CALAMITY: S&P CRASHES, CLOSES DOWN .01%

Big reversal, especially in the NASDAQ. If I was a degenerate OTB guy, today would chagrin me a great deal. I could have sold everything at higher prices and bought FAZ or TZA. Luckily for me, I do not comport myself in such a manner. I will leave the odd lot trading for you and yours. While you’re busy with that, I will be accumulating shares of TEX, MTW, NXPI, YELP, TDC and CLF on dips.

You must understand: I wasn’t scared when the markets were crashing. There is no way in warm hell this shit is scaring me.

We sold the news. Big.Fucking.Deal.

The panickers will panic. The only way I become a seller is if the Europeans cease to help themselves from shooting each other in the faces with trebuchets.

I gained 1.6% for the day.

      The markets were on their way to crashing last summer. They are merely being uncooperative at the moment.

    Hmmm…market wasn’t crashing Mr. Fly. It was good that the market closed lower because it made a beautiful formation indicative of a bullish sentiment. Had the market closed higher, it would’ve looked bearish. People were simply taking profits close to the end of the trading day. Just my humble opinion 🙂

    Fly, what % of your portfolio is YELP nowadays? Was obviously the only reason you were up 1.6% today with everything else trading down with some (NXPI/TEX) >= (1.5%)

    OEW Daily Ramblings:

    “The second gap up opening in a row pushed this rally, from monday’s SPX 1267 low, to 1329. That’s 62 points, nearly 5%, in only three days with no meaningful pullback along the way. Quite impressive. This is the type of market activity, during this bull market, [that] usually occurs at the beginning of an uptrend. After hitting extremely overbought short term, and remaining there for a day or so, this market was in need of a pullback. Today’s pullback of 16 points is quite normal in relation to the recent 62 point rally. Pullbacks during the last uptrend ranged anywhere from 8 to 33 points during the trending portions of the wave.”

    “This would suggest short term support is in the range of the 1313 and 1303 pivots. Overhead resistance is now at SPX 1328/35 and 1342/47. Short term momentum is declining after remaining at extremely overbought. The short term OEW charts remain in a positive mode with the swing point now around SPX 1305.”

    “As to the stock market: again, calm down. Counter trend rallies are euphoric. They are fast, big, and make you want to believe again. Refer though, to the ancient rule of thumb that things reverse by about half of the prior move. We went from 1422?s recent S&P high to about 1260 intraday in the futures market, or 162 points. If we retrace half of that, or 81 points, we take the average back to 1341. This rebound, as I write Thursday afternoon, has carried to 1325. I would expect this rally, as much as I love it, to not carry much further. A trading range around 1300, +/- 40 points is my guess.”

    Got an e-mail after the close telling me there was a “major” sell off. I checked and the Dow closed up 46. What the hell! I need to find some new friends.

    It wasn’t the Bernank, it wasn’t the Euro’s. It was the congressional hearings on TeeVee. It becomes embarrassingly obvious what tools we have for members of Congress.

    People are talking about “summer trading” blablabla. I’ve been saying for a long time, there is NO WAY this year is a carbon copy of the last two years. The market is not THAT stupid. So regarding summer trading, we collapsed in July last year, not in May. This year, in case no one has noticed, we’re rallying in early June. My prediction was that this year would be an epic bullish summer and I,m not wavering. Please ignore the rookies who know nothing and think that it’s a foregone conclusion that summers are always stupid. Well, often summers suck, but I’ve traded summers where you made money hand over fist as the market went up and up and up while un-rigorous bozos took “vacations”. I believe this year will be one of those summers.

    I thought BHO phoning it in over the past months was bad enough,but you got to admit Bernanke “Had no plan” today except if it gets really bad we’ll step in…We need “Chainsaw Al” Dunlap in the worse way. We need to go Sunbeam Corporation on this whole crew. Forget Wisconsin, we need Scottie Walker running the ship yesterday!
