, while both Small and Large Specs lean toward Long exposure. Other C.O.T. tips include Bullish 5y+Euro%, Crude, somewhat Bullish Gold, somewhat Bearish Swiss+EUR. We'd be a seller of stocks into Monday rally . . . click here to view More
