As has already been stated multiple times on this thread, a trader cannot survive trading for Keystone. Keystone could not survive from the P&Ls of its traders. Instead, their business model depends primarily on their workshop and subscription fees while maintaining tight risk management...

Wow, I am right with you piezoe. Great analysis! Indeed I’m playing close attention to the Euro/USD & USD/JPY support/resistance levels and am aware of the QE2 rumors. Tomorrow is huge … although I thought the same thing last week with the GDP and Jobs report. Waiting and watching for...

I'm considering that today. This may simply be a 2 day anomaly, but typically the dollar does move similarly to the VIX and contrary to the indexes. When one of the gears in my model begins to breakdown, I need to open the hood and find out "why"?

Does anyone have an opinion of why the below relationships seem to be deviating from their norm?

Enough with the racial accusations! Totally uncalled for … Look, the banks want to give the tax payer's their money back. That should be a good thing! Once the money is returned, the government should stay out of their business. That should be a good thing! How many AIGs, Fannie...

Enjoy this rally while it lasts. Following better than expected earnings form the banks, reality will once again begin to rear its ugly head with the stress tests. And we may find out that all of humpty dumpty's men may not have put us back together again.:D

Wow! Explosive information. Looks like AIG is the middle man for funneling tax payer money into the Banks. You have to hand it to Geitner, your average citizen would never be able to follow this trail of government-insurance company-bank money laundering scheme. While politicians are crying...

The link below takes you to a visual simulation as to how the Geitner plan works along with great insights into the pros & cons. I found it quite illuminating and potentially disturbing. http://seekingalpha.com/article/128759-clarity-on-flaws-in-geithner-plan :(

I am long SRS which makes me short REITS. The leveraged ETFs are primarily day trading vehicles. As such, typical technical analysis doesn't work with them so I look at the index ETFs such as IYR instead to determine overbought/oversold conditions. http://www.proshares.com/funds/srs.html

Actually, I've been thinking this April/May is setting up like last April/May. There was optimism that the Bush tax cut, financial back stop and Fed actions might lead us back up and the market rallied on bad news during earnings. That said, I took a small position in the SRS Friday...

"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern." - Aldous Huxley :cool:

My fear is that the administration will use these stress tests to demand that the banks keep the TARP money regardless of whether they need it or not. Then use the TARP money as justification for strong arming these financial institutions into lending to factions they deem a priority. Should a...

For what it's worth, I also took a small position in the SRS this afternoon when the IYR hit 29 and will be buying a little FAZ when the XLF hits 10. I typically only trade these intraday, but starting to build a position at this point in anticipation of a counter-trend is not the worst...

"Bull Market" WTF, must be time to go short ... :confused: :eek: :confused:
