AmenRa's Corner

A place where a skillful caddy always offers cool contemplation when it comes to your "stick" selection.



Creditcane™: Came out swinging in the AM and got knocked around for a bit. Corner threw in the towel towards the close.



SPX
Hanging man day (but it didn't gap higher aka warning bears). Midpoint above EMA(10). Still above all SMA's. No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 1276.56). QE2infinity.

VIX
Bullish short day (failed to confirm dark cloud cover). Midpoint above EMA(10). Tested and passed SMA(55). New high on daily 3LB (reversal is 17.75). Stuck in the "no fear" zone. Currently does not have a monthly 3LB reversal.

The Bond Report will return tomorrow. This is due to signal failure in the area of Stoke Poges.

We regret any inconvenience that this may cause.

Mind the gap.

I remember reading in bloomberg magazine a few years ago that Simon's realized zeno's paradox when he was 5 or 6 years old.

interesting read here- the death of the Stock Market? Or at least its original purpose-

http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/01/24/the-stock-market-is-for-suckers/print/

the piece on Facebook- interesting, as I had not really delved into the GS investment (and subsequent million $ foreign investors)- maybe the stock market has outlived it usefulness and is in its present form just a sham . . .or a mere shadow of what it supposed to be or once was . . .

. . .and from the article it appears that unregulated markets for ownership stakes are gaining ground-

guess that's what happens when any chump can buy stock on the NYSE

Speaking of unregulated markets for ownership stakes.....crowdfunding.

Interesting article. The market may have lost its way. The fact that many prefer to stay private says a lot. Investing in company because of its growth potential still exists but the bulk of trades are for short term profit these days.

Amazing! "The hottest company in America" is "worth" $50 billion.

If wasted time is worth that much, then where's MY paycheck?
