What makes you think that?

To answer the question as you asked, you are correct. This is why GSCI has lost money, the rolls in this steep contango are offsetting directional appreciation. But like others said, you can't assume it will always be in contango.

Floor locals still trade a large chunk of daily volume, they just do most of it on globex themselves. At 1.30 when the closing bell rings, most still go to the bar, hence the falloff in volume.

Count me as another bear then, I am selling ES on the close today to play what I expect to be asian weakness on Sunday night due to some changes in China. I also have a hunch we may see some further controls talked about this weekend in China to cool the market. Maybe even have a policy...

Time to sell natty. Anything over $8.20 in June should pay off nicely into settlement. The S/D balance is quite loose at this juncture and the funds have been trying to orchestrate a short covering rally that has really never gained steam.

You always say it is no big deal, it is minor information. I suppose you will finally think something is not so minor when you get a margin call.

BINGO!!!!! What you just said is the whole point of the post (adding inventory is bearish, not bullish).

Your logic would be true IF we were concerned about the homebuilder. We are talking about the broad economy however, the one that has had a larger part of GDP tied to increasing home values and the mortgage equity withdrawals that have fueled a large part of consumer spending. Increasing...

Funny thing the human mind, how people take a piece of data and come to different conclusions. If the housing #'s look weak, the market will respond to the downside, and vice versa. In reality, isn't it more logical to think that lower #'s are more supportive as this will help to...

definitely the 5th sign of the apocalypse.

Obviously you know nothing about arbitrage. Arbitrage doesn't care which direction and to what magnitude a market moves, it is just a differential. Where were these supercomputers on 2/27?? A Silcon holiday perhaps?

Does anyone here know if there are derivatives traded on the Shanghai index, or is it just a pure index of stock trades with no way to lay off risks or trade around the clock? I know from reading that there are no products for us to play with, but are there any for chinese investors to use?

when i wake up i hope to see it settled at 3,500. :D :D :D :D :D goodnight all!!

now negative on session. They are running for the door now. :eek: :eek: :eek:

May see that pullback now, as in rest of tonights session, a selloff on profit taking now that 4K has been achieved and the gov is warning of a bubble.

Sure they are!! look... http://www.palmsales.ca/

Don't forget an easy way to get rid of all this "printed money", a global equity meltdown. Money vanishing before your eyes, liquidity gone.

the timing is impeccable!!!!! "It isn't just the Energizer Bunny nature of the major indexes that has spurred talk of a denouement, though. Frenetic deal activity, record financial-system leverage and unprecedented public fascination with successful money managers are other indicators of...

and of course... Tom Petty, "Learning to Fly" ".....Well the good old days may not return And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn Im learning to fly but I aint got wings Comin down is the hardest thing........"
