You get the feeling something bad is brewing for the bears as BAC closed under $5.00?

AR, If it's ok, I've got an S&P500 update to run tomorrow am.

Futures are trying to put on an impressive show but on low volume (as usual).

With all of the talk about the "Santa Claus Rally" I thought it would be appropriate.

Stark and Draghi on the haters

Jürgen Stark told Germany’s WirtschaftsWoche magazine what had already been guessed at — he decided to step down from the ECB not because of “personal reasons”, but because he didn’t like the bond-buying programme.

Thanks Ra, and funny santa!

BAC... woohoo! not much more to go on its way to $0.99. (POS stock)

AT, ya say SPX not bearish, been feeling the same... why I'm probably not in any trades for a few days now.

NAZ still needs to fill in a gap below, maybe a visit to 2450, SPX may follow to 1160, just a guess.

Noticed BWLD bucking the trend, close to breakout. territory.

Bureau Of Labor Statistics Caught Red Handed Leaking Confidential Employment Data

Basically states get the BLS info early but aren't supposed to discuss it until the official release. Yeah right.

BWLD pretty close to its all time high. The monthly 3LB is trending up and the weekly 3LB direction is down (but the price is above the weekly 3LB mid).

AmenRa said...

House moved the payroll tax cut to tomorrow. Why? Probably because checks didn't clear on time.

re: BWLD

I will say that their "Table-gating" ad-Campaign is pretty funny/sharp/insightful..
