Quote from Spectre2007:

i wouldnt short before nfp or post nfp... the sunday night session is the best...

the nfp number is too visible for the socialists not to defend.

Last 2 pre-NFP Thursdays sold off pretty nicely after 3pm, if I'm not mistaken.

Dumping all at 941. It turned out to be a net loser. By how much, I don't know.

lol, wish i shared your enthusiasm!
still in my short from 939.5 - totally expecting to get stopped out tho. Feel 10 times happier with my long trades, but i gotta keep taking the signals...

stopped out.
As above im not in the slightest bit suprised. This is a market for buyers.
Expecting a ramp up at some point tomorrow.

if your patient and we're lucky enough to get a dip tomorrow you can buy that for 10 points or so

It's the revisions that might take some heads off.

You mean they will curve-fit the past to reflect the future performance.

Idiots they are all the same IMHO. You already know I'm in a foul mood.

Quote from satchel:

In the next 45 minutes, I feel sorry for any one who is remaining long.

Pfft Well it wasn't the last hour Sturm und Drang so no congrats to sellers of the day high cause we are sitting a point below it. And no congrats to buyers of the day high either. 940 is the place to be short for tomorrow.

Thanks for the charts. I was speaking about the day prior to NFP, but I was wrong anyway. In my current brain-dead state I mistakenly checked pre- expiration days. My apologies to Spectre and everyone else.

As you were ...

Quote from lurefo:

PP at 30.25 + yest. close + yest. strong reaction off the lows at 922.5 + gap at 36.5....

I think we go higher.

And we did. The daily doesn't look too bad, good test of the 23-27 area with 949 in sight.

See you tomorrow folks!

this fucking market man.... i am going to hold my es puts until this month's expiration, which also happens to be triple witching day. Expecting some wild actions then.

I still dont understand why the market is so bullish after a 40% runup, hitting a massive technical resistance, inflation start to pop up, AND with the economy still giving off mixed signals.

It should soldoff as soon as it touched 925, except the daytraders who the fuck is buying them at these levels
