There is a real divergence today, with banks in the shitter and tech ripping. However, trannies are weak, so don’t get all excited and shit about a late day rally. I can say with an enormous degree of certainty, the market will not reverse higher today.
See tech is stupid, trading on the whims of frivolous and gratuitous takeover rumors. The real tell is the banks. Look no further than JPM, BAC, MS and GS.
Instead of selling out of my VXX, I added to my position today. It was a small add, in an effort to reduce my cost basis. Make no mistake, we are due for a 3% pullback.
All of my other positions are performing admirably, putting me flat for the day. Yesterday’s purchases of OPEN and RFMD proved accurate–so far–trading up for the session. More importantly, my WNR is barely down. Trust me when I tell you, “the WNR” cannot be kept down for much longer. It is worth at least $25, if not more.
To be clear: if I thought a steep drop was imminent, I’d sell my longs. I am net long because the market is speaking to me. My next play will be to remove most of my longs in an effort to allow my 15% short exposure benefit from the coming drop in stocks. I will not up my short exposure to more than 25%. My future allocation will likely be 10% long, 25% short and 65% cash.

Your comment reminds me of the episode of Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab where Amy Fisher’s husband Lou keeps threatening Jeremy Jackson “I’ll kill you where you stand motherfucker” Hilarious. Is that greeting unique to Long Island or a reference to a movie I am not familiar with? Thanks for a great site Fly.

Stocks trim losses.
Rise WNR…rise!!!
11 years for insider trading…that’s a lot of sausage packing for the almighty dollar.
I am shocked that we are turning higher this lat in the afternoon. I kinda doubt the close is as strong.
Wow. We’ve reversed lower again. So, at this moment, your blog post was right, Fly. You are right, even when it appears that you are wrong.
Of course we have such a ridiculous market that has seizures, so it could easily close 300 points up or down from here, as we’ve got 25 whole minutes.
I agree, this is pretty retarded.
We go higher.
See you at 1260+.
Well, that could have been worse. Not bad considering where we were this morning.
Uncle Fly, tell us the story about Black Friday again…
Pleeeeeeeeese?
Yey Google!!!
Fly-
This is what has driven stocks up: Operation Twist: Look at the dates and amounts:
http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/tot_operation_schedule.html
Even the bond sale (balance sheet neutral) proceeds have been used for stock purchases.
In addition to this, I would like to see a source showing total puts or calls written at a level as the market makers work to push the market to levels that result in options expiring worthless.
Do you have a source or do you take this into account with the PPT score?
Market makers working to push the market to levels that result in options expiring worthless– this happens sometimes and not other times.
Trading max option pain as a strategy would have worked out well in Sept. In August, it would have lost you your shirt, shoes, and pants.
