It's kind of like Star Trek where the US monetary policy is boldly going where no man has gone before. We never had a world reserve currency country in full throttle quantitative easing. If the ES cracks, you already know what Janet Yellen will do. This is where being too tied to history, i.e...

We all thought margin debt peaked back in April. WRONG :eek: http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2013/10/21/margin-debt-hits-new-high/

Both economy and stocks are an issue. The Fed is trying to use stocks (and rising real estate prices) to create a wealth effect. The economy is only responding unenthusiastically. Fed's answer is to do more. What's next for LSAPs? REITs? Junk bonds? How about some Hollywood memorabilia? I would...

I think QE would be increased if or when stocks stop responding to current QE of $85 billion per month.

Interesting ... maybe portends a bigger than normal fall. Certainly looking at a 5 year chart one can sense the amount of "potential energy" stored in that trading range from 2011 to 2013. This may be concurrent with the stock market down and bonds up ... then we all know what the Federal...

That whole run up into the Syria situation is now being unwound. Declining oil demand from impending recession is consistent with Bonds trading strong, as well as gold strength recently (except for today, of course) from expectation of delayed QE tapering.

NFLX could be the proverbial canary in the coal mine. High PE stocks sooner or later fall from the weight of overvaluation. Even with today's correction, it's still at a staggering 402 times earnings. Icahn calling NFLX still highly undervalued is being disingenuous, especially since he sold...

I like the action in Gold. Long. I was previously wrong about expecting downside breakdown.

Go for the gold :eek: :)

Because they think it's going higher, maybe a lot higher. Someone who bought a seemingly high TSLA at $100 has been rewarded. Same for those who bought seemingly high AMZN @ $200.

Peter Brandt called a head and shoulders top in GOOG the day it bottomed and then soared into earnings. http://peterlbrandt.com/head-shoulders-rest-google-forming-textbook-top/

Where did I write about asking you to do the hard work for me? I wasn't even asking for your advice. I'm merely saying its a lot harder to make 20, 50, or 100x than it seems, whereas you seem to imply that you can to it with some regularity. You must be an options trading millionaire! As Neke...

So how many times have you made 20x or 50x on an options trade compared to the # of times you lost 100% of your options premium paid?

Strike out lots of times before hitting your "lottery ticket," if ever.

Site below has data on the etf GLD's # of tonnes. It continues to make new lows as investors divest themselves of GLD, thus putting some downside pressure on the gold price. http://www.spdrgoldshares.com/usa/historical-data/

Shorting stocks is the way to the poorhouse in this market. Nasdaq is about to go vertical above its upper channel line, imo. You ain't seen nothing yet!

Watch bonds. In early stage of major run-up back to old highs. Maybe it's forecasting a recession. Ray Dalio had been long since 1 or 2 months ago.

Good call.
