9 calls, 8 wins - need I say more? One of those days when patterns just work, despite all the assurances from everywhere that HFT, algos and whatnot have destroyed them da patterns. And stole your lunch. And breakfast. GDX, GLD, FCX, CAT, FB - things just work when there is volume.

[13:00] {Les} NUS interesting here
[13:00] {Les} not for me though
[13:05] {Alexs} fcx looks long now
01[13:05] {&Threei}  if SPY continues yes... I'll refrain personally
[13:05] {Les} yeh went and bought sso as a hedge .62 long
[13:06] {dino} armh hl l .99
[13:08] {robbers} So Vad, FCX follows the spy...true for all metals and metal miners or not?
[13:08] {Alexs} fcx depends more on SPY or GLD?
[13:09] {Les} little more off sso 1:2
01[13:11] {&Threei}  difficult to say today alex, they seem to move together more or less
01[13:11] {&Threei}  robbers, it changes... today they move together. Often they move in opposite directions
01[13:11] {&Threei}  depends on the underlying reason
01[13:12] {&Threei}  when it's USD weakness that drives everything, they tend to move together
[13:12] {robbers} Yeah, it would seem something like GLD would usually move opposite.  But I do understand the exceptions.
01[13:12] {&Threei}  when it's some kind of disaster, SPY tends to drop while PMs tend to move up
[13:13] {robbers} Thanks for the education, really interesting.
[13:14] {robbers} So, a disaster like Congress being in session, LOL.
01[13:15] {&Threei}  well
01[13:15] {&Threei}  kind of
[13:16] {Les} market already factored these idiots in lol
01[13:16] {&Threei}  which reminds me a joke one gal offered when we spoke about Congress
01[13:17] {&Threei}  and someone said "idiots, etc"
01[13:17] {&Threei}  She said, you guys know the major complaint women have about man's vital organ?
01[13:17] {&Threei}  There is a man attached to the other end of it.
01[13:18] {&Threei}  Similarly, complaints about Congress should be viewed through the same prism - it's YOU good folks who elect them
01[13:18] {&Threei}  You are attached to the other end of it.
01[13:18] {&Threei}  No go FCX, first stop
[13:20] {robbers} I don't vote for US politicians.  It's always a choice between dumb and dumber.

Oct 21 2013

Strong opening to the week, with many trades working nicely in both directions. GDX, GLD, CAT (this one gave us one win and one small stop), FB - usual suspects so to speak.


Session Time: Mon Oct 21 00:00:01 2013
[09:06] {dino} gm
01[09:08] {&Threei}  morning dino
[09:15] {dino} empty room today
01[09:16] {&Threei}  folks wake up last minute
[09:18] {RonS} howdy y'all
01[09:18] {&Threei}  ron :)
[09:18] {Will49} gm
01[09:18] {&Threei}  will :)
01[09:19] {&Threei}  see dino, they sleep till last drop of sleep because they haven't discovered the great truth about trading: you don't have to wake up at all for that
[09:20] {nemo} Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." –Mark Twain
[09:20] {nemo} I guess I should stop talking to Les
01[09:21] {&Threei}  judging from my couple weeks ago experience of talking with some members of the most militant BC union, that's true
01[09:22] {&Threei}  you wouldn't believe it... key phrase after which I realized the only way to talk to them is not to talk to them:
[09:22] {Alexs} gm
01[09:23] {&Threei}  "seeing all the unfairness and inequality, why don't we simply transfer all the monetary decisions - pricing, salaries etc - and economic assets to the government, and let people electing it rule themselves"
01[09:23] {&Threei}  alex :)
01[09:24] {&Threei}  I swera, this was actually said, and they all nodded
[09:26] {ese} gm
01[09:26] {&Threei}  ese :)

[10:01] {nemo} the democrats will blame it on the shutdown
01[10:01] {&Threei}  of course they will
01[10:01] {&Threei}  they will blame poor weather on shutdown
01[10:01] {&Threei}  and hurricane on sequester
01[10:02] {&Threei}  too bad we had no hurricanes to speak of this year
01[10:02] {&Threei}  global warming folks will have to come up with answer to this one... and I suspect shutdown will be the answer

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Stocks Charge Higher After US Debt Stalemate Ends with a Whimper

- The United State Congress managed not to let the country default on its debts this week, passing a bill to reopen the government and to raise the debt ceiling for a few months. After two weeks of a government shutdown, the Congressional bluster quieted and a backroom deal was reached just ahead of the Treasury's October 17th debt ceiling deadline. All in all, the impact of the shutdown is expected to be fleeting, though S&P suggests it cost the United States $24 billion in economic activity, and will shave about 0.6% off of Q4 GDP, not to mention sacrificing a significant but intangible amount of the country's international standing. In response to Washington's brinkmanship, Fitch put its AAA US rating on watch negative and Chinese agency Dagong cut its US rating to A- from A, while investor Warren Buffett labeled the debt limit a "political weapon of mass destruction." The GOP and the Congress garnered record-low approval ratings. Meanwhile earnings season rolled on, with 75% of the S&P500 companies that reported this week meeting or beating consensus expectations. Very weak showings at Goldman Sachs and IBM hampered the DJIA, while the S&P500 closed out the week at new all-time highs and the Nasdaq pushed to within 100 points of the 4000 handle. For the week, the DJIA gained 1%, the S&P500 rose 2.4% and the Nasdaq surged 3.2%.

- Budget negotiations continued all through the weekend in the Senate following two weeks of squabbling in the House. Senators from both sides of the aisle stepped in to help outline a consensus solution, and by Tuesday Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell were reassuring the country that they were very close to a deal, which was passed by the Senate (81 to 18, with more than half of GOP members voting yes) and then the House (285 to 144, with 87 Republicans voting yes) on Wednesday. The agreement funds the government through January 15th and extends debt limit through Feb 7th, with the Treasury granted the authority to use extraordinary measures to push the debt limit through March. After the deal, McConnell pledged that he would not allow another shutdown or debt ceiling gambit aimed at defunding Obamacare. The deal also requires the creation of a bipartisan budget panel to facilitate negotiations on a longer-term debt reduction agreement. Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-WA) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) were tapped to lead the budget panel, which has been charged to reach a budget reconciliation by Dec 13 (a Friday). Most Washington insiders now expect that any agreement reached will likely be a modest reallocation of the automatic cuts imposed by the sequester rather than the elusive 'grand bargain.'

- Fed hawks Fisher and George offered contrasting opinions about the potential for tapering QE. Fisher said he does not expect QE bond buying to be reduced at the October FOMC meeting, warning that markets were too delicate at the moment to begin the taper. Fisher also said that personally he would not consider tapering a good idea in October due to the current fiscal standoff. Meanwhile George said the Fed should begin tapering QE now, while also cautioning that the time is not yet right for tightening rate policy.

- There were no surprises in most of China's September economic data, with the exception of trade numbers. Third quarter GDP growth was in line at 7.8%, supported by strong domestic and foreign demand. The GDP data continues to place China on path to achieve the government annual growth forecast of 7.5%, although there are still uncertainties about whether the current recovery is sustainable. September industrial production and retail sales met expectations. The China trade balance fell to a six-month low, with exports negative for the first time in three months. Imports were in line with expectations at +7.4%.

- WTI crude continued its extended its six-week decline, closing out the week just above the $100 handle. In Geneva, the P5+1 group of western powers plus Russia concluded a very positive two-day round of talks with Iran, and agreed to meet again on November 7-8th in order to keep talking. Newly elected Iranian President Rohani continued to make conciliatory statements, and the majors powers were cautiously optimistic about the change in tone, but cautioned that they were a long way from a breakthrough.

- The threat of the Fed taper during the last quarter took a bite out of Goldman Sachs, whose Q3 profits fell 2% and revenues dived 20%. CEO Blankfein said the results reflected "a period of slow client activity." Bank of America posting solid profits although revenue was down slightly y/y and loan growth was nearly flat. Citigroup's North America retail banking revenues fell 35% thanks to a big drop in mortgage origination revenue and fixed income revenue fell 26% y/y. Morgan Stanley reported very strong Q3 results, with earnings and revenue topping expectations on very strong growth in trading revenues at the firm. Note that Morgan Stanley's gains in equity trading revenue more than offset most of the decline in fixed-income, FX and commodity trading, where revenue fell 44%.

- IBM's revenue was severely compromised in certain areas: hardware revenues were down 17% y/y, and revenue in BRICs areas were down 15%, both largely due to slow China hardware sales. Management said execution issues and a pause related to China's government developing a new economic plan due in November caused Chinese hardware sales to plummet 40% in the quarter. Both Google and Yahoo saw double-digit gains in paid clicks, even as revenue per click for both declined. Shares of Google soared above $1,000 as the firm emphasized strong metrics, while Yahoo offered poor Q4 guidance, keeping shares in the red on the week. Intel beat expectations in its Q3, but delayed launching its 14nm 'Broadwell' chip production, hampering the stock.

- Earnings at Johnson & Johnson, Verizon, and American Express were pretty solid. J&J beat estimates and raised its FY13 guidance. Verizon's postpaid phone service and the FiOS internet business continue to see subscriber growth and overall revenue grew modestly. American Express saw strong gains in both US and international card services revenue. All indications are that customers continue to expand card spending at a steady rate.

- The dollar remained weak against the euro even after the end of the debt ceiling standoff. EUR/USD spiked up to the 1.3700 level late in the week, testing the January highs. There was plenty of snarky commentary out of the usual sources questioning the reserve currency status of the dollar, aiding the euro, the dollar's only realistic reserve currency alternative. ECB officials continue to soft-peddle the stability of the euro, however some admit they need to begin factoring in FX issue to the ECB inflation outlook.

01[09:24] {&Threei}  you guys want me to post the details of the deal in Congress?
01[09:24] {&Threei}  or we don't care?
[09:24] {Les} let's here it
[09:25] {Les} hear
[09:25] {ese} don't care...is the markt going up or down
01[09:25] {&Threei}  - The two-week standoff between the Republican-led House and the White House came to a head late on Wednesday, just hours before the Treasury-imposed default deadline of midnight. Cooler heads prevailed, as Senate leaders Reid and McConnell brokered a deal in the US hours, subsequently receiving the commitment from House leadership to go along with the accord which some have quickly dismissed as "kicking the can down the road."
01[09:25] {&Threei}  Indeed, under the provisions of the agreement, the govt will be funded through Jan 15 and debt limit extended through Feb 7th, with the Treasury granted the authority to use extraordinary measures to extend debt limit through March of 2014.
01[09:25] {&Threei}  Arguably however, the White House may have emerged out of this crisis stronger. Pres Obama will now hold the veto power to proceed with an increase in the debt ceiling, requiring a 2/3rd Congressional majority for an override and potentially diminishing the likelihood of another standoff in early 2014.
01[09:26] {&Threei}  Instead, the two sides will be forced into a more active discussion on the implications of controversial Obamacare reform and other fiscal matters with the mandated formation of a bipartisan budget panel established by mid-December to facilitate negotiations on a longer term debt reduction agreement. In the mean time, US Senate voted overwhelmingly 81-18 in favor of the end of govt shutdown and debt limit extension. In the House, over 80 Republican lawmakers crossed over to vote with the unanimous Democrat bloc for an overall 285 Yea to 144 Nay count.
01[09:26] {&Threei}  end
[09:27] {Will49} so now can we make some money:) ?
[09:27] {ese} republicans have signed there death warrant...........they are going to get creamed in the next election

[10:39] {RonS} saw the black dude who originally did "Your Still a Young Man" down in Gulfport MS...2 mos before he died...can't remember his name...guy was great...
[10:40] {nemo} Now why can't you remember Ron?
[10:40] {RonS} Harold Melville? Mervin?
[10:40] {nemo} I remember not remembering being at a few shows myself
[10:41] {RonS} was playing in a casino...not advertised...totally stumbled into it

[10:43] {Will49} kinda boring without the yappers in DC eh?
[10:44] {ese} that would have been cool ron
[10:44] {nemo} Had come from a "Tom Tom Club" gig-which was the "Talking Heads" without David Byrne.  I come around a corner and there's a bus parked in front of a club, and the sign placard above the windshield says "Albert Collins"  so, in I went.

01[11:14] {&Threei}  US markets have spent most of the morning in negative territory after Congress reached a deal to resolve the debt standoff on a very temporary basis. Note that terrible Q3 earnings at Goldman Sachs and IBM have slammed the DJIA.
[11:14] {Les} oops sorry
01[11:14] {&Threei}  if market went up, this headline would say:
[11:14] {Will49} this is your father speaking :)  Les
01[11:14] {&Threei}  market enthusiasm cou;n't be supressed even by terrible earning... etc
[11:15] {Les} coulda made it "Les, I AM YOUR FATHER!"
[11:15] {Les} that woulda been funny
01[11:15] {&Threei}  lol
[11:15] {Will49} lol les
01[11:16] {&Threei}  light sabres and heavy breathing
[11:17] {Les} two old geriatrics that need comedy lessons
[11:18] {Les} Vad, I can see you putting out a new book soon
01[11:18] {&Threei}  old geriatrics - isn't it a buttered butter?
[11:19] {Les} can't lay that buttered butter on thick enough I says
01[11:19] {&Threei}  ok GLD... how about you give us 126.90
[11:21] {drewj} seriously?

01[11:34] {&Threei}  WFC no go
01[11:34] {&Threei}  annoying day after first 30 min
[11:37] {nemo} if you account for dividend, 172.80 is spy all time high
[11:45] {nemo} Vad, you got the SPY all-time high party hat ready?
01[11:45] {&Threei}  gotta dust it off
[11:54] {thomcbell} vad do u have anything on right now?
01[11:54] {&Threei}  looking around...

[12:07] {nemo} should be good to .35 then seee what happens
[12:07] {Les} was gonna avoid guessing the top
[12:07] {Les} waiting for it to come down a little
01[12:08] {&Threei}  it's a valid setup
01[12:08] {&Threei}  .40 is a good support, .45 is a good resistance
01[12:10] {&Threei}  did MCD really dive to .11 or is it erroneous print?
[12:10] {Alexs} it did
[12:10] {Les} yeh
01[12:10] {&Threei}  missed it
[12:11] {Alexs} it was just 200 shares

01[13:03] {&Threei}  or some limited time window, like an hour or two?
01[13:03] {&Threei}  I see nothing even close to DBI
[13:04] {Alexs} last 15 min I mean
01[13:05] {&Threei}  if you cut them out of the day chart, yes... but that's not how you evaluate the chart configuration

[15:04] {Alexs} gap form may 8 nemo?
01[15:04] {&Threei}  yup, with huge volume
[15:05] {nemo} then it will probably bounce up to test the 200 day

[15:48] {nemo} huge buy imbalances
01[15:48] {&Threei}  well, when market was in that mode long enough we did adjust to it
01[15:48] {&Threei}  but when it's a one-off...
01[15:48] {&Threei}  index stop would have been hit too
01[15:49] {&Threei}  ok guys, let's close on this
01[15:49] {&Threei}  we will get them tomorrow
[15:49] {nemo} yeah, the imbalances just came out big to the buy side this is going up
