    Black Friday

    I'll set it up at the end of the day if SPX is below 1250 and the Dow is below 11K and RUT below 700. Otherwise, I'd see a bounce as a more likely outcome. Today is just a modest down day so far. If it weren't the seventh in a row I doubt anyone would even notice.

    Black Friday

    That's the rationale that's being bandied about. Given that, I'm not sure why the long bond was up a full point though. :confused:

    Black Friday

    SPX 1275 and NDX 1600 got munched on that last hour takedown. It may be no more than that for options. However, if I were about to pull the trigger on a liquidation being long puts on expiry would be one of my favorite days. First you get the benefit of the puts and second you get the...

    Black Friday

    What the heck the last thread was such a success I thought I'd revive it for tomorrow... :)

    Black Monday

    Looks like a wait and see so far to me. Neither team has moved the needle too much yet. Since it's expiry week I'd expect more volatility to kick in at some point. However, I must admit to being directionally challenged right now. :)

    US futures down. Anyone watching Asia?

    Black Monday

    How about... :D Today the PPT failed to halt the bears and the longs drew in their horns. The VIX spiked above its 200 MA. Followers of Taleb, hoping for a black Monday to justify years of losses started licking their chops. It's likely that a combination of some Fed official speak and...

    BRCM is killing me

    FWIW, I show a buy right here at 37.92 on a short term reversion approach... could be a bit busy with expiry coming up and a down day so you might wait and see if we hit the 37.50 zone and how things go there.

    housing not bubbling

    I'll have to do a drive by the next time I am in the area. There area a gazillion condo's in Marina Dely Rey and they keep building more. It sounds somewhat like the Florida situation from what other's have said.

    housing not bubbling

    Having grown up in the area (Rancho St) I find it a "bit" of a surprise that the bite is on this fast. It's a desirable area -- although $3M is a big push for most of those places. What part are you in?

    Iran's Leader Writes to President Bush (after 27 years)

    I don't see anything happening before the elections. The US bombing Iran will lose the Republicans the elections and likely lead to impeachment hearings as the Dems take control. Since the Iranians are years away by anybody's estimate I don't see the Israeli's making their lives more...

    Fail this question you should give up trading

    lol... Good point. Got to unsubscribe. Can't take the endless emails -- must be a very slow day.

    Fail this question you should give up trading

    http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/ChrisSantoro.shtml I'd also point out that this is a sign of a really slow afternoon. :D

    Venezuela Buys Oil to Meet Contracts

    They produce 2.4M barrels/day. This is a drop in the bucket. :) My SWAG is that something slowed production rather than there is a problem with their total reserves.

    pat rogers backtesting journal

    I actually would have pointed out that the results seem to have deteriorated in April -- w/l down, PF down, etc.. Too bad we'll never see May. It looked like an interesting project.

    Wall Street Job-Hunter Chronicle

    What's the old metric -- one month searching aggressively for every $10K in salary sought.

    Woodies CCI

    No problem. I started a bit harsh as I definitely have an opinion about this approach. I actually did trade the techniques for awhile, tried it out with others in private rooms on paltalk (Dr Bob, being one of those others) backtested them and found they didn't work. Also found the...
