Midnight Charting, with your Host, “The Fly”

Notice how my charting skills are so good, so precise, it (my fucking chart) does not require “rookie lines” or commentary. The chart itself is alive, breathing; it is art.

To hold or not to hold is the question. As you shall understand and learn quickly, the fate of the markets, your fledgling business and most certainly your life is intertwined with the daily on doings of the chart, most prominently featured above. Indeud.

NOTE: The name of the stock or ETF is entirely irrelevant, which is the reason why it is ommitted, as it is none of your concern. It’s just another reason to trust your #1 source for “Chart Chompery,” from your host, Gracious Fly.

    Glad I caveated my hammer sightings yesterday on my holdings by saying “this is generally what happens” when you see them…

    Because generally I got hammered by my hammers all day today.

    Ah well, cheaper product for you, I guess.

    Clearly the strategy of randomly buying random shit and hedging it with more random shit without using stops is far superior to the TA put out by the chart chompers. Reading charts is like driving with a map; only ladies do that.

    Here’s a chart: First one on top

    http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID1606987

    “Last thursday the SPX hit 956, the high for the uptrend. Since then, the market has worked its way down to SPX 904 as of yesterday. The decline appears to be five waves: 936, 946, 920, 928 and 904. At the lows the market was extremely oversold and due for a rally, which has been underway. The rally from SPX 904 has unfolded in three waves, thus far: 918, 909, 922. Plus the market is beginning to reach overbought levels. With the rally over SPX 920 today we can now mark a potential Minor wave 1 at the 904 low.”

    That means we only have two waves left for this uptrend – a small decline (say 10 down) and a final up wave (say 15) to about 925-930 completing Minor wave 2 … of course Minor wave 3 will continue the downtrend of Primary C. I’d expect this could happen tomorrow and certainly no later than intra-day Monday. I will be selling into strength and plan to be 80-90% cash no later than mid Monday.

    Fly,

    Hamfast is a pilot, and therefore an officer.

    While he must offer the Sgt Major his deference, he will never have to take an order from him, even if he is the wettest of Piper cubs.

    no surprises here, but some out there might be interested… Citi’s report tonight on RIMM:

    Stock Call: “Skate to Where the Puck Will Be” — Remain buyers of RIMM with $100 target price; stock on Citi’s Top Picks Live list of fresh money ideas. Newproducts are becoming increasingly appealing to consumers with screen & webbrowsing enhancements, new Tour & other products could spur acceleration in2HCY09. We believe investors are still too focused on margins & are over looking $5 of EPS power on the horizon ($5 EPS x 20 multiple = $100 target price). Consumers (80% of net) are adding more Blackberry than corp’s.
    ..Verizon’s BOGO termination does not change thesis as
    promotions continue..
    ..We believe the after-market volatility was due to RIMM’s results/guidance being ahead of sell-side consensus, but a touch softer than whisper numbers (which recently crept higher). We see opp’ty here for fundamental buyers given pressure on shares from recent competitor downgrades (15% sell ratings) & lofty expectations that have now been reset lower to obtainable levels.

    for those of you who have plenty of cash and would like to do something incredibly fun, i suggest taking Pilot lessons. Getting your private pilot license takes about 40 hours and costs 4-5K. Flying is the most fun i’ve ever had, and is much easier than you think.

    here’s a picture of the awesomeness of flying a simple Piper cub into a grass strip. This was on the eastern shore of Maryland when I went to school across the bridge:

  34. j, that means little. The “Bay” area is a one of a kind real estate market and not indicative of the country as a whole. Real estate does not lead out of recessions anyways. The USA economy is not going to be robust any time soon and there is a ball and chain around the ankle of the economy in the form of huge budget deficits.

    Dammit j…seriously I am not picking on you…but I swear almost every post you make in this blog is dripping with homosexual undertones. First you stated clearly yourself 2 days ago, that you do not like short men. Then you throw out a gratuitous mention of going to a “tit bar” (sic) with two “dudes”. Now you are looking at home prices in the Bay Area.

    Cheese and crackers, j…what next? Maybe a post about some promo running this week at the Ramrod?

    Please j, can we get back to investing and banking coin?

    Joe:

    Ummm I’m not gay and never had any interest men, not that it really matters these days anyway. I’m afraid I may have upset you in some way… well actually in a particular way… Is this about your height, joe?

    Look, I don’t dislike all short men, however I do dislike short dudes with napoleon complexes. If you’re short and don’t suffer this psychosis well and good. However if you do then deal with it.

    ————–

    anon:

    Dunno about your explanation. The Bay area is high tech etc. so it’s a leading sector of the US economy. if that area is lifting it’s important to watch, not necessarily the rest of the country, but important anyway.

    Real estate will not lead the country out of recession. That economics 101: Industrial production leads the country out of recession. However real estate has to also stabilize and the Bay area could be showing signs of that.

    The lagging co-incident indicators came yesterday which showed for the third month in a row now that the US economy has flattened out. it also may be indicating that next month will be up. If it is I will hang my name to the forecast that the US economy comes of recession in June affirmed by the lagging indicators in July.
