Nov 26 2008

What happened to brutal cruel hectic murderous market of late? Where did this gentle forgiving generous kitten come from? I am afraid to jinx it... but this is easiest money in I don't know how long. One more thing to be thankful for.

Happy Thanskgiving to everyone!

[08:25] {Threei}  BALTIC DRY BULK INDEX FALLS 5.1%, LOWEST LEVEL SINCE JAN 1987
[08:25] {Threei}  {DRYS DSX EGLE SHY TLT}
[08:28] {Threei}  e-mails I get...
[08:28] {Threei}  Canada
[08:28] {Threei} 
[08:28] {Threei}  If the federal government sent each and every one of us a $600
[08:28] {Threei}  Rebate........As was done in the U.S of A. Recently.
[08:28] {Threei}  --------------
[08:28] {Threei}  If we spend it at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .
[08:28] {Threei}  -----------
[08:28] {Threei}  If we spend it on gasoline, the money will go to the Arabs.
[08:28] {Threei}  ------------
[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase a computer it will go to India
[08:28] {Threei} 
[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala
[08:28] {Threei}  --------------
[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase a car, it will go to Japan or Mexico .
[08:28] {Threei}  -----------
[08:28] {Threei}  If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan
[08:28] {Threei}  and none of it will help the Canadian economy.
[08:28] {Threei}  -------------
[08:28] {Threei}  The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it on
[08:28] {Threei}  prostitutes, weed, beer, rye whisky and tattoos since these are the only
[08:28] {Threei}  products still produced in CANADA.

[13:21] {Threei}  chart wise, 5.05 becomes a long trigger if stays above 4.90

[14:40] {Threei}  funny... automakers come asking for 25 B, PTB demands plan and guarantees

[14:40] {Geo} auto workers dont have their college buddies with their hands on the taps
[14:40] {Threei}  banks don't free the credit,
[14:41] {Threei}  and no one ever thinks of any kind of conditions and consequences to attach?
[14:41] {Threei}  now, I am bank,
[14:41] {Threei}  I am holding credit frozen,
[14:41] {Threei}  I am given hundreds of billions to do that
[14:42] {Threei}  but no one demands anything
[14:42] {Threei}  so, I am either to unlock that credit
[14:42] {Threei}  or sit and look pretty
[14:42] {Threei}  and more billions will be given.
[14:42] {Threei}  What I am going to do?
[14:43] {magoo} cnbc keeps saying 20% rally coming 
[14:43] {Onix} wait for some more billions to be given

Nov 25 2008

Somewhat boring and mildly profitable day. Just 5 trades, 4 of them wins, 1 stop. Couple worked nicely, particularly UAUA for 40 cents. Boring though. Though profitable. Even though boring. But I am willing to yawn on my way to the bank.

[10:04] {Threei}  more from amazing Paulson:
[10:04] {Threei}  NEW FACILITY IS AIMED AT RESTORING AFFORDABLE MORTGAGE FINANCE
[10:04] {Threei}  - The lack of consumer credit is weakening economy, asset-backed securities are essentially frozen.
[10:04] {Threei}  - Warns it will take time to work thorugh the many economic problems faced by the economy.
[10:04] {Threei}  - The $20B for consumer credit is targeted at reducing the cost of small business loans.
[10:04] {Threei}  I give up

Nov 24 2008

Beautiful calm strong day. Not much of hectic action except last 10-15 minutes. Just one small stop at the beginning of day, the rest of trades worked like charm, and many for much more than scalps. Notably, GG for $1, QQQQ for 50 cents, etc. Nice to see normal action for a change. Got a whiff of what was coming early:

{10:09}  my impression of market action is, it wants to climb the wall of worry today. Barring news, feels like we are in for a nice upside move

... and stayed with it, catching second leg of the rally just in time:

{13:58}  feels like market gathering forces and probing ground for another powerful rally. One more pullback is likely before main push comes.

Worked out like a clockwork.

Session Time: Mon Nov 24 00:00:00 2008
