Scared Yet?

The Brazilian exchange is up 1,200 points today. Asia was strong, as well as Europe. In my estimation, at the risk of a self inflicted castration, there is no fucking way we reverse lower, like we did yesterday. I see GS diving lower. I know, being long 10,000 shares. I see they knocked down SHLD and are trying to knock down X. I know what’s going on.

See, the bears need today. They are trying their best to suck the life out of this rally, to make it vulnerable to a late day reversal, which would definitely destroy any semblance of moral left in this tape. Should the market reverse today, we’re going to tank in fairly short order. Because of this wild eyed theory of mine, I do not think the market will reverse, not after yesterday’s debacle.

The overall breadth of the market is still incredibly strong. I believe in this move so much, I have reduced my cash position to 10%. This is as far as I will go.

In other words: I am “all in.”

        FLY’S Right on the money today…This tape has a complete different feel to it then yesterday.
        IMO, We’re going higher into the close on more short covering and legit buying as well.

            Watching the direct FX market and about 20 pairs and movements not just a sole etf….still not sure why Cnbc sugar coated a weaker auction, unless I am missing something in my analysis of the auction…then it is totally not meaningless cuz I can correct my understanding of the auction results…so Fly was it a good auction?? Where is my analysis wrong?

            OK, but I need to…cuz still learning…..I think I get it, The bond market didn’t respond to the weaker demand for the bonds cuz they are seeing it as a “Need for less Safety” vs “Less are buying our stuff”……….and the bond people already priced that in based on last months auction? Eur/USD still can’t get thru their 50% retrace….btw next time when the FLY goes all long I think I will just close my shorts and not wait for bigger picture..

            You are thinking too much. Go long the stuff that goes up and short the ones going down. That is all. Wall Street changes what it looks at as key indicators almost weekly and since TradeBots control about 75% of daily volume it doesn’t matter. Now that could be depressing if you think too much.

            I may be kicked a thousand times but I think there is actual thought behind all of this….if there wasn’t, then I would just build a bot and not even waste my time…..I know the stats already on programmed trades….and yes, Fly’s O/B O/S indicator at PPT worked perfect…yet, I need to learn.

            You don’t need to learn all that much. You need to become in tune with the markets vibe. Trade with instinct, more than your mind.

            Also, the PPT will help you think, without actually thinking.

            Fly speaks the truth if one is a trader but it takes years of experience to trade with instinct and the ebb and flow of the market and most do not last. Investors are a different story. Get a job, get a paycheck and dollar cost average into etfs or mutual funds and one can follow the oversold and overbought indicators, on PPT or otherwise, to lighten up or accelerate purchases. And don’t be afraid to take profits. We just finished one lost decade and are about to have another.

            I LOVE TO THINK…that is why I am drawn to all of this, If I couldn’t think I would find no interest. But just like every part of this game there is new Parts of it I must learn.
            That is why I came to you Teacher for this new lesson. BUT please, don’t make me read Analyst reports or agree w/that lame Abbey Cohen or FCX up grades…..
            hey eur/usd still not breaking that key resistance…and yes Yen movement follows with them…..it’s one inter related package.

            The BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE: BPT) is a United States oil and natural gas royalty trust based in New York, New York. With a market capitalization of US$ 1.6 billion in early 2008, and an average trading volume of 121,000 shares, BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust is the largest conventional oil and gas trust in the United States. Its assets are in the huge Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, the largest oil field in North America, and at the end of 2006 the Trust claimed to have proved reserves of 85.1 million barrels of crude oil.

            Standard Oil Company and BP Exploration, both now branches of British Petroleum, set up the trust in 1989. They distribute royalties on a portion of the oil produced from the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field, typically 16% of the first 90,000 barrels of net daily production. In their 2006 Annual Report, the Trust estimated it would continue to make royalty payouts through at least the year 2024

    “The plebs were the general body of Roman citizens (as distinguished from slaves) in Ancient Rome. They were distinct from the higher order of the patricians. A member of the plebs was known as a plebeian (Latin: plebeius). This term is used today to refer to one who is or appears to be of the middle or lower order; however, in Rome plebeians could become quite wealthy and influential”

    The IYR is looking too overheated here into last hour,which should stall further XLF rise into the bell. SPY could fall to its R1 pivot

    However, there is a tightly consolidated symmetrical triangle in GS 5 min chart. If it explodes upward,its taking XLF with it. Just like BP led the squeeze this morning, next squeeze up needs the squid to participate

      BP is going to at least the low 20s to mid 20s. Remember all of those people trying to catch falling knives with BSC (Bear Sterns), LEH, and C was supposed to be cheap at about 28-30. The cheap will get cheaper. Better hedge if you insist on gambling.

      If there was more time, I would recommend that you declare +400, as a benevolent act for the plebs.

    What’s up with the ‘yousearenuts’ post always appearing as the last comment?

    Is it a “sign” to be heeded?

    Why is alphadawg’s return being treated like some magnificent homecoming? You guys spent months on the way up making his name into a joke. And rightfully so. The guy was pitifully wrong. Now the market crashes, he reappears (likely looking to bathe in undeserved apologies), and we’re all pretending it’s water under the bridge?

      NOT TRUE.

      Alpha was bullish before any of us and did great. What the fuck are you talking about?

          Right.

          Confusing Devil Dog with me is like confusing George Costanza with Indiana Jones.

          Besides, I hate the devil, devils wearing Prada and deviled eggs.

      @Kerchew – Asshat you are confusing DevilDog with AlphaDawgg. Get a life or maybe hooked on phonics for reading comprehension.
