India (INP) To Fall Another 15% From Here

Added on by C. Maoxian.

When I wrote about the VWO last July, my Twitter buddy @kaushikgala mentioned that the set-up looked like it might apply to the Indian stock market as well. I only follow the INP, so I looked at it, and sure enough, it was more or less the same thing ... I thought it might run as high as $72-$74 before reversing.

The target for INP is around $51 which is a little more than 15% down from here (around 27% from a perfectly timed short entry in September). It has been going down in a straight line recently, but I'd expect it to back and fill its way down to $51 over many months ... it takes time to reach targets taken from the weekly charts.

Movies Watched -- Amy

Added on by C. Maoxian.

128 minutes so at least 30 minutes too long. This was on my list of 80 "non-documentary" movies to watch from 2015 since it was mis-categorized at Rotten Tomatoes as "Art House," instead of "Documentary," so I've removed it from that list. Anyway, I like a few Amy Winehouse songs, and I did recognize her talent the *first* time I heard her (one of those stop-everything-who-is-*that*-singing moments), so I was interested in watching this.

She was troubled by some demons (depression, bulimia, etc.) which gave rise to her musical brilliance, and unfortunately she was never able to balance her crazy side with her creativity (often the case). She was responsible for her demise, but her idiot boyfriend and greedy father come off especially badly in this movie. She tried to keep the demons down with booze and pot, and later some really hard drugs, but then back to booze, which I think eventually did her in. If you're interested in her music, and creative geniuses in general, you'd enjoy watching this documentary (though overly long). I don't give documentaries the green, yellow, red treatment ... they're all targeted at niche audiences.

Rex's review: "...it’s difficult to summon much sympathy for the depravity that drove her to a form of generic suicide."

Emerging Markets Should Fall To New Lows

Added on by C. Maoxian.

You'll recall my post from the end of July titled, Emerging Markets Run About Done ... the price of VWO was around $37 at that time and went as high as $38.87 in September, so "about done" wasn't a bad call then. Here's my updated chart ... the target remains below $27 and price would have to rally above $39 to get me out of my several short entries.

Trump Victory Bearish for Twitter

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I've been avoiding Twitter like the plague ever since the election, and I assume I'm not alone in doing so. I used to open it religiously first thing in the morning, but now I can't bear to read through my various lists, let alone spend hours (?) scrolling back through hundreds of tweets in classic OCD fashion.

I anticipated The Donald's victory, but that doesn't mean I want to be reminded about the absurdity of it all. Turn off and tune out is the order of the day, I'd say. This may be the thing that finally cures my Twitter addiction, hurray!

Twitter's stock price, as you can see below, has created a very messy chart which has frustrated this simple "trend follower." Despite buying last June, I missed the exit at $25.25 where everyone on Twitter told me they sold, and in fact made only 42 cents from my entry in the end (before commissions and taxes). Now I'm short and losing money (so far).

24-year-old Björk here, she looks about 14, stunningly beautiful ...  watching this performance, it reminds me how much she influenced 王靖雯 (Faye Wong).

Current Cars That Interest Me

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I was surfing around the various auto manufacturers' websites looking at cars ... they're all so boring now, but I did find a few that interest me. I left out the Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc., which are all over-the-top.  (Click on the images to enlarge them.) 

Update: I've added a Bentley and a Porsche due to popular demand. I *do* prefer orange or yellow paint.
