Germany is not doing too well. Made a confirmation low on the weekly 3LB and is still below the monthly 3LB mid. If they're supposed to be leading the way then it's clear which way we're headed.

Last week formed a bullish piercing on the weekly chart. Is the dollar preparing to make its move higher? Many people believe the dollar should be heading to new lows because of monetary policy. The dollar may become a temporary safe haven as problems in Europe persist. Ireland is now talking about giving senor bondholders a haircut. The IMF is preparing for a major event. Fasten your seat belts.

Denninger has some good articles Today..
incl.: "...We have plenty of laws already. The problem isn't that Elizabeth Warren is putting together the CFPB, it's that the entire concept of a CFPB is a joke and a fraud upon the public in the first instance. The more byzantine you can make a set of laws or regulations the more you can wave your arms and pretend to be doing something important while accomplishing nothing at the same time the Jester is stealing all the cookies right out from under your nose.
The banking industry has turned this sort of Washington DC hand-waving into an art form. We have seen money laundering, passing of funds to and from barred nations such as Iran while intentionally obscuring the source or destination of funds, crooked sewer contracts in Jefferson County Alabama and well over a trillion dollars in bogus mortgages made and peddled worldwide. Any of these, standing alone, should have been enough to shut all of these firms down.
The real scam is that we continue to fall for the false claims and people screaming and shouting about that which will do nothing to stem the scams and frauds, for the simple reason that we need no new laws to sanction the conduct that took place.
Without a prosecutor who will actually prosecute all we're doing is making noise to divert the public's attention while the thieves steal all the loot..."

good morning! i wish i was more with it today..

I know you like her new Clairol #1321 dye-job/hair-do, but, really?, ya think she's, actually, doing anything constructive, or, is she being used as a 'Tool'?

Definitely a battle for position in the markets. Bulls are struggling to keep the market up but it's not looking good.
Holy crap! Buy programs just kicked into overdrive. Bastids.
Jack Welch vs. Elizabeth Warren-

That's weird. Only zerohedge has the Dallas Fed release. I didn't see it on marketwatch, finance yahoo, bloomberg, reuters. I guess when it's really bad no one wants the trading public to know.
AT,
great charts as always
all,
since the site is apparently being shut off on friday, for those of you that have my e-mail feel free to keep in touch from time to time
Yeah same here.
I-Man dont feel like participating in a blog where the author dangles "deletion" like a threat.
Lame.

I am going trout fishing in a couple of weekends. I will try to post some pics to remind you of us hillbillies...
bruce, that's great.. i have your blog bookmarked..
Andy, seconding Ben.. thanks for the charts! Finally got to them this morning.
LULU is having an 8% up day on no news.. of course, the 12.5% of float short position can't be having an impact..
Been reading Ben, BinT, Leftback, AmenRa, all.
Hope you find a place to meet again.
Thanks also to CV.
just received a recorded message about renegotiating my home mtg including principal reduction under the government's mandate to help all distressed homeowners blah, blah, blah.. UFB..

Book Cooking is alive and well.
Warren Buffett's company offered a strong endorsement of five stocks it holds as part of discussions with regulators about how it should value Wells Fargo & Co., Kraft Foods, Sanofi Aventis, Swiss Re and US Bancorp.
Berkshire ultimately agreed to record an impairment of the value of its holdings in drugmaker Sanofi Aventis, reinsurance firm Swiss Re and banking company US Bancorp at the end of 2010. But it didn't write down the values of Kraft and Wells Fargo.
Berkshire officials told regulators on Jan. 11 that they remain confident all five stocks were trading at levels below their true value, and the market price will eventually reflect that.
Bespoke
Breadth now at new bull market highs. http://bit.ly/hGheVZ

I like my books like I like my steaks - well done and with a cherry coke.
Karen,
as should be clear by the Bespoke chart
cumulative a/d as a stand-alone is worthless in terms of peredictive value.
for starters, the amount of issues on the exchanges even being traded are different than they were a year ago....
in contrast to the cumulative a/d, $nyupv:$nydnv isn't so hot..
but thanks for your comments, ben. i've really don't see it being useful on that type of a chart..
put slv on a 30 min chart.. starting at friday's close to the apex.. and this morning's open to the apex.. yeah.. i gave it away.. another triangle.
slv breakout? seems like it.
Karen
Ask Blythe if she wants to see SLV breakout.

Anyone know the details of the PM expiration from today? How many took cash? How many want delivery?
From ESPN article...on the Vegas Sports Books and VCU:
"Colbert said his books made the Rams an 80-1 longshot when the final 16 teams were set -- the most improbable team to win a title -- and took some big-money bets at that price.
"VCU is the one team that we don't want to win," he said. "Every other team is good for the house."
~~~~~~~~~~
Guess we now know that VCU WON'T be winning the Title.
Andy T
What were the odds on VCU from the start of the tournament? How bad was the hit on Vegas?
AR, maybe this will help.. i'm just getting to it now:

I'm going to do some charts of GLD & SLV with dates to see how they act.
Shhh!!! The weekly 3LB mid approaches...
Don't want to impose but could we just meet up at AmenRa's 3LB site next week if for some reason the lights go out here? Just asking...Do enjoy everyone's commentary immensely....
Agreed.

All we have to do is give Andy & myself full admin rights. We could then continue here with no problems.
anonymous -

we know who we are, but as the caterpillar said, "WHO are YOU?
VIX jumped a full percent in the final 15 minutes.

$LULU rallies 8%, breaks to new all-time high, then announces 2 for 1 stock split after the close.
I'll do whatever.. but at least we have AR's site as a backup plan.
back this evening.. gotta run! thanks, AR..

I LOVE Elizabeth Warren but believe Obama Volckered her, almost immediately, by not nominating her to a real post. Does that make her a "tool"? Yeah, from one perspective. But, that's not her fault. I hope she keeps talking enough to stay in the limelight and to cause a commotion. What else can we do?
Obummer is "no hope" and "no change".
