BEIJING (Reuters) - China's exports of rare earth metals burst through the $100,000-per-tonne mark for the first time in February, up almost ninefold from a year before, while the volume of trade stayed far below historical averages.
China's squeeze on rare earths, which are used in a wide range of hardware including precision-guided weapons, hybrid car batteries and iPads, has forced prices up dramatically since July last year, when each tonne fetched a mere $14,405 on average.
@AT,
previous thread, re E wave:
Neely has a big box drawn now for it, I'll spare the specific but it points to a sub 1200 S&P by end of April roughly. Each day I've noticed on many blogs what seems like an almost uncontrollable urge to call the bottom of this correction, so to me it makes the E wave being nasty more probable. Orthodox counters of course are hovering of their charts trying to figure out why the i-ii, i-ii didn't work.
he's also stated that a diametric could be forming instead, which I can see easier than I could the triangle originally.
it seems with the bank dividends that BAC is sort of the ugly kid in the corner
What's up BAC?
Also, note the Citi 1 penny dividend is post stock split, so it's going tp pay you less than what a Citi savings account would right now
Any takers?
@bruce
Well - While Nero was fiddling down in Rio, we sent about 20 cruise missles in to hit about 40 targets in Libya, so some silver just got taken off the market as well...
AT,
one other thing regarding that E wave, I'd suppose depending on the size it could be used as confirmation that the (B) wave is in fact over as the move could be larger and faster than any in the wave that preceded it.
guess we should know within 30 days or so
>> we sent about 20 cruise missles in to hit about 40 targets in Libya
Wow. We're *good*.

Watch YM 11990, 11974... those are my resistance/likely reversal prints for this morning.
If we surge, 12015... 12026.
If we start getting nasty,

Here's a simple test of whether the economic recovery is self-sustaining or not: cut Federal spending back to 2007 levels (a $1 trillion reduction) and cancel all Fed intervention such as quantitative easing.
I,
on the nasty, guess that would align with AT's 1318 mention of gap closures, we'll see, despite yesterday I don't think it was the greatest effort by bulls, we'll see what kind of juice they have left.
11962 is the halfway (50%) of the big move overnight sunday to yesterday mornings high.
Will be trying to sell that on sustained weakness, but on the lookout for some support below that could come in about 11940.
one of those JW articles with charts..
http://www.businessinsider.com/is-this-why-hedge-funds-bought-the-fukushimalibya-selloff-2011-3
The 25% retrace of the big move is down at 11936, so would be a good target if I get to short the 11962.
Wow a 20% drop in the US Richmond index. Ouch.
k -
still have your shipper(s)? time to re-think?
from bruce krasting Shipping News:
"The Baltic Dry index has bounced 50% from 1000 to 1500 in the past month. Other indexes have followed suit. I asked a friend in shipping if this a true turnaround or just a dead cat bounce in an index that fell 75% (peak to trough) in 10 months. I got an interesting response.
"The Carlyle Group, the world’s second-biggest private equity fund, said it’s forming a venture to buy more than $5 billion in container, dry bulk, and tanker vessels as well as other shipping assets.
"So is this a good sign for the industry? Yes and no was the answer.
"Anytime an entity commits big capital like this it will affect the whole industry. Pure supply and demand suggests ships are gong to up in value. So that seems like good news.
"But the other side from the Greek shipper:
'For years we have all made a fortune shipping raw materials and other goods to and from China. The Chinese know this. The China/Carlyle deal will create competition that now does not now exist. I am afraid that our biggest customer will no longer need our ships. Long-term this will be bad for us.'
"Chinese dominance of the global economy is growing every week. Nothing is going to slow that ship down. It's written in stone"
I love how we've rallied back up to the underside of both the 20 and the 50 on SPX, and also, if you draw a trendline from the 1332 peak down it intersects in the same place. I think it will take a lot to bust through all that resistance. Also, looks just like the pre flash crash chart.
". Also, looks just like the pre flash crash chart."
that's an interesting observation considering the e wave should be nasty, not expecting another flashie, but nasty all the same.
@ J
Yes, it really is matching up to that pattern isnt it? Been doing the copycat thing for awhile...
If you overlay feb/march '11 over april/may '10 its a cool thing...
My shipper is DHT.. i'm gonna keep holding it.
The last 10min are a superb example of why you always need to wait for confirmation before trading a pivot.

NFLX looks toasted to me..
JJC below 57.. i have a bad feeling about Japan..
eh....we might just move sideways most of the day
be back in a few hours
Japan is really bad going forward. They lost 20% of the electricity generation capacity. Steel? Sure...
That is also, IMO, a much greater threat to life than that of the "radiation". That many people so close, without electricity....
I find this long period of congestion disconcerting. Don't you think its strange to have so many SPX hourly candles (8) almost all the same? I think its odd that price wasn't repelled more forcefully.
i'd hate for ben to miss a flash crash, lol!

we never got down into the gap yesterday, bears need a big effort just as much as bulls now
might be too early but can you guys see the triangle?
yesterdays top around 2:30 connects the two tops today, bottom line is horizontal using closing prices, we broke down, testing the underside now
wouldnt' trade it, might be nothing, not sure how effective triangles are on that short of a time frame, but the C wave in this pattern was also confirmed with a break from a triangle

At least she has a clue, from studying data.
Actually, "studying data" is perhaps not the strong suit. The Fed "studies data" all day but choose to screw us. So, let me say instead: "At least she has a clue and was warning us -- before the crash -- that we're screwed." She has some foresight. Contrast that with the happy/smiley people in the establishment.

the name on this link is wrong but it should take you to the right post.. gotta say i agree with his views on silver:
http://www.marketanthropology.com/2011/03/perspective-on-bond-yields_16.html
I have been closely following the gold/silver ratio as it cascades lower in 2011. For me it's another barometer of risk in the system - or lack there of. Basic thesis being that the silver market speculates with greater velocity than the gold market during times of exuberance and captures the underlying animal spirits of the marketplace. Of course there's more nuance to the ratio than that - but let's keep it simple stupid (KISS).
this was fantastic!! http://www.marketanthropology.com/p/video-of-week.html
I'm not a huge E. Warren fan seems to me she'll get pushed around, and stuff like this:
"Oh, c'mon. She's much better than 95% of the turds in government and FIRE -- "GFIRE"."
is a derivative of the "better than bush" crowd
why are 95% of the turds the benchmark?

re: E. Warren..
...The Daily Bail awaits comment from Mary Kissel.
Zack Carter started a bit of a commotion recently, when he identified the Wall St. Journal's Mary Kissel - a former Goldman Sachs executive - as one of the people behind the recent attacks on Elizabeth Warren and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). It would be one thing to attack Warren on ideological grounds, or even for partisan political reasons, but Ms. Kissel and the WSJ are simply making things up.
They claim, for example, that the CFPB, under Warren's command, "is trying to extend its reach by extorting billions of dollars from private mortgage servicers, regulating their business by fiat, and stalling a U.S. housing market recovery."
The reality is, that neither Warren herself, nor the CFPB, is "extorting" anyone. Nor, as Warren testified to Congress this week, does she or anyone from the Bureau have anything whatsoever to do with any direct negotiations with the banks and mortgage servicers regarding any kind of settlement. The DOJ and Treasury have asked people who are involved in setting up the Bureau, including Warren herself, for advice, but there is no evidence that anyone associated with the CFPB has done anything more than that. If the WSJ had evidence to the contrary, they would produce it, because it would be one of the biggest scoops of the year. But there is no such evidence...."

Ben, re futures, I've thought about it...but, here's the thing. I find that every time I try something new (timeframe, indicator, you name it) I lose money for a while as I figure it out. (Here's where you all tell me to papertrade.) I'm in a place where I don't want to spend a couple of months learning something new. I would need a new trading platform, I guess I could switch to TOS but I don't even have that loaded on my computer...and there's the big TICK we've been waiting for. Wrond direction.
Short again... from 11962.
Bows...
Some biguns up there... Little River?
Jennifer,
understandable and this is NOT the part where I tell you to papertrade. IMO, paper trading is find if you want to test out a mechanical system that is designed to take most, but not all, of the emotion out, otherwise my I think its useless...if you are just trying to trade without a system and you do so on paper, lets say using basic TA only, I claim you learn nothing about what happens when you really put money on the line, it's never the same on the emotional side and all great traders tell you the same thing, that you need to control your emotion....in which case paper trades dont' help.
losing money for a while with something new is normal, it's called tuition.
Main reason I asked you is because options are THE hardest thing to profit on, futures eliminates much of the uncertaintly of options and also get more favorable tax treatement.
If I were a home trader I'd keep all my "retirement money" in treasuries and would only trade futes.
Also, I would never advise TOS to trade on, I use it to chart because our company has no drawing tools but they have incorrect information all the time on TOS, I'd never feel safe trading there, if you wanted to really get into trading I'd go with TradeStation, but that's just my opinion.
have fun on that cruise.
When I get caught up I will have to tell you what my brother lucked into....
Anyway, canoe down the Caney Fork next weekend for rainbows...but not today.

Karin Mackaliunas, 27, was detained last weekend following a crash, according to authorities. Scranton police say they found three bags of heroin in her jacket and after being taken to the police station she told investigators she had more hidden in her vagina.
A doctor performed a search and recovered 54 bags of heroin, 31 empty bags used to package heroin, prescription pills and $51.22

Skipping Class: The Blind Side of the Duke-Michigan 'Uncle Tom' Debate
Dave Zirin | March 22, 2011
As college basketball's March Madness overwhelms the sports landscape, a war of words has escalated between the early 1990s alums of Michigan and Duke. In an ESPN documentary about the Fabulous Five Michigan freshmen who led the Wolverines to two title games, their point guard Jalen Rose invoked the phrase "Uncle Toms" [1] to describe the Blue Devil's African American players of that era. One of those players, Duke All-American and current Phoenix Sun Grant Hill, went public with a stiletto-sharp response in the New York Times. [2] Hill called upon his own family's history, weaving Black pride and Duke pride together calling Rose “pathetic” and writing, "My teammates at Duke—all of them, black and white—were a band of brothers who came together to play at the highest level for the best coach in basketball. I know most of the black players who preceded and followed me at Duke. They all contribute to our tradition of excellence.”
In the subsequent uproar, Rose has tried to explain that his statements reflect how he felt twenty years ago. He said it was born out of the envy he felt for the familial and financial security held by many of the Duke players and his resentment that Duke didn’t recruit him because he came from an impoverished single-parent home. That hasn't been nearly enough to chill the rage of many commentators...."

Charleston Gazette
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Clarksburg FBI complex is taking part in a $1 billion project that will enable law enforcement agencies to identify criminals and terrorists by physical characteristics more quickly and accurately, an FBI official said Monday in Charleston.
Earlier this month, the FBI center unveiled its "Next Generation Identification System," which will slowly replace an older system that can no longer handle the volume of fingerprints sent to Clarksburg.
"It's bigger, better, faster," said Stephen Morris, a deputy assistant director at the FBI Center. "It increases capacity and accuracy."
Morris spoke Monday at a Charleston Rotary Club luncheon at the Civic Center...."

I saw the show, Rose did explain during it why he felt that way or I thought he made that clear, I imagine, if people were being real about it, lots of young black men that played college hoops have felt that way about Duke and their players.
Was probably the wrong thing to say, but Rose was simply expressing what he felt like as a young kid coming out of a tough area and playing basketball at Michigan.
Lots of people forget all these college stars are 17-19 years old, I was a complete idiot when I was that age, and I wasn't under anywhere near the pressure these kids are.

>> They claim, for example, that the CFPB, under Warren's command, "is trying to extend its reach by extorting billions of dollars from private mortgage servicers, regulating their business by fiat, and stalling a U.S. housing market recovery."
The banksters' claims are funny on several levels:
- First, they are regulated "by fiat" -- by Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke, who are shoveling them money every day. What these banksters don't want is for *anyone else* to get involved.
- Second, I can only hope that someone "extort[s] billions of dollars" from the banking sector, which has just recently extorted trillions from the rest of us Americans.
- Third, the people "stalling a U.S. housing market recovery" are Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, Obama, Larry Summers, most of the Dems and GOP, and the banks, too, who refuse to take writeoffs.
