Real good Sunday Evening Ticker

Has a VERY long video on it, but to understand why what is happening in our economy, banks & gov can't continue (probably for not much longer) the way it is, it's essential!!

Oh yeah & some of that chart porn Roland posted is in it

For those numbers to be true, FIRST the DJIA has to reach 9398.13. It is currently at 9321.40 which is 76.79 points shy. So if this was truely a "glitch" and shows market manipulation then the market will have to be UP 76.79 points from it's current level. That means that you will not see it monday if it is true. There could be any day that it could be due to market highs and lows, that this could occur on so the trick will be to watch for a day that the market closes at 9321.40, only then will you know if it was a true glitch or proof of manipulation.

In your last update, you excluded NIKKEI. Did you avert your eyes, for you couldn't stand the sight of the carnage? Can you imagine this? A couple of days after the Japanese officialdom announces victory over the recession, there are only seven or so companies out of 225 in green!


Hex, we need to stabilize NIKKEI, and so the Dow needs to climb tomorrow. You know how the Japanese traders are co-dependent on the US markets, right? I know that's manipulation, but I don't have much of a choice. Mr. Goldman agrees, but he said that I should clear it with you. Do I have your permission to keep the Dow up on Monday?

You have to love the SPIN the Asian markets are going to hades in a hand basket and this comes out....

Aah, it's just the time in the year when the Japanese always feel like winning something.

www.ibiblio.org...

The RTS, Russian stock market, is down 4.99% so far... this is kinda bad...

The economy is going back down right on schedule? We can only hope that it comes back to what it should be...DOW at 6000 points.

Just you watch Obama asking for more bailouts...

If we crash in Sept -Oct AGAIN.... I will have to assume there is something not right about the Sept and Oct months..

As to the RST, Russian markets.. they are very, very, very volatile.. I doubt we will see that kind of movement in the west.

Heh, it's about damned time we see this

It's a sea of red out there folks.

reply to post by redhatty


Doesn't mean anything though does it? I mean, it could be -400 in the morning and come 3:10pm shoot to +50 points.

reply to post by redhatty


The sea rivers and lakes are about to get redder too. China has a company that is preparing to buy up about 2 billion in mortgages as we speak. I guess that the USA home owner is now considered a natural resource they can use to better their country. Or if we use the tin foil they are just buying up the mortgages to finish the foreclosure so they can move in! They are over crowded ya know...

Will see if I can find a MSM news article on it somewhere
Here is one

heh, but I play the futures market

right now my only problem is having the discipline to NOT short the hole

even better than China, Obama is gonna build subsidized apartment complexes & use some of these foreclosed homes as subsidized housing.

www.boston.com...

NOW you know why the .gov was happy to take all those "toxic" MBS, they now own the properties.

Amerika is going down right to plan

When the hole comes overnight there is not much you can do but wait. If the Dow opens low and climbs out, then we may have seen our pullback the dollar index is up near the 79.50 key support level so its dangerous to short stocks here.

He, he, God has decided to correct the mass delusion of recovery...

Hold on to your piglets, forget the wedding!

reply to post by fromunclexcommunicate


at this hour, yes very dangerous.

I NEVER deal with the DOW, I play the /ES, S&P futures.

You wanna play with only 30 stocks (Dow) go ahead, I like the full 500 in my index, it's a much better indicator of reality.

The futures opened up yesterday afternoon. When the SSE started taking last night, I was awake (still am) and made a few shorts, they have paid off nicely so far. I will probably close them out soon after the opening bell, but I'm not sure yet.

If this tankage carries over to our markets I will hold on until I think I got as much as I will safely get.

I've been getting ready for this for months, and I expect a few more down hard days before I cash out completely.

ETA: Don't forget folks, it's OPEX this week & we got some earnings reports coming out today, including Lowes

The market may react very positively to the news that companies are hiring again.

Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street firms are again recruiting commodities traders with promises of $1 million bonuses as prices of raw materials from oil to copper double.

Bonuses like that will push the unemployment figures to a mere fraction. Can you U2U me the job application if you got some extra?
