Morning Corner 7.21.11

EURCHF (weekly info)
new low 1.1477
trend=down
low= 1.1477
rev= 1.2126; mid= 1.1802


Appears the EURCHF is trying to form a bullish harami for the week. Why? Risk is not off the table for the EU just yet. It's below all SMA's. It tested and held its 0.0% retrace (so far). The MACD is starting to move higher. The Williams %R is rebounding from an oversold condition.



AUDJPY (weekly info)
-no change (below mid)
trend=up
high= 0.8852
rev= 0.8241; mid= 0.8553


The AUDJPY is also forming a bullish harami. But it's in a trading range and not in a downtrend. It wants to hold the lower trend line. If commodities become the safe haven again then this cross is headed higher.

You know those who dismiss Ayn Rand out of hand may have the wrong ideas. Reardon Metal doesn't have to be Boeing, or Intel. Taking what you put into social security and medicare amounts to the same thing, even if you don't visualize bricks and mortar with it.

Think of it as the Oracle that offers one possible view of the future, not as a iconoclastic novel.

And small business has already felt the government interference Rand discribed. Steve Wynn said it pretty well just a couple of days ago.

I think we all should know whether our candidates for the house, the senate and the presidency next year can produce fact-based answers to these questions. After all they will be the ones that either prevent or precipitate the next big crisis. If you elect people who live in lalaland how can they govern in the US.


---ror---

That's it right there... These numbnuts who think the beginning & end to every problem is 'electing the right people to govern us' (more specifically - in his case - the proper branch of the left wing to govern us)...

Here dedude... CV is an easier professor than TWSWB... I'll just give you a simple multiple choice test...

Question: I am a:

a) idiot
b) dolt
c) nimrod
d) all of the above

cv said...

I'll give you the same 3 hours to contemplate your response...

Here's a quiz for TWSWB...

I got involved with some PEP calls today

tiny trade.....

is the cup and handle going to play in CSII or what? stay tuned

cv said...

@qqqq

out of the BAC calls yet?

QQQQ said...

B22, seems to be alot of cups or cup-n-handles lately. good luck on the PEP trade, it's kinda like my opposite HOG put trade, and I'm down a bit on that one :(

QQQQ said...

cv, not yet :)

it's only 100 contracts @ .04-.05, so I'll let it ride for a while, besides, BAC is gonna turn around and be the best bank ever!

mcHAPPY said...

Ben/Andy,

Neely's count is looking pretty good right now.

Of course, Andy's expanding triangle is as well.

A move in to the 1350's would have me taking some SHORT positions very quick.

QQQQ said...

cv more on BAC, I can see it going to 10.50 - 10.80 to possibly fill those gaps, if/then I'll see how strong this move is.

Also, (minor 18.5)$9.00 + (micro 18)1.80 = $10.80(my lunatic 18's target)

what does your gut say?

cv said...

Oh I'm pretty sure it'll find its way to $11...

But you're playing the Sept calls right??? So I'm not following the gamma/delta on that...

ben22 said...

McHappy,

the neutral triangle is ok I guess

I still prefer the expanding interpretation and a test of the highs or slightly higher highs than what we've seen so far this year.

a neutral triangle would make more sense to me if the cumulative A/D line had already peaked, because at conclusion of the neutral Neely has a big down wave drawn, the a/d line hit new highs though last week and the leadership stocks are still in-tact. I'd be more inclined to sell 1370 than I am 1350.

QQQQ said...

cv, yeh, BAC Sep 17 '11 $12 Call

this stock doesn't make big moves so I bot some time. And, I don't know about all this crap... I just use trends, support/resistance and gut feelings.

i really haven't seen Neelys latest count. i only get the once a week update.

I'm feeling like my last week's update was sort of money on the S&P....

Andy T said...

What Inflation?

I can still buy 2 Tacos at Jack in the Box for 99c.

WTF. been the same prices for many years now...

How do they do that?

QQQQ said...

@AT, is that real meat in those tacos? Have you tracked the price of dogchow for the last few years, then you may have your answer... hehe Also, many buy a soda to wash the tacos down, drive-thru soda's are prolly up 50% in a few years.

"I'm feeling like my last week's update was sort of money on the S&P"

That's because it was.

As for the inflation cries, I had hard core right wing radio on for the drive in today, they were repeating over and over

"inflation is here, have you been to the gas pump lately!!!!!"

I can only assume the person saying this hasn't been to the pump since 08, or is bad with math, or both.

B22, lol, you got in at the right time, hope you got out with your wallet filled.

Updated gold-crude-silver chart... easier to read now

Q's

I only made a little on it, I'm out now, think it's going down to the 34 ema

but my european carry all is mostly full of plastic anyway, so I'm all set, like the beard:

“I’ve got a driver’s license, my American Express card, a debit card, a Jos. [A.] Bank card where I get my suits, I have a health insurance card. And then I have a variety of other cards, phone numbers, United Airlines, frequent flyer. And I have $45…$75…$85. I’m all set.”

SODA

hahaha! No kidding.

I spend about 3 bucks a week on mineral water. At that rate...it'll take over a year to pay the soda stream off...at which point it'll no longer work.

In a year, you'll be able to pick one up at a yard sale for pennies on the dollar...along with the fondue set, the crock pot , the bread maker, the George Foreman grill, the panini press and all the other crap people are in such a big hurry to buy...but never use.

For further examples...check out your town dump.

The only thing that matters to the CB's & TBTF is that gold is back under $1600 and silver is under $40. But the 10yr yield is back over 3.00%, the 30yr over 4.30% and the 2s30s Spread is back to 3.91 spoiling some of the fun. The fun.
