EADS - Euronext Paris - Stock Chart - COT Proxy Thinking of security, weapons, airplanes much? This chart is for my many French "visitors". I don't know who you are but you guys seem to like my blog so much that I get so many hits from you.... If you are looking at French stocks trading on Euronext Paris, this is one. Commercials been long on this one since Mid 2010! It is still rising while many other European stocks are taking a beating!

JES International Holdings SGX - COT Proxy - Time to Buy? I received a request to do a COT Proxy on a SGX stock JES International. This company operates a shipyard in China. I would normally avoid S-Chips stocks (China stocks that are listed in Singapore's SGX) but we will take a look at this anyway. The price have surged last week from the low of 0.145. The commercials have been right so far in this stock. As you can see when they buy price goes up and when they sell price goes down. However you can also see that they are sometimes too early or a little too late. This time the price has gone up but they are still net short. They might seem to be late to go into the buying or probably they think it might be a false bull run and they will maintain their short position...

I will like to wish everyone a HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! 

Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA Commitments of Traders Chart We have been looking at commercials all these while and how their trading positions affect prices or sometimes how prices affect their trading decisions. It will be interesting to see how the non-commercials or specialists as some call them behave in relation to market prices. Look at the bottom of the DJIA at around 11000. The non-commercials are flipping to being net short but their numbers turned bullish and the DJIA bounced from that level to start the current rally.
