Sorry to hear, again, no hard feelings. Good luck.
Ben Bernanke Speaks Tomorrow!!!
- Thread starter RangeTrader
- Start date
what is "down 12" a call on? premarket, on open, after speech, at close? a simple 'touch' of 1385ish at anytime in the next 18 hrs. good enough to claim victory? what if it's down 20, would that be a miss?
now, want to call the madness, what will the sliver of action on the futures over the long weekend bring. after folks have had a few hours to digest ben, but before a nice long weekend.

If they call something I always assume they mean the closing print.
Reaction to the speech. He can't call for QE at this point in the election year. It would look too political and the numbers are showing some convexity. He will talk it up and say we're keeping rates low indefinitely... act when needed, blah blah blah.
There will be ZERO color / comments regarding implementation of QE, so we take a bit of a hit. If we rally like a mofo I am sure I'll hear about it, but recall that at least it's a call at a price.
On Jun 19th SPY was 135.70 on Jun 20th the markets were (wrongly IMO) expecting QE-something. On Jun 25th the SPY was 131.32.
-3.3% move in 5 days.
So I'm expecting no QE and a short-term sell-off which could last all week as it's a short week and traders will become more nervous about Draghi next week.
