What Happened Today at 12:00 on the NASD

[Rigel]

The market spiked up 5 pts.
Wild fluctuations in stock prices for several minutes and then up they go.
Didn't see any news items. Anyone have any ideas?

Good Economic news, I think...and as I write this the SPX is headed back down. I can hear all those hot keys just 'a clicken...

Whatever it was I'm very grateful, it certainly got me out of a hole

Don't you guy's keep an updated economic calendar?

The Street publish one each week. If you don't want to end up on the wrong side of a move like today's 12:00 Philadelphia Fed announcement you MUST be aware of these report releases.

How can you be trading and not be aware of reports coming out?

 

[lundy]

it's unimportant to me, if I reacted to all the news, I might get shaken out of my shorts.

If it was the "Philly Fed" it's interesting how the effect lasted only a few minutes. Would have dumped my shorts but it would have been a mistake. Velllly intelllesting!

"How can you be trading and not be aware of reports coming out?"
By pushing them little buttons on my keyboardey thing.

Its triple witching tommorrow and weird sh*t is going to happen. I'm flat the rest of the week.

Actually, there's an easier way. Check out "One Minute Trader" they send me a briefing each morning with this type of information. See Robert Tharp (rtharp) for more info about this...he occasionally writes commentary for this. BTW, it is free.
