Feb 28 2013

Boring and slightly above the water day. A few plays with nice potential turned into merely scalps not reaching 1:2 by just a cent or two. Volume disappears, this may easily turn into the end of the bounce.

[13:33] {dino} on the other hand, glad i'm out
01[13:33] {Threei}  good thinking :)
01[13:34] {Threei}  (US) S&P issues commentary on sequester impact on state and local Governments- The implementation of approximately $85 billion in cuts from the federal budget may have only minor negative credit consequences for state and local governments and their affiliated entities - Most municipalities have exhibited their willingness to impose cutbacks in response to a weaker revenue environment since the beginning of the recession, and we expect them to be prepared for the possibility of sequestration
01[13:35] {Threei}  whole thing is such a non-issue
[13:39] {scottie} gotta leave early, see you all tomorrow
[13:39] {Will49} bye scottie

This expansion of Facebooks Custom Audiences program could rake in revenue and attract businesses by matching ads to real spenders. - The four partners already work with many of the worlds biggest brands to target email marketing, direct mail, and other online ads. Now theyll be able to use the same ones to pinpoint Facebook ads. Businesses can request their data partner upload a privacy-protected, hashed list of customer or potential customer information such as email addresses. The advertiser can then target these sets of people, but dont ever know the identity of who theyre reaching.

[10:53] {ese} morning.........i know i know....i'm late
01[10:53] {Threei}  too bad... we are having blast of a morning
[10:54] {ese} naturally..........
01[10:54] {Threei}  and Ben said everything you wanted him to say
[10:54] {ese} which was
01[10:55] {Threei}  "everything's great, economy is happy, we continue supporting it, and will do so until it dies"
[10:55] {ese} " I am your worst economic nightmare"
[10:56] {ese} it's now a reflex action with him anyway..........market is now use to selling off everytime he says something..........it's just an expected thing
[10:57] {nemo} oh great, a pontificating musician
[10:57] {ese} he has no credibility left
[10:57] {ese} lol
[10:57] {ese} oh ya oh ya!!!!!! well I represent that remark
[10:57] {nemo} go shove a zildjian up....oh nevermind
[10:58] {nemo} would probably go in easy now that I think about it
01[10:59] {Threei}  I am not sure why you tie his credibility to what he says instead of what he does
01[10:59] {Threei}  he can talk about whatever, who cares
01[10:59] {Threei}  what he does is what matters
01[11:00] {Threei}  and what he does is, flood economy with dollars created out of thin air
01[11:00] {Threei}  with no exit strategy
01[11:00] {Threei}  supporting market with this never ending money injection
[11:00] {ese} ouch.......the two of you.........may I ask who pee'd in your cornflakes this morning? hmmmmmmmm
01[11:00] {Threei}  Is it good thing he does, you think?
[11:01] {nemo} I'm pissed I had to expunge all the booze I drank before I went to bed last night because I figured I'd be massively hungover this morning
[11:02] {dino} its simply a race to the bottom. devalue, devalue, devalue. thing is the whole world has caught on so its usa vs euro vs yen, etc
[11:02] {nemo} what's scary is all the central banks have to take up the deficit spending slack, so when does someone decide to get off the fiat merry-go-round
[11:03] {scottie} out BBRY
01[11:03] {Threei}  that's when nusic stops
01[11:03] {Threei}  music too
[11:03] {nemo} that's when everything comes to a screeching halt
[11:03] {dino} good question, i don't know answer.
01[11:04] {Threei}  and the longer this lunacy continues the harder crash is going to be
[11:04] {dino} the only thing they have going for it is everybody is "all in".
01[11:04] {Threei}  but instead of gradual tightening the belt now in attempt to slide more or less easy and over time out of this quagmire, they continue pumping it up
[11:04] {nemo} that's the problem, and to try and exit, they have to remove liquidity, which automatically drives up interest rates, which raises government borrowing costs Now choose your analogy, either the Potemkin Village or the Emperor without clothes gets exposed
[11:05] {ese} lol  good one
01[11:06] {Threei}  so ese... what exactly is your beef with Ben, that he enables more borrowing and spending, or that he is not cheering enout while doing it?? :)
[11:07] {dino} i think its a grand experient with bunch of governments participating. they think if we all are printing what does it matter.
[11:08] {dino} odd thing is commodities are not reflecting it
[11:08] {Will49} everything being manipulated
01[11:09] {Threei}  my theory about that is:
[11:09] {dino} yes
01[11:09] {Threei}  easy money flow in the market, you are a beneficiary of it and decide what to inveat in,
[11:09] {ese} we've been through this before...........and it's all you against me.......he's a negative nanny........has never said anything positive yet and I don't happen to believe it's all gloom and doom.....if that was the case market and world should have been toast after the great depression
01[11:09] {Threei}  you have a choice of equities and commodities,
01[11:09] {Threei}  you know that economy is in the crapper,
[11:10] {nemo} dino arguably commodities are pricing in deflation
[11:10] {dino} i've read death of money. but if all are printing like crazy.....?
01[11:10] {Threei}  will you put money in equities which are more liquid and easier to exit when shit hnits the fan
01[11:10] {Threei}  or commodities that are more sensitive toeconomy state, less liquid and harder to get mom and pop in?
[11:11] {dino} nemo, pehaps, but that doesn't make sense w/the printing, unless they have lost the war...
[11:11] {ese} the financial world is just like bacteria ...............it simply adjusts to the latest pennicillan and carries on
01[11:11] {Threei}  IMO, you'll get in equities and create an idiotic story about "great rotation"
[11:11] {Will49} if everyone stays on the merry-go-round, it should never tip
01[11:11] {Threei}  enticing retail investor in
[11:11] {dino} but 3i, commoditites can be bought just as equities, think fcx, clf, etc...they are crushed
01[11:11] {Threei}  and that's why we see equities lift while commodities stay put
[11:11] {nemo} that's right dino
[11:12] {scottie} OKE l .75 if holds .65 ?
01[11:12] {Threei}  yes but they are less liquid
[11:12] {dino} no they are not, clf 3 million shares so far today

[11:12] {nemo} mmhhh, that got out of hand
[11:13] {ese} now that was funny
[11:13] {nemo} that's what I said when my carbine went full-auto
[11:13] {dino} lol
01[11:13] {Threei}  you lost me ese... you again are talking about what Ben says
01[11:13] {Threei}  who cares?
[11:13] {ese} lol......now thats a good one too
[11:14] {nemo} oh boy this market looks like trap door about to drop
01[11:14] {Threei}  I am asking you whether you have a problem with what he does
[11:14] {thomcbell} jcp - come on
01[11:14] {Threei}  he is federal reserve chairman, not a cheerleader, for all I care he may not speak at all
[11:14] {ese} ya i guess so........he does nothing
[11:14] {nemo} monthly pivots 148.60ish spy 138 FAS 88.62 iwm
01[11:14] {Threei}  nothing?
[11:15] {ese} at least not that i can see anyway
01[11:15] {Threei}  $80B every month created out of thin ait
[11:15] {dino} imo 3i, ben's problem is the other governments figured out his devaluation game and are trying to beat him at it
01[11:15] {Threei}  tthis is nothing?
[11:15] {ese} lets say he's ineffective
01[11:15] {Threei}  1T a year
01[11:15] {Threei}  you are not hearing me, ese
01[11:15] {Threei}  $1T a year
01[11:15] {Threei}  how is this nothing?
01[11:16] {Threei}  and what do yiou expect him to do to be effective?
01[11:16] {Threei}  he is monetary policy chief
[11:16] {nemo} I'm not going to blame Bennie completely.  His naivete regarding Congress stepping up to the plate though was juvenile.  The only way this thing works is they get their feces assembled.  Ain't happening
01[11:16] {Threei}  can you create jobs by pure monetary plicies?
[11:17] {nemo} no, and he's pleaded with Congress before
01[11:17] {Threei}  see OKE, scottie?
01[11:17] {Threei}  trap
[11:17] {nemo} fat chance
[11:17] {dino} i think everybody/countries are all f#cked together on this, so salvation thru inflation, by printing like crazy
[11:17] {Will49} that's it
[11:18] {ese} whats it?
[11:18] {Will49} so let's make sure we're on the right side
[11:18] {Will49} everybody prints
[11:18] {dino} yes will, you and i see whats happening
[11:18] {Will49} remember..the golden rule
[11:18] {Will49} he who has the gold.....
[11:18] {ese} yup
[11:19] {dino} its a concentrated effort by governments around the world, a grand experiment
[11:19] {Will49} so, don't bet against the fed
[11:19] {Will49} hope the experiment works
[11:19] {ese} well thats true
01[11:19] {Threei}  I suspect we are nearing the end of that rule
[11:19] {Will49} all we CAN do is hope
[11:19] {Will49} and play the odds
[11:20] {dino} your tell is to watch oil, copper, iron, etc. don't worry until they move seriously
01[11:20] {Threei}  and for the first time in fed history we will see them losing control
[11:20] {ese} thats probably a good point too vad.......
01[11:20] {Threei}  they seriously overplayed their hand with this balance sheet expansion
01[11:20] {Threei}  and confidence becomes an issue
[11:20] {dino} well 3i, it is what it is. they never saw the last real estate bubble either. so were they in control then?
01[11:21] {Threei}  no, and we had nice juicy crash
01[11:21] {Threei}  so they acted
01[11:21] {Threei}  and overreacted
01[11:21] {Threei}  and pushed pendulum too far
[11:21] {nemo} limit down in the premarket, yahoooooooo!!!!
[11:21] {dino} only difference now is all major governments are printing
[11:22] {Will49} print/manipulate.....repeat
[11:23] {Will49} the sheeple don't get it and the politicians stay in power
[11:23] {dino} exactly will. no free markets. accept and play
01[11:23] {Threei}  here is what I am trying to say, before we lose the plot:
[11:23] {Will49} scottie...hope you're minding the store for us:)
01[11:24] {Threei}  with thias balance sheet expansion, Fed's ability to maintain things in order becomes an issue for many, and this will lead to bond buyers revolt
01[11:24] {Threei}  and when that happens, Fed will remain the only bond buyer
01[11:24] {Threei}  which means the end of borrowing
[11:24] {dino} perhaps, but revolt and go where?
01[11:24] {Threei}  doesn't matter, they will stop buying US bonds
01[11:25] {Threei}  and that's what matters
01[11:25] {Threei}  they don't buy it now because they like them,
[11:25] {dino} well they won't buy euro or japanese bonds. they are doing the same
01[11:25] {Threei}  they just see the prettiest gurl in uglky camp
[11:25] {dino} as is britain, etc.
01[11:26] {Threei}  they'll go cash, gold, oil, whatever
01[11:26] {Threei}  land
01[11:26] {Threei}  it doesn't matter much
[11:26] {dino} agreed, see my post above. watch oil, copper, iron, etc
01[11:26] {Threei}  what matters is, Fed won't be able to keep things running if it remains alone in bond market
01[11:27] {Threei}  that's when borrowing stops,
01[11:27] {Threei}  and massive bankruptsy comes,
01[11:27] {Threei}  at the mnicipal, state and federal level
01[11:27] {Threei}  with public spending crashing down
01[11:27] {Threei}  this is where all these idiots lead us,
01[11:27] {Threei}  and Ben enables them
01[11:28] {Threei}  and that, ese, the problem with him, not what he says while doing that
01[11:28] {Threei} Short Setup: FB  .75 break
01[11:30] {Threei}  and if you think the problem is that he is doing nothing, this is exactly the opposite. We would be much better off if he did nothing
[11:30] {dino} i can agree with that. however, you play the hand you are dealt. so it doesn't matter until it does
[11:30] {ese} I'm listening but the only thing thats going through my mind..............is................
[11:31] {ese} trade what you see.................
01[11:31] {Threei}  we are not talking about trading, we are talking abvout economy prospects
01[11:31] {Threei}  and feds role
[11:32] {ese} ya but dino is right.........we have no contral here so it doesn't matter until it happens
01[11:32] {Threei}  well, it's your beef with ben that we discuss {G}
01[11:32] {Threei}  mine is very different
[11:33] {ese} agreed
01[11:33] {Threei}  you want him to talk rosy talks and do... what is it you want him to do?
01[11:33] {Threei}  no go FB

01[14:08] {Threei}  I don't see an ything at .10
01[14:08] {Threei}  .15 is a downtrend break
01[14:08] {Threei}  .10 is random level
[14:09] {dptl} ok
[14:11] {dptl} what about JCP?
01[14:11] {Threei}  ?

01[14:13] {Threei}  no
01[14:13] {Threei}  euro double-botomed as I suggested it could
01[14:14] {Threei}  took SPY weith it, and many dumping stocvks started trying to reberse
01[14:14] {Threei}  reversal might fail but why would you try and short while it's unclear?
01[14:14] {Threei}  flow with the market, don't guess
01[14:15] {Threei}  look at euro, look at SPY
01[14:15] {Threei}  see what works as an engine today?
[14:16] {dptl} ok so NE .15 long is valid set up?
01[14:17] {Threei}  as long as you are OK with stop under 36, and see market continue strenghtening
[14:17] {dptl} i see
01[14:17] {Threei}  what would you want FXE to do to support your idea of a long?
[14:18] {dptl} break 130?
01[14:18] {Threei}  korreqt
01[14:19] {Threei}  SPY, desirably to follow with .90 break
01[14:19] {Threei}  if that all aligns and NE is still strong and follows with its own break, tAke it
01[14:19] {Threei}  see? so far Euro gainst strength,
01[14:20] {Threei}  SPY works hard to follow
01[14:20] {Threei}  I am not sure NE is the best candidate to play this bounce, but the general idea is this
01[14:21] {Threei}  determine martket action, define your road signs
01[14:21] {Threei}  today it's abviously all about Euro,
01[14:21] {Threei}  Italy election being main focus of attention
01[14:21] {Threei}  tomorrow it will be something else
01[14:21] {Threei}  be tuned in to these things, then you have a leading indicator so to speak
[14:22] {dptl} i see
01[14:22] {Threei}  alternatively, be dino - play stocks that live in their own world disregarding general market conditions
01[14:23] {Threei}  since their own news overpower everything else

COMING THIS WEEK

***COMING THIS WEEK***  by TradeTheNews

 *IN THE NEWS*

- UK Gilts and banks are expected to be in focus on Monday's session, after Moody's cut the UK's sovereign rating from Aaa to Aa1. There has been ongoing press debate about whether or not the downgrade has already been priced into Gilts. Additionally, following the move by Moody's, various UK press reports suggested that Chancellor Osborne could be pressured to relax his fiscal consolidation plan. Dealers are now expected to focus on the March 20th budget statement for further clarity on the UK's fiscal outlook, as the country's sovereign outlook remains negative at S&P and Fitch. On the growth front, the second estimate of the UK's Q4 GDP is due to be released on Wed Feb 27th. DMO is not schedule to hold any bond auctions this week.

- Italian elections: According to press reports the turnout for the elections may be lower than expected, amid reports that a large turnout could benefit Berlusconi and Grillo. An article in the FT suggested that many are expecting a close outcome. The polls are due to close at 3 pm (local time) on Monday and the results could come on Monday night or early Tuesday.

- BoJ Governor Position: Press reports have suggested that the head of the Asia Development Bank Haruhiko Kuroda is believed to be the frontrunner for the BoJ governor position. An official announcement could come later this week. According to prior reports, Kuroda has been a proponent of aggressive easing measures. Outgoing BoJ Gov Shirakawa is due to step down on March 19th.

- Fed Chair Bernanke is due to give his semi-annual economic testimony before Senate and House committees on Feb 26-27th, amid recent calls from some Fed officials for the QE program to be altered if economic conditions permit. Bernanke is also due to speak on Friday, March 1st. In comments made by Bernanke thus far in 2013 he has maintained that the US economy and labor market are recovering at only a slow pace. Additionally, Bernanke has downplayed any inflation risks related to the Fed's easing measures.

- US fiscal debate: In terms of the US sequester, President Obama is still said to be open to negotiations related to the matter, while Republicans have been less flexible (FT). The sequester-related fiscal cuts are due to take effect, starting on March 1.
