1063 on the futures tomorrow (as of now)...
I'm telling you...
1056/7 and we bounce...
I'll take a throw over to 1050... But first stop ought to be the .009 to 1056/7
as of right now, i'm feeling pretty "salty" on that early week trading call from last night. Those were the right trades to start the week....
If you bought the DX dip and sold the ES rally, it's probably time to start 'tightening' up the stops. For instance, the DXY should really keep on ripping overnight. Trading back below 83.09 would be a disappointment for bulls.
Similarly, trading above 1080 now on the S&P futures would be a buzz kill for new shorts.
Doh!

Guest Post: How Hyperinflation Will Happen
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/23/2010 10:56 -0500
Ben Bernanke CPI CRAP Exchange Traded Fund Fail Federal Reserve Government Stimulus Gross Domestic Product Guest Post Hyperinflation Japan Main Street Nationalization New Normal Purchasing Power Quantitative Easing Real estate recovery Smart Money Sovereign Debt Too Big To Fail Unemployment
Yields are low, unemployment up, CPI numbers are down—in short, everything screams "deflation". Nevertheless, the next leg down in the Global Depression will be a hyperinflation. Here's why it will happen, how it will happen, and what to do about it. - Gonzalo Lira

Housing Slide in U.S. Threatens to Drag Economy Into Recession
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-23/housing-slide-in-u-s-may-drag-economy-into-recession-as-foreclosures-rise.html
THE ECONOMY has been a busy bee today...
- In the morning stocks were up on THE ECONOMY
- Then sold off on worries about THE ECONOMY
- Bonds (as LB pointed out) rallied on THE ECONOMY
Now... THE ECONOMY is being mercilessly dragged down by a housing slide...
That's damn ECONOMY needs a breather... C'Mon Man!

"The Deadly Grip of Debt - Gretchen Morgenson, NYT
It's one of the toughest lessons an investor has to learn: While the value of assets can plummet posthaste, it takes forever to shrink the debt that was used to buy them."
...I am not a big fan of Gretchen M. However there is truth in the headline, and something most don't consider until it happens to them...it takes a very long time to shovel out from under big debt. Personally or as a nation...
Why are US futures taking their time to reflect the damage going on overseas?

Dolce & Gabbana- never heard of it- ever

"While the value of assets can plummet posthaste, it takes forever to shrink the debt that was used to buy them."
excellently put
Ahab:
I have noticed over the last two weeks a considerable dimunition in the rah, rah! attitude of the usual economic outlets. CnBC, Cnn, Msnbc, many others are looking at this in a more realistic manner tonight. Of course those of us that are chronic sourpusses, we have been looking at this as still massive debt that as Hussman said today, must be reconciled.
..I think not just the little guy pulls out in the next few weeks...
'Night...
Visions of BMW's danced in their heads....
@Amen
I dunno...
But NIkkei 225 taking out it's June/July lows can't be a good sign...

Obama Aides Review $30 Billion in Technology Contracts
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-23/obama-administration-targets-30-billion-in-technology-projects-for-cuts.html
Before leaving office last month, former White House budget director Peter Orszag ordered a review of the $80 billion the government spends annually on technology to determine whether lax oversight has led to cost overruns, delays and the implementation of obsolete systems.
“We need to end a culture in Washington where we continue to throw good money after bad money,” Vivek Kundra, President Barack Obama’s chief information officer, said on a conference call today with reporters. “If these projects can’t be turned around, if they don’t add value, we will take the appropriate actions. They may be discontinued.”

LAX oversight?... Say it isn't so...
Damn... That's the 2nd thing to come along today to ruin the lobster dinner at Martha's Vineyard...
Asian Stocks Fall on Growth Concern; Nikkei Enters Bear Market
Asia Stocks Set to Rally as Inflation Peaks, Credit Suisse Says
Question to Bloomberg: Well which one is it?
Hey.. I'm all missing the fun.. till now. CV.. enjoyed the Stella link.. gotta love a man of his word.. so rare, so rare.
Nikkei off its lows. Abracadabra. The magician never reveals his secrets. Why is it back up? I have no freakin' clue.
well, pork bellies are getting slaughtered.
>> Nikkei off its lows.
Sore wa anata, Maria Bartiromo?
>> Before leaving office last month, ... Peter Orszag ordered a review ...
Sigh...Why not stick around to actually follow through?? What's the new blood going to do besides "study the problem" for the first 2 years once he/she takes the reins?
F*** term limits. We need mandatory sentencing! "So, you took this government job... How long ago? Now you want to quit and head for the revolving door?? Get your ass back in there!"
Looks like someone found the magicians book of secrets...
Amen, assuming Google Translate worked correctly, I was asking you in Japanese whether you're Maria Bartiromo. Why? Because you were talking about the Nikkei and because Maria appears on CNBC, where* permabulls often go to great lengths on down days to point out that the market is "off its lows". (* Or so I've heard.)
Hey CV, sorry you took offense to a quote from "Sulu" on the other thread. That was me. It was a joke that seemed appropo. Sorry for ass-uming everyone recognizes Trek quotes.

Grads taking law schools to task for poor job market
"Georgetown Law student Roger Gordon, who says he has racked up $175,000 in loan debt, wants more than that. In June, he petitioned the Supreme Court to decide whether people who take the bar exam even need three years of law school. "If you count on law schools to do the right thing, you're going to be waiting a long time," he says."
...Or, by association, you can sit on the supreme court without ever having been a judge...
EWI on their 3 of 3 of 1 of 3 count going into today, it's make or break for this count, so futures appear to be in line, but it's way too early and there is "news" today.
