Rally so far..
In last 6 weeks, market have risen more than 25%. There is still debate about where this is a bull market or whether this is a bear market rally. People who got in early in this rally have made some heatlthy profits. Miners and finance sectors have seen the biggest gain.
There is still some steam in this market. However some correction might be around the corner which is good for this rally. Some correctin will help for the next leg of rally...

Long and Short
Looking at the high volume breakout today, AQP and ENRC look convincing. Miners rallied on back of news from Rio that metal will rally in second half this year. Rio itself has doubled in last 6 months. These look a good bet for short to medium term.
BARC has trebelled in less than 1 month. Tomorrow's FT carried the headline that BARC will need raising cash soon. Time to short the stock.

A new year Rally
Today miners lifted FTSE but looking at the volume, the rise is not very convincing. Usually such low volume rallies are followed by a pullback or correction.
Only Logica, Antofagsta had slightly convincing volume.

Happy New Year
I heard the saying yesterday on one of the radio channels "Optimist is one who welcomes the new year, pessimist is one who waves good bye to old year".
There is sense of optimisn in the air. Everyone seems to believe that the worst is over and buried with 2008. I guess this is the kind of optimism that is required to kick start the things. Even though there are still some negative signals but I think over next few coming months we will see market improving.
wish you all a Happy and Prosperous new year.
