- This is a chart for USDINR spot.
- I trying to count a possible pattern of double three in this 2 and 1/2 yr up move in USDINR from early 40s.
- The first leg was a 3 wave move, followed by an [X] wave.
- The price pattern after the [X] wave may be counted as a neutral triangle (Courtesy Neowave).
- Which means wave [C] should be the longest of wave [A], [C] and [E].
- The wave [B] was a drawn out affair in time, but price wise it did not make an impact, where as the possible wave [D] is sharp so far, and may reach 58.74 odd levels, before it is done with, providing us with clear alternation in price, time and the pattern formed or construction.
- Wave [E] should be short and sweet, and a sharp down move should follow once it is done.
- Now I am only learning Neowave, and there may be mistakes in my analysis, which I will be glad to correct upon pointed out.
- But the purpose of this analysis is to provide us with a broad possibility, or a broad road map, to guide our trading activities on shorter fractals.

- GAPS in prices are like windows of opportunities.
- Last time we were supported by the gap between 5738.50-5673.60, this demand zone propelled us upwards.
- Now we are approaching another gap at 6024.55-5989.00, this should act as a resistance zone for the prices.
- Price behavior near this zone will tell us whether we have placed a medium to long term bottom in place, or this rise is just a corrective rally.
- One cannot miss the falling TL which is now being approached by the prices, even if we BO from this TL, we have a gap resistance right above it.
- So a host of supply zones are immediately above us, will the markets break through them or we are going to get badgered down again, remains to be see.
- I think one should think about protecting what they have rather than thinking of what one could gain, at such junctures in price.
- I would tighten my SL, and look for reentry if all these supply zones are taken out.

- Above is a monthly chart of Nifty, :).
- We are tracking a big triangle on Nifty, with possibility of an "upward" resolution.
- A "?" following wave {E} suggests that, we may need some more price action inside the triangle boundaries before Nifty gives an actual breakout.
- The possible triangle pattern marked is huge and is already in its 6th year. One can imagine what the thrust from this huge triangle breakout will be.
- Looking back over last 6 years this might be the best R/R scenario that has developed, with strong backing of the triangle pattern and its post pattern implications.
- One can clearly define risk in such a scenario, and possible rewards are tempting.
- Looking at the weekly picture, we can see the pattern developing in wave {E}is not yet done.
- A special type of "Neowave" triangle may be forming, which requires wave E to complete.
- We may see prices reaching our for the 5740-5680 range, to form the final or last low of this 6 year long triangle, corrective pattern.
- Classical Technical Analysts, may spot a possible "Inverse HnS", in the making, a BO from the NL of which, will give us the required impetus to begin a new bull market.
- On the daily fractal, we need some more time to finish this wave D, may be till expiry of current (Sept 2013) series.
- Next month may take us down towards the zone identified by us as the possible ending zone of the 6 year long triangle.
- The down move has to be a 3 wave move. Upon completion of which we might begin the next bull market.
- This analysis is being done on a very big fractal, and time targets mentioned anywhere in this post may lengthen/shorten as the market action develops.
- The whole premise of the bull market rests on the perceived "triangle" pattern, and if it does not play out, the whole scenario may need a re-look.
- My analysis attempts to identify, possible termination of known patterns, and then look for a low R/R scenario to trade. The counts and the forecast comes second, (Though this is in no way a trading recomendation.)
- Targets for this potential setup has been reserved purposefully, as it depends on the individuals trading systems, to decide what the trade parameters will be. I will update my blog as and when I feel we are at a critical juncture of pattern development.
- Most importantly, there is no compulsion for the readers to deliberate on what is shared on this blog, so if you don't like it, please look for better ones, that being said I always welcome constructive criticism.
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
- Nifty has followed the script so far. We are bang in the middle of the consolidation zone discussed earlier (5750-5900).
- We have not yet broken out of the down slanting TL discussed in the last post.
- This consolidation should continue through this week, and may spillover in the next.
- I am looking for resumption of the up move once this correction is done with.
- One can gather additional clues from a shorter fractal, discussed below.
- This hourly chart shows we have hit a ceiling for the time being around 5950 zone.
- We may need to correct towards the NL to find support and additional buyers to propel us through the down slanting TL.
- Look for 5700 odd levels to offer support in coming weeks.
- I am not yet sold on the short case, but should such circumstances arise, I will point it out accordingly.
Friday, September 06, 2013
- Prices have recovered after the single day 200 point drubbing.
- This recovery has taken prices all the way up to the upper boundary of the resistance zone marked in last post (5600-5685).
- Now should prices break out from this supply zone, we have next one right after this, between 5750-5900.
- I am not sure at this point about what may happen if we enter this new zone 5750-5900, but it might tilt the balance in favor of the bulls.
- Of course a confirmation of a trend change would come once we break out from the slanting TL just above the blue box on the chart above.
- It would be very interesting to watch the prices if they reach the 5750-5900 band.
- Right now, till we take out 5685, there is a chance that sellers may return.
- Above 5685, we may test the upper boundary of the 5750-5900 band.
Monday, September 02, 2013
- Nifty closed above a falling TL, indicative of a BO. But is this BO for real.
- Well we need more confirmation whether the down move is complete, or we are rising to fall again.
- For this up move to continue, we must take out the 5600-5685 band.
- We are already at a crucial resistance of 5566, if we take it out, then the resistance zone mentioned takes effect.
- The skies are clear once we take out these two levels, though.
- So keep your risks measured till the time all these resistances are taken out, till such time there is a real risk of sellers returning.
Tuesday, August 27, 2013
- A possible pattern formation on DI.
- The possibility suggests lower DI in coming weeks.
- For that we need a clear BD from the B-D TL shown on the chart.
- If we do get a break then the first target is in the vicinity of 78 odd levels, and below that we should find support around 76 odd levels.
- But the break of the B-D TL is essential.
- The only hitch is the current down leg has already taken more time than preceeding up leg, a sign of market with an upward bias.
Wednesday, August 14, 2013
- This Nifty chart clearly shows that we have found support at the earlier support zone, now tested 4 times.
- We also have a resistance zone brewing around 6090 - 6135 range.
- If this rally is for good, we can test this resistance zone, in coming weeks.
- The start certainly looks convincing.
- If we do rally to this resistance zone, it will interesting to see what Nifty does there, a breakout above the last high of 6229.45 (which "investors" are hoping for), we may see much higher levels, in the vicinity of 6500 - 7000 (but this is just a conjecture at this point, we need much confirmation before any of this becomes a possibility).
- Right now I would be betting on the levels of 6090 - 6135 being reached before we make a new low or break the support zone.
- But markets are known to do there own thing, and I know that a SL will protect my capital!
Thursday, July 25, 2013
1. The rising wedge is violated, and the first pause may come around 5800 - 5775.
2. Below this levels we may see even lower values.
3. There are multiple possibilities developing in the market and I will cover the big picture this Saturday.
4. For the time being the trend is clearly down, and the intensity warns us against treating this fall as just another retracement to the preceding uptrend.
Monday, July 22, 2013
- There are some very interesting things happening on the Banknifty weekly chart above.
- First since the start of 2012, we have been rising faster and falling slower, which is a clear indication of the fact that the trend is higher.
- Every time the indicators reached the OS levels we got a nice move out of it.
- So far since 2012 we had never violated a pivot low, which has occurred just now, but again this has happened with larger time taken to fall than to rise.
- So by this token the trend is still up, and we are once again at the OS levels on the indicators.
- For traders this is a nice reward to risk setup, my personal opinion would be to buy at these levels with a small stop below last pivot low, and target towards the 61.8% retracement level of the last fall.
Friday, July 19, 2013
- A rising wedge can be spotted on the Nifty, with negative divergences and OB levels on the oscillators.
- All this indicate that the current up move is losing steam quite like the character of a rising wedge.
- Add to that the supply zone overhead and the upper wedge boundary, we may be very close to a short term top.
- I believe 5970 would be an ideal level, a closing below which will be a strong signal of an end to this up move.
- A close above 6230 however will change our medium term outlook, please refer my last post for a longer term outlook, here.
Saturday, July 13, 2013
- Nifty staged a sharp rally in last couple of days, marked with important announcements overseas.
- The next pivot resistances are coming in around 6130 levels, that is another 100 points away from current levels.
- But will we get there, and complete a classic (a)-(b)-(c) correction, remains to be seen.
- Right now, I think we are at a critical resistance once again, and this time the levels are 6020-6030.
- One can get a clear idea by looking at the 2 hour chart below.
- This chart clearly shows we have closed above the 5970 mark, which in itself is bullish, but the next bout of selling is likely to come in the 6020-6030 area.
- If we can cross this area, then the next 100 points should come easily.
- On the longer term though there is a doubt between what is the correct wave structure that is playing out, I have given 2 most likely option according to my limited understanding of the EWP and Neowave Theory, right now there are no preferred count, both are equally likely.
- One count suggests, that the second X wave is still in progress, and is forming a triangle pattern. Which suggests we should find resistance soon and fall again to complete the triangle. Once this triangle is done, we should see the thrust out of the triangle.
- Other count suggests, that the second X wave was done at 5477.20. And the wave Z may be forming a triangle or an ED. In both cases we have another couple of wave pending before we see a final top in place.
- Both the possibilities above are presuming that our long term count of a big flat correction is correct, and will play out.
- So far the conditions have not changed to make us alter the count, but should things change, we will be there to inform you about them.
Thursday, July 11, 2013
- Nifty has been in a sideways consolidation for last few days, it actually formed a flag/pennant.
- We have a clear BO today. As we have been reiterating, the band of 5870-5970 was critical for any up move.
- Right now too 5970 is very important, above that level we may test 6030 - 6130 band.
- We have an (a)-(b)-(c) move on our hand, and wave (c) should be equal to wave (a), which comes around the 6100 mark approximately.
- SL for this trade would be the last pivot low, around 5800 with current price around 5940 and with probable target around 6130, we get a reward to risk ratio of approximately 2.
- Oscillators are in OB zone, but during trending moves, they can stay OB for a while.
Monday, July 08, 2013
- Nifty has been trapped in a trading band of 5910 - 5760.
- The resistance zone pointed out in last post is providing supply.
- We need to take out 5970 - 5910 zone for this up move to continue.
- We have a support zone around 5760 - 5730, which should absorb any down shock to the market.
- But the key remains the supply zone overhead, which needs to be taken out.
- According to EWP, since we have a faster retracement, we can begin a new count, for a possible upmove, we may have wave (a) / (1) behind us already.
- The indicators are moving towards an OS zone, which should be a good area to buy, a retest of previous pivot low at 5760, would be ideal.
Wednesday, July 03, 2013
- Resistance offered in the resistance zone identified.
- Now the big question whether the trend is changing from down to up or we have resumed the downtrend.
- The key support comes at 5686, if honored, we may see atleast another leg up, or a possible trend change.
- If we breakdown from 5686, we have more downsides left.
Tuesday, July 02, 2013
- USDINR was rising in a rising wedge formation since the 2008 equity market crisis.
- The trend is unmistakable, and strong, but from price extremes come big moves.
- We have a potential for one such scenario playing out, but one must tread cautiously, as the underlying trend can spring back to life without any warning.
- There was a fibo confluence zone around 62 to 60.40, and we seem to have found selling pressure here, indicate towards a pause.
- Oscillators are in OB zone.
- Classical EWP practitioners would feel confident of pattern completion as the pattern preceding the last up leg was a triangle, which according to classical EWP precedes last thrust in the trend.
- There is a broad support zone between 58.92 - 57.30.
- The current OB status on the oscillators suggest prices should recede a bit. MACD is showing negative divergence (not shown on the charts).
- Below 57.30 we may see the larger trend reversing.
- The long standing support TL on RSI, should give an early warning of a reversal if violated.
Monday, July 01, 2013
- The triangle mentioned in the last post resolved upwards, which most likely suggests that the bottom, at least in the short term is in place.
- The important hurdle though lies between 5870 - 5970. Once through this band we should see even higher prices.
- This resistance band may cause a temporary pause in the markets, if the pattern of the pause is a 3 wave move, this should be used as an opportunity to add to longs or create new longs.
- 5680 odd level should provide good support to any correction, should prices reach there.
- The current OB condition on STS and RSI also concur with the "pause" theory.
- As long as 5680 is protected, any OS condition on the ST charts should be used to buy into Nifty.
Wednesday, June 26, 2013
- Tomorrow is expiry day, and what the markets will do is a million dollar question?
- Now trying to anticipate expiry day move is a difficult endeavor, and requires deep understanding of option data, and many other market factors.
- Here only EWP is used to anticipate the price action, this is in no way a recommendation to trade, but just an experiment.
- The chart above suggests that the price action from last pivot high is of corrective nature, and taking the shape of a DZZ.
- The last leg of the second ZZ, is showing clear 5 wave move, with market consolidating in wave 4, possibly a triangle.
- Once this triangle is resolved we will most likely get our wave 5 down. The funny part is if this triangle resolves in the upward direction, our view is invalidated.
Monday, June 24, 2013
- Nifty is approaching a host of supports ranging from 5600 odd levels to 5475. The last pivot low rests at 5477.20, unless this pivot low is taken out there is a possibility of another leg up.
- Whether this leg up takes out the last pivot high around 6229.45 remains to be seen.
- The fall from last pivot high is looking more corrective than impulsive, and given the supports combined with possible +ve divergences, we may atleast see a pause to this vicious fall.
- Also prices have already taken greater time to fall as compared to the last rally and still have not retraced the rise completely, which means the larger trend should still be up.
- But all this analysis is anticipative, a wise trader always follows what market is doing, and right now it is moving down, unless there is a clear evidence that the trend has turned no long positions are warranted. Stop-losses can be tightened at best on shorts.
- The support zones mentioned above have provided support to the prices twice before, hope prices get third time lucky. But the overall picture is not encouraging, even though we may get a leg up, but the picture is turning bearish on a bigger fractal. Unless the all time high is taken out we cannot expect the bullish euphoria to return.
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
- Here is a slightly modified count for Nifty.
- A double three, a flat followed by a ZZ, altered the end of wave (a).
- This count keeps the possibility of another up leg alive.
- But if we close the gap made during the island reversal and the preferably the low of the island, then this possibility loses its credibility.
- Till such time, due respect should be given to what markets are telling us.
- Clearly the long side had a great reward to risk ratio, but that is always true in a down trend, this is the only reason people fall prey to bottom fishing.
- But a clear chart pattern (island reversal), a plausible wave count, a BO above the TL, and +ve divergence in the indicators, all support the possibility of at least a near term bottom forming.
- We have clear validation and invalidation points for this view, till any one side is confirmed.
Monday, June 17, 2013
- Nifty has tested a strong support at 5750.
- Went below it for one day, even closed below it, but bounced back smartly the very next day, as if rejecting that level completely.
- In this process, we have got a typical chart pattern by the name of an "Island Reversal".
- Now prices should sustain above this gap, to confirm the pattern, and should see a nice up move from these levels.
- We have just broken above a falling TL, and barring the the gap down day (the island), we can safely say that the price action is contained well within a set of parallel lines, indicating that the price action is corrective in nature.
- So all this suggests that we are in for another up leg, but this would be possible only if we take out a crucial resistance band of 5970-5870, above which this upmove if it materializes should not find much resistance.
- USDINR reached both HnS targets. (This pattern is really potent when it plays out.)
- And as with any rapid rise a pause is always good.
- We get a better idea by looking at the weekly chart below.
- There is a rising wedge type pattern forming on the charts.
- We have actually reached the upper channel boundary of the pattern too, so again prices may pause a while.
- Now technically we have reached the targets but there is a possibility of another leg up once this consolidation is done with.
- Also a possibility of a parabolic rise is there if prices take out the upper channel boundary of this rising wedge pattern.
Right now a pause is in order, which might give equity markets some respite. We have to keep a close eye on the pattern which may form during this consolidation, to get further insights in the markets.
Tuesday, June 04, 2013
- Nifty did correct from the resistance zone of 6140-6070, and fell down towards the previous support zone of 5970-5935.
- This support zone has held prices for last 2 days, also a 3 wave move is visible on the charts.
- Now if this support zone is respected, we might have seen the completion of wave {a} or even wave (b). in either case we may see prices rising from this support zone, and head towards the top of wave (a), at least.
- If prices break below this support zone convincingly, we may see further down move towards 5750 levels.
Thursday, May 30, 2013
- Possible HnS marked on the chart.
- Possible HnS marked on the chart.
- Possible HnS marked on the chart.
This is not a post to tout another trading opportunity, but if you can squeeze one out of it, good for you. This is just an interesting observation, lets see how.
As with every trader, I have my ways of identifying possible supply and demand zones in the markets, and the above charts are examples of 3 markets which according to my analysis, MAY be at or near a supply zone. Now this is exactly what as a trader I am on the lookout for, a possible supply and demand zone, and a good clear CTA pattern with clear entry and invalidation objectives.
If this supply zone plays out, then these small HnS patterns could be the ones, which will prove to be the exact entry point in to the markets, of course if we trade above the top of the head, this pattern invalidates and so will be my supply zone. Then I will have to get back to the drawing board I guess.
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
- Soybean futures are at a crucial juncture.
- We saw a stupendous rally last year, and prices touched a high around 5000.
- We are back to the time (sowing season) when there is a supply crunch in the markets and the demand is high.
- Technically speaking, we have a sharp 5 wave rally last year wave [3], preceded by a 5 wave move wave [1], and also followed by a possible 5 wave move in wave [5].
- Of this latest 5 wave move, we have waves (1)-(2)-(3) done, wave (4) is in progress, and hopefully wave (5) should follow.
- Ideally prices should go above the top of wave [3], atleast close to it.
- So once this correction in wave (4) is done, which I feel is quite close to finishing, we should see prices rising.
- Whether we take out the previous high, or fall short of it, I cant tell now, but we should surely get a tradable up move in coming months.
Monday, May 27, 2013
- Prices broke down from the lower channel line of a broadening triangle.
- Now pulling back, the interesting thing to watch is whether prices find resistance at the lower channel boundary.
- A nice reward to risk short trade can be taken here, with SL above the lower channel boundary.
- If prices find resistance then we are in for even lower prices.
Friday, May 24, 2013
- Nifty has reversed from an important resistance zone.
- Prices have met with supply in this zone twice before this weeks price action.
- Big bearish engulfings, have resulted in sustained down moves, and this time time too it may turn out to be the same.
- Since this is the turning point, understandably, people, traders, investors are torn between bullish and bearish arguments, and, interestingly both would be equally impressive at this juncture.
- But a big bearish engulfing in an establshed supply zone, with RSI -ve divergence and higher prices with falling volume, all indicate towards at least a temporary top in place.
- The rising wedge is unmistakable and so would be the aftermath, if it plays out.
- I would again like to state the obvious, that, should prices resume their upmove and take out the supply zone marked in the chart above, we should see even higher prices.
- This is the daily chart of Crude, my earlier view of a three wave move was falsified (refer last post here), but we got another bearish formation in the bargain, perhaps with a more severe reaction to follow.
- We are forming a rising wedge, and though we momentarily shot over the resistance zone, we are promptly back below it.
- So far the rises were fast and corrections were slow, but if this were to reverse that is if falls start taking lesser time compared to upward corrections, we may as well conclude, that a down move is beginning.
- The triangle on the weekly chart is still in contention.
- Prices were beautifully resisted at the upper TL of the triangle.
- Now if we do not BO above the upper TL soon, we may test the lower boundary of the triangle.
Thursday, May 23, 2013
- RCOM has a resistance zone in the 113-131 band.
- Volumes are rising, should be indicative of a bottoming formation.
- The sharp rise in RSI above the OB zone suggests a possible fundamental shift from a bearish to bullish view.
- But the current OB condition should delay the eventual BO.
- I don't understand the business of RCOM, but since the name Reliance features in the company title, I believe a BO should result in a sustained move.
- This is the chart for Dow Jones showing the last rally since 2009. We have broken into new high grounds, but certain points need to be pondered over.
- Thought the rally is looking strong, it is still contained within parallel lines, and that tells us that this price action is still in the corrective realm.
- Prices are approaching the top boundary of the corrective channel, at the same time RSI is in OB zone, getting resisted at the previous peak in RSI, giving rise to a sort of negative divergence.
- Most obviously the last peak around 14200 odd levels, becomes the key level, should we break below it, we can call at least a short term correction to this rally, if not the start of a new bear market.
- In lieu of gathering more evidence supporting our view, I have attached chart of Dollar Index below, which makes some startling revelations for us.
- The whole correction post the rapid fall from 2002 - 2005, so far looks like a rounding bottom to me on this monthly chart of DI. We had earlier proposed a view that this correction is a pause in the existing downtrend, and is taking the shape of a triangle, refer here.
- But some new developments warn us against such a possibility.
- We can see that, Prices have been getting resisted at the falling trendline (blue color), and also making higher lows, at the same time.
- But the interesting thing is that similar pattern is forming in RSI, and RSI has given an advance BO above its own falling TL, more often than not prices follow suit.
- So if DI is giving us a BO above a multi year TL, then surely this will not augur well for the equities, aka DJIA.
So my final word on it is, should we get a BO in DI, then we are in for a turbulent times in equities, and economy in general.
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
- DLF got resisted in the zone we mentioned a couple of days back, refer last post here.
- Now the question is will the support zone of 230-225 hold the prices this time.
- If the correction is done, then the support should give way, otherwise we might find support in this zone once again.
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
- Silver had a stupendous run, and everybody's aware of it.
- Many are now feeling sour as Silver did not reach the moon (as promised by brokers, advisers, et all), and they are stuck with long (even worse physical Silver) positions, very close to the moon. The only problem is, prices are closer to earth and are coming further down.
- But is there a structure to this down move, and to the upmove that preceded, well fortunately there is, and that might help us realize where exactly are we in the big picture, and where shall we get an opportunity to reduce our holdings (and pain) at a better price.
- We are in a corrective counter trend move (as EWP suggests us), and though the correction may not be over, it will certainly give us upward spurts in prices, to lighten our holdings. So when do we know that there is a spurt coming, well whenever the prices complete a clean 3 wave corrective move, we will get an upward spurt.
- Is there a chance like it on the horizon? Well we cant be certain about it (for that matter about anything) but we can surely put odds in our favor a little bit just at the right time, by using EWP.
- We are in an [a]-[b]-[c] downmove, and the wave [c] as always consists of 5 waves.
- We are currently in wave (3) of [c] which means there is some more downside before we complete this wave [c]. So far as this wave [c] is incomplete, any bounce we might get will be promptly sold into.
- I can identify some support zones on the chart, where Silver might find some demand.
- We are currently in one such area between 41875-40000, below 40000 though the next area of support comes around 33900-31600. Also notice the lower boundary of the falling channel.
- All these observations suggests that one should not hurry to jump on the long side, wait for the prices to complete their course, show signs of reversing at important support zones, and then buy. Till then enjoy the toboggan ride!
Monday, May 20, 2013
- Above is a daily chart for DLF, the counter has spiked perfectly in the resistance zone, refer previous post here.
- We may see prices traveling all the way down to the lower band of this trading range.
- One may notice a peculiar pattern in the RSI indicator.
- Reliance is looking like it has managed a corrective rally, I had pointed out that prices may trudge higher (refer previous post here), but now the pattern looks complete.
- Also one might notice that this complete rally looks like it is a part of the right shoulder of a big HnS pattern.
- If this is true, then we are in for an immediate downmove till the NL, and below which we may see prices falling even further.
- Nifty is now in a precarious zone. I was hoping for a new high.
- But prices have completed the minimum requirement for an ED, and this pattern is usually followed by a sudden and abrupt reversals.
- The longs should be trailed with close stops, so long as we are not in an uncharted territory, once at an all time high, we can do nothing but follow the prices.
- Volumes are falling continuously, so traders and investors alike, should be on their toes.
Friday, May 17, 2013
- Just a thought, about this rally in Nifty.
- Please remember, this is not a recommendation or trade idea.
- I was just trying to count the waves on this Nifty rally, and I could find 3 legitimate possibilities.
- One calls for a start of a medium term down move, one calls for a pause, and last one calls for continuation of this up move even further up. The possibilities are marked on the chart with appropriate labels (are open for discussion).
- This is an ideal time to tighten stops, a few counters are showing patterns with bearish implications, but one should not trade against the trend, let the markets tip their hand.
- Till then either watch from the sidelines, or trail your long positions.

The 2009 County Rose Bowl - Marion Stewart progresses to the Semi Final Stages
Marion Stewart (Kilmacolm) and Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle) played their 1st round tie of the County Rosebowl over Kilmacolm today.
Having just met Megan with her huge big Trophy and being allowed to get their hands on it they decided to try and be like Megan and play good golf !!!
Not quite in the same league as Megan !!!
However, it was a great game ( a square match -- both with the same handicaps - 10)
--- Marion was out in 2 over par --- 37 despite having a double bogey at the par 3, 218 yard 6th hole. Carol was out in 40 and was 3 down.
She then had a good wee run and got it back to all square at the 13th. Marion then went one up at the 14th -- to which Carol replied with a birdie at the 15th. Marion then closed off the tie when Carol 3 putted the 16th and bogied the 17th

Accurate driving, steady short game were secrets of Megan's success
We thought you would like to hear what she had to say about her victory at Southerness.
"I am studying law at Strathclyde University and have just finished scond year.
"I am going to play in the British women's open amateur championship at Royal St David's Golf Club, Harlech in North Wales in a couple of weeks.
"To win the 'Scottish' is a great honouor and something that all Scottish amateurs aspire to and practise for. My exams finished the week before Southerness, which meant that I could focus on my golf and the competition.
"During the championship, my driving was very accurate, which was crucial in the wind. Also my short game was very steady and it probably what saw me right through to the final.
"I would once again like to thank the SLGA and Southerness for the fantastic week - and also my Dad for caddying, seeing as I forgot to thank him in my speech!"
Megan now in contention for GB&I team place for Vagliano Trophy
Neither Megan Briggs nor Louise Kenney was named early last October when the preliminary squad for the Vagliano Trophy match against the Continent of Europe at Hamburger Golf Club, Germany on July 24-25 was announced.
But skipper Mary McKenna has said that the Ladies Golf Union Selection committee will choose, after the British women's open amateur championship at Royal St David's Golf Club, Harlech in North Wales from June 9 to 12, nine players who have shown the best form in 2009, whether they are in that prelim squad or not.
Incidentally, the winners of the English (Charlie Douglass) and Welsh (Tara Davies) women's title were not in the squad either!
Megan needs to follow up her victory at Southerness with a good run in the "British" - and, if she does that, the selectors will surely plump for her as a new GB&I cap.
The same goes for Fife champion Louise Kenney, who played great golf to get to the Scottish final - four under par in beating the No 2 seed Kylie Walker in the quarter-finals, but then was let down by her driving on the last day.
Next year's 96th Scottish women's closed amateur championship will be played for the first time at Craigielaw and, in 2011, the venue will be Machrihanish.

Megan with the Championship Trophy
Megan Briggs is the 2009 Scottish Champion
After a gap of 20 years Renfrewshire Ladies' County Golf Association has a new Scottish Champion ---- MEGAN BRIGGS from Kilmacolm. (pictured right)
Renfrewshire County Champion Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) is the 95th Scottish women's closed amateur champion.
She beat Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) by 4 and 3 in the 18-hole final at Southerness Golf Club on the north shore of the Solway Firth this morning.
Megan, one down after two holes, took a grip on the final by winning four holes in a row from the fifth.
At the turn, Megan was three up on her Scotland international team-mate, Louise Kenney, a 26 year old schoolteacher
Par ..........4-4-4-3-5-4-3-4-5--OUT 36
BRIGGS: 4-5-5-3-5-4-3-4-4--OUT 37 (one over par) Three up KENNEY:4-4-5-3-6-5-4-5-4--OUT 40 (three over par)
Louise Kenney scored her first success since the second hole with a par at the short 10th but fell back to three down again by bogeying the par-4 11th.
The 12th was halved in bogey 5s and the long 13th in birdie 4s to leave Megan three up with five to play.
Megan made it back-to-back birdies with a 4 at the long 14th to go four up and a half in par 3s at the short 15th ended the final in her favour by 4 and 3.
Megan, with three birdies to her credit, was one over par approximately for the holes play. Louise, who had two birdies. was roughly five over par at the finish.

Megan wins at the 19th to reach the 2009 Scottish Championship Final
Two first-time finalists, 20-year-old Renfrewshire's Megan Briggs from Kilmacolm, and 26-year-old Louise Kenney from the Pitreavie club, Dunfermline will contest the 18-hole climax to the 95th Scottish women's closed amateur golf championship over the Southerness links on the north shore of the Solway Firth tomorrow morning.
Strathclyde University student Megan Briggs, the No 4 seed, won her semi-final at the 19th against Jane Turner (Mortonhall), the 19-year-old British Universities champion and No 8 qualifier.
Primary schoolteacher Kenney, the No 10 qualifier, beat her Fife county team-mate, Elaine Moffat (St Regulus), the No 22 qualifier, by 5 and 4 in the second semi-final.
Both Briggs, who is a scratch player, and Kenney, who has a +1 rating, played for Scotland in last year's women's home internationals at Wrexham.
It will not be a first time in a national match-play final for either player. Briggs lost to Carly Booth in the final of the Scottish Under-18 girls championship at Peterhead in 2007.
Kenney won the same title in 2000, beating Carnoustie's Fiona Gilbert in the final.
Louise, who spent four years on the US college circuit and was rated one of the best golfers ever to have played for Iowa State University, was roughly level par in her victory over Moffat, who won the Scottish women's championship at North Berwick in 1998 and is now in her 40s. A good effort by Elaine to get as far as the last four.
A double bogey 6 at Moffat at the sixth opened the door for Kenney to go one up, a lead she doubled at the next when her opponent, in trouble, conceded. Moffat had more bogey trouble to lose the 12th, 13th and 14th and the match.
Megan Briggs has been Renfrewshire women's champion for the past four years, even though she is still only 20. Her match-play experience from events like that pulled her through against Turner who was two up at the turn.
Megan won the 11th, 12th and 13th with a birdie-par-birdie run to take a one-hole lead but she bogeyed the 15th to be pulled back to all square. From there in, it was a case of who would have the strongest nerve. The 16th, 17th and 18th holes were halved in par before Megan was conceded the 19th and a place in the final.
Megan, who had been two under par in beating fellow international Laura Murray in the morning, was roughly one over par in the semi-final.
The final will tee off at 9am on Saturday morning.
Thanks go to Colin Farquharson for the report

Megan Briggs and Clare Marie Carlton qualify for the matchplay stages of the Scottish Championships
Overnight leader Pamela Pretswell, a Glasgow University student and member of the Bothwell Castle club, duly claimed the No 1 seed position among the 32 who advance to the match-play stages. And she underlined her claims to be the favourite with a second-round, one-under-par 72, the best round of the two days, compared with her opening score of 76 in the windblown first day, which was also the best of that day.
Big-hitting D&A's Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), another member of the GB&I squad, again birdied four par-5 holes in returning a 74 for the No 2 qualifying spot on 151.
RLCGA Champion Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) had a terrific round today to equal the par of 73 for the 6010yd course to qualify in 4th place. Clare- Marie Carlton (Fereneze)has also qualified for the match play stages in 15th place. Unfortunatly Renfrewshire's Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), 84-80 for 164, who also qualified had to pull out of the matchplay stages because of examinations later in the week.

This year, for the first time, the McNeil Trophy pictured above will be awarded to the County Team of 3 returning the lowest aggregate scratch score in the 2 qualifying rounds with the 2 best scores counting each day. The Trophy, in memory of Kathleen McNeil, Renfrewshire's late Honorary Life President, has been presented by Miss Marigold Speir, Scottish Champion in 1957. It is very fitting that this trophy will not only be a permanent reminder of the Centenary of Scottish County Golf but to Kathleen who contributed so much to golf and was known by so many lady golfers in Scotland.
The Renfrewshire Team is Megan, Clare-Marie and Eilidh. Play well girls - all of you!

Juniors have a "Fun Day" at Mearns Castle Golf Academy
A "fun day" was held at the Mearns Golf Academy with Karyn Burns on 30th April. We had a good turn out and the girls really enjoyed themselves as they had putting and chipping lessons, a few golf related games then set free to launch some drivers off in the teaching bays. It was also great for some of the Junior Conveners to be involved especially Liz Hale and Susan Flemming who devoted their time to help out.

Albion target Adam Clayton is finally scheduled to complete a move to Middlesbrough.
According to the Middlesbrough Gazette the Huddersfield midfielder is due to have a medical today in the North-East at the third time of asking.
Clayton did not turn up for a medical a week ago amid Albion's interest after Middlesbrough and Huddersfield had agreed a £1.5 million fee rising to a potential £2 million.
Clayton failed to show for a medical for the second time on Friday evening.
Boro boss Aitor Karanka reportedly intervened and phoned Clayton to reiterate he wanted him - but also set a deadline for the deal to go through.
Boro are now hopeful it will be third time lucky, with Jacob Butterfield moving in the opposite direction for around £750,000.

On this day, 25 years ago, a beautiful baby girl was born in Boston, Massachusetts. She had no idea what trials and tribulations, successes and achievements life would have in store for her. That baby girl was me!
Although I've achieved some things in my life I never would have considered when I was younger, like moving away from home and living on my own, or adopting and caring for a dog, or even starting a blog, I've made plenty of mistakes (getting myself into $200,000 of student loan debt for one) and there are still some things I would like to achieve.
Here are 26 things I'd like to accomplish before turning 26.
1. Go back to school for my master's degree
2. Start my career in marketing
3. Pay off $5,000 in debt
4. Make 3 new, good friends
5. Develop a marketing portfolio
6. See more success with She Tried It
7. Volunteer at the animal shelter at least once per month
8. Go camping
9. Go to the beach
10. Call my grandparents more often
12. Have an emergency fund of $2,000
13. See a play or musical
14. Take more pictures
15. Learn to bake a pie from scratch
16. Go apple picking
17. Build something
18. Have a dinner party
19. Decorate my apartment so it feels more like home
20. Read 10 novels just for fun
21. Take a mini vacation to another city
22. Watch 10 IMDb top rated movies
24. Go to 10 restaurants I've never tried before
25. Get out of my comfort zone
26. Be nicer, love harder
As the year goes on, I will continue to revisit this post and check off goals as I accomplish them. Hopefully, by September 12, 2019, this list will be totally crossed off!

Recognizing our staff
(Column ~ 02/11/08)
Trying to distinguish the quality of The Daily Reporter is a tough thing. Each year, we send what we feel is some of the staff's best work to the Iowa Newspaper Association which in turn submits to another regional state's newspaper association for judging. That's to avoid any chance for favoritism. And each year it changes so you know you're not going to get the same opinion each year...

Hello, my name is Peter Clarke.
I am a qualified Naturopath, Herbalist and Pharmacist and have spent the past 25 years working professionally in these health fields throughout south east Queensland.
My passion is implementing a holistic approach to enhance the well-being of my clients. Whether you are dealing with a diagnosed medical condition or you feel just 'not quite right' in some area of your health, I can help you to regain control and set you on the path to wellness and optimal health.
Many patients who come to see me are using some form of prescription medication. Some are looking for an alternative medication, while others are seeking to lessen their intake of prescription drugs. During my 25 years as a Pharmacist, I have gained extensive knowledge of prescription medication and fully understand the ways they are used and their effects.
I have witnessed some amazing results successfully combining safe, specifically prescribed natural supplements with the patients' prescription medication. There is no doubt that without my intervention, some of these patients would have had their quality of life dramatically reduced.
Most importantly, I have come to realise that if long term changes are to be made, it's essential to undertake a comprehensive analysis of each patient to ensure that:
- Supplements prescribed are specific to their needs and not just a band-aid to mask a more complicated, underlying problem.
- Prescribed supplements are compatible and do not interact with other medication or supplements.
- The supplements prescribed are of the highest quality and have been proven scientifically to have a therapeutic effect.
I also believe that it is important to work collaboratively with all other healthcare practitioners to ensure that each patient receives the comprehensive level of care necessary on the journey to maximum wellbeing.
Everyone's health needs are different, and whether prescription drugs or natural supplements or a safe combination of both are needed, the primary objective should always be to gain the highest level of health possible so that you can enjoy life to the fullest.
I look forward to meeting you and assisting you on the path to wellness.
Peter Clarke N.D

Where to Buy Affordable and Quality MLM Leads
When it comes to MLM marketing, the marketers can opt to take two paths: play at the crowded lower level and make some meager incomes or play at the elite level and make the money that you have been dreaming of. One of the main characteristics of the elite players is that they do not sit and wait for manna to drop from heaven. They invest in the network marketing infrastructure and build an Australian leads pipeline that keeps on generating good sales for their network marketing businesses.
You can either keep your MLM marketing business as a hobby or as a real business with real growth prospects in which case you must invest in a robust leads program. Leads are the lifeblood of the network marketing business and whenever you are planning to enter this niche, you must have a strategy at the back of your mind on how you are going to keep the leads pipeline flowing with constant fresh leads to keep your business going. Knowing where to get the best leads for the business is a good success strategy.
Types of leads
Because good leads will be the tipping point determining the success or failure of your MLM marketing business, it is important to clearly understand the gamut of the MLM leads buying process including the various kinds of leads which are available in the marketplace. The quality of the leads will be largely dependent on the process which has been employed in the leads generation process. For example, Australian MLM leads are generated using a variety of techniques such as phone interviews, surveys, long forms and short forms. It is important to go for the long form leads as this means that less time will be sent in the leads conversion or in selling the opportunity. Leads which are not qualified will require more strenuous effort in order to convert them into an opportunity.
Buying MLM Leads from Apache Leads
If you have little time to waste in generating money through the MLM leads, then buying the leads is the best option for you to get your business off to a start like yesterday. Apache Leads is the point of call for anyone looking for solid Australian leads with which to grow their businesses.
There are several packages of Australian leads that buyers can choose from the Apache Leads. At the very top are the Aussie Gold leads generated from phone interviews, surveys and long forms and are top qualified leads. The Aussie Gold Leads with options can be state specific or female only leads thus allowing you to target particular demographic or geographic segments. The Aussie Silver Leads are generated from phone interviews alone. There are several other leads categories which you can find from Apache Leads such as aged leads and economy leads. The economy leads are aged leads designed for those looking for a low cost leads option to build their network marketing businesses. For additional information on the Australian leads or to purchase some for your MLM businesses, check out www.Apacheleads.com.au.

The dramatic Montagne Noire forms the backdrop to the Saint-Chinian vineyards, and to its charming southern French towns and villages.
Wine communicator and retailer Paola Tich travelled there to learn more about the two distinctive styles of red Saint-Chinian wine, not forgetting its rosés and unusual white wines.
On an early evening in September there's an air of expectation among those of us gathering by the banks of the Canal du Midi at Capestang in Saint-Chinian. Holidaymakers pop their heads out from below decks on the moored barges to see if the action has started. Others (like us) nurse coffees at a nearby café, or linger around the outside of the tourist office, where the weekly "un verre au bord du canal" wine tasting is due to begin.
There's quite a crowd by the time the tasting gets underway, a little later than its scheduled 6pm start. We learn that one of the producers, Oliver Pascal of Les Terrasses de Gabrielle, has slipped in his winery. But, with a large bandage and brave smile, he still manages to put on a good show.
Oliver's AC Saint-Chinian Rouge is particularly interesting, as it gives centre stage to the wonderfully-name Lledoner Pelut or "Hairy Grenache" (it's the leaves that are hairy, not the grape!), with Syrah and Mourvèdre playing walk on roles.
These canal-side tastings run from June to the end of September, on Wednesday and Friday evenings with a rotation of winemakers. If you like what you taste, you can buy bottles then and there.
Like many parts of France (and indeed Europe), cellar doors where you can rock up at any time during scheduled weekday opening times, are rare. In Saint-Chinian, Laurent Miquel's Cazal Viel winery is one of the exceptions.
You can visit quite a few vineyards by appointment though, such as Domaine de Pech-Ménel, run by two sisters Marie-Françoise and Elisabeth Poux. As well as trying their wines, it's worth buying some of Elisabeth's delicious thyme jelly, a local speciality that goes brilliantly with goat's cheese.
During the summer, a number of producers organise activities such as guided vineyard walks and jazz concerts, the most ambitious being the annual La Randonnée de Bacchus. This is an 8km ramble through vineyards around the village of Berlou with seven étapes gourmandes (food stops) along the way.
A less energetic option is to base yourself in a vineyard. We stayed at the stunning Château Les Carrasses, a 19th century estate that provides luxury self-catering accommodation in a private club environment. During the peak season, it organises weekly tastings with a local winemaker (you don't have to be a guest to attend) plus regular wine discovery days that go far beyond the château's own wine production.
In the pipeline to join Château Les Carrasses as a luxury destination is the village – yes, village – of Assignan, which is being converted into an "exploded hotel" by Belgian couple Marc and Tine Verstraete. They are buying up houses in the almost-abandoned village with a plan to turn them into restaurants and rooms.
They've started with La Petite Table, a teeny, stylish wine bar and tapas room run by Tine's son Fons de Muynck, a chef inspired by his time in South America. The purple-and-pink themed bar (it works – honestly!) focuses on local wines, not just those produced by Marc and Tine at their wine estate Château Castigno – a place definitely worth a visit by appointment. The wines are good, but it's the funky château that really grabs attention.
Worth visiting is the scenic village of Roquebrun, a medieval jumble of stone houses nestling in the foothills of the rocky mountains and home to the Cave de Roquebrun, a well-respected wine cooperative of local growers. From there, it's a stroll to the cool Cave Saint Martin, a wine bar specialising in biodynamic and minimal-intervention wines from around France, not just Saint-Chinian. The quality of the charcuterie (especially the Iberian ham) is another reason to go, as well as the view over the Orb from the wine bar's terrace while you eat and drink. You can also buy wine, cheese, charcuterie and other gourmet treats to take away.
If you really want to get away from it all, you can hole up in Le Hameau de Cauduro, an isolated mountain hamlet of eight cottages. Despite its two swimming pools and makeshift cinema, there are no shops here (the nearest are a 20-minute drive away). Winemakers will visit on certain Fridays during the summer to run tastings.
A trip to La Maison de Vins in the town of Saint-Chinian is essential if you are interested in learning more about the styles of Saint-Chinian wine that emerge from its two distinct soils – schist and limestone clay. Run by the wine producers' syndicate, and set on one side of the classic tree-lined square, it has a wine dispenser machine so you can sample a variety of reds, whites and rosés.
The syndicate has also produced an "AOC Saint-Chinian" app with lots of well-written, useful information about the wines, the terroir, the producers and wine events. Designed to work offline, you can plan your wine visits in Saint-Chinian without the hassle and cost of constantly finding a connection.
Paola Tich visited the region as a guest of the Syndicat Cru Saint-Chinian – the winegrowers' association of this Languedoc-Roussillon wine region.

Trekking poles can be your best friend or a pain in the butt. Most hikers consider them to be part of every trek they go on. How do we assess whether we really need them? The answer lies in the conditions and terrain of the hike you are taking. Do you need help determining whether you need trekking poles or not? If so, I can help.
Trekking poles can also be known as hiking poles, walking sticks or hiking staffs, depending on whether you are using a pair or one single pole. A trekking pole is basically a ski pole with handles, and is always used in pairs. A hiking staff is also known as a hiking stick and consists of a single pole. Most hikers go with two trekking poles over a hiking staff.
Conditions That Require Trekking Poles
When you are trekking with a heavier backpack, a pair of trekking poles can help your balance and keep you stable, especially on a steep incline. While hiking upslope, you can use the poles to dig in and pull yourself up. When you are descending, the poles will provide good anchor points to distribute your weight with balance against them as you hike downward.
If you are uncertain as to the specific terrain of the territory you are hiking in, or if unexpected conditions arise, it's best to be prepared with a set of trekking poles attached to your hiking backpack. Creek and stream levels are not always obvious, so measuring the water depth or determining how soft the muddy bottom is can be helpful with a hiking stick or trekking pole. While hiking, having a set of trek poles readily available to you can be invaluable if slippery rocks or wet leaves make walking difficult.
Trekking poles are good to have in bear and mountain lion country. Hopefully, you'll never have to fight off an animal, but having trekking poles ready in hand to ward off any interaction would allow you to be armed somewhat for defense.
A hiking staff, which is sometimes called a walking staff or travel staff, consists of a single pole that's most effective when used on relatively flat terrain and with little or no load on your back. If you're taller than about 6 feet, you should choose a hiking staff or trekking poles that have a maximum length of at least 51 inches. If you are shorter than 6 feet tall, most trekking poles are adjustable.
Trekking poles have handle grips that come in a variety of materials and will affect how the poles feel in your hands. Cork is a desirable material because it resists moisture from sweaty hands, decreases vibration and best conforms to the shape of your hands. If you sweat a lot and will be hiking in hot weather, go with cork grips.
Rubber insulates hands from cold, shock and vibration, so it's best for cold-weather activities. However, it's more likely to chafe or blister sweaty hands, so it's less suitable for warm-weather hiking.
Foam absorbs moisture from sweaty hands and is the softest to the touch. Avoid hard plastic grips, they aren't comfortable at all.
Trekking Poles - Handy Uses
If you hike in an area with poison ivy, poison oak, nettles, or any other plant you want to avoid, trekking poles provide an easy way to gently push them to the side and hike on.
Use of trek poles can give you a full body workout as your arms move back and forth. This helps you expend a little more energy, which is great on shorter hikes. On longer hikes you will want to save energy. If you're hiking 8-10 miles a day, having another 1-5% of energy from not swinging your arms with poles can make a big difference in your fatigue level.
If your hands tend to swell when hiking, the use of trekking poles will keep hands closer to the level of the heart, improving blood return to your heart. Correct use of hiking poles is when your elbows angle at about 90 degrees when the pole tips touch the ground.
If you were to get caught in a sudden rain shower, the poles can be used as supports under a tarp for an ultralight shelter. Even if you're just day hiking, having a tarp in your pack, with hiking poles to support it, is one way to be prepared for a survival emergency.
Are you subject to knee pain while hiking? When you hike with trekking poles, you naturally shift your weight and foot strike forward, which has proven to reduce strain. Instead of heel striking, focus on stepping on your fore and mid foot. This engages the natural shock absorbers of your hamstrings to buffer any shock in your step. Shifting your weight forward when hiking with trekking poles benefits strain to the knees.
When you descend on your hike, instead of jabbing down with your hiking poles, try lowering your body and using your hands to balance and make a connection. Most hikers want to connect with nature, and find that the poles may seem like a barrier between themselves and the earth. Another option would be to not use the poles for balance when descending. Go ahead and stretch out your arms. Touch the trees, rocks, and dirt for a more natural experience and to strengthen your core balance rather than depending on the poles.
Trekking Poles - Good Sound Advice
Don't compromise on price when buying trek poles by choosing a cheaper style. Your poles should be lightweight, strong, and adjustable. Carbon fiber and aluminum are both really light and work well. If you're going to use them hard with rough terrain, go with aluminum. Carbon offers a little more shock dampening, but can shatter if you smash them around.
Carbide or steel tips are commonly used to provide traction for trek poles even on ice. Rubber tip protectors extend the life of those tips and protect your gear when poles are stowed in your backpack. They are also good for use in sensitive areas to reduce impact to the ground. You can purchase angled rubber walking tips separately for use on asphalt or other hard surfaces.
If you are new to using trekking poles and you find yourself out of rhythm now and then, lift your poles off the ground for a moment so you can reset. Start using the poles again as soon as you're ready. After awhile you will feel completely natural using them and you won't even have to think about your rhythm.
The best rule of thumb is to attach them to your hiking bag on the outside and have them for use if and when needed. They won't add much weight to your cargo and circumstances may warrant their use, so be prepared is smart thinking. Happy hiking!

Britain faces a difficult challenge over the next decade as it slowly adjusts to an economy less dependent on debt-fuelled growth, according to new research by consultancy McKinsey.
An international study found Britain had the highest level of debt after Japan, that the debt had risen over the past three years to more than 500% of national output, and that on current trends it would take until 2020 for UK households to return debt levels to the pre-bubble trend.
"Overall, the United Kingdom needs to steer a difficult course: reduce government deficits and encourage household debt reduction – without limiting GDP growth", the study said.
In a 60-page report comparing major economies since 2008, McKinsey finds that, while the US is making progress in the "great deleveraging", as economists call it, increased borrowing by financial firms pushed up Britain's debt from 487% of GDP in 2008 to 507% by the middle of 2011. In 2003, before the credit binge, it was 300%.
In 2008, it stood at 487% of GDP. "While the largest component of US debt is household borrowing and the largest share of Japanese debt is government debt, the financial sector accounts for the largest share of debt in the UK," it says. "Although UK banks have significantly improved their capital ratios, non-bank financial companies have increased debt issuance since the crisis."
In the US, much of the improvement in households' debt position has come through foreclosures in the housing market, while McKinsey says many lenders in Britain have shown more forebearance with homeowners in negative equity and that this might be disguising the true extent of the mortgage debt problem.
US households have reduced their debt-to-disposable-income ratio by 15 percentage points, more than in any other major country, while UK consumers have increased their borrowing slightly.
The report says this burden could leave the economy vulnerable when interest rates have to rise to more normal levels from their current record low of 0.5%.
Charles Dumas, of consultancy Lombard Street Research, says the main reason the US has made more progress in paying down its debts is its better economic performance. "They've had more growth: they've had a better recovery."
Britain's close proximity to the crisis-hit eurozone would put the brakes on efforts to kickstart the economy over the next 12 months.
McKinsey estimates household debt in the US could reach sustainable levels in "two years or so," while in the UK, the process will take "many more years."
Comparing the UK with Sweden and Finland, which each suffered had a credit-fuelled boom followed by a financial crisis and deep recession in the late-1980s and early-1990s, McKinsey says the UK has a long way to go before it can start to expand strongly again.
Spain, which has suffered a devastating housing boom and bust, is also lagging behind, according to the consultancy, which says it could be a decade before either country gets its debts back to the "pre-bubble trend".
