Flip Floppin’ Thurday – Draghi And Williams Top Us Off
We NEED to see that 1,975 line retaken today or back to bear we go!
Which Way Wednesday – Fed Minutes At 2pm!
When did we forget that markets do not go straight up forever? Has the constant Fed meddling left us with nothing but skittish investors, who cut and run at the first inkling of pain?
Testy Tuesday – 1,975 Or BUST!
The Fed doves have their say for the next two days and then we go into a hawkish nosedive on Thursday and Friday, so this little drama is just getting started.
Market Mayhem – 12 Fed Speeches In 5 Days Causes Chaos
Get ready for a wild week. FOMC minutes are released on Wednesday at 2pm and there are a record 12 Fed speeches in the days that surround them.
Non-Farm Friday – Will Jobs Report Restore Market Confidence?
They say you can't keep a good market down but it remains to be seen whether or not we have a good market with almost all of August and September's BS gains erased just 3 days into October.
Thrilling Thursday – Can Super Mario Save The Markets?
As with skiing, a nice drop can be lots of fun – if you are ready for it. If not, things can get broken…
Weakening Wednesday – Market Picture Begins To Look Grim
We've failed the 50 dma on the S&P, Nasdaq, NYSE and Russell and the Russell failed its 200 dma long ago. We're still waiting for the Dow to cross below 16,940 and confirm the carnage but we made those bets long ago with our DXD Oct $24 calls, which are now 0.70 from our 0.45 entry back on 9/18.
Testy Tuesday – Dressing The Windows At Our Bounce Lines
EBAY has finally agreed to spin off PayPal and that's going to give us a nice boost.
Monday’s Mixed Signals – Time To Dress The Windows?
We're up, we're down and over and out – but That's Life in the markets, right? Life is being good to our Short-Term Portfolio, now up 59.2% for the year as we caught the bearish move very nicely.
$5,000 Friday – How To Profit From Market Corrections
Even a straight purchase of TZA gained 13% in 3 days, 5:1 leverage without even using options
Thrilling Thursday – S&P 2,000!!! Again…
Markets do indeed go up AND down on a pretty regular basis and we've made a lot of bottom calls this week, adding more long positions as we got a nice pullback.
Will We Hold It Wednesday – Global Correction Edition
The Nasdaq is down 4%, Russell is down 5%, the Hang Seng is down 6% and the FTSE is down 3.6% but barely a pause from the rest of our Global Indexes. Why a tiny correction isn't the end of the world.
Technical Tuesday – Rejected, Rejected, Rejected!
So much for 2,000 holding. Fortunately, our Big Chart kept us cautiously bearish into the weekend and the hedges in our Short-Term Portfolio functioned perfectly, gaining $13,000 on the day and completely offsetting the drop of $8,000 in our Long-Term Portfolio.
Monday Market Outlook – Finally Over S&P 2,000 – Now What?
It was a really ugly hold but we did hold 2,000 on the S&P all day long on Friday and that, as I've said for a long time, is finally a signal we need to do a little bottom-fishing.
Fabulous Friday – Our Alibaba Play Pays Off Big!
How, you may wonder? Well, two ways: Back in October of 2007, before Alibaba IPO'd in China, I was touting the company when it had an $8Bn valuation ($1.10 per share – pre-split).
Thrilling Thursday – S&P 2,000…. Again…
Despite the HUGE rally signals, I remained skeptical and said we needed to confirm 17,160 on the Dow and 11,000 on the NYSE before we even began thinking of looking for our real bullish goals of 1,200 on the Russell and 17,600 on the Dow.
