Rough rice is starting to break to new highs. It's above all SMA's. It closed above its 61.8% minor retrace (16.92). These prices are not good for China as their citizens will become angry. Food inflation is serious there.

Bears motivational speech before the market open...

This is funny (from ZH)
"We bring you this special announcement courtesy of the White House which has informed that American plebs that following a fantastic job well done, in which the market is now back to pre-QE2 levels, unemployment is near record highs, delays for presidential press meetings compare with Newark airplane take offs, pessimism is at record highs, America's credit rating has just been downgraded, the country was nearly bankrupted, and sales of end of the world provisions are through the roof (not to mention ammunition), president Obama is taking a well-deserved vacation at Martha's Vineyard at the end of the month. From Bloomberg: "President Barack Obama will vacation with his family in Martha's Vineyard at the end of this month as he's done in years past, the White House said Wednesday, despite the weak economy and negotiations on the nation's debt problem. Press secretary Jay Carney defended Obama's plans to take a break even as he's pledged urgent action on those issues. "I don't think Americans out there would begrudge that notion that the president would spend some time with his family," Carney said." Spot on, Jay, spot on."

Keep telling everyone how you "inherited" this mess...
I may just vote for Obama in 2012... Willing to overlook the fact that he "inherited" the last 4 years from...
Himself
Who will buy government bonds when the Fed ends QE2?
The 30 year bull market in bonds is over
4% seems about right on the 10 year
and so on
I suppose PIMCO is finding out the answers to all these questions, interestingly enough while 4% was stated as "just about right" for Gross to buy back on the 10 yr, he apparently changed his mind as PTTAX is now about 9% government bonds and growing
He also stated last year in the fall that nobody would ever snap up 5yrs at 1.5%.....
I guess everyone was waiting for them to go below 1% then....
PIMCO's explanations for causation in the markets are incorrect El Erian and Gross uttered each day for nearly two months leading up to the end of QE2 that surely bond yields had to rise after June 30....
and,....this just in
European markets may ban short selling in banks and other financial assets
Hey.....Europe, you want to really tank your markets? Then go ahead and ban the shorts
fools
@ben
go ahead and ban the shorts
Next up... Nixon style "wage & price" controls...
To commence in 8...5...3...2...
Yeah - that really worked - lol

Someday, it'll probably be curiously hilarious to sit & watch obama on TV trying to do his best Morgan Freeman (from that idiot movie 'deep impact'), telling people (from the teleprompter - as a ferocious comet was bearing down on the Earth), that...
"there will ne no hoarding... I'm freezing all prices effective immediately... What a bottle of water cost you yesterday, it will cost you tomorrow... You will go on paying your bills..."
BWWWAAAAHHHAAAHHHAAAA!!!!
@ra,
ok, if we get a bunch of sideways action for a few days, perhaps some sticks with lower shadows that don't approach the recent lows
that might be an indication that bulls have reinforced their ranks and are pushing the bear brigade back
futures session was spastic again so hard to say
SNB selling francs with reckless abandon as Swiss Francs were down over 4%.

I was just looking at the turnaround in futures. This makes no sense.
Also appears BOJ is doing a little selling.

from previous Thread..yes, I do think that *History is, far, pre-dates the 'Fertile Crescent'-episode..
admitted Archeological finds, in India, have been *dated back to ~8-10, 000 years..
this..

Mc22,
this is starting to feel like a 'bottom', yes?
If, big IF, right?, the Euros can keep a 'lid' on their Insolvent Banks, "We" may have seen the 'local Lows', for this move..
anyway, that's what it's starting to feel like..
AAIP
check out SODA
crushed today
going to work on that chart next few days then.....might be another set up now
AAIP
yeah, it's def. a big IF but hard to deny at least from a sentiment perspective that it's not short term bullish at the min.
check out some of these charts:

As far back, possibly, as 800,000 years (even more perhaps)...
But WE'RE, undoubtedly, the smartest most advanced civilization... EVER (or that EVER will be)... Just look at our brilliant accomplishments...
- We voted for Bush
- We voted for Obama
- We invented modern central banking
- jetpacks are coming in 8...5...3...2...

done for the day, actually done for the week
yesterdays gold/crude trade worked out great... cha-ching!
still long natty into next week
@AAIP
Yeah we're so technologically advanced these days that we can feed ourselves 'assembly line rat burgers' & write HFT algos that can steal & wipe out portfolios in a millisecond...
But we can't figure out, or confirm, or deny, that those lands & civilizations ever existed...
If Obama REALLY wants a legacy, he ought to quit with the teleprompters, & start putting up easter island style monoliths on the White House Lawn...
SPX had a bullish harami followed by a bearish harami followed by a bullish harami. No mas.

SODA puts = lottery... +1240%
really looks like an abc up from the lows right now. if you look at the sep s&p futures, the a=c targets 1206...or 1209 on cash.
the same a=c on cash takes you 1190 ish.
good stuff.
El Tigre looking a little shaky ....
AT, SPX... looking at 15min chart... ugly inverted H&S last 4 days, no?
AT,
you are talking tuesday's lows
just curious, do you favor cash of futures right now with that odd move after hours to 1070 that never happened (at least not yet) in cash?
which do you give more weight?
ben22.
Great question....
Not sure really how to treat it to be honest. The algos/humans can see the move that happened...it's there on the chart...it forms a pattern....
So, difficult to ignore it...
would be "funny" if if the weekly settle comes in at 1178.
what would the world be like without Barry dropping "truth bombs" ....
I wrote this to him:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe need to define the difference between “truth bombs” and being “bombastic.”
There are people who watch Fox and thought Glen Beck was dropping “truth bombs.” Ditto the dittoheads with Limbaugh.
Let’s not forget your other “truth bombs”

Oh well...guess not ever "bomb" hits....
Funny stuff.
For all I know, BAC is a shitty company that should go into bankruptcy. They certainly looked so a few years ago ....
But, after 2.5 years of the Fed giving the money away and monetizing the shitty MBS, I really have no idea.
I didn't realize BR was an expert in BAC stock.
"I didn't realize BR was an expert in BAC stock."
I wonder what happens to all that great desire for truth when it comes to his market calls, at those times he prefers being as ambiguous as possible. That would appear to be more of a selective truth bombing, you know, more like what all people do, and I mean ALL people.
but who am I to bother the Barry brigade
interesting close folks
big volume came in
I bought some puts on CSCO today, I made an intraday trade on SODA calls
it worked out good...but it was tiny money, gotta bid those in nickel increments so I wanted to move in and out fast, I'm not much for knife catching but down 40% in a day is worth a look....
