The Trader's Stock Market Outlook

"I often find it difficult to sell a market that is already very beaten up, as I can't help thinking ahead to the next bounceback.."

The Trader's Commodity Outlook

"Even the technical analysis-sceptical Financial Times mentions the "triple bottom" in an article today. It won't take much follow through to get me involved here"

The Trader's Wall Street Outlook

"For now, the only positions I'd contemplate are shorts as intraday rallies peter out. The coming short squeeze should be tradable but I am not going to jump the gun"
