My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I adhere to the philosophy of trend following.
Trend following stresses a disciplined approach to commodity/ futures trading. Successful trend following and commodity futures investing requires patience, discipline and actively managing the risk. What sets me apart from other traders is that I am not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk I will have to tolerate to achieve my goals.

Is This The End of The Stock Market Rally?
There are really no isolated incidents in the world. Today we are waking up to the news that Dubai might be defaulting on its debt. Stock Markets around the world are plummeting. There are many other issues that hardly made the news. Firstly Vietnam devalued their currency and their populace as Mark Mobius has coined the statement has entered into a ג€Surge of Fearג€. There is confusion and uncertainty once again. Vietnam raised interest rates to try to lower inflation. However there is a backdrop that really no paid attention to. This is why the public always loses money. Investors Intelligence reported this week the lowest number of bears in the last 6 years. The bullish to bearish ratio is 3 to 1 as well. The bullish percentage measured by Investors Intelligence surpassed 50% this week as well. One can also look at the the RSI of the SP 500 and it is in the 80% range..Basically grossed overbought. Putting all these pieces into the puzzle, the stock market looks vulnerable. The public always gets it wrong.
So how does this effect trend followers?ג€¦ First the good news.. Then the bad news.. Must be balanced. Nothing just happens.. Many trend followers have been long the interest rates..Which are benefiting from todayג€™s actionג€¦as well as long the Japanese Yen. The bad news is many trend followers have been long gold and it is getting clobbered..As well as many trend followers have been short the US dollar and today it has strengthened..As well as many trend followers have been long the stock indexes which are now getting clobbered.. Bottom line effect.. Probably a small effect on trend followers.. In times of crisisג€™s as this might be the start ofג€¦ trend followers and commodity trading advisors usually have positions on in the direction and profit from these times. Nothing is perfect that is why one needs to have a diverse portfolio. Some trades workג€¦and some do not.
The real question isג€¦.Is this the beginning of the end for the stock market rally? In all honesty I would not be surprised in we open way down on the SP 500 only to rally up. Anything can happenג€¦just have your thought out plan in place.
