iBANKCOIN TRIVIA NIGHT: PRIZES FOR WINNERS AND COFFEE FOR CLOSERS

____________________

Welcome to the inaugural iBC Trivia Night!

For refreshments, we have provided some Deadwood-fresh canned peaches and coffee. Unfortunately, Senator JakeGint has been denied canned peaches privileges by Al “The Fly” Swearengen.

____________________

Your answers to the trivia questions below should be entered into the comments section of this blog post. The first one who gets all of the answers correct wins first prize. Alternatively, if everyone gives a piss-poor showing, we will decide whether to grade you all on a curve and award first prize to the best of the lot (kind of like being the richest man in Rwanda).

FIRST PRIZE consists of

  • An iBC custom mug
  • TWO iBC T-shirts

Second prize goes to the person who either gets all of the answers correct and is the next in time to enter them in my comments section after the first prize winner OR gets the most correct out of the questions (even if not a perfect score) compared to all other non-first prize participants.

SECOND PRIZESecond prize is a set of steak knives.

  • An iBC T-Shirt. Retail value: $999.50 (Think Ed Hardy times 50)

THIRD PRIZE is you’re fired, and possibly banned from iBC altogether. Get the picture? You laughing now?

NOTE: The BONUS question will be graded separately. The first person to correctly guess the BONUS question wins:

  • An iBC T-Shirt. Retail value: $499.50 (Think True Religion times 10)

UPDATE: “Yogi & Boo Boo” correctly guessed the Bonus question.

UPDATE: CONGRATS TO FIRST PRIZE WINNER: “Pea” and SECOND PRIZE WINNER “Yogi & Boo Boo,” who also got the BONUS question.  I will now reveal the answers.

Egg Drop Soup Appetizer

The overall market action is still quite slow after the uptick in fear and volatility yesterday. I am not doing much in terms of swing trades today, other than monitoring relative strength performers and looking for a strong close from the bulls for me to get aggressive again. The main thing I was looking for today was a sign of stabilization, and so far so good on that front.

On the whole, most traders seem to be content to sit on their hands until the debt ceiling vote occurs. In the meantime, intraday traders are playing some of the hot Chinese names, such as AVL MCP SHZ RENN YOKU. Indeed, some of these charts loop ripe for swings, even if they are nothing more than quick egg drop soup appetizers to satiate traders’ appetite for now.

Gym Rats Breaking Out

It is tough to chase CLUB today, with it up over 20%. Right behind it, though, another gym franchise is set up well. LTM looks good on strength above $43/$43.50 on the back of the CLUB breakout. Keep it on watch.
