November 4th , 2009

Sorry for the delay. I have a big long meeting this morning and I couldn't get out.

The first target of SPY had been hit at 105. 106.5 is next.

  1. there is a good chance oil trades lower from here. Oil inventory numbers very deceiving. Oil imports are waaay down and refinery utilization a measely 80%. this is verrry bearish. not sure if it will matter today...but is will matter soon. Long DTO with a tight stop

  2. I'm short BIG.

    I've got 106.5 top and 104.5 bottom intraday.

    It's fed day, have fun.

  3. matt, i've got a small amount of SPXU and SRS and a pretty good sized position in DTO. Fed days are crazy and I tend to lighten up into the number

  4. do you chart the Vix?

    I had 26ish bottom and back to 35ish, maybe higher.

  5. yes, i see that it pulled back to where it broke out from an eight month downtrend. definitely one indicator to look at, but I do not trust it 100%. we could easily see 1070 on SnP. but that is only 10 points from todays high and we may see it on a head fake spike after Fed numbers. I will short on a spike (if market rallies on news) and cover on a sell off (if market sells off initially on news).

  6. I am on the sideline right now until the FED speaks. I don't like any news at all.

  8. Don't forget CSCO reports AH. My observation is CSCO and INTC take the NASDAQ with them, while AAPL and MSFT do not affect the market as much. May be it has to do with sector weights.

  9. Do you guys want the market to go higher or lower from here?

    ReplyDelete
  10. The market is calm before the big storm.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I don't care, just want to know where it's going.

    ReplyDelete
  12. LOWER. I would not mind a retest to 1070 or so, but then I want to seek market get slaughtered. did you see AEM today. Gold at all time highs and it looks like chit.

    WTF?

    ReplyDelete
  16. hmm? think I will hold off on that GG purchase. UUP 23 by Nov 9 would be a pretty big move and would smack the market (& oil). sweet. nice find. is it a hedge or a bet?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Now here comes the wild swings back and forth.

    ReplyDelete
  18. yeah, option spreads just widened

    ReplyDelete
  19. SPY volume running at -17%. Volume probably crash this after the decision.

    ReplyDelete
  20. this is going to CRRRRRASH....

    106.23 and 106.16 are on the same line from the bottoms of 10/16 and 10/22

    ReplyDelete
  21. volume comes in and stop losses trigger

    ReplyDelete
  22. with interest rates climbing on news, i gotta throw out a few shorts to test the waters

    ReplyDelete
  23. Still it is only -5% volume on SPY. A lot more to go.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Huge volume on UUP today.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Lots of shake and bake. Who will prevail today?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I have not a clue. this is ridiculous. the NYSE, the largest casino in the world. what a f'n joke.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Why is anyone surprised by what the jackasses at the FED had to say. of course they are gonna print money into eternity and keep interest rates at near zero and "say" there is not inflation. Guess I am the only one who knew what to expect. I would be selling this news, but the powers that be are caught off guard and are celebrating (again) the fact that we have low interest rates. too damn funny

    ReplyDelete
  28. Dollar may rally from here. news is out, no reason to sell it now. also, matt pointed out huge call volume on Nov 9 UUP at 23. lets see how dollar closes today. I am looking for a small rally in $

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't think we're going higher than 106.01, taking too long.

    I don't know.....low rates for an "extended period of time"

  30. After one hour since Fed spoke, the market is back where it was before.

  31. Keeping rates low and reaffirming that statement mean only one thing...Our economy sucks and will continue to suck so we are gonna print so much damn money that all the bad commercial loans on bank's books will eventually be in the black b/c the U.S. dollar will be worth pennies. so, a half million dollar loan today will only be a 50 thousand dollar loan (in reality) in five years. brilliant. except that food & fuel will cost a fortune and the common man will be flat broke on a real dollar basis. Our gov't sucks

  32. Not a very good showing for getting what they asked for. F'em

    ReplyDelete
  33. Would be a f ing riot if we close flat.

    ReplyDelete
  34. i got 104.9 as a possible low.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The market was trying to close the morning gap. It was very close to it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Now SPY had closed the morning gap. The QQQQ missed by 2 cents.

    ReplyDelete

  38. this looks like a short term bottom on the dollar. huge volume on UUP with a close on 20mda

    ReplyDelete
  39. quote from bob PISSoni, "we faded a little bit in last half hour". Are you F'n kidding me. what a total ass that guys is. That was a mini crash. I love it.

    ReplyDelete
