CL short trade looks pretty sound and a nice opportunity. problem is it can bounce hard once it is this low historically and the bounces are hard to time for me...but Vis you have a natural ability to see these type moves in price action and I am always learning by watching you trade :) Hope...

looking at Blue Bird, Keurig, Soda Stream going across the ticker. I understand the market has some resilience and staying power above 2050 (ES) and I will "very short term" trade long here and there as we move through Christmas.... but really, all of the US stox averages look weak, tired...

Big 10 putting out several great teams this year. It would actually be very interesting to just watch a full on play-offs of the Big 10 including Michigan State, Iowa, Ohio State and Michigan. Big 12 seems an embarrassment. Texas crashed and burned on the first day. Baylor hype for weeks and...

One thing I am confused about: 1) So sell side has been converting to Hike = Good and the market has been conditioned for this 2) Hike looks pretty certain, they have massaged the economic data to say that the economy is very robust and ready for hiking 3) Yet Japan and Europe are still pretty...

The fact that they slipped the first hint in the middle of the night during Thanksgiving holiday (China 5% drop) suggests a nod and a tip to the downside below the 2100 to 2050 channel but all that would do is set-up an inaction instead of a hike on Dec 16? A hike in this type of environment...

my guess is Draghi will hold off through Dec 16 and probably through Jan so that Fed is not hiking as Draghi is adding QE. Abe too may hold off through Dec and Jan to allow Fed to get this .25 hike over with. After the .25 (thats if its able to hike), Fed will hold off many months and Draghi/Abe...

Russia making quick work of isolating and possibly bringing down Erdogan (very quick arab spring for Turkey?) So any oil boost from the possible volatility in the region seems diminished greatly...thus the lower oil prices yesterday. But i think the market will consolidate quickly from this oil...

I think right now, because of China overnight and lower than usual volume, its better to wait for any dip (smaller dip is fine), watch how the dip acts to feel a bottom in the dip and then buy it...instead of looking for upward movement and then riding it higher. Higher side seems to have some...

bad news anywhere is good news to the US as long as world central bankers are either in QE mode or hesitating for 10 years to hike .25 (deep dovish). Even if they hike .25, poor data following this will prevent any more hikes for months and months and may not happen it turns out in a...

Well this is fiction: This is fact: Conclusion, the eyebrows and side burns are what kills you

gotta love how things happen with a full on suspect world equity shell game.... scurry around at night during US holiday trying to hide the shell with the pea.... like rats after the lights go out oh well, I will hold my nose and buy at the open....stay long til the wind blows the smell...

whenever I trade or invest long without high conviction in the bull story (which is a lot since 2000) I try to use this method "putting in orders and not watching" and it works well for me. But it is extremely hard for me not to watch my positions constantly using this method. During my second...

kommissar, whats your take on the fact that SPX, NDX staying higher and seemed to be almost pulled upward whereas RUT/ IWM holdind down near Aug lows?

Its been kinda quiet during Hong Kong/Shanghai session lately...if crude ramps a bit it could get more interesting overnight Its usually always interesting overnight during Asia session when US has holidays

Thats true, this fighter jet incident happened just prior to very low volume and closed days in NY/Chicago markets. Wednesday (Nov 25) always very low volume before Thanksgiving and then closed on Thursday (Nov 26) and closed at 1pm NY time (18:00 London) on Friday which is even lower volume.

I try to discipline myself regarding day trades but I am not always perfect. Russia seemed they wanted to help with the Paris event by policing Syria and was welcomed after all the tragedy. Why would Turkey take the other side at a time like this? France is also in NATO...will these two...

There are magnets above this market. I have not, in long duration, traded often in markets with magnets above. I have traded markets with magnets below a few long stretches though. But I am learning...always learning. And, well, if there are magnets pulling (they have been very strong lately)...

I get this queasy feeling that the Fed will hike .25 in Dec (maybe a bit of a sell-off and buy the dip) and then we go to Jan and Feb and March...each of these months they play out a "fear" that the Fed might hike again but it doesn't happen and the market rallies each time on more inaction...

the run up from 2000 setting up to be another amazing display of buying power. Any dips at all get bought very heavily. I would not fight this trend but rather go up with it

NoVoodoo might be replying to couple posts in his one statement. But yea, being generally bearish part might not have been directly in response to xandman's comment cuz xandman seems to trade on an even keel moving as the market does with ups and downs like Visaria does. And yea, it does seem...
