It seems to me that Weber succeeded in convincing Trichet that they can reduce headline inflation (commodity and energy input costs) to their fantasy target of 2.0% by inducing a European wide recession. Good luck to them. A recent picture of Trichet & Weber, here as King Theoden and...

Uhmmmm... Didn't this practice bring us to where we are at today?

Getting my head handed in long VLO :) Will this SOB ever retrace? Probably after I bail.

Simple sell off where everybody heads for the exit in sectors/stocks that were way extended from their moving averages. They held up a little too well while the SP500 was plunging. No need for "hedge fund margin call" theories, I'd call it reversion to the mean :)

If I was Cai I would be careful giving investment advice with that kind a name. Actually he should apply at a short selling hedge fund :D

Pigs getting slaughtered.

Hundreds of small caps are being murdered today and yesterday. This has less to do with front running but rather with everybody running for the exit in illiquid stocks.

IMO a solid -120k, -150k figure could bring us down far enough below 1240/1250 to get a nice woosh and market panic to build an intermediate term bottom. I'd assume a gap up due to a better than expected jobs figure would likely be faded on the open.

Time for a new stock_trad3r index??? :eek:

Can't wait to see that :)

At this juncture IMO the most constructive market action would be to completely destroy the last market outperforming stocks, especially in the small cap area. Annihilate anything that enabled people to hide and keep them from panicking. Let them raise cash and slowly put it to work again.

Small caps were outperforming in the last couple weeks. Looks like reversion to the mean. It seems old momentum small-cap favorites are being slaughtered in the small cap space. IMO a good think for the market since there is no more place to hide and money will rotate out of a handful of...

HCBK. One of the better looking 5 year charts in banks/financials.

It means the world has 8 days left to exist.

Trichet got played by Weber. If they start hiking and increase multiple times from here over 5% you can kiss the European economy good bye for 2009-2011. If the ECB were serious about reaching their fantasy inflation target for headline inflation of 2% they have to hike to 6% by next year. There...

"Cristal and Eastern European whores for free, tonight 10pm at Deutsche Bank Tower, Level 69"

How are you making a risk free return when you get 2% in the bank and inflation is 4%?

From a trading perspective, what's more likely? Buy today and get slaughtered tomorrow on some bad news or short today and get slaughtered tomorrow on whatever ridiculous fragment of positive news?

Yes, in pessimism.
