Since banks will be CYA mode a reversal might not be in the works. Gold hitting new highs, Italian, Germany and France banks getting pummeled. Greece failing to meet its goal for the next tranche. Not a pretty picture.
what was that you were saying about ~'Changes'--occuring over the 'Labor Day' Weekend?
Yeah but at the same time... I was only 4-6 in my college 'picks' over the weekend...
Disclaimer: I suck at college picks... Oh, I'll get you to 50-50 over time (but that's nothing more than glorified coin flipping - & doesn't make you any money)...
I put up the picks ANYWAY to add commentary & analysis...
NFL is where I'll make you $$ over time...

I like tyhose charts Andy... I see your latest wave points straights down to about 840 (which was the number that CV used as the "low" in those old 2010 'predictions' that we all did about 2 blogs ago)...
I nailed the top for that within only about 10 S&P points...
As for the "Low"... Well, we were well on our way (& ready to break 1,000, over, '4th of July' weekend, but then it seems some backdoor meetings were held, which culminated in Jackson Hole a month later [after all the prerequisite frontrunning]... And 'lo & behold' here we are ONE YEAR LATER teetering on that same breakable glass floor (a little higher up - but the SAME floor none the less)...
The 'name' of that floor is...
"FED - print us some more money to gamble with & pay our bonuses & in return you'll get another year of people believing in this mirage economy"
does this mean a top in gold? I have no idea, I doubt it.
but what it does mean is that gold has gone mainstream at this point and anybody saying otherwise is simply in denial, sticking to that story that mom and pop don't know about it doesn't really hold water anymore, it's not as if big players are buying up gold from the Pawn Stars in Vegas, or trading at the kiosk at the mall.
by the time CNBC reports on a trend it is of course quite mature.
perhaps then this is the dawn before the final blow-off in gold, the public is the main ingrediant of the final blow-off stage historically
perhaps within another year it will be unfashionable NOT to own gold amongst the general public. Surely tons of gold scams will be outed in the next 5-6 years.
lol AR, don't think uncle warren has much to worry about, the bigger than normal divy he gets from the extra charges BAC charges its common folk will more than make up the difference. Now if the stock goes sub $3 like it did a couple years back, he'll just buy a few billllion more.
re:gold, I'd really love to see it sell off a couple hundred bucks from here, not sure that'll happen tho. Think many are looking at the dow/gold getting low, but still has room to go lower IMO.
SPX looking a little bullish here, 1250+ into next week... possible?
When the last-minute gambits [suck the last few bucks left out of the company] to rescue Solyndra fell through on Aug. 30, [even though they knew this company was going to fail before the loans were granted] company executives [still collecting bigger paycheck and bonuses] determined they had little choice but to pull [even though they have already aquired new board of director positions with other companys] the plug on the once-sparkling [everything looks good on paper] business.
screw the potholes!,,, nobody can get to work if the bridges collapse! Many were built in the 50's and 60's with a lifespan of around 60-100 years. With all the budget cuts last decade, I doubt the proper maintenance has been done to many of them.

Put down the BBQ. Futures continue lower after reopening.

You're Ugly.
Hey, hey you're Ugly.
in re: S&P futures.
It seems like every one of these extreme overnight moves, whether higher or lower, gets reversed in the first ours of the U.S. open ....
ReplyDeleteFor several weeks now this has been the case.
wonder if this one will be any different

There is definitely a struggle to get the futures off the lows. I see futures inching higher just to get knocked back down.
ReplyDeleteGold getting frisky again as it has an overnight high of 1913 (so far).

ReplyDeleteAndy, thanks for the charts. Interesting to see if we open right at or below that line you point out this morning.

SNB pegs the CHF to 1.20 Euros. All other interventions have failed. It's do or die now.

ReplyDeleteWorth a read this morning...
At this rate 10yr yields will be in the 1.8% zone.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised there wasn't a gap lower at the open.
ReplyDeletegold getting rejected into those previous highs...
ReplyDeleteAndy T
ReplyDeleteMaybe that was the SNB selling gold to buy euros. j/k
But the consistent push above $1900 has to be irking the CBs.
I also don't think anyone believes that the move off the lows is sincere. The dark side of the force is winning. :-)
ReplyDeleteregarding gold, I put up the ling of pawn stars over the weekend, he gets gold at night and it's all gone by noon the next day
ReplyDeleteI haven't had generally had a meeting in months where gold wasn't brought up.
I went to the mall yesterday, I counted 4 cash 4 gold kiosks.
CNBC ran this recently:

Shanghai Gold Exchange raises margins on gold and silver. This was done before the Chinese festival and the SGE would be closed during that time.
