ReplyDeleteComment of the month.... !!
Sugar + Root Canal...
ReplyDeleteHow 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
ReplyDeleteI 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...

ReplyDeleteWith a lower weekly close on the VIX the reversal will be 18.13. Silent but deadly.
I can never remember more Bear apathy or depression, which is not to say that it can't continue and get worse...
ReplyDeleteA 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.

ReplyDeleteFrom the Bond Trading position description:
"Interact with sell-side to stay current on market trends..."
BWAHAHAHAHA...
Now thats funny!
I-Man
ReplyDeleteEverything's is bullish!! Buy all dips!! Ignore the fundamentals and just keep buying!!
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.
ReplyDeleteso . . .uh . . .what did I miss- lol
ReplyDeletehealth care- what a market mover!
and may I add- this cyclical bull has some serious testicles-
ReplyDeletethose things are smacking all over the place
Here's a Bloomie headline for you. Now how exactly is this surprising to anyone?
ReplyDeleteWall Street Despised in Poll Showing Majority Want Regulation

manny-
ReplyDeletestarting 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
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.
ReplyDeletemanny-
ReplyDeleteto 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
@ahab (9:21)
ReplyDeleteWell 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...
Gotcha ahab. I agree.
ReplyDeleteCV-
ReplyDeletefunny 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/ $$$-
maybe they know something we don't- like Federal infusion of cash???
@ahab
ReplyDelete"so . . .it appears that California is flush w/ $$$-"

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

ReplyDeleteCurious 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?
true, true CV-
ReplyDeleteone must wonder where the money is coming from for this giveaway though- from a bankrupt State no less
Ra-
ReplyDeletemy question exactly-
but maybe the $$$$ funnel is soon to be directed their way-
and us mere plebeians are unaware
@Amen
ReplyDelete"double secret IOU's"
@ahab
ReplyDeleteI'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...
Honestly I'm waiting for the "surprise" announcement from the Fed on how they plan to continue QE ∞.
ReplyDelete@Amen
ReplyDeleteGREAT '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?

ReplyDeleteEven better: A Surprise Fed Announcement
@Amen
ReplyDeleteYou'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)...
There are so many 'green shoots' in the economy, they needn't hike rates until 2013...
ReplyDeleteThat's comforting!
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.
