King, look at that JNPR chart again. Do you see the difference though? That chart has massive corrections on it. That stock did not go up every day for 300 days straight. I remember trading that market and it was almost impossible to stay long the market with the constant pullbacks. You had...

OK, so check this out. SPLV is a low volatility ETF that basically is a basket of the lowest 100 beta stocks in the SP 500. There is one for the highest 100 beta stocks as well. This ETF allows one to get defensive and stay long while lowering their portfolio beta. Nice concept. But look at...

New highs for Nikkei.

http://www.bespokeinvest.com/thinkbig/2013/5/16/bullish-sentiment-drops-for-first-time-in-five-weeks.html AAII actually showed less bulls this week. My God man, this will never stop. This chart shows that most people are watching this rally, not long it. Not saying we can't pull back, but...

Leave it to Zero Hedge for noticing the 1666 close (spooky). LOL. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-17/sp-1666 Exactly 1000 pts from the 666 low. Who is running this show?

ISEE went out near the lows, pretty bullish sign. Put buyers in full force all day long. Mantra continues to be, get long, buy puts, sit on hands.

Look at that squeeze into the close for the DAX. Brutal.

"Local" government should fix our potholes, streetlights, keep the streets safe, etc. At the federal level the government uses the commerce clause to regulate inter-state transportation that is the commerce that is transacted between states. This includes the regulation of the vehicles...

No, you already forgot. Maybe you need to make flashcards to help you remember. Tax cuts go to everyone, subsidies go to cronies. I can look for an online study guide if it will help you learn it faster.

Ricter you need to learn the difference between a tax cut and a subsidy. Tax cuts go to EVERYONE. Subsidies go to cronies. Discuss that at your next weekly comrade meetup event.

Yeah and the big picture in Iraq was regime change and creating peace in the middle east. When are you guys going to wake up and realize the government is NEVER going to get the big picture right. Let them fix our potholes, enforce our laws, police our streets, protect our borders and call it...

Yeah the ETF and index only reading is usually below 100 and is predominantly used for hedging. That's why I like to focus on the equity only. A side note, there are now a LOT of people trading weekly options and expiration day options so I can't honestly say how much of that today on the...

Then why do "rich" people need to get a subsidy that is paid for by hardworking middle class Americans? Think about this Trendlover. We are not talking about subsidizing cars for poor people (which I would also be against but would understand people for wanting to). We are talking about...

You are still barking down the wrong tree. I don't care who the government loans money to. God knows we have been financing dictators for decades. I do care when we subsidize private businesses. That is the government's way of pushing customers to a product or service of their choosing. And...

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-16/bill-gross-we-see-bubbles-everywhere Great comments from Gross as always. Some see dead people. He sees bubbles.

Yeah at market extremes you can get extreme readings on both sides. I can deduct why we most likely had a high reading there at the bottom having lived through that day. When the market was in freefall at that point, it was obvious that bottom was near and at the same time nobody was going to...

OK, a couple of things here. That 3k deduction is for retail traders, not professional traders. Second, professional traders can actually write off all their losses if they are setup properly. THAT I don't have an issue with and I will tell you why. For traders who risk THEIR capital and pay...

Sweetheart, it's not the loan that bothers me, it's the subsidy. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/18/unplug-the-electric-subsidies/

Everyone seems to fixated on the S&P but no one is talking about the Russell 2k. We are approaching a nice bit fat round number here at 1000. Just one percent away. As good as any other level to watch. Btw, this index bottomed at 339 I believe in 2009. A triple off the lows! Fwiw, ISEE...
