    Good day trading instruments(futures) and their symbols in tradestation.

    Pay the $5.00 fee and get the e-mini quotes for the crude and nat-gas contracts. Well worth the money, especially if you are trading stocks in the OIL SECTOR, and airlines too. In RealTick, the symbols are /QMG7 ( crude ) and /QGG7 (nat-gas) for the February contracts.

    call me crazy buying OIH and GLD here

    Blew thru the early November low at 129.91, but came back up into the previous day's range. Overshot 61.8% fib ratio. All MA's are moving down hard. Oversold means nothing in a BEAR trend. Can stay oversold for quite some time. Keep your sell-stops tight.

    Bernanke Speaks 1:45 Eastern Time!!

    Exactly. People like him ( who marry their bias and look for ONLY what they want to SEE ) get carried out of the S&P pit. I should know, I traded stock-indexes succesfully on the floor for 10 years. And when the market "gaps" open and blows their "shorts" away ( during the thin Holiday...

    Job numbers 167,000

    The 167,000 is a nice number, especially on the backs of several previous month revisions. But let's face it, this number probably got pumped up by about 30,000 due to the weather. Dec. numbers can often be volatile and subject to revision. No big deal here.

    Finding crude bottom

    Heating Oil DEMAND appears to be running anywhere from 20-30% below normal for most of the last 5 weeks. Out of all of the products, heating oil looks to be the weakest by far. In fact, after yesterday's break below $1.59 you really can't see anything on the charts until the $1.42 level...

    Dual monitors feature in Window XP ?

    If you want to run MULTI-DISPLAYS ( and not just "clones" of each other ) go to the Nvidia website and download their software program ( for Free ) entitled . . . nView Multi-Display Technology http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nview.html Very simple. And very effective!

    Finding crude bottom

    Ahhhhh, yes! I hear that they are charging between $2.77 and $2.83 for Premium unleaded out there. But then again, CALIFORNIA uses its own "reforumlated" gasoline and is not fungible to other markets. Their premium is also only 91 octane. Bummer.

    CNBC clueless

    Right now, the BOND market is at nearly a historical extreme in relationship to where the S&P is trading. In fact, BONDS are at the same place right now, as stocks were back in March of 2000.

    These Indices are about to rollover!!!

    Today's market action successfully tested yesterday's 1407.86 low with today's low at 1408.22 The late-afternoon move back above 1417.97 tells you that a short-term low is in. :)

    what a reversal!

    Excuse me, but the valuation "gap" between BONDS and STOCKS is at a level that is near historic extremes . . . meaning that the BOND market is at the same level of valuation ( relative to stocks ) as the stockmarket was back in March of 2000. If anything, BONDS are a STRONG SALE here. :p

    what a reversal!

    Must "we" be reminded of the FACT that the energy complex makes up a significant "weighting" in the S&P? Duh. :D

    somebody/sec should investigate this futures crap!

    Agreed. Bluestreek's whining is really getting old. Time for another "hobby", dude. :)

    Gee......i Feel Really Great About Holding These Dogs For 4 Days!!!

    Yet another Perma-Bear that has consistently shown himself on these message boards to "fight" the trend and knows nothing but to "look" for things to support his bearish AGENDA - - -whether it is bombings over in Iraq over Saddam's hanging ( like there haven't been bombings before?) or other...

    45 point drop than a recovery

    No volume, no size between bid/asks that allow a small amount of volume from a typical 3:20PM "program" trade to push the market around big time. No big deal.

    Elliott Wave Suggests 1445 Target

    Expect the market to open firm and attempt a rally early in the session. A failure to penetrate the 1426.50 in the first three hours will suggest that the market will trade in a sidewise pattern between 1426.50/1419.55. This being a weekly and monthly close today a close above the 1421.05...

    Family Values?

    Isn't the daughter of VP Cheney a lesbian who is pregnant and expecting a child with her "partner" and the father is no where to be found? Talk about hypocrisy. :eek:

    Elliott Wave Suggests 1445 Target

    SPX has taken out yesterday's lows on low volume and should decline into the 21 day MA at 1409.79 A simple "measured-move" off the recent high of 1431.81 will target 16.93 points off of yesterday's counter-trend rally of 1429.05 = 1412.12 :)
