October 1st, 2009

I just came back from the meeting. Sorry for the late morning post. I am expecting SPY will trade in the 105ish area today. If the market opens down, play the gap.

  2. Volume hesitating, Needs to see SPY 104.2 before climb back up. My opinion.

  3. In two weeks, big name companies are reporting earnings. INTC, JNJ, AMD, GS, C, IBM, BAC, GE.

    If you haven't noticed it, I have a link to the left on my past performance. All of my selective picks that I lost were under 1%.

  4. SPY have a two dollar range between 104.50 area to 106.50 area. If it breaks either of the range with strong white or black bar and close outside of the range, favor that direction. In the meantime, trade back and forth within the range.

  5. Thinking about going long on CAR for a daytrade. Nothing seems to be able to stop it.

  6. Don't misled by the VIX in the media. When VIX is going up, it doesn't mean the stock market is going down. VIX is a measure of implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. It means that if VIX is high, then the premium of the option will be high. This will affect on put as well as call options. Other investors take it as "fear" index.

  8. I believe we have hit the bottom for today on SPY and QQQQ. I just bought QQQQ at 41.30.

  9. gcl,
    i'm gonn a ride your coat tails on that one. I'm in for 1000 qqqq's

    ReplyDelete
  10. don't u think it is too dangerous to get in SSO and QQQQ
    Maybe the trend had changed today
    unless u are day trader and try to make small profit

    ReplyDelete
  11. Yes, I am just trading it. Not a high probability trade, but will give it a bit to run and will eat the loss if it rolls too hard.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I am doing this for a small pop or retracement back up. I am looking for QQQQ to go back up to 31.57 or SPY 104.20.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Sorry for the type on the last post. It should stated at 41.57, not 31.57.

    JDT, at what price of QQQQ did you get?

    ReplyDelete
  14. sold half my QQQQ at 41.37, not feeling to great about being long

    ReplyDelete
  15. The numbers just spit out. The targets for QQQQ is at 41.57 and SPY 104.20. These targets are intermediate targets. There is shot that SPY could go back up to 105 and QQQQ at 41.85.

  16. What we have is real sellers in the market and wants to lock in profits. I dont see any bounce in the cards. Any bounce will be opportunity to sell.You want to sell short in this market. Volume is picking up in this market.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I have to agree. If we get a good lunch time bounce I will go short.

    ReplyDelete
  18. For QQQQs today's low is also 3-week low, if we go below it would quickly accelerate to the downside.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Umm?? back in with 2500 SSO at 32.98 with stop at new lows. May be a lunch time shim sham.

    ReplyDelete
  20. that may have been a short term bottom on SPY

    ReplyDelete
  21. I would say short term bottom around 101.6 and 101.9. there was a unfilled gap. That is where the trend line from march and july bottom connects.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well, I still believe that the market will bounce back up to my targets. Here's why.

    Do you remember my original targets for CLF and GOLD short positions? There were 30 for CLF and 66 for GOLD. GOLD had hit 66.06 and CLF had hit 30.70.

    Other stocks that broke out couple weeks ago, those stocks went back down to where it broke out. Trust me on this. The targets I mentioned earlier in the posts will be hit.

  23. ENER had hit the bottom at 11 and AMZN hand't broke down below 90 yet. Also NOC hadn't broke down below 50 yet.

    ReplyDelete
  24. gcl, probably tomorrow morning then falls back

    ReplyDelete
  25. I was reading some dudes prediction Black Monday on Oct 19.. monday after options expiration. Just like in Oct 19, 1987.

    ReplyDelete
  26. fellas, Erin Burnett is HOT!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. All the CNBC female analysts or reporters are hot.
    They hired all the how women to be in show to attract guys like we are. I agree with Erin. I just love watching her.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Sorry for the last post about how women. It should be "hot" women.

    ReplyDelete
  29. gcl, you can have sue herera, she is all yours

    ReplyDelete
  30. Adding shorts SPY 103.90, will close around 12:45

    ReplyDelete
  31. Here is a link of CNBC reporters. Enjoy!

  33. btw, gcl, did you go to Penn St?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Matt, yeah, why did you asked?

    ReplyDelete
  35. because the Iowa Hawkeyes got you again.

    That was a bummer cause I like Penn St.

    ReplyDelete
  36. How did you figure it out that I graduated from Penn State? When I was there, we have the best football team in '94, I think. Kerry Collins was the quarterback and that year the team went undefeated. I can't believe Joe Paterno is still coaching.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Covered SPY 103.6. Had to go for lunch.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah, KiJana Carter too, who didn't do well in the NFL.....

    i think you mentioned it in previous conversation when you first started the blog.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I met Glenn Robinsion and Joe Ameachi. Joe Ameachi was playing center for the basketball team. He played for NBA couple years and he was gone. Later he mentioned to the world that he was gay. Glenn Robinson is the star for Purdue basketball team. I saw him played against Penn State. I took pictures of him before he drafted #1 in NBA. He did ok in NBA career.

    ReplyDelete
  40. It should be John Amaechi, not Joe Amaechi.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I blew out of my SSO at 32.92

    ReplyDelete
  42. Almost everything dropped back down to the support level. Watch for occasionally bounce every now and then. Lots of panic selling and stop limit loss were hit in the last 10 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Something caught my eyes. The first day of September of trading was down big too. It had the reversal. It closed below the 13 day moving. The next day it traded in a narrow range. From that day, the market shot higher. Is today action similar to that day? Watch for narrow range trading tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Actually, today's action. violated SPY and $SPX trendlines from March and July lows. Not good for longs. Not good for any bullish bets. Tells me tomorrows jobs number going to stink market does not care. It will sell off.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Re: my previous comment, those trendlines drawn in log scale. In linear scale they are still intact. I would still say we are heading to 101.9 for sure in near term to test the trend line and fill the gap for SPY.

    ReplyDelete
  46. S Mantra 101.9 is only one point away, it could easily be hit and then possibly a bit of support around that level. Depending on where market opens, I will sell short until that 101.9 level is reached. I am hoping for a fake gap up on bs jobs data for a decent entry. May not get it though.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I took a small short position before job numbers came out. I covered for small profit. looking for small bounce and then for market to not hold 50 dma. Too many people expecting it to hold. i will repurchase SDS on bounce in SnP

    ReplyDelete
  48. Long SDS @ 42.95 and will add on any pull back this am
