Reports: Emanuel to quit White House on Friday
As has been speculated for some time now, White House
It's reported that his first act as mayor will be to suspend all "short yellow bus" activities...
"F—ing retarded," Mr. Emanuel scolded the group, according to several participants. He warned them not to alienate lawmakers whose votes would be needed on health care and other top legislative items...
So take that!
What CV? Don't you have any GOOD news to print? Something that will make us happy? Well, What about this?
Federal Reserve 'Will Be Gone' In 25 Years, Top Financial Mind Predicts, Despite Geithner's Vote Of Confidence
Excerpt: "A mere half-hour after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner praised the "necessary" and "very substantial" actions of the Bush and Obama administrations to "break the back of the financial crisis," one of the world's leading financial minds said Thursday that the United States is in the same economic predicament today as it was in 2007, predicting that within 25 years the Federal Reserve "will be gone."
Gone within 25 years? Let's analyze the "published" balance sheet and see if there's anything to this story?
Actually, CV has dug up, specifically for you readers, just EXACTLY what is on the mysterious FED balance sheet...
Ah well what can I say? Perhaps I'll end this thread on the topic of "monkeys"... More specifically, the likelihood that some will come flying out of your butt anytime soon... Now all I need to do is try and handicap the odds of that happening, or that we'll get a correction of the nature indicated on the following chart... Most are betting on the "monkeys" at this point...

I thought some here could appreciate this...I woke up to the sounds of the business report on the radio...announcer said S&P futures down 6 points. Turned on the TV only to see that he had mis-read the script.
A run up at the open to 1148-1150 would fit exactly what I am looking for. I'll let you guess what I think happens after.
Hmmm...

I wasn't too shocked to hear that WMT wasn't packed. I'd imagine if I went to a WMT in Camden NJ it'd look different than the one close to West Chester PA.

it's the e-o-m midnight sales that were remarked upon by the wmt exec (ceo?), i.e., when the debit cards of po' folks on gubmint aid get re-charged.
next e-o-m's are halloween and november in midst of xmas sales so maybe these two won't reflect the phenomenon as clearly.
sorry i didn't make it to the walmart in les affluent area last night. up too late and up too early all this past week.
72, ok, I was wondering if it was only a specific date, either way, I bet it's not every wal mart, probably a more clear trend in harder hit areas, we have a serioulsy screwed up thing going on right now where some places are in full on depression and others seem like they never even really went into a serious recession.
I won't go to WMT on halloween, I stay in on halloween, I hate that holiday.
here's my once a week e-mail from Eaton Vance:
"How about a higher yielding product that also may allow for additional diversification?
Please consider EEIAX, the Emerging Market LOCAL income fund"

one thing you can do on the ground floor in the well-to-do areas to figure out if things are good/bad is to go to a high end consignment shop where the well off are going to bring in all of last years designs or older stuff they just don't want anymore. Around here they have slowed down but not to a stand-still, there is one I visit every time I go up close to Chestnut Hill to see how busy it's been. One of the clerks told me that some of the non-working spouse "allowances" have been cut and they aren't seeing people coming in with a trunk full of high end clothes to dump off there anymore. A lot of rich people do this because it helps them feel better about themselves and there's a little tax break.
what I have noticed of late when I go is that it seems you find more men and women looking there for interview outfits.
but hey, recovery is on in the total conviction environoment
of course it took the same amount of time as always, but I can't believe today is 10/1....this year feels like a flash....

"Price action" as in one minute momentum? As in buying at the peak yesterday? They did well? Or maybe this should be directed at Jim Cramer.
ha! halloween's my fave. sadly, it's become increasingly pablumized and safely secularized. i lobbied our village council to stop moving around the observance date of halloween so that trick-or-treat would coincide with surrounding communities that coordinated to observe it on "safe" nights only, i.e., not on fridays or saturdays. they finally did so, agreeing it was not their place to mess with it anymore than they would set the date to observe christmas, good friday, easter, yom kippur, or rosh hashanah.
believe it's 2nd only to xmas in terms of
retail sales.
this halloween i'll be at a live performance of red priest after having returned from the neil gaimin halloween weekend gathering of american gods" at house on the rock

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Amazon.com fell 1.6% to $154.47 on Friday morning after McAdams Wright Ragen downgraded the stock to a hold rating. Analyst Dan Geiman cited the stock's high valuation as the main reason for the call; Amazon shares had recently crossed his $140 price target. "We're still quite favorable on the company's prospects in the coming quarters, despite near-term headwinds related to marketing-related expenses supporting Kindle and ongoing investments to increase the company's fulfillment capacity, as well as more difficult sales and margin comparisons," Geiman wrote. He raised his price target on the stock to $160.

on that business insider article...
"It's all priced-in they say, and if 'fair value' for the ten-year is at 2.9% yield, then government bond prices are currently too high and we're likely near a peak for government bonds."
Fine... But then if 2.9% is "fair value", that still puts FAIR VALUE in the S&P with an 8 handle...
Karen -- CAT looks like it fell out of bed this morning, but upon closer inspection I think it is still above a trendline touched on 9/17. NFLX, on the otherhand, is toast. New puts soaring. Makes uninsured diamond losss somewhat less painful.

Homebuilder Lennar Corp. (LEN: 15.79 +2.67%) completed a $740 million acquisition of distressed properties. The portfolio includes 306 properties and 397 loans, most of which are nonperforming.
The portfolio, which came from three large financial institutions that were not identified, has a total unpaid principal balance of $529 million and REO properties valued at $211 million. Approximately 65% of the acquired assets are residential and 35% are commercial. Rialto Investments, Lennar's origination subsidiary, is responsible for oversight and day-to-day management of the properties.
http://www.housingwire.com/2010/10/01/lennar-acquires-740-million-in-commercial-and-residential-reo
i suppose the above means that those financial institutions will be adjusting their balance sheet, or off balance sheet, for the above transactions?

@72,
most of the consignments are going to cater toward women mainly because in general they care more about men when it comes to appearance, the one I know of that I mentioned earlier has some greats mens stuff from time to time though. I've gotten some really cool ties there.
care more than men about appearance...
I find the mood around the Social Networking/Facebook movie very interesting, it's getting way more buzz than the new Wall St. movie.
The LQD 1-min chart is something to behold. The first three minutes are brutal.

It is a beautiful day here, but I find myself feeling rather sick to my stomach. Some guy from the Conference Board in NY was on the noon business hour spouting off on how we hadn't done enough stimulus, but there wouldn't be a double dip...meanwhile I'd just like for us to take our medicine and get it over with so I can find out what things are like on the other side. I find that I personally have a very active (and negative) imagination, so I'm not so secretly hoping that it might not be as bad as I fear, and can we just go ahead and get it over with already while I still have some money left? Love how the SEC has completely punted the flash crash too. The problem with abandoning the rule of law is that when the government stops following the law the people do too.
The LQD print shows up on the daily chart at stockcharts.com, but not the 1 or 5 min ones. I see conspiracies everywhere.
Off to help at a school function...a red close would be just fine. Don't let NFLX bounce, I'm holding puts over the weekend.

I am confused. The kind folks on CNBC said it was a fat finger back in May. They said the 'algo' excuse was nonsense. Now here we are nearly 5 months later and the SEC says it was 'algos'? I thought CNBC were the authority on financial news? Jeeez louise.
they're the guy, behind the guy, behind the guy...
have i mentioned that i hate this market yet today?
I assume we get another rally on Monday.
Anyone wanna take the other side of that?

You must have done a poll to figure out how many votes you'd get to bail out Harrisburg to come to that conclusion...

The guy really did make a stupid ass trade, but well after the action started.
I heard he tried to sell 75k minis... yes, thats 75,000 contracts...
That kind of boneheaded move would crash the market on a good day, let alone when the shit's on the way to crazy town, aboard the No Bid Express.
I remember posting about this the day after the flash crash, and saying that it was a "I'm shitting my pants" reactionary trade.
Those always work out, right???
(And this guy manages a huge mutual fund??? Why am I not surprised?)
Do garden-variety mutual fund managers normally buy and sell allotments of 75K E-mini contracts?
Not "trade", hedge gone bad. Real bad...
My guess is he meant 750... or maybe 7500, as a hedge, but even that at the low is stupid.

Gold seems to be saying all other talk is BS. The 10yr & 30yr are saying listen to gold (and golds cousin silver). Will the MSM ever rebel and call out the government? I have a feeling October will wipe out all gains for the year pushing the SPX under 1000 (minimum).
Tho I feel one coming on: U.S. stocks strengthen; Citigroup gains 5%
2:42 PM ET 10/1/10 | SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks found some footing in afternoon trading Friday, with all three major indexes trading higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 56 points, or 0.5%, to 10,844. The blue-chip average had dipped into the red briefly as investors fretted over weak components in the Institute for Supply Management's September index on manufacturing. The S&P 500 rose 6 points, or 0.5%, to 1,147. The Nasdaq Composite rose 3 points, or 0.1%, to 2,372. Energy and financial sectors led the S&P 500, with Citigroup up nearly 5%.
HaHa! zerohedge says -
Here is the truth: The primary cause for the flash crash is the SEC
you know why airline stocks are strong today? cuz crude is nearing $82 barrel.. makes sense I know.. they used to move in opposite directions.
@DL (2:35)
I don't want to go balls out and take the opposite of that...
But I really feel the equities are running into resistance at this juncture...
Any move higher (spurred on by the typical late Friday crap that we've seen all summer - and into Monday Morning futures), would probably surprise NOBODY... Especially since it's the 2nd day of 401k money used to bid prices up...
Although theoretically, today is DAY 1 of that, and typically they chase the high beta (so why are NFLX, AMZN, etc. down)?
Were the "allocations" switched to increase COMMODITY exposure? Hmmm... Could mean a "top" in those is coming soon...
Anyway - Even if we're up on Monday, I don't see it pushing much past the Thursday high (if it even gets there at all)...
It just doesn't seem like there's room to move without a meaningful correction...
And similarly to ending the last Q by keeping bids under prices, on the other side of the fence, nobody probably wants to start the new quarter behind the 8 ball...
In football terms... You don't want the other team running the 2nd half kickoff back for a touchdown on your ass...

LB is almost recovered from a week in bed.
We are out of LQD, by the way... that flash crash was not caused by me selling, however.
Something big is on the way... CB interventions in FX and gold seem to me to be possibilities. A bond break at the front end is not impossible, if we get a decent jobs number. I would be sleeping badly if I owned JPY, GLD or TLT. Or LQD, LOL...!!!
Mulling some trades, probably short the long end this weekend. By the middle of next week I will take up some more strong dollar trades (shorting gold, yen, crude perhaps). I can see commodities being hit hard fairly soon. Equities may be mixed, and bonds may be killed.
This analysis is predicated on a BTE jobs number, which might be politically expedient. The thing is we will get one, eventually..

I thought the hair looked a little white for rahm
jared bernstein....isn't he a member of the shared prosperity initiative.
They're all liars.
And corporate whores.
I could keep going... but yall know.
The pool closed yesterday... summer is over.
Time to take up knitting I guess.

K.,
It wasn't as much fun as it sounds.
Agreed - a good jobs number means no QE, kills miners, energy, and gold. But a good jobs number would be good for the banks and retail.
It would be a sell the rally/buy the dips event if it happened. One day something like this is going to happen....
"...almost recovered from a week in bed."
No innuendo? You must really have been sick...
The twins were in bed with him, all good, Spoon.
hilarious.. will the fun never end?

I needed a foto with those guys & rahm in it but couldn't find one... So I figured Bernstein would fool everyone with the white hair if I "x"'ed out the face...
CV also did the MOON LANDING... :-)
Real butt-reamer for the DXY today.
See support a little bit below here. I'm going 20% long of a Max position here at the equivalent of 78.09.
I'm out again this weekend but will have some technical charts and post on Sunday night.
So glad I got home in time to see a triangle.
Am I the only one who caught the news vis a vis the last job stim project expired earlier this week...and that there'll be at least 250k more NGO types in the soup lines next week?
he doesn't have a beard, that's usually what I look for.
@Andy T
Your TEXANS may be Andre Johnson-less vs. Oakland on Sunday...
more balls for jacoby jones
ravens have a big game this weekend, so does PSU, and it should be fun watching McNabb against the birds
@Mel
"that there'll be at least 250k more NGO types in the soup lines next week"...
That's OK... The BLS will come in, and hand them all signs in the soup line that say
"WILL WORK FOR FOOD"
and count them as employed...
Andy's right. It's all about DXY. Everything else is leveraged against it.
I give it a couple more days of DGDF before we turn. ADP may be the "pre-release" for Friday's jobs number.
yep yep....gotta see the dollar move, no doubt guys
@McF
Owen Daniels is banged up too...
But the trouble with that is (if you're Jacoby Jones), is that Nnamdi Asomugha moves over to cover you...
Jones would probably be targeted more if Johnson was drawing coverage by NA...
I made 4 gals of beet borsch the other day...maybe I can help them out...ROR
@LB
Can you explain the jump in EURIBOR today?
he's good CV, but I think they'll run well against my boys so things can open up down field. there are lots of good games this week....florida alabama too.
@Mel
the way this country handles that is to give people vouchers for McDonalds, and then Bernanke & Brian Sack frontrun MCD stock...
i'm still not going to start jones though
Got short ESZ0 @ 1145 today. Plan to hang on for a few days, even though it'll probably go red on Monday.
Arian Foster is the guy who is likely to put up the best numbers in that game...
probably showing my age a bit here but I'm still going to have to point out that dudes last name is Sack.
some many things we could come up with there.
Huh Huh Huh... you said "Sack"
@McF
You have a pretty good line-up going...
Bradshaw may have a little difficulty against the Chicago run D... But you don't have many other options...
- Donald Brown wasn't practicing this week
- Garcon is out
- Turner is in front of Snelling
Have a good weekend everyone! Thanks for holding NFLX down for me...theta be damned. I see a pumpkin farm in my near future. The best part is the pumpkin catapult...not much better than the splat from a giant pumpkin being launched out into a harvested corn field...ahh, the midwest. How did I wind up here? Maybe I can write Lloyd's name on the pumpkin before the launch.
@Jennifer
Just don't let it do one of those watermelon jobs on you like it did to the girl in the video a few weeks ago...
yep, I'd like to see roddy white have a solid week, and it would be good for dustin keller to score
Have a good weekend I-veryone, get some rest and relaxation.
Yardwork fi I and I...
"Can you explain the jump in EURIBOR today?"
There are any number of European banks that might be rumored to be distressed, on any given day, with very good reason. Apart from the Irish situations which are now government problems, there are all the Spanish banks, any one of which might be at death's door. If at some point it is no longer "contained" then there will be "contagion".
Something to keep half an eye on...
LB is now short the long bond.
There are no POMOs and no auctions of the long duration bonds in the week directly ahead of us. So we might actually have, you know, a market... just for a while. Long bonds are now both technically and fundamentally extremely vulnerable to any kind of good economic news.
at least they were following their passion:

Now, who are we to believe, the SEC or the CME:
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8ee1a816-cd81-11df-9c82-00144feab49a.html
"The [SEC] report said the starting point of the flash crash was the sale of 75,000 so-called e-Mini futures contracts on the S&P 500 stock index, worth $4.1bn, which a large institutional investor placed via an automated trading system."
The CME claims: "The 75,000 contracts represented 1.3% of the total E-Mini volume of 5.7 million contracts on May 6 and less than 9% of the volume during the time period in which the orders were executed. The prevailing market sentiment was evident well before these orders were placed, and the orders, as well as the manner in which they were entered, were both legitimate and consistent with market practices. "
The Bond Reportzzzzzzz 10.01.10
It wasn't a very interesting day.
Corpiez: ZZZ z.zz%; ZZZ 0.24%; JNK 0.20%; HYG 0.15%;
Goviez: ZZZ 0.68%; ZZZ 0.20%; TIP 0.70%
Hedgiez: ZZZ zzzzz%
We are long JNK, HYG and short the long bond. We are fearful for the P/L of recent fixed income inwestors. Too much complacency in bond land regarding the inevitability of QE2, deflation and anything bond-friendly.
Await future opportunities and sit on your wonga, is our advice.
Risk is high.
Stakes is High
