Morning Report
23 September 2005
Good Morning! This is John Piper with the opening report at 10:00 am on Friday 23rd September; next scheduled report 10:00 on Monday morning. Trading in futures and options carries a high degree of risk which can lead to losses greater than the amount originally invested. As such it is not suitable for everyone. Important: see 'My Trading Rules' at the foot of this article.

1. Introduction

I have been saying of late that we may have seen key peaks and that I was waiting for the initial declines to end and for corrective rallies to come in. Well, they now seem to be coming in and I am now looking for shorting opportunities. As a general rule I will either go short into these rallies or on acceptance below the recent lows. These lows are at 5354 on the FTSE cash, 4827 on the DAX cash, and at 1205.35 on the S&P cash. Having said that I would concentrate on FTSE at this time as the other two are a little further down the road albeit you could alternatively argue that FTSE is showing relative strength.

2. FTSE 100

In London FTSE is now at 5397 up 11 points. The decline lasted 2 days and we have now rallied for one day so the signal may be imminent here. Indeed I will be looking to go short today on FTSE. A false break above 5400 might be a good signal.

3. The DAX

The Dax is now at 4865 up 16 points. The DAX has closed the gap left by yesterday’s opening but still has gaps left by Monday’s and Wednesday’s openings. Hereto we could plunge down from here.

4. S&P 500

The S&P closed last night at 1214.62 up $4.42 with the S&P December futures now down $1.10 on Globex this morning. We may now have seen the end of wave 3 with a fourth wave rally now upon us. To summarise, FTSE may be about to start wave 3 down, the DAX has started it and the S&P may have finished it! Charts in this week’s TTT, sent to email subscribers last night, illustrate this on FTSE and the S&P.

5. NIKKEI DOW

The Nikkei Dow was closed this mornings. The Nikkei is still above 13000 – still looking good.

6. US T-BONDS

T-Bonds have bounced at support.

7. UK Gilt

The UK Gilt is slipping a bit.

8. Gold (UK cash)

Gold ditto.

Keep those profits rolling in and I will speak to you at 10:00 on Monday morning

My Trading Rules

I trade a number of markets through spread betting, options and/or futures positions. t1ps.com Ltd does not believe that my articles can move the markets concerned.

If I have an open position or positions on any markets which are the subject of one of these reports at the time of publication of an article written by me, the existence of that interest and whether it is long or short will always be declared in the article in the format 'I have a long/short position in the DJIA/the FTSE 100/gold' as appropriate. This is in order to inform readers so that they may assess whether the existence of any such interest may have influenced the content of the article. Such disclosure does not constitute investment advice. The time of publication means the time at which an email containing the article is sent.

After publication of an article containing a disclosure of an open interest as above I may alter, or close the position or positions the subject of the disclosure without restriction. There are no restrictions on the opening of positions provided that any open interest is declared as above.

The value of investments can go down as well as up. Investing in equities can lose you part or all of your capital. Smaller company shares can be relatively illiquid and thus hard to trade. And that makes such investments more of a high risk than larger company shares. Financial Spreadbetting, futures, options, and CFD's are by definition a higher risk investment, losses from which are potentially unlimited.
