Nothing, but the odds of that happening is extremely low. I'd very much rather bet on the lottery.

Unfortunately, this is how crooked wall street works, central bankers have bailed out wall street bankers many times before and they will do it again because they cant afford to have banks fail. Consensus is a 50/50 chance on a 25bps cut or 50 bps cut, you should be looking at the Oct...

The industry (according to FF futures) is 50/50 on whether the cut will be a 25 bps cut or a 50 bps cut, but the consensus is fed will cut. What we have here is different, 40% thinks fed will not cut, and 60% thinks fed will cut. I'm certain that fed will cut because the bond market has only...

Dont be silly, a fed cut is almost a done deal now. Bernanke will not want to take the blame if the economy goes into a recession. Im looking for a 25 basis pts cut, treasuries will most probably sell off on fed day because they are pricing in a possible 50 now.

Yea, its almost like revenge trading, been there done that lol.

This is probably also known as "revenge trades". Some traders will inevitably make bad trades because they get over eager in their attempt to "recoup" what they have lost, just like gamblers do. It can be a loss earlier in the day, the day before, or a loss just minutes ago. The...

Its definitely not possible to scalp it anymore, but swing trading is still possible, albeit with enormous risk. :D

Rofl, looks like China is really flooded with too much liquidity right now.

You'd think that with all that bad news the market should close significantly lower, but it didnt.

Most probably due to options expiration, given the huge open interest on SPX puts. Somehow I dont think the momentum will carry over onto Friday, most ppl arent buying this bullshit reversal.

The volatility is insane. 3 x 200 point whipsaws in a day.

Looks like that ain't gonna happen.

Brilliant call.

Havent you heard? Its the Quant funds. The traders on ET are beating the Quant funds. :D

Ditto. I don't know anyone who can make money consistently with this kind of volatility, but maybe the ppl I know just suck. :(

The futures are pricing in armageddon or something? :p

This is stupid. You can call it an educated guess, high probability guess, or whatever but that doesnt change the fact that you are making a prediction whenever you trade.

I agree. Traders want a market with a discernible trend and decent volatility, they dont want one with violent whipsaws every 5 mins.

Rofl STFU already.

Myths and legends bin.
