Editor’s Note: In the article below from Gabriel Andre–editor of the Swarm Trader and Slipstream Trader–you’ll learn how using technical analysis and chart analysis on ASX 200-listed stocks could add to your Australian stock returns. Read what “Operation Slipstream” is all about and how Gabriel plans to use it for the rest of 2009 to generate trading gains from blue chip stocks.
If you watched the coverage of the Tour de France in July, you would’ve seen how important tactics within a cycling race are to the overall result. What many casual observers of cycling may not realise is how important your actual physical place in the peloton (the large group of cyclists) can be to your overall performance. Where you locate yourself determines how much work you do and, more importantly, whether you are in the right place to make or follow a winning “move.”
Let me give you an example. Stage three of the Tour was a relatively flat 196 kilometre jaunt from Marseille to La Grand Motte. It’s not the sort of terrain in which you’d expect a strong cyclist to try and make a winning move. Normally, these flat stages are controlled by the teams of the sprinters and all the riders arrive at the finish with more or less the same time.

Today your editor is preparing for the ‘Australia in the Red‘ debt summit. If you haven’t reserved a ticket and paid your dues, don’t worry, I’ll give you a brief summary of the action on Monday.
Panel members include our slipstreaming, swarm trading technical analyst Gabriel Andre, Associate Professor Steve Keen from the University of Western Sydney, and Phillip Anderson – managing director of Economic Indicator Services.
I’m expecting it to be a lively debate. Maybe all the panelists will agree with each other – maybe they won’t. Who knows? But that’s all part of it.

Yesterday your editor sent assistant publisher Joanne Ha, and Swarm Trading technical analyst Gabriel Andre out to the local coffee shop.
We armed them with a pencil, paper, a tape-recorder and the task of coming back with some of the basics of foreign exchange trading.
They came back almost an hour later with much more material than we expected. Therefore today’s Money Morning will be completely handed over to them.
For the record, Gabriel enjoyed a skinny milk hot chocolate (sans marshmallow), and Jo’s poison was a skinny latte with one sugar.
But before I hand over the reins, I did promise a visit to the Money Morning Mailbag. But there isn’t enough room today. So we’ll print a selection of them tomorrow. Also, we’ll go through the NAB and ANZ half-year results.

We’ve written quite extensively on property recently. But just when we think all the arguments have been made by those trying to deny the existence of a property bubble, another surfaces.
Last Wednesday Luci Ellis, head of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) Financial Stability Department gave a speech to a conference at Victoria University in Melbourne. It covered the usual topics to do with the recent market turmoil: what happened, why it happened, what’s going to happen next, and… why Australia is different and won’t be affected.
You know, the usual stuff.

On the agenda today of course is the Reserve Bank of Australia decision on interest rates. Everyone seems to be offering their opinion on what the bank will do, so why should we be any different.
In our opinion the RBA will cut/raise/hold (delete as appropriate) interest rates at today’s meeting.
In other words, we’ve got no idea. And neither do most of the talking-head economists you’ll watch on the news today leading up to it. But one thing is certain, they’ll turn “I don’t know” into about five minutes of dross.
And the market isn’t completely certain either…
