Another fine hiccup in our markets this afternoon, to add to the fun AAPL gave us... Bloomberg: Exchange software update drops SPY 9.6% in after hours

If you can afford to use older libraries (i.e. not the bleeding-edge), debian is a more stable distro and actually the upstream source of the ubuntu project

Intel beat after lowering guidance... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/28/technology/companies/28chip.html I think JPM is getting hit by lower top-line growth and the mortgage closure mess

If there is anything that can derail this QE2 rally for a while, it will be this

The dollar was on a pretty nice rip north early this morning and actually went through the upper BB... but QE2 seems to have sucked the wind out of a dollar rally for now.

I'm not sure China is the only offender with the Fed printing press going warp 9, but it's an interesting article... --- http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f4dd9122-d22a-11df-8fbe-00144feabdc0.html China must fix the global currency crisis By George Soros Published: October 7 2010 19:40 |...

Why should inflation on a population with 10% unemployment, stagnant job growth, aging workers, and massive personal / structural debts be a net gain for the market? Inflation (which could get brutal soon, considering the coincidentally lower agricultural yields this season) stands ready to...

The point, which is understandably not well-received, is that a fill doesn't always mean it's going in your favor. You're an incurable bull... and the Fed / short-termism works in your favor these days. When the realities of inflation, currency wars or worse hit, the bears will be happy to...

Maybe they're doing you a favor :D Trees don't grow to the sky... everything has a limit. Maybe we go higher than this, but something has to be too high.

Many analysts also agree that QE2 is already priced in... thus this bad news won't spur more stimulus than we already appreciated on

I think you should grab your shorts before it drops through 50

Genius, perhaps you could learn to read. I said ICI's stats don't include ETFs.

But those stats are only for mutual funds and don't account for ETFs, which seem to be the instrument of choice these days. I'm not sure where to find comparable ETF info... thoughts?

Maybe you're right, but at 1340 ET, I think it's premature to call bottom on NQ, particularly with the activity on DX today... DX has long green candles, and short red candles. If that continues, NQ 1995 may not be the lowest we see.

get short, NQ about to fall off...

What's up with the support for the dollar today? Edit: Since 9am, DX has been on a ride up starting at 77.19 and currently at 77.82... this is trashing ES bulls

This isn't comprehensive treatment of reversals, but I found it educational... tlow has a journal where they discussed a pretty rapid reversal following an FOMC announcement in August of this year. Details here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2939231 Check out page 2...

A dubious honor... the winner gets hyper-inflation and lower purchasing power

Since the currency markets are driving gains in equities, the same is happening on the other side of the fence... sounds like we're building an explosive situation to go either one way or another...

I'm not sure I understand this... The Japanese weakened the yen overnight, which made the dollar take a dive... shouldn't the dollar strengthen when the yen is weaker?
