Comments »Black Toast
Technicals are hard to call during extremely volatile markets, but it would appear as of this morning that the S&P is toast.
IMO Were looking at a test of 1045 area with a possible breach of 1000.
So don’t be afraid to keep your powder dry a little while longer.
Given all the news one would think gold would be up. This is the only curious trade i can not figure out momentarily, but longer term this should be a buying opportunity.
Here was a piece FYI on $1700 gold
At any rate, the t.v. keeps talking about hope. I say fuck hope given a possible banking contagion.
The markets still have some resilience despite all the negativity. Look for the 1140 level on today’s close. Below that we have 1120, 1100, 1045, 990. Thankfully the S&P has bounced off the 50 day of 1132ish. Let’s hope for a hold of this area, but I will not bet on it.
Oversold territory has only been a bounce effect lately. I suppose it is important to note that we are very oversold.
The 1050 area tested last June feels like the magnet area to where we might get pulled down too.
Good luck to all.

G20 Worries Over Contagion
Europe must have taken stupid pills as they have still not made any decisive actions to get ahead of the curb. G20 nations freak out over contagion writing a letter pleading for some sense of leadership.

Had enough of being the police. Take care of home and citizens first before looking beyond our borders. Please no comments on how we need to be the police of the world. Our foreign policy helped greatly to force us into that position.
