ReplyDeleteb22,
ReplyDeleteCurious why your so pumped also. I would've liked more follow through yesterday after breaking through the 1188-1190. I'm a bit short today, leaning against 1204, but this rally isn't necessarily over yet. Also, a blog(not mine) some of you might enjoy...And happy(belated) birthday, Karen and Bruce

ReplyDeleteQuit trying to short, McF...
Pfft.
This snapback to 1205 is one of the best spots I've seen to take a short position since 1150. (The 1st time.)
Of course not all trades work out. Thats the way it goes. Doesnt mean you quit. If you believe in an idea you keep swinging at it until the facts change. Have the facts changed?
On a completely different note, RIP to Guru from Gang Starr. A great MC, you were.
@spoon, etc.
ReplyDeletethe reason I'm pumped is because the wave pattern is coming to an end. I was fooled in early January, things are looking more promising now.
More importantly, a "bear" in blog land equals 200% short, which of course is stupid because I'm not making an all in short bet for every bearish comment I make. A "bear" in the real world is just someone that thinks the trend of prices will go down for a time. They can either sit it out and wait for the next buying opp. to go long or they can attempt to speculate on the short side.
We all know the rally can move into the mid 1200's, I don't think I'm saying anything that hasn't been discussed at length on this blog over the last several weeks so I didn't really feel the need to clarify a 2 am post with all of that.
Bottom Line: Make your own trades, don't listen to me.
How come when I said I was buying SPY for some clients a few weeks ago that was so easy for anon land to swallow?
Don't answer,....I already know why.

ReplyDeleteI understand how things can get blown all out of proportion in blog-land -- don't worry, I get the difference. Just curious what you're seeing here. My trade is small, short term, defined risk, all my own doing, etc, etc. Check out that blog I linked, if you haven't already seen it. Planet Yelnick, it's called. Right up your alley.

ReplyDeleteI think it will end up alot like last thursday.
ReplyDeleteLB has a Golf Day booked on Thursday but wishes it was today. MAcro Man has already picked up the meme for the day.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, LB's bounce combo has bounced. Well, the ERX part, anyway.
@lb: Had my first golf day of the season late yesterday. Beautiful late afternoon/twilight round. First 6 holes started very well, considering it was my first time out. Then it started to get a little ugly. Especially the back 9. Probably started rushing a bit. That tends to be my problem. Staying at a measured pace and concentrating for long periods of time. My restless mind won't allow it.
ReplyDeleteItalian Bank Sues Citigroup Over 2007 Total Return Swap Pact
ReplyDelete10:47 AM ET 4/20/10 By Chad Bray
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--An Italian bank and two of its insurance units sued Citigroup Inc. (C) on Tuesday, alleging Citi misrepresented the risk of a fund-linked total return swap in January 2007.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, alleges Citigroup made false and misleading representations that didn't allow Banca Carige SpA (CRG.MI) to access the true risk of the arrangement.

Walking and carrying on a course with big hills Thursday, I know I am going to be feeling it by the time I reach the 510 yard uphill 18th. Slow take-away and not over-swinging are the keys for me.

it will be interesting to see the numbers for building permits for April, May and the summer- could be worse than last summer-
ReplyDeletesince contracts need to be signed by 4/30 to get the home buyer tax credit and no permits issued in April will be able to take advantage of the tax credit- since it takes longer than three months to build a home to fulfill the 6/30 deadline for delivery-
homebuilder's could fall off a cliff-

I am out and about today but hope you all have a fun one.
ReplyDeleteRumours of a Greece arranged "bankruptcy", no idea how that would work - it just sounds like something eurocrats would like so the evil short selling hedgefunds cannot collect on their CDS bets.
GGB bund spread is highest ever, not good for Europe. SPY won't notice I'm sure.
Yes, lb. And I also have issues with the overswining thing, especially on the long par 5's. It gets me into trouble every time. I noticed that swung much easier at the beginning of the round but as the round went on I started swinging it harder and harder. Gotta find a way to stay calm and relaxed with my swing throughout the round. The temptation to try to be he-man out there is just too great out there sometimes but it's amazing how far the ball goes (and with accuracy) when you take a nice, easy, smooth swing. Overall, my putting was fantastic yesterday, which was a bit of a surprise. My chipping stunk, however, after about the 6th hole. That killed me.
ReplyDeleteEURUSD is not confirming this move in SPX... that should raise a red flag.

@Ironworker: OverswinGing...... :-)
ReplyDeleteManny, I try not to have DISTANCE thoughts on par 5s. Just have smooth thoughts, SIDEWAYS distance doesn't help. The chipping - it's all feel and practice.
ReplyDeleteGGB spreads are of interest only to BEARS. Not to JOHNNY.
Exactly, lb. It's also like blocking out water and other course hazards. Almost have to act like they're not even there.
ReplyDeleteBought an ESM0 on Friday; sold it a few minutes ago. Probably the SPX makes a new high soon, but I've got no long positions at this point.
ReplyDelete"homebuilder's could fall off a cliff"
ReplyDeletenah, I heard homebuilder confidence is high.
Our ERX swing trade is up 5%. Noice.
ReplyDeleteManny, if I am looking at the back of the ball I can't see the water. Every time I look up early - I see a bad shot.
"homebuilder confidence is high."
Homebuilders have little to do since they can't build or sell their latest spec homes. So they are hanging with BRIAN and TAWNY and getting high until JOHNNY gets rich in this MARKET.
We're right on the weekly support for the EUR. It put up a good fight last time.
ReplyDeleteMy going indicator for an impending fall has been a cross of the MA20 down through the MA50 on the 4hour chart. It happened last night.

ReplyDelete@karen
ReplyDeleteI'm aware of the math... I forgot to put my [snark] tag on that :-)...
Actually, in all seriousness... If you look at the slope of BELOW 15 days (during the 2008-2009 period), and the return to par, the chart doesn't appear [to me] to be all that unusual (save for the most recent spike which is a little higher than previous spikes)...
LB @ 1:37
ReplyDeleteThat yield is worth keeping an eye on.
Perhaps a yield of 8.3% (or thereabout) will be the trigger for the next correction here.
Would also be nice to see a chart of the price of CDS's over time.
8% on sovereign debt is unsustainable.
ReplyDeleteGreece is toast. Default is coming.
Dollar, yen and gold to rally?
Cramer advising you to buy more C.
ReplyDeleteI smell a TLT rally as well.
ReplyDeleteMannwhich,
ReplyDeleteWell, considering C and a handful of other insolvent companies are roughly half the market, that seems to make sense right.
There is a new form of analysis that is sweeping the nation. What you do is you look at the color of the numbers next to the index you want to trade at the end of the day. Green = Easy, we are going higher, Red = dip buy. Everything else can (should) be ignored.

ReplyDeleteA GREAT blurb over at ZH:
ReplyDelete"Yesterday's disclosure of the 3-2 vote by the SEC to pursue fraud charges against Goldman is just the tip of the iceberg demonstrating how far the tentacles of the Wall Street syndicate reach. Republican SEC commissioners Kathleen Casey and Troy Paredes should immediately resign their posts at the SEC if they are truly unable to spot blatant 10(b)-5 fraud, as opposed to just "expressing" an opinion determined by a few extra Christmas ski trips funded by the Cephalopod Society of America. In which case we understand - at this point the only act that will bring felony charges against American citizens is not being corrupt."
No kidding, ben. Just surreal.
ReplyDeleteMannwich @ 1:56
ReplyDeleteIt's not only a question of whether a law has been violated, but also what damages a court would likely award, and whether the SEC is willing to settle for an amount of money that is commensurate with what they could win in court.
DL,
ReplyDeletewhy are you so convinced it's all about the money that needs to be paid out in the end. Maybe I'm misreading your comments that you left here along those lines as well as at TBP? do you not think perception matters at all on Wall Street. This is not about the size of the fine dude.
McFearless @ 2:02
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole range of issues, and they may be categorized as moral, legal and political. I think that one should look at all three, but at the same time, to consider each individually.
Yeah, I think that many of the employees at GS are sleezebuckets. But that's separate from the legal analysis.
One of the many questions I have here is whether or not GS would be able to drag this thing out until after November of 2012. If so, Obama's going to be forced to settle, if he wants to get any political benefit.
EURUSD and EURJPY really have to crash here. Either the ECB bails out Greece and the European banks with a massive printing effort
ReplyDelete- Euro FALLS,
or Greece defaults and European banks take massive write-downs.
- Euro FALLS.
Best of all, DISORDERLY CARRY UNWIND is likely... and it is close.
LB no longer watches the market, intra-day, unless initiating a position. Once a trade is started, LB already KNOWS the day's playbook, and simply sets stops and ignores the action. Does anyone else experience this?

ReplyDeleteBondgirl on GS (apologies if this was posted already.)
ReplyDeleteThere's very little controversy surrounding the morality of GS's conduct.
ReplyDeleteThe controversy is primarily on the legal side (and to a small extent on the political side).
GS will probably either go private, or be broken up into an investment bank and a trading company.
ReplyDeleteGS will revert to being an old style investment banking partnership, like LAZ used to be. Very quietly, LAZ may end up being one of the winners.
ReplyDeleteProp may end up being a dying industry. Of course it adds nothing, except perhaps efficiency and volume.

The Bond Report 4.20.10
ReplyDeleteSo you thought there was NOTHING interesting to say? Well, you were right - but here it is anyway, a risk-on day, baby, as HY was gobbled up enthusiastically by investors as JNK continued with the most massively predictable range trade of recent months. IG was also fairly strong and so was the long end, the only weakness being at the short end of govies as money flowed out of 2-5y Ts into riskier credits.
Corpies: LQD 0.22%; AGG 0.16%; JNK 1.16%; HYG 1.08%;
Govies: TLT 0.36%; IEI -0.05%; TIP 0.24%
We sat on another unsuccessful hedge for the time being. Greece is a likely culprit for the strength in USTs lately, and EVEN if it isn't anything to do with it, SMARTY, it certainly helped us to wrap up another edition of THE BOND REPORT. Stirred, not shaken.

ReplyDeletei was completely skeptical of the ipad until i had it in my hot little lap.. laughing..
ReplyDeleteben, add up all the money people spend on photo albums and frames and it turns the ipad into pocket change.. besides, it run for free on your wi-fi.. so you can read in bed or surf in bed comfortably.. and it doesnt get HOT like the laptop.
so initially my friends justified it thus.. they had one macbook between them and they always wanted to use it at the same time in the evening.. for $500 problem solved! a LOT less than a another macbook.
I think I might actually like the ipad, but I really have this hang up about no keyboard, I'm not real big on the touch screen.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeletesometimes that hot laptop is nice though, we get snow on this side of the world remember :).
Ben, I honestly thot the product was absurd.. until I used it.. that's all I can say.. My main thot was, why do i need that on top of a macbook and an iphone? Well, I certainly answered that for myself.. I would never touch another page of newsprint if I had that, too. Every page, every pic, is a perfect movie still!
