May 22 2013

Very good day for us despite sudden reversals triggered by Fed-speak, taper on/taper off musings and general nervousness. Got a few nice 1:3ers and other trades. Sharp drops in GLD, GDX etc are usually good to us as we are more inclined to short those.

01[10:03] {&Threei}  - Reiterates that the pace of asset purchases could be changed based on economic conditions. - Monetary policy cannot offset the drag on the economy from fiscal policy. - Longer-term inflation expectations are still stable, inflation to be at or below 2% for the next few years. - Housing market has strengthened over the last 12 months.

[10:28] {+cc_9} where is this money coming from
01[10:29] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Bernanke: Reiterates the Fed could or could not sell assets, will provide more information on exit strategy going forward over time - Q&A- Reiterates could normalize policy simply by letting assets 'roll off'
[10:30] {Will49} good guess Vad
[10:30] {nemo} well, that's not entirely true
[10:30] {nemo} if you continue purchase as they roll off, you don't shrink the balance sheet
01[10:30] {&Threei}  lettting them roll-off? questionable idea considering rates going up at some point
[10:31] {dino} stc swi calls 2.25, +.55/32%
[10:31] {Les} half out
01[10:31] {&Threei}  no nemo, he means letting them roll-off instead of selling them
01[10:31] {&Threei}  as alternative exit strategy
[10:31] {robbers} Out TZA, nice call.
[10:32] {thomcbell} vxx bounced well

01[11:39] {&Threei}  sure enough, rainbow makes the appearance, guest says "wow, how do you know"
01[11:40] {&Threei}  I open my mouth to say some bs with important look,
01[11:40] {&Threei}  and huge whale jumps out of the water, with ranbow as a backdrop
01[11:40] {&Threei}  Our guest couldn't speak for half an hor after that

01[14:13] {&Threei}  (US) PIMCO's Gross: Bond markets are priced for a reduction in QE; could see some tapering starting at Sept FOMC meeting- Fed did not addresss the bond supply issues; Fed is having technical problems with the bond market. - Most overvaued asset class Treasury and JGB, calls stock market frothy.
[14:16] {Les} dino, question
[14:16] {Les} do you have bids placed in at levels you wanna buy on these fast movers?
[14:17] {Les} pre-placed bids?
[14:18] {dino} not usually les, they tend to go thru levels fast
[14:18] {Les} ah ok
[14:18] {dino} some times times i use buy stops or short stops to enter
[14:19] {+cc_9} joke's on you guys, market closing green today

[14:19] {+cc_9} (wait for the reaction, it will be delicious)
[14:19] {Les} learning with TNA on paper and realised I need to have bid placed in at the levels otherwise too late
[14:20] {dino} tna thicker, should not break thru as much imo
[14:20] {Les} yeh I understand the difference with your stocks

01[14:31] {&Threei}  If holds  .40
[14:33] {+cc_9} need 166.60 on SPY before any "bounce" confirmation
[14:33] {+cc_9} also, we have to wait for all of StockTwits to let us know they are either long or short first.
[14:35] {_babyheart} looks like this is the beginning of the sell off everyone is waiting for....
[14:36] {+cc_9} whoa
[14:36] {_babyheart} just short short short
[14:37] {nemo} Weekly pivot 165.60 spy and 67.70 FAS
[14:37] {nemo} SPY gap a65.30ish to 165.70ish
[14:37] {+cc_9} every single green bar on SPY was a pause before more death
[14:37] {+cc_9} volume has not slowed either
[14:38] {nemo} frickin' melodramatic aren't we...
06[14:38] * Les slaps Nemo for cutting into the running commentary
[14:39] {Les} the tape image of everyone trying to get out the door at the same time. fascinating stuff
[14:40] {nemo} it's kinda like opening fire with an automatic weapon in a movie theatre
[14:40] {Les} sigh
[14:40] {dino} we really aren't down much, not even 1%
[14:40] {Les} the image works though
[14:40] {nemo} Yeah, this is a riot
[14:40] {nemo} Don't worry, in this bull market, it'll be back to new highs by Friday
[14:41] {_babyheart} from todays high... thats a huge sell off
[14:41] {Les} wouldn't surprise me if this market floats back to the top like a submerged corpse, but fun to watch the panic button hit
[14:41] {+cc_9} dino, you are right, but people are looking at the selloff from the session highs
[14:41] {_babyheart} a reversal candle stick on daily chart
[14:41] {+cc_9} which on the DOW comes up to over 200 points
[14:41] {dino} swi holds well thru this, going to add calls before close for swing
[14:42] {_babyheart} maybe all the retailers bought already...
[14:42] {Les} they're level of ownership is pretty low
[14:42] {Les} their
[14:43] {+cc_9} once stop losses get eaten, they will send it back up for another frenzy
[14:43] {dino} typical on bernie speech days
[14:44] {+cc_9} if they want more volume and to get stuckies back, they need 1 more bounce, near 167 then flush it back
01[14:45] {&Threei}  no go
[14:45] {Les} what was the setup?
01[14:46] {&Threei}  ?
[14:46] {Les} no go

01[14:55] {&Threei}  spikey line?
01[14:56] {&Threei}  that's real wisdom he is seeking

[14:59] {dino} miners up tho, gdx, slw, fcx, clf
[14:59] {Les} yeh big guns betting on the miners apparently
[15:00] {+cc_9} dino, add ABX to that list.
01[15:06] {&Threei}  I don't know if they can be too happy about being barely in green, after being up that much earlier
01[15:07] {&Threei}  GLD is teetering on the verge of losing major support and collapsing
01[15:07] {&Threei}  which will send miners down too
01[15:07] {&Threei}  and the very fact that their earlier gains could be swatted away that easy is not encouraging at all
[15:09] {dino} just saying miners holding. copper is up, its a metal
[15:10] {dino} copper is more of an economic tell imo
01[15:11] {&Threei}  much more than gold or silver, that's for sure :)
[15:11] {Les} yeh watching that one as it tried to break .40 in futures. will see if it was bull trap
01[15:12] {&Threei}  one chart I derive pure pleasure from is canadian buck
