    A thing of beauty.

    Fly,

    I am ready to become a gentleman after being a piker for a few weeks – I’m hooked. Do I e-mail someone to make the switch or execute the switch through the site?

    Many thanks.

    Is it possible to go back to 2008 and see what the chart would look like and how well PPT would have worked during the Lehman collapse?

        What are the PPT values for those days in early October 2008? It would be helpful if the PPT values could be shown as a daily time series on the chart.

      I win either way. Don’t plan on selling for a few years. I’ve been holding since the 2008 crash. If I get another opportunity like that, so be it. Otherwise, I win anyway.

      The jump up to 1100 should provide you with a good opportunity
      If we get over 1105 decisively, cover everything though

        All the uncertainty allows my large cap approach to outperform. We’re working out a bottom here. The VIX is predictably creating a head and shoulders. There’s still risk, but it’s irrelevant to my method.

            Could be 2 to 10 I suppose. Depends on the circumstances I guess.
            I’d probably live out of a cardboard box drinking MD20 before selling this year.

    Crap volume but we edged out of our downtrend line slightly – tomorrow will be key
    Anything other than a dump would be a real win
    Of course as Scott pointed out expect a jump to 1100ish out of the open

    If tomorrow pans out I will start a few positions next week although the 50 and 200 still looms large so I won’t be going ‘all in’ yet

    This was the worry list from a week ago:

    1. Hungary Default
    2. US Unemployment
    3. Euro Zone
    4. China Slowing Down
    5. China Housing Bubble
    6. Mutual Funds – No Cash
    7. Rates Dropping = Deflation
    8. Yen Carry unraveling
    9. Euro Banks and need for more cash

    What has changed in the past week? It seems that there is some hope that #4 and #5 are being managed expertly by the communists based on last nights import/export data. I believe that Spain’s issuance went well as well, so there is some hope there. Yen has also stabilized over the past two days and appears to be coming off while the Euro bounces back. All this leads to short covering only at this point I speculate. What else?

    I FOUND IT…..I FOUND THE REASON why I messed up on the Bond Auction!!
    Some how in my mind I thought the BID to Cover from last months Auction was 2.96 and that number was the lowest in the year….I HAVE NO idea why 2.96 was in my head??????? Looking at the data tonight, I had in my last weeks article 2.60!!!!! NOT 2.96!!!! that is why I was so confused why everyone thought it was such a good auction. Was driving me crazy, and it turns out it was a lameass Math Mistake, and it actually was an OK auction but Yield was higher. I know it doesn’t matter to most, but it was confusing the heck out of me in what I missed…….

        Most of the good places want you to rent at least a week.

        Prince George Island, Kiawah or Seabrook Islands are my places of choice. Sea Island, Ga may do you a weekend at their resort.

      Maybe he thinks the ocean currents will turn the southern and east coasts nice and oily. Then the shit collapses and belches a firestorm of methane and magma and creates a sunami of burning oil reaching deep into the south and igniting DC. He’ll just surround himself with his European Union brothers and say “look at me now mutha fuckas”.

Allow us the “bullshit bravado bullshit” for one evening given that we just came off our near perfect positioning in the market PRIOR to the market moving, and we now enjoy (for one evening) the fruits of hard fought, balls of steel victory. After implementing the picture perfect strategy based on the PPT, you bet your ass we will thump our chest a bit (if only for one night). Jesus fuck – who invited the skunk to the party?

      This is why we have the bullshit bravado – The toughest part of trading is having the balls to step up and buy when the crowd is against this approach, or selling when the crowd is firmly in the camp of the rally. It is tougher than it seems. You see, it’s not buying when some turn bullish but a majority are bearish – ya know, “let the market come back 5-10% then I will purchase when it is serious about coming up”. No, I mean when the market is continuously puking its guts out and No ONE wants a fucking thing to do with it and everyone is in agreement that there is much, much more room to go down AND it is on the edge of the cliff kicking stones over the side. It truly does measure the size of ones testicles. You doubt yourself as well as the market flings feces against your positions because there is no way that you caught the dead bottom or top. When you go from 45% cash to 25% cash and eliminated all of your shorts and the market still goes against you. How much confidence do you have in yourself then? When you see an afternoon puke when you are 75% plus on the long side and 0% short. That is why most traders fail. They typically would bail out of the longs or load up on the shorts when this happens only to have the market rip up in their face the next day. However, the sense of satisfaction one has when the market rips AFTER you make the proper move is great. You believe, if for only one day, that you can dance the tango with this bitch. However, you quickly forget that because Mother Market can easily drop you on your ass while you are smiling and taking it all in. Allow us one fine glass of Bordeaux tonight my friend.

    Futures pointing down and the financial news headlines in the US have done a 180…. however, my breadth system is showing that there’s a high probability we shrug off the negativity by the end of the day and rally again. Breadth was too broad on the long side yesterday and it impacted the techncials too much. The algorithms are seeing this just like I am. Ride with the big boys today.

    I may need to pick up some oil stocks and ETFs today… 😉

    International central bankers don’t give a piss about the environment, even though they will wag their Agenda 21 crap in your face all day long through their purchased media mouths, as demonstrated by their unwillingness to use a small nuke on this oil leak. The Russians did it five times in the past. We aren’t going to do it because it would make nuclear power in the US look like a prized champion, and we can’t have that with Agenda 21 world repression just around the corner. Free energy advocates will be crushed at all costs.

          In fact, nuke “option” might have been tried and failed and made it worse. Complete obscuration of what is happening down there is what is going on. No one outside gov’t or BP knows what they have done or are doing.

      Isn’t it safer to detonate underwater, since there’s no fallout?

      IMO, nationalization of oil companies is likely where this is headed. Our govt is at least 50% oil corp controlled already. I guess “nationalization” sounds better than “fascism” in the news media. Creates less resistance.
