Trading positions for 13th Oct 2009

Averaged down my position in SG market:
Ramba @ $0.6965

Markets were not that good in the afternoon, where most of the counters were falling back. Ramba for 1, after announcing the JV with petrochina went on a selling spree and closed at a low of $0.675.

Not much action in the US market, currently trading at its last closed price on yesterday, while it opened lower due to J & J's results. More results are coming this week, with JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America and GE. If I am not wrong, Goldman is today and they are waiting for them to come out with some explosive results after the mark-to-market accounting.

The dollar is still weakening and this may indicate a few signs. Global companies may post better than expected results if the currency on the other end is appreciating against USD, since global companies are more focused in their overseas operations than in USA.

I have put the daily chart of the UUP (USD index chart) and the SPY (S&P 500) counter to show the relationship of the 2. As I did mentioned yesterday, and this is purely technical analysis, the weakening of the dollar seems to prop the market higher and higher and this is on going for the past 6 months if you refer back to the daily charts.
