Buy on Close

With some of the cash I have left, I will be buying the NASDAQ, in all of its cancerous glory, into the bell. While it’s tempting to buy it here, seeing it bounce, I’ve been around the block a few times and know how the mysterious robot overlord powers work–often choosing to torture market inhabitants with horrendous sell imbalances.

Considering the down 200 headline, I am not fairing too bad, save FANG.

Nothing scares me anymore, not even the specter of unforgiving losses.

Off to drive around my wife. She fancies a thing to two at this very moment.

            And no more global central bank help ,lol…We have created ONE massive ugly bubble since 2009, going to be super ugly when it all falls apart. Still amazed there was so much buying after SPX hit 1755ish? QE tapering was starting, BoJ had already hinted that they were going to wait, The BoE was finishing up and Draghi had to deal with the German Ct OMT ruling that tied his hands (still with EU Ct and still could tie his hands). We knew the econ data was going to suck..but everyone still bought this mess??

            I was toying with some futures on the side this morning without enough time to pay attention and a bunch of screaming kids hanging onto my limbs and beltstrap. I made some bad decisions.

            Going to cost me 2% of my portfolio it looks like, but i think i am only up 3% on the year.

            And yes, I am in Brazil but made the big mistake of “dabbling” here in the US.

        Cannot relax long 60 minis

        I am asking for a few nibblers and a couple of shorts to take a little profit off the table here…not asking for a full reversal.

  10. from gorby

    Just got back from Barcelona and gotta
    tell you things are hopping over there.The euro is everything and U.S prices are not posted.Spoke to cruise manager and he
    claimed that his ship was sold out for all tours over there.Also the U.S is still growing.
    I just can’t see 1929 right now.Look
    things are toppy, but it’s not the same as
    a collapse.

    Cheers

      it is showtime

      No offense but usually things under the surface that cause/result crashes

      As much as I would like a crash, not saying here it’s going to happen

      Just a little naive, however, to say growth and activity/surface things indicate no crash. Derivatives debt margin imbalances distortions most likely to be cause of any crash

    No muscle, no volume, no buyers….no one to push it over this little resistance point. A sad state of affairs.
