You should consider a much, much stronger warning next time – maybe also a 128 bit pass code.
How about those rated the worst?
Typically, whenever the inverses are at their lows,
we have some kind of pullback.
The bible say there shall be no gods before me. If we put things before him, those things end up being our gods. If we put god first, his blessings will follow. The devil took jesus to a holy city and had him stand out on the highest point of the temple. The devil said if you are the son of god, he said, ” throw yourself down”
For it is written ” he will command his angles concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands,
So that you will not strike your foot against a stone”
Jesus answered him,
It is also written ” do not put the lord your god at test”
This time the devil again took him to another high place and offered him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
All this I will give you, he said, if you will bow down and follow me”
Jesus said..
“Away from me satan! For it is written: “worship the lord your god, and serve him only.
Then the devil left him, and the angles came and attended him.
angles or angels

Do not be deceived. God will not be mocked. What a man sows, that will he also reap. In the case of many reading this….if you sow a lot of bs and hot air, you will reap the whirlwind.

OEW Weekend Update:
Short Term Trend >
“Support for the SPX is at 1146 and then 1136, with resistance at 1168 and then 1176. Short term momentum has remained around neutral for the past couple of days. During this uptrend from the July10 low at SPX 1011, we’ve had two rallies thus far. The first was from the low to SPX 1129 by mid-August, we labeled that Intermediate wave one. Next we had a sharp correction to SPX 1040 by the end of August, we labeled that Intermediate wave two. The current rally, from that low, has already made a higher high at SPX 1157. This is part of Intermediate wave three. Currently the wave structure suggests that Minor wave 1 of this Intermediate wave three ended at SPX 1149. Then a quick pullback to SPX 1123 ended Minor wave 2. Minor wave 3 began at that low. Remember, Intermediate waves unfold in five Minor waves. [The legend and the color coding we use for wave labeling is at the beginning of the chart link below.] Minor wave 3 started off fine, rallying to SPX 1150, but then turned choppy for most of this week. The SPX 1150 level is offering resistance as noted above. Once the market closes above 1150 it should move to the next pivot at SPX 1168. Important support remains at the 1090 and 1107 pivots. A drop below the 1136 pivot, with the current wave pattern, would create some concern short term. And, a further drop to the two lower pivots would create concern medium term. “
In short: if the market doest not go up it falls and if it not falls it goes up and if it not goes up or falls, it stays flat.
LMFAO
saw wall street 2…and woke up to find the spoos down 5
what more could anyone want…
I pray to CNBC gods that we dip once the market opens. This is now the “new bottom”, so I would not short, at least until DOW 11,500 or so. If the jobs number is bad, it will dip again and then rocket up thanks to QEII.
THE STOCK MARKET IS STILL climbing a wall of worry greased with lies. This is pure comfort for anyone who owns stocks, or holds options in anticipation of an advance, as doubt often keeps markets happy, healthy and strong. The epic number of takeover rumors is another matter.
Everyone knows September’s Standard & Poor’s 500 index return of 9% was the best since 1939. Less known, and arguably more meaningful for the future, is that based on performance metrics for 2,920 managers, 27% of funds are trailing their benchmark index by 5% year-to-date through September, according to JPMorgan. This is the highest number since 1998. Only 3% of large-capitalization stock funds are beating their benchmark by 5%.
These numbers most likely bode well for October, and the rest of the year. Since 1928, October’s return has been positive two-thirds of the time. Thomas J. Lee and Daniel McElligott, JPMorgan equity strategists who compiled the fund data, believe market-trailing fund managers will play a major role in year-end market dynamics. “In 1998,” they noted, “the S&P 500 rose 21% from Sept. 30 through year end, proving to be a particularly good year for equities as managers played catch up.”
To close the performance gap, fund managers eventually will be forced into aggressive stock-buying—provided future economic data don’t justify their skepticism.
Lee and McElligott assembled a list of 26 high-beta cyclical stocks that they think mutual-fund and hedge-fund managers might buy to play catch up. The stocks have an average 2011 price/earnings ratio of 14, a 2.0 beta, 7% revenue growth and 2011 earnings- per-share growth of 20%.
The list: Manpower (ticker: MAN), Ashland (ASH), DISH Network (DISH), Mohawk Industries (MHK), Precision Castparts (PCP), Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL), Xerox (XRX), Whirlpool (WHR), Interpublic Group (IPG), Eastman Chemical (EMN), Western Union (WU), CBS (CBS), Ford Motor (F), Newell Rubbermaid (NWL), Textron (TXT), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide (HOT), Limited Brands, (LTD), Coach (COH), Allegheny Technologies (ATI), Harley-Davidson (HOG), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Macy’s (M), Deere (DE), Rockwell Automation (ROK), Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and Las Vegas Sands (LVS).
Options investors can look at the list as a trading menu for December options. Because September trading was so strong, historical volatility for many stocks is low. So, options pricing models “reason” that future volatility (implied) will also be muted. That means options on many stocks don’t reflect market events, including third-quarter earnings, or even the specter of underperforming fund managers having to chase Mr. Market.
To close the performance gap, fund managers eventually will be forced into aggressive stock-buying—provided future economic data don’t justify their skepticism.
Looks like we’ll get to see if that theory plays out on the pages of thisn’ here stock blog! 😉
