July 15 2013

Quiet, low volume, boring and... nicely profitable day. After shaky start we caught our stride and hit a few nice juicy trades. How's this for low volume, as of 15:30:

NYSE volume 360M shares, about 25% below its three-month average
NASDAQ volume 1.14B shares, about 17% below its three-month average

[11:19] {RonS} so bad it's good a la Ed Wood's movies?
[11:19] {ese} L crm .59
01[11:20] {&Threei}  this is what I am thinking
01[11:20] {&Threei}  but I am hardly a standard post, I enjoyed "2012"
01[11:21] {&Threei}  my recipe - dismiss all the stupid plot lines, flat characters and ridiculous dialogues, and watch the scenes of mass destruction only
[11:21] {ese} hmmmmmmmmm
[11:21] {ese} definitely something to consider
[11:22] {nemo} Saw a documentary on Ed Wood...all those movies done in the Phillipines
[11:23] {nemo} the doco was hilarious
[11:24] {nemo} so, whaddya' think about the Trayvon stuff?  I guess the facts don't matter to the public.
01[11:24] {&Threei}  when did they...
[11:24] {nemo} yeah
[11:24] {dino} exactly what i think nemo
[11:24] {dino} cov mhfi .20, +.20
[11:25] {nemo} 84% have average to less than average intelligence, so rational thought is kinda' out the window
[11:25] {ese} out vz .50 +.05
[11:25] {ese} sheesh...like pulling teeth these days
[11:28] {+cc_9} JPM a real dog
01[11:29] {&Threei}  - The June advanced retail sales data was pretty disappointing. The shortfall was largely due to a much-smaller-than-expected rise in the gasoline station and to an unexpected drop in the building materials sector. Sales of building materials fell by the most in a year, a potentially worrying sign for the housing market.
[11:29] {dino} was it this slow last wek
[11:29] {dino} week?
01[11:29] {&Threei}  The July Empire survey crushed expectations on a big reversal in shipments and new orders from the dismal June survey.
[11:29] {ese} yes
01[11:29] {&Threei}  mostly, yes
[11:30] {+cc_9} SPY session highs, JPM session lows

01[15:37] {&Threei}  - NYSE volume 360M shares, about 25% below its three-month average
01[15:37] {&Threei}  wow
01[15:37] {&Threei}  NASDAQ volume 1.14B shares, about 17% below its three-month average
[15:37] {dino} nobody playing the game
01[15:38] {&Threei}  we have something from Ben coming this week again
[15:38] {nemo} no fear anywhere...they know the Central Banks will do whatever it takes to support the markets
01[15:38] {&Threei}  atill, market became very sensitive to what he is saying again, after all the taper talk
01[15:39] {&Threei}  and there is a lot of guessing, interpretations and misinterpretations
[15:39] {nemo} yeah, they threw up the trial balloon and saw what happened and adjusted accordingly
01[15:39] {&Threei}  no one wants to be the last one in music chair game
01[15:39] {&Threei}  it may be more than trial balloon
01[15:40] {&Threei}  it may actually be an attemot to manage the bubble by jawboning
[15:40] {dino} it is
01[15:40] {&Threei}  think of it this way: if they can keep market from exploding and imploding by carefully crafting the taper on/taper off message,
01[15:41] {&Threei}  it's an idea way for them, no need for actual policvy change
01[15:41] {&Threei}  ideal
01[15:41] {&Threei}  they can keep things steady by talking
01[15:42] {&Threei}  "unleash the dove," and market stops falling
01[15:42] {&Threei}  "unleash the hawk," and market stops skyrocketing
