GDP came in at 3.2%, just below consensus. Remember, the market is NOT going up based upon robust global growth. It’s going up based upon the Fed’s monopoly money. Bernanke is dropping cocaine all over the exchange and you fuckers are sniffing it all up. We should be down today. But, there is a strong likelihood we will trade up. If you are short, this sort of tape is frustrating, as you can sense the pressure building. The news isn’t bringing stocks down, so what will?
Nothing.
Any consolidation serves as a powder keg for future gains.
I got blind sided today, long ROVI into a downgrade. KLAC posted strong earnings, which should buoy the entire chip sector. The cloud sector is bouncing today, thanks to strong earnings from RVBD. And, precious metal stocks are BOING, despite Jakegin hating on them. I must admit, Jake is a curious chap. As you know, I like EXK/AGQ.
Top picks: BORN (Chinese whiskey into Chinese New Years, hello!), PH
UPDATE: I sold out of my TEX position.
UPDATE II: I sold out of ROVI
UPDATE III: Sold out of AGQ

Good thing I gave everyone the almost exact earnings release before they said anything after the close. CYT beat and remains optimistic for the commercial aerospace industry going forward in 2011. Stock popped 13% on the open and calls are up 130% overnight. Call starts at 11AM EST.
Revisions for GDP have been up in the recent past. You can write this up as a 3.6% when it’s revised next month. If that’s the case we’re going to see GDP acceleration above 4% in the first 1/2. That will be rocker fuel for stocks.
I’m surprised just how strong silver is in light of gold weakness. That cross (Gold /silver) is too low at 48. It ought to be trading somewhere around 58 me thinks.
Can it be explained by industrial demand? Just a conjecture, have no figures of consumption volumes.
Perhaps.. dunno, but the best indicator of shortish term moves are like this , when sliver is doing the opposite of gold.
I heard that the historical g/s ratio is 20ish. Is that true?
Not that low of an average, or close, since the ratio was legally fixed
Yes the US fixed gold and silver at 1:16 during the 1800’s, and even before then the ratio has been below 20 going back to ancient roman times.
In modern times it is common for the ratio to bounce between 1:80 and 1:40. (last time it was at 1:16 was when the Hunt brothers cornered the silver market in early 1980’s)
The ratio found as found in nature is close to 1:17.5. But from 1:48, I expect an overshoot the other way. Like 1:12 or 1:14. I won’t sell until I see that at least 1:15 be it 2 years or 10.
Yeah, 40:1 is aggressive.
I expect it to get into the 30’s at the peak, however.

Yes Mr. Kass, we heard all of your “top” calls.
Amazing how just as our military starts winding down operations in Iraq and then Afghanistan, and everyone starts talking about defense budget cuts, a new hot bed erupts in Egypt…coincidence?
Ike new what he was talking about when he warned us.
Might be time for a little TLT trade?
Fly, your call on Silver the other day prompted me to lock in some gains on my short. Thank you, good sir.
