Chief Investment Strategist Jud Pyle nabs an interview with Tom Busy, CEO of DTI Trader, about trends in the market.
Jud Pyle: Our viewers always like to hear what your take is for the next couple weeks.
Tom Busby: Today, the market is going through a profit taking phase and you ask yourself where it’s going to stop. Just get short and wait.
JP: How about a couple areas where are your favorite places to short?
TB: Over in the futures market, I like the DAX being short out of Germany. If you look at the E_mini, I’ll probably short it in another hour or so.
JP: Where’s the resistance?
TB: 900 is the key number because that’s where we opened the year at. And now you have the market in a profit taking phase – it doesn’t take rocket science to show that the trend is a little weak right now
JP: Up or down on the year?
TB: Up. Because the market has turned bullish
JP: What’s your news book?
TB: Trade to Win is an interesting book. It’s one thing to have set-ups, but it’s another thing to have the right attitude, and trading is about the right attitude.
