Setting Up For a Whoosh

I know the Fed waits in the balance and the market can turn on a dime; but we are due for a sell off anyway, no? What better time to WHOOSH lower, based upon lack of QE2 chatter? Should “The Bearded Clam” disappoint market participants, we will trade lower, significantly. The stage is set, from yields to yen, back to breadth.

Howsoever, the market is in the retard zone. Therefore, nothing is what it seems and everything is made with dream dust. I shorted more AEM, due to my belief that gold is scheduled to trade lower. Yes, I said “scheduled.” But, I am not interested in shorting anything else ahead of Ben. He’s a fucking rapist.

Oh, by the way, never trust the initial reaction, as it is always a trick. Typically the market finds its direction about 3:00. Either way, we are due for a sharp reversal of fortune, if I might be so bold.

      Amazing. Just happened to be at the right place at the right time. The question mark isn’t because I question that FIG, simply that I questioned whether I’d be the first to say it.

      Now I can die happy. Mind you, I’d be even happier if we have a big sell off any time soon.

    I love Bernanke days…
    I think he says that while things are still fragile there appears to be an improvement in economic activity over the most recent period and that we stand ready to put lighter fluid on this rally if necessary.

    I used to love to day trade (box trade) the Fed announcements. Total meat grinder at times.

    BTW. I’ve been in the PPT for the past 4 hours. It is highly addictive and very helpful. I’m impressed. Thanks for the great tools guys!

    I’ve been thinking about how remarkably similar this run has been to the last one just prior to the previous Fed announcement and how afterwards there was a large sell off.

    But can it really be that easy?

    FTF (Fade the Fly) ? Oh my, say it isn’t so …

    Lower interest rates for everyone.

    Businesses are looking to hire, but there’s a lack of skilled (motivated) workers. Job training programs will be the next significant announcement from the government. BTW, this will also be coupled with an end to unemployment benefits – one takes the place of the other.

    Let’s see, it’s 2:35 and Dow is up 57 and SP 500 at 1146
    Like you said a week ago, the time to short is when you see market weakness.
    Gold is another issue.

        Those Harvard skirts are generally pretty ugly.

            Especially Brown.
            I visited the campus when my daughter was scouting out schools and I believe I can make a generalization of what I saw.
            Nothing but a bunch of selfish, over inflated ego, Daddy and Mommy are rich and bought me my BMW when I was 16, punks who couldn’t get into Harvard,Yale or Princeton.
            My daughter saw the same thing and ended up at the University of Virginia.
