Oct 11 2013

Uneven day, ending uneven week. Slightly negative day, slightly positive week. A lot of annoying up and downs, in tune with Washington developments. Ended with winning trade which helps. Hopefully this nonsense is over soon, all these "he said she said" headlines sending market up and down are tiresome.



Session Time: Fri Oct 11 00:00:00 2013

[09:07] {Les} at least CHF/USD is holding up with fiscal stupidity
[09:07] {Les} can setup Nonko account at relatively good rate

[09:17] {nemo} Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong. ~ Sartre

[11:21] {Les} GLD following GDX back down
01[11:22] {@Threei}  it proved its superiority over everyone else in that regard
[11:22] {Les} after Greek cover up of its entry into EU, surprised to see Ukraine gain acceptance
[11:22] {Les} or even possibly gain acceptance
01[11:23] {@Threei}  how do you manage to stay bankrupt with the richest soil in Europe, with abundance of coal and iron, amazing beaches of Crimea etc etc
01[11:23] {@Threei}  takes special talent
01[11:24] {@Threei}  - Gold trading was temporarily halted on the CME for 10 seconds this morning at 08:42ET for a "stop logic" event. A big trade knocked $25 off the price in a two-minute span, triggering the move.
[11:24] {Les} imagine Brussels would be happy to learn how its done
01[11:24] {@Threei}  This sort of development can have outsized impacts in less liquid markets. Spot gold dropped from approx $1,290 to $1,264 very rapidly, where it remains currently, around lows last seen in mid-July. Adding to the weight, a Goldman analyst called selling gold after the shutdown ends a slamdunk trade.
[11:36] {Les} never short a dull market. back for close
01[11:37] {@Threei}  (US) Reportedly House Republicans are said to be offering a combined debt ceiling increase and an end to the shutdown in exchange for a package of spending cuts - financial press- Separately, Senior House Rep Hoyer (D-MD) commented that the bill proposed to raise debt ceiling temporarily and open the Govt is likely to pass

[12:52] {dino} just thinking (which i know i shouldn't), but we are close to a deal and helicopter yellen (who's more free w/$ than ben) is taking over in jan. hmmmm...
[12:56] {nemo} looks like iwm going for all time highs today
[12:59] {nemo} should get a big gap up on Monday if they sign agreement over the weekend
01[12:59] {@Threei}  weho knows dino
01[12:59] {@Threei}  all components seem to be in for a further rally
[13:00] {Alexs} fb nice c&h
01[13:00] {@Threei}  but at the same time, taper is more and more on the mind of many fed voting members
[13:00] {nemo} with her of the opinion that unemployment is cyclical and not structural, lots of printing coming
01[13:00] {@Threei}  and it has been well known that yellen is #1 candidate for a good while
[13:00] {nemo} Yeah, but she calls the shot regardless of the votes
[13:02] {dino} thinking as you are nemo, print like mad
[13:02] {nemo} there won't be any taper through the holiday season
[13:02] {nemo} this "shutdown" gave them even more cover
[13:03] {dino} none until after she gets in in '14
[13:04] {nemo} IWM just keeps going
[13:08] {nemo} fas headed for gap
01[13:46] {@Threei} Short Setup: IWM  .40 break
01[13:46] {@Threei}  this one should finally do

[13:48] {nemo} funny strange
01[13:48] {@Threei}  nemo doesn't get out much, alex
[13:48] {Alexs} lol
[13:48] {nemo} if it doesn't bounce by .30, 107.20 then 107 test
[13:51] {Alexs} that sounds better
[13:55] {nemo} you'll listen and you'll like it
[13:56] {nemo} I'm betting on big gap up Monday
[13:58] {nemo} http://nyti.ms/1gwVUrn
[13:58] {dino} pop and drop monday, my bet
[13:59] {nemo} debating on the fade part, think it might wait until turn around Tues or Wed.
01[14:00] {@Threei}  I would offer to make bets but we risk to forget them over the weekend... so let's do it on Monday :)
[14:01] {nemo} if you write it here we'll be able to look it up
01[14:01] {@Threei}  you assume that we remember we wrote it to look it up
01[14:01] {@Threei}  that's not a given at all
[14:02] {nemo} nevermind
[14:04] {nemo} http://bit.ly/1gwWRA1

[14:05] {Alexs} I don't like october at all
[14:10] {dino} i'm w/ya alex
[14:10] {nemo} this shutdown has thrown an extra dynamic into the works
01[14:26] {@Threei}  still think GLD should sell off closer to eod
01[14:34] {@Threei}  hmmm... it doesn't wait that long
01[14:34] {@Threei}  should have shorted .30
01[14:36] {@Threei}  let's see if we get a bounce
01[14:36] {@Threei}  to short into
[14:36] {Alexs} .20?
01[14:37] {@Threei}  I would feel safer at .30
01[14:37] {@Threei}  and with all this semi-random up and down we might just get it
[14:44] {Alexs} so we r in?
01[14:45] {@Threei}  waiting for it to go over .30
[14:45] {Alexs} k
[14:45] {nemo} finnies may break higher, this important level for iwm

[15:28] {Les} Fleck whiffing the end of Fed taming with printing press
[15:28] {Les} on the lines of our discussion yesterday Alex
[15:29] {Les} MYGN short covering into close?
01[15:32] {@Threei} Short Setup: GDX  .10 break
01[15:32] {@Threei}  If holds  .15 
[15:35] {Alexs} So Les you think that guy knows a lot about Yellen's brain?
01[15:36] {@Threei}  probably not but how is he going to make a living if he admits that, alex
[15:37] {Alexs} lol
01[15:37] {@Threei}  re,e,ber that russian saying... (swear verb) is easier than to turn heavy bags
[15:38] {Alexs} rofl
01[15:38] {@Threei}  :)
[15:38] {Alexs} pizdet ne meshki vorochat
[15:38] {nemo} Les doesn't even know much about his own
01[15:39] {@Threei}  eqzaktly
[15:41] {Les} You're assuming that Yellen and a printing press is only game in town Alex
01[15:41] {@Threei}  let's cover half here
01[15:42] {@Threei}  stop to .11
01[15:42] {@Threei}  want to make sure we end up with profitable tarde
01[15:42] {@Threei}  what do you mean Les?
[15:43] {Les} hearing talk of Washington toying with idea of offloading public pension to private asset management
[15:43] {Les} not sure what amount is in that pot
01[15:43] {@Threei}  I can't see current administratikon doing anything of sorts
[15:44] {nemo} if anything they want it all in the public sector
01[15:44] {@Threei}  if anything, they'll ride it and confiscate it
01[15:45] {@Threei}  and move what's managed by private sector to public
[15:47] {dino} les you were right on mygn
01[15:48] {@Threei}  dino, you just put a knife in nemo's heart and turned it three times
01[15:48] {@Threei}  slowly
[15:48] {Les} bullish divergence suggested it, needed indexes to go along which they did
[15:48] {nemo} even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while
[15:49] {Alexs} what happened to FB today? no belief in a bright future?
[15:49] {Les} love ya nemo
01[15:50] {@Threei}  it's not down that much
[15:51] {Les} http://tinyurl.com/krq45bj
[15:51] {nemo} He's a republican, it will never happen
[15:51] {Les} If the banks can get into that game, then you don't need the Fed
01[15:51] {@Threei}  come on
01[15:52] {@Threei}  republican senator said he wants to do this
01[15:52] {@Threei}  who cares
[15:52] {Les} sure sure
[15:52] {nemo} Democrats would never give him a victory
[15:52] {Les} let's see where 'pension reform' goes
01[15:52] {@Threei}  in opposite direction to what he suggests
[15:53] {Les} but I suspect tinkering to help balance the budget at some point
[15:53] {Les} yeh he's suggesting non-govt market based blah blah blah
01[15:54] {@Threei}  yes - when republicans take presidency, senate and house
[15:54] {dino} which may be never to get all 3
01[15:54] {@Threei}  there you go :)
[15:54] {Les} After the resounding success of Obamacare for everyone, one could see the scheme being flipped to serve Washington...
01[15:54] {@Threei}  this train goes one way I am afraid
[15:55] {Les} anyway too much idle speculation on my part.
[15:55] {Les} outta here bon weekend
01[15:55] {@Threei}  take care
[15:56] {dino} calling it a week too. thx all
