ParticipantWatch the COT reports for the financial markets, that is how. The commercials tipped off the bull move in bonds right on schedule for those who knew how to read it. They also tipped off the stock selloff right at the top, moves in GOLD and OIL as well.
In general I agree with this take although determining what the insiders are doing in advance requires alot of guessing and I do not guess when I put my money at risk. It is better to have tools like the cot report which gives info about 3 days after the fact, so very timely.
The best way to track the PPT is actually to watch the premium between the cash and the futures in the S&P at certain times during the day, mostly 10, 10:30, and 11 am and noonish PST, so 4 specific times. When it expands indicating a buy program at those times, you can easily get on that train for a good run. This can also be large institutions and not the PPT. It is most often the PPT on the late day saves on downward moves. Most people don’t trade intraday, but for those that do, this is one way to follow the insiders.
I wish I had ways for other things like this, and if I did I would probably hog them to myself anyway.
One area that I think is worth considering is anything that involves unions. With a heavy democratic control being in place, I think they will intervene when large unions are in peril to save them, so that might be one area to research. Where there are large unions, what industries, then buy into severe weakness in them anticipating a govt handout to save them. This will be risky as you will be buying penny stocks most likely to do it. If you could find discounted bonds in these areas in might be a better bet. Also, look at infrastructure stocks, that is an obvious place where money will flow very shortly.

ParticipantI predict that I will resurrect my blog where I will lay out my shorter term market predictions as time goes on. It is much easier in my view to predict the next few months than it is the next few years. I will attempt to do that. For those that have any interest it is:

I wish everyone in here a great and prosperous 2009.

ParticipantFunny post Dave. I think Stocktrader is a good kid with a good heart who just gets tied up in the emotional ups and downs of trading. He will learn eventually that a lower key approach will help smooth the highs and lows out. Anyone who trades for a long time, gets their ass kicked for periods no matter how good they are, myself included.
I think it was Bill Millers son that for the most part went South. I think then Bill Sr had to come back to try and salvage things. I am not 100% sure on that. Stevie Cohen in equities and Tudor Jones and Bruce Kovner in futures, are the king traders in the world. They have all made more $$ than those guys you mentioned. I think Kovner made over 1B the last few years each year, he trades currencies.
