TRADERS ANONYMOUS: Morning Audibles

Morning Audibles

The minis traded all the way down to support overnight and are in the process of getting kick saved by the Benny money printing machine... (e-mini chart courtesy Daneric)...

I've got to be out most of the morning, so I apologize I can't entertain you today with stories about tractor pulls, NASCAR, & whittlin' (all tied into capital markets - of course)...

So I'll just offer you up a plate of SPAM and be done with you...You all know what SPAM is right? If not, you will soon... It's what grandma will serve you up AFTER she's run out of catfood... Good Luck trading!

Written by Jamie Coleman
November 12, 2010 at 14:11 GMT
Traders report that Asian central banks were very aggressive buyer of EUR/USD below the 1.3600 level. That seems to have caught the market short and we are now dealing with the nasty aftermath. The bounce has given traders still saddled with longs a chance to get out of those longs at less-horrendous levels. Expect the 1.3765 level to be a spot where some of those longs are let-go. More sellers are expected above 1.3800, traders say.; November 12, 2010 at 9:28 AM
Bruce in Tennessee said...: Karen,

About to pile us all into the gas guzzler (yes, I have one of those too) and spend the day away from everyone.

The Grantham video...one point I would like to see fleshed out..he opined that the US has lost more money with ZIRP because of the lack of money made and spent by those who realistically cannot take chances with their money, eg retirement, than has been "stimulated" by Ben B into riskier investments...

Have you seen any real figures about this?

I-Man said...: Morning Steen:

"How ironic it is that we overcome suffering by embracing and facing it, ferreting it out and repeating it so often that its voice is stilled! It is as if our worst fears and memories are crying out, “Smother me or suffer”: immerse yourself in me, rework me, or be dominated by me. The markets pose us with obstacles—and even suffering—on a regular basis. In their complexity and uncertainty, they offer unparalleled challenges to our ordered minds. Facing those challenges, we face ourselves, and become ever more the total individual, the true discoverer of the philosopher’s stone. Mercy grants us limits in correlating the contents of our minds; providence provides for the possibility of achieving ever-greater correlation."

COMMENT

"Shanghai was down because PetroChina and Sinopec were up nearly 10%, which triggered the sell-off. If you invest in the Chinese A share market, you need to keep an eye on PetroChina and Sinopec.

Which actually takes more energy than overtrading.

(Reuters) - Investors have put in orders for $60 billion of common stock in General Motors Co's initial public offering as of Friday, six times the amount being offered, three people familiar with the matter said.

Investor demand for GM's common shares is still rising, the sources said. GM filed with U.S. regulators for the sale of only about $10 billion worth of common stock.

There is also "excess demand" for the $3 billion worth of preferred shares GM plans to sell, the sources said.

The robust demand suggests that GM's IPO will likely price around the top end of the $26 to $29 per share range and that the full overallotment option -- additional shares underwriters can sell to help stabilize the stock after it begins trading -- will be exercised, the sources said.

The full overallotment could take the total IPO amount to as much as $15.65 billion including both common and preferred shares, making it the second-biggest U.S. IPO ever, after Visa Inc.; November 12, 2010 at 3:39 PM
