Comment of the month.... !!

Sugar + Root Canal...

How appropriate...

Also, how odd that the 'REVERSAL' on the VIX 3lb is in the low 17's...

Remember what I'd posted earlier in the week about when the VIX has hit 16 in the past 3 years (10/07, and 5/08)...

We're getting close... One real bullish day might do it...

@ANDY T

I know it's midweek and you might be short on time...

BUUUUUT..............

If you're interested in tossing up a Scribd chart (or your thoughts on some wave count conclusions) here, feel free...

Please, do me a favor and keep it on this thread... Insert it at the end of AMEN RA's DAILY CANDLE WRAP... Or even "on top" of it for that matter...

Thanks! (that's if you have the time)...

I'll be back in a couple of hours...

With a lower weekly close on the VIX the reversal will be 18.13. Silent but deadly.

Leftback said...

I can never remember more Bear apathy or depression, which is not to say that it can't continue and get worse...

Leftback said...

A job for LB or Tyler? We clearly have the sense of humor required.

I learned something this weekend. If you are talked into joining Facebook past a certain age, DON'T whatever you do look at the gorgeous girls in your high school class.

Some of my old hotties are bigger than our starting left tackle.

LOL Bruce.

The only reasons for bears to be bitter is if you are in a bad position. If you are bear then you obviously know the reasons behind it - ZIRP, MBS, FASB. THe higher this goes, the better - if you are not in a bad position.

so . . .uh . . .what did I miss- lol

health care- what a market mover!

and may I add- this cyclical bull has some serious testicles-

those things are smacking all over the place

Mannwich said...

Here's a Bloomie headline for you. Now how exactly is this surprising to anyone?

Wall Street Despised in Poll Showing Majority Want Regulation

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a4nQoiYaj2ag&pos=1

Anonymous said...

manny-

starting to think there is a delayed reaction to everything-

and then it all kicks in and the populace starts raging-

the midterms may be brutal for Democrats- but if Obama plays his cards right-

he may come out smelling like a rose

Mannwich said...

Perhaps ahab, but I get the sense that the GOP overplayed its hand a bit by trying to stymie health care leglislition (and now trying to block financial regulation, as most of the public now perceives them to be merely obstructing the president purely for political gain above the well being of the country. Perception is everything and the political winds change quickly. I smell a potential backlash brewing against them as well. It could motivate previously apathetic liberals to come out and vote AGAINST the GOP out of protest. Of course, A LOT can happen until the elections, but right now the perception could well be that Obama has finally gotten something significant done, even if the bill may be HIGHLY flawed (and maybe very bad) in reality.

manny-

to make sure you are following me-

midterms- the rage is against Wall Street and bankers- the voters vent-

2012- Obama rolls for a 2nd term-

health care not the issue

CV said...

@ahab (9:21)

Well we know one thing for sure... he's got PEGGY JOSEPHS vote...

Because, in her words, she won't worry about having to pay for her gas or mortgage ever again now that Obama has been elected...

Mannwich said...

Gotcha ahab. I agree.

CV-

funny stuff-

and then we have this-

"California Extends Homebuyer Tax Credit" - Calculated Risk

"Anyone qualified who makes a purchase between this May and August 2011 will receive a credit for 5 percent of the home's purchase price, up to $10,000 over three years."

so . . .it appears that California is flush w/ $$$-

maybe they know something we don't- like Federal infusion of cash???

CV said...

@ahab

"so . . .it appears that California is flush w/ $$$-"

---

The VERY DEFINITION of "flush"... usually depends on which side of midnight you're talking about...

Curious indeed considering that CA is insolvent. I mean they were using IOU's to pay bills and refunds. What are they going to use this time? IOUx10e2?

Anonymous said...

true, true CV-

one must wonder where the money is coming from for this giveaway though- from a bankrupt State no less

Anonymous said...

Ra-

my question exactly-

but maybe the $$$$ funnel is soon to be directed their way-

and us mere plebeians are unaware

CV said...

@Amen

"double secret IOU's"

CV said...

@ahab

I'd suspect they're planning to mount 'PAULSON'S BAZOOKA', onto 'BERNANKE'S CHOPPER'...

That ought'a do the trick!

Until, of course that they get to their Roy Scheider moment in Jaws (we're gonna need a bigger boat)...

But, of course that's only conjecture on CV's part... I used to be smart, now I just hoe earth...

AmenRa said...

Honestly I'm waiting for the "surprise" announcement from the Fed on how they plan to continue QE ∞.

CV said...

@Amen

GREAT 'infinity' icon...

I'm gonna have to save that... Never know when it might come in handy!

What did Einstein say about perception reaching light speed velocity?

AmenRa said...

CV

Even better: A Surprise Fed Announcement

CV said...

@Amen

You'd better keep that handy...

I think YELLEN said today that they'd not likely hike rates until 2013...

But I'm not sure if I'm reading headlines on an "event horizon" these days or not (so I can't be counted on)...

CV said...

There are so many 'green shoots' in the economy, they needn't hike rates until 2013...

That's comforting!

AmenRa said...

Let's see. There's a holiday on 4/2/10 and the Employment Situation is released that day. So between the release and Sunday evening the Fed has plenty of time to pull a fast one.
