9. $ strength
The story over the next few months would seem to be
that of $ strength across the board.
I told all about the trades long of the dollar against the
pound and Euro at the last two monthly meeting.
The falling Gold price leads me to the conclusion that
deflation is more real than inflation in the world.
The credit crunch in China adds to the headwinds
and adds to the probability of downside there. Thats
knocking the miners for six.
15. My model portfolio
When the market gives a confirmed call Up then the
following shares are
1. undervalued
2. Have good fundamentals
3. Are trending upwards.
I have been very conservative over the last month by
getting into cash after the last confirmed. The shares I
was holding have done well in a down market. The
China situation really scared me.
In hindsight I would have been better to have sat and
just watched the stops.
24. Anglo
I was told by a gaggle of CFA types that Anglo and
Billiton could not go any lower about 6 months ago.
These are discounting a slow down to a stop in China.
As you can see in the next chart the VV program re
rated the share well before the fall. The same was true
for Billiton.
This is priceless.
