S&P CNX Nifty for 30 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5898.
The immediate supports are at 5898 & 5887.
Resistances are at 5925, 5947, 5975.
Our outlook is of continued optimism as long as it stays above 5842.

S&P CNX Nifty for 29 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5880 with 5842 being the immediate support. The immediate resistance is at 5872, 5879 and 5890. The benchmark must trade above 5890 with good volumes to scale new highs.

Our outlook for the day is that there are chances of a breakout today; whether it will be a positive break out or negative will depend upon whether the bench mark conquers 5890 or slips below 5842. Traders may also keep an eye on the volumes, for a breach of the above points without heavy volumes is a false signal.

Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger..

Lyrics

As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail

I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me

Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose.

Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
For we must say goodbye

I went back..

            Romance

I went back, as to my relatives.
When I arrived, the elms had been shaved.
But you were all the same.
The buildings, the dry classrooms.
I embraced your eyes, your avenues.
You were fixed in the same expressions.
Your flat voices, your dental work,
like your lips, slipping over words already said.
Additional agricultural pamphlets;
many of you sat in private offices.
Why did I think I could drag it all back,
the former edge of town where
streets ended in fields under clouds
puffed like the French phrases
he kissed me with in the sucked-in breath
of that illusive happiness.
Coming back, listening, looking;
ready to take your bodies in my hands.
Returning to streets that had poured
heavy shopping malls
over the hay-sweet grass
where he and I lay whispering
the most important nonsense
of my desperate and embittered life.

Johnny I hardly knew ye

Lyrics

While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While goin' the road to sweet Athy
A stick in me hand and a tear in me eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry,
Johnny I hardly knew ye.
We had guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
We had guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye.
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are the eyes that looked so mild
When my poor heart you first beguiled
Why did ye scadaddle from me and the child
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
Where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are the legs with which you run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run
When forced into carrying a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see ye home
All from the island of Sulloon
So low in the flesh, so high in the bone
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg
Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
Ye'll have to be put with a bowl out to beg
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.
They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again
But they never will take my sons again
No they'll never take my sons again
Johnny I'm swearing to ye.

The Rocky Road To Dublin

Lyrics are in description

Dare you to try to sing along, if you can.

 

Love is apart from all things..

The Great Fires

Love is apart from all things.

Desire and excitement are nothing beside it.

It is not the body that finds love.

What leads us there is the body.

What is not love provokes it.

What is not love quenches it.

Love lays hold of everything we know.

The passions which are called love

also change everything to a newness

at first. Passion is clearly the path

but does not bring us to love.

It opens the castle of our spirit

so that we might find the love which is

a mystery hidden there.

Love is one of many great fires.

Passion is a fire made of many woods,

each of which gives off its special odor

so we can know the many kinds

that are not love. Passion is the paper

and twigs that kindle the flames

but cannot sustain them. Desire perishes

because it tries to be love.

Love is eaten away by appetite.

Love does not last, but it is different

from the passions that do not last.

Love lasts by not lasting.

Isaiah said each man walks in his own fire

for his sins. Love allows us to walk

in the sweet music of our particular heart.

S&P CNX Nifty for 23 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is 5823 with the immediate and crucial resistance at 5869.

On the flip side the supports are at 5814, 5782 and 5736.

Our outlook for the market is that the 5833 mark is crucial for future trend and the market should conclusively trade above this point for a trend reversal from the recent down trend to up trend. Fresh longs will be built if it conquers the resistance at 5869 mark.

S&P CNX Nifty for 22 April 2013

The tipping point for the day is at 5753 with immediate resistances at 5787, 5825 and 5869.

However, on the flip side, the supports are at 5768, 5751 and 5617.

Our outlook is that the market may go up a bit more and if it happens to conquer 5869 with good volumes then fresh longs will be built up signalling a change from consolidation to a return to bullish trend. The buying spree and short covering may take the market up to the 5871 mark in the next few trading session. Traders on long side may raise their stop loss to 5624 and in case of a positive bullish opening today to 5745.

I go back to May 1937

I Go Back to May 1937

I see them standing at the formal gates of their colleges,

I see my father strolling out

under the ochre sandstone arch,

the red tiles glinting like bent

plates of blood behind his head,

I see my mother with a few light books at her hip

standing at the pillar made of tiny bricks,

the wrought-iron gate still open behind her,

its sword-tips aglow in the May air,

they are about to graduate, they are about to get married,

they are kids,

they are dumb,

all they know is they are innocent,

they would never hurt anybody.

I want to go up to them and say Stop,

don’t do it—she’s the wrong woman,

he’s the wrong man,

you are going to do things

you cannot imagine you would ever do,

you are going to do bad things to children,

you are going to suffer in ways you have not heard of,

you are going to want to die.

I want to go up to them there in the late May sunlight and say it,

her hungry pretty face turning to me,

her pitiful beautiful untouched body,

his arrogant handsome face turning to me,

his pitiful beautiful untouched body,

but I don’t do it.

I want to live.

I take them up like the male and female

paper dolls and bang them together at the hips,

like chips of flint,

as if to strike sparks from them,

I say do what you are going to do,

and I will tell about it.

.........................................................Sharon Olds

More from The Lone Bellow..

Another lovely song from 

The Lone Bellow

I'm looking for you again

The Lyrics to the song

Your break down,
was easy to see
it took you away,
further from me.

Shifting through this house and photographs
I think of you,
much more than I should
more than I should.

And I'm falling down,
like its holy ground
I'm looking for you again,
I'm looking for you again.

Small regrets
that live in the dark
I've written them down
but I know them by heart.

Counted the cost of this loneliness
I've paid for my crime
and some day I'll die
with you in my mind.

And I'm falling down,
like its holy ground
I'm looking for you again,

I'm looking for you again.

I'm not letting you go again,
now letting this story end.
I'm not letting you go again,
now letting this story end.
Oh we're all not letting you go again
I'm not letting the story end,
Oh I'm not letting you go again,
I'm not letting this story end

And I'm falling down,
like its holy ground
I'm looking for you again,
I'm looking for you again.
And I can't go without
and there's always down
I'm looking for you again,
I'm looking for you again.

S&P CNX Nifty for 18 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5697 with immediate supports at 5686, 5677 and 5643. The immediate resistances are at 5696, 5703 and 5719.
Our outlook for today is a bit more of cautious optimism as market will remain closed tomorrow. Traders riding longs may trade safe by raising their stop loss to 5589. The buying spree and short covering may take the market up to the 5871 mark in the next few trading session if the 5719 mark is conquered conclusively with good volumes. 5871 mark will decide the future trend i.e. whether the market will resume its earlier bullish trend or consolidate.

S&P CNX Nifty for 17 April 2013.

The tipping point for today is at 5648 with the resistances at 5717, 5766 and 5782. On the flip side the supports are at 5652, 5623 and 5614.
The market did manage to hold above 5557.5, and so it saw a bullish move up north. It closed in a rather optimistic note. However, the market cannot be concluded to have reversed it's recent down trend unless and until it conclusively closes above the 5717 mark today and above 5870 in successive sessions. Traders on long side are advised to ride the trend with 5576 as stop loss.

Spring 2013.

S&P CNX Nifty for 16 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5554 with 5571 and 5581 as the immediate resistances, above which the market must conclusively overcome 5662 for any hope of sustained up move.

Otherwise the immediate support is at  5535 failing which it will see further erosion till 5444.

As predicted in our last post, the market did go up yesterday albeit amidst pessimism.

Our outlook is of a little more upside if it holds above the 5557.5 mark. However, if the benchmark index closes above the 5610 mark on closing basis with good volumes, then the next trend will be of consolidation with positive bias, otherwise we are in a downtrend which may probably bottom out at around 5280 levels.

S&P CNX Nifty for 15 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5522 with 5540 and 5566 as the immediate resistances. On the flip side the immediate support is at 5513 failing which it will slide towards the 5444 mark.
Our outlook is that the market may go up a bit in the immediate term but overall, it will remain weak.

It's spring time

 The Changing colours as clouds gathered and wind howled. It's spring time folks!!!

It grew dark soon enough and soon enough it was back to normal!!

Poem of the week.

Love in Spring

Your gentle laughter, as you tease
reminds me poignantly of wind chimes
swaying on a balmy spring day breeze

Makes me Long to be part of your days
nights too, held closely in your arms
Forever and another Spring, if I may

As the Earth slowly turns round the sun
Valleys, groves and hills are warmed
Spring blooms in my heart, love's a season

Holding hands, stealing kisses as we run
through fields, woods or mountain trails
A Spring for you and me, to discover love

Barren wall, barren heart, Spring bloomed
Darkness in my soul found streamers of light
Braided into you, in a joyous Maypole dance

S&P CNX Nifty for 12 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5582 with immediate resistance at 5624, 5648 and 5665. On the flip side the immediate support is at 5585, 5568 and 5528. If 5528 is broken then all gain of last two sessions will be lost.
Our outlook continues to be negative as long as the benchmark index does not conclusively hold above 5665 with good volumes and also on closing basis. Otherwise we are not out of the woods. Traders may ride longs with 5560 as stop loss.

S&P CNX Nifty for 11 April 2013.

The market indeed exhibited a comeback as, much in predicted lines, it did stick it's head above the 5528 mark as we had stated in our last post.
The immediate support is at 5547 and 5534. 5534 also hapens to be the tipping point today.
If it slides below the 5512 mark then all of yesterdays gains will be wiped out.
On the flip side the immediate resistances are at 5583 and 5648.
Our outlook is that the market although still weak may exhibit a bit more strength and so traders on the long side may continue with stop loss at 5512.

S&P CNX Nifty for 10 April 2013.

As envisaged in our last post, the market indeed turn our to be weak. The immediate resistance for today is at 5514 and the tipping point for today is placed much higher at 5528. If the benchmark index manages to stick it's head above this mark then the market will face resistance at 5531 and 5559.
On the flip side the supports are at 5453.
Our outlook continues to be pessimistic and the market seems to be headed towards the 5444 mark. If 5444 gets broken today then lot of supply will emerge from the domestic players as new shorts will be initiated.

S&P CNX Nifty for 9 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5549 with immediate resistance at 5557 and then 5587, 5619 and 5670 continue to be higher resistances, in case if Nifty holds above the 5557 mark.
On the flip side the immediate support is at 5530, 5516 and 5498. Target on the lower side is at 5444.
Our outlook for the market continues to be weak and it may slide further. Only a breakout above the 5670 can lift the morale of the bulls.

S&P CNX Nifty for 8 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5555 with 5562 as the immediate resistance and then 5587, 5619 and 5670.
On the flip side the immediate support is at 5532, 5512 and 5490. 5445 should be a more strong support.
Our outlook continues to be negative on the market as it will erode further with new shorts being formed in the system.

S&P CNX Nifty for 5 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5596 with 5610 and 5638 as the immediate resistance.
The support continues to be at 5558 which if breached will see fresh shorts being built in the system as the benchmark index will slide towards 5445.
Our outlook continues to be of weakness and consolidation at lower levels as the market may seek an intermediate bottom. trend will reverse only if it somehow conquers 5683.

S&P CNX Nifty for 4 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5690 with immediate support at 5655. A breach of 5655 will see further erosion sliding towards the rock support of 5558.
On the flip side the market will have to conquer the stiff resistances at 5676, 5692 and 5715 for any hope of return of bulls.
Our outlook for the day is a bit more of the downside and more consolidation at lower levels.

S&P CNX Nifty for 3 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5730 with immediate resistance being at 5777, 5789 and 5816.
The immediate supports are at 5737, 5726 and 5712 and then at 5662.
As envisaged in our yesterday's post, the market index did go up and our outlook continues to be bullish for today. Traders may continue to ride their longs increasing stop loss from yesterday's 5649 to 5662 for today.

S&P CNX Nifty for 2 April 2013.

The tipping point for the day is at 5701 with immediate resistance at 5744, 5775 and 5815. On the flip side the supports are at 5692, 5676 and 5649. A dip below 5649 will erase all the recent profits.
Our outlook for the day is of continued optimism and short term traders are advised to go long on Nifty with 5649 as the strict stop loss.
