WORLD WIDE PREMIERE JULY 1, 2011

ror!

It's sure to be... wait for it... wait for it...

"The MOST IMPORTANT QE of ALL TIME"

(nudging out tomorrow's NFP number by a nose at the wire)

AmenRa said...

New phrase "Sell in May and...too late n/m".

cv said...

"You want delivery! You can't handle the delivery!"

From what I hear... AMPEX will still TAKE DELIVERY at $45 ($9 over spot) of Eagles...

Guess they 'feel the need' to stock up for some (post July 1) time in the future...

I guess granny and her tea set hasn't gotten the memo this week because "THE VOICE" is all the rage over "AMERICAN IDOL"...

cv said...

That sound you hear in the background is Mortimer Duke screaming... "Turn those machines back on and SELL! SELL! SELL!"... :-)

wunsacon said...

When do those "circuit breakers" kick in, to prevent flash crashes of glod and sliver??

ben22 said...

@Ra,

Take a look at the weekly candles on SLV, would you call that an evening star or something else, the general pattern matches but the white body on the left could have been bigger. What do you think?

AmenRa said...

ben22

That is the evening doji star which is more bearish than the evening star. The third day/week should close well into the body of the first day. Check. Not only that it took out the previous six weekly highs. Ouch.

AmenRa said...

ben22

Silver OTOH is an evening star. The first week doesn't seem that big but it's relatively larger than the ones preceding it.

AmenRa said...

Gold weekly is a bearish engulfing and is trading below its weekly 3LB reversal price.

Since WTI weekly didn't open higher the only name I can come up with is Armageddon.

Been working to much to join in the fun. Said a few days ago 18's started to roll over.
Minor 18's playing out well. Hung around 1368 for a few hours then the downturn began. Said watch 1359, didn't hold, down to 1350 for support. Didn't hold overnight, down to 1332 for a bounce. I now see a H&S... 1350-1368-1350. We may just see 1314 (gap fill), 1296 excellent support, if, we get there but very much doubt it. Some buyers at 1332, for now.

Bwahahahahah.

That's the beauty of commodities...it's for the non-snivelling crowd. If the S&P 500 dropped 30% in a Week, we'd have all sorts of Congressional Investigations..."that's not supposed to happen."

Though, I'm not sure if if I've ever seen a 30% drop this quickly in a commodity (Silver). It's amazing.

Andy T said...

qqqq:

Thanks for the graph you sent me. Will work to incorporate it into a thread this weekend.

qqqqtrader said...

wow, when I thought oil was going to go down I didn't think... whoosh... the bottom drops out! On target to fill the gap 10 bucks below?

qqqqtrader said...

AT, I have some time now if you would like something else in it. 52 hours in 3 1/2 days, means 3 1/2 days off :)

Andy T said...

52 hours in 3.5 days! Whoa.

Andy T said...

In re: commodities. I suppose the 78% drop in Oil prices in the span of 22 weeks was the most violent thing ever witnessed. And, if you look at that decline, there was NO bounce. There really was no rally to sell.

That's the beauty of PAPER commodities... it's for the non-STANDING FOR DELIVERY crowd

There... fixed it! :-)

cv said...

I'm guessing that the Chi-Coms over there are vomiting up their noodle bowls and thinking of ways to get BACK INTO Federal Reserve Notes, and out of silver and gold bars before it's too late...

@CV 8:26, that's interesting

It's granny and her damn tea set I tell ya!

Obama!!! Order some black helicopters and navy SEAL teams to go get grannys teas set will you dammit!!

There have only been 5 days where commodities collapsed significantly more than today; 3 days in 2008 and 2 days in 2009:


- 19 March 2008 - Right before Bear Stearns collapsed -->Commodities down 6.68%

- 29 September 2008 – 14 days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers & 19 days after Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac were nationalized - down 9.27%

- 20 November 2008 – down 6.75%

- 7 January 2009 - JP Morgan receives additional Federal assistance to rebalance commodity funds - down 6.99%

- 17 February 2009 - a month before QE1 was enacted – Commodity prices return to 2002 levels – down 6.68%

- 5 May 2011 - down 8.19%

CV,

Between 2003 and 2006, there weren't many of those.

wunsacon said...

Did you guys see Denninger's analysis of the birth certificate? I used to think birthers were nuts. Less so, now.

wunsacon said...

>> .it's for the non-snivelling crowd

I turned on NPR on the drive home and heard Mary Schapiro speaking in soothing tones about regulations implemented to inhibit flash crashes. Yeah! So, now we just go down "limit down" a few days at a time...and re-open the exchanges in a month! ;-) I'm looking forward to it.

AmenRa said...

What's wrong with this picture: gold is higher, oil is higher but silver is lower in the after hours.

Andy T said...

"That's the beauty of PAPER commodities... it's for the non-STANDING FOR DELIVERY crowd"

CV. For the record, the reason "commodities" trading works in a futures markets is THE convergence towards DELIVERY.

If you OWN a commodity on the the CME/NYMEX and you WANT to take delivery, you WILL take delivery on Expiration.

That's the beauty of that system.

And vice-versa. Everyone MUST honor the contract.

In re: all the paper ETFs....don't know about those....don't play in those...

But, the FUTURES markets DO work.


AMPEX can take deliver of a bunch of May Silver at $35 bucks if they want to....

Andy T said...

So, I don't understand why they would have taken delivery at $45 bucks as you mentioned earlier.
