Oct 29 2013

Finished the day brilliantly, with 4 wins 2 of which were 1:er3s - and still remained in red, so hectic trading in the first half if the day was. A few too many rinses and invalidations made it almost impossible to fix although we minimized the damage significantly. Oh well, a bug day. Tomorrow we will be a windshield again.

[15:12] {+cc_9} Started .84 first
[15:12] {+cc_9} added .59 for shits and giggles
[15:12] {+cc_9} then when I found out nemo was working for mm, I loaded .31
[15:12] {+cc_9} dumped increments over .70

[15:14] {Les} used to think like that
[15:14] {nemo} step outside your door
[15:14] {+cc_9} (here comes the analogy bash)
[15:14] {Les} then Vad slapped it out of me
[15:14] {nemo} get married
[15:15] {Les} now I'd have cardiac arrest before averaging down to what you did there...
[15:15] {+cc_9} That's nothing...
[15:15] {+cc_9} its just FB
[15:15] {+cc_9} I've done way worse
[15:15] {nemo} what was that stock you did a few months ago and whacked you for a few k
[15:15] {+cc_9} diff from first to last buy was about $0.50
[15:15] {nemo} averaging down
[15:15] {+cc_9} that's not big a deal
[15:15] {nemo} was it spy?

[15:26] {+cc_9} had too many positions open, did not want to baby sit
[15:26] {nemo} ahhh
[15:26] {+cc_9} took $0.20 and moved on
[15:26] {+cc_9} the other thing was, SPY did not yet tank at that time
[15:26] {+cc_9} I figured if the main index rolls over, IWM would take a major hit
[15:26] {+cc_9} so took a few pennies instead of wishing i had never gotten in

[10:34] {ese} wheres the beef?  good question......no one can afford it

01[10:34] {&Threei}  More people in America today are on welfare than have full-time jobs.

[10:34] {RonS} gd george bush...

[10:35] {Alexs} don't tell me that bush is not to blame

[10:35] {Will49} don't get ese started

[10:38] {RonS} ...keeps the unem[ployment #'s low...

[10:38] {Alexs} people don't want to wark that's the problem

01[10:38] {&Threei}  This United States of Welfare isn't the fault of the financial crisis or the Tea Party or President Bush. Nor are Americans lazy.

01[10:38] {&Threei}  It's the fault of big-spending Keynesian policies put in place under President Obama that punish entrepreneurs, overregulate the economy, and hit small business with new taxes and uncertainty at a time when growth should be robust.

01[10:38] {&Threei}  they do when there is a motivation, alex

[10:38] {Alexs} who said that?

01[10:39] {&Threei}  theyu don't when welfare pays more

[10:39] {+cc_9} NQ about to lose $9.00 oh MY

01[10:39] {&Threei}  NQ panic starts

[10:46] {RonS} ...off to see the Wizard?

[10:47] {ese} i definitely agree with that

[10:47] {nemo} then it depends on the installed programs ie: value systems

[10:47] {ese} nemo

[10:47] {ese} agreed again

[10:47] {nemo} that's why Europe, or at least Germany used to track students according to perceived intelligence in the educational system

[10:48] {ese} the brightest and most motivated kids we have at my school are the international kids that come from germany

[10:48] {nemo} they identify children early and put them into educational tracks

[10:55] {drewj} I got a bit

[10:55] {thomcbell} very nice Vad

01[10:55] {&Threei}  :)

[10:55] {Will49} how nice for you Vad

[10:55] {+cc_9} SOHU what a drag...

[10:55] {Will49} will=bummed out

[10:56] {Alexs} what was the problem to get FB?

[10:56] {+cc_9} NQ closing in on $8s again

[10:57] {Will49} alex...i miss too many of these rippers

[10:57] {Will49} just take eye of screen or it just rips past my order price

[10:57] {+cc_9} NQ the flushathon begins

[10:57] {goinshort} got FB thanks

01[10:58] {&Threei}  yw

[10:58] {thomcbell} after consolidation - dang 8.86 short break

[10:59] {Will49} other tha paying more attention...anyone have any suggestions for me?

[10:59] {+cc_9} SOHU, its like nobody wants the discount 

[11:00] {thomcbell} or short near 8.98 with 9.01 stop 

01[11:00] {&Threei}  I don't know ehat else to say will... why would you take your eyes off screen as stock approaches trigger

[11:01] {thomcbell} dang is nice looking reverse cup and handle here 

[11:01] {nemo} you could learn how to program a buy stop order

[11:01] {Will49} not so much that Vad, I just don't get the fills

01[11:01] {&Threei}  meh

[11:01] {nemo} or sell stop as the case may be

01[11:01] {&Threei}  same problem as with automated stops, nemo

[11:02] {nemo} I know, no perfect solution

[11:02] {Will49} usually don't have time to put in a stop oder

01[11:02] {&Threei}  maybe old "hover" trick, will

01[11:02] {&Threei}  it worked nicely with laser, I assume it should with das

[11:02] {Will49} ?

01[11:02] {&Threei}  here is how you do it:

[11:02] {nemo} I knew a girl who was like a Hoover

[11:02] {+cc_9} NQ { $8.00

01[11:03] {&Threei}  you want to buy break of .10,

01[11:03] {&Threei}  you put it limit at , say, .12,

[11:03] {+cc_9} FB looks like a long trade here on 15min

[11:03] {dino} know a few of them too nemo, good girls

01[11:03] {&Threei}  hover your cursor over Buy buttown,

[11:03] {nemo} yep

01[11:04] {&Threei}  as stock approaches triger, you depress the mouse button but do not release it until .10 is crossed.

[11:04] {Will49} ah...that's interesting

01[11:04] {&Threei}  If trigger is there, you just release a button - faster than full click,

01[11:04] {&Threei}  Now,

[11:04] {+cc_9} SOHU sideways could bring in some bottom feeders

01[11:04] {&Threei}  if a stock retreats from .10

01[11:05] {&Threei}  you move your cursor away from Buy and then release it

01[11:05] {&Threei}  somewhat dangerous trick as you may release it accidentally before moving away from hover position

01[11:06] {&Threei}  but with little practice and paying attention, it becomes pretty much automatic

[11:06] {dino} lol

[11:06] {+cc_9} SOHU some bids now

[11:06] {Will49} i'll try that

01[12:33] {&Threei}  make a new globe with no Slovenia on it, no one but nearest neighbors will notice

01[12:34] {&Threei}  or ask anyone on the street where Slovenia is...

[12:39] {nemo} Quote of the Series, from Jonny Gomes to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, concerning the fact that he was only in the lineup Sunday night because Shane Victorino’s back tightened up and forced him to the bench, giving Gomes the chance to hit the game-winning three-run home run: “I had to ‘Tonya Harding’ Victorino.”

Barron's Saturday summary

Barron's Saturday summary: positive on KSS, WAG, FRM; cautious on MCD

Cover story: In Americas snail economy, government wrangling over deficits is pointless unless Washington confronts a bigger threat: the coming decline in economic growth. The new slow-growth era could have broad repercussions that will affect not only the pugilists in Washington but businesses and investors. Weaker growth will make it harder for companies to improve earnings, fatten dividends, or garner better stock returns. It also threatens to fan social inequality and class tensions and limit the ability of government to fund various entitlement programs.

Features:
1) Positive on KSS: Stock has remained in a holding pattern for some time, but could rally to the mid-$60s as management works to spur store traffic, boost profits, and reward shareholders with extra cash.
2) Positive on WAG: Company is transforming itself into a global chain with Alliance Boots partnership, which should help it lift sales, enhance drug purchasing clout, slash costs, and boost earnings and margins.
3) Summary of Barrons Art of Successful Investing conference, where panelists top picks include ORCL, SNDK, SWKS, ATLS, SD, NOV, AET, AAPL, JDSU, Orkla, PARR, BERY, Daiwa Securities, CS, gold, SATS, SIA Engineering, ST Engineering).

Small Caps: Positive on FRM: Company has undergone a major transformation under CEO Charles Cox, centralizing its previously disparate global operations, and should benefit as refineries catch up on deferred maintenance.

Tech Trader: Tiernan Ray says AAPL should not heed Carl Icahns call for a massive share repurchase, noting the move isnt likely to benefit the company and that good corporate governance doesnt require managing the stock price to constantly drive it higher.

Trader: Cautious on MCD: Food chain appears to have lost its way, with more complex menus and no new hits, P/E ratio is likely to keep dropping until a turnaround effort succeeds; Companies in the top ten percent of those with both highest dividend yields and highest dividend covers include CVX, ESV, and AGU; Negative on STP: Chinese solar panel maker is in deep trouble, and rising share price suggests many investors are ignoring the company's rapid and fundamental deterioration.

Follow-Up: Positive on BLK: Though shares are up and another big gain isnt likely in the next 12 months, they still have room to climb, and could see another 15% boost based on firms diverse lineup of active and passive funds, strong cash flow, and good management; Cautious on GIS: Though company faces growing competition in its yogurt and cereal divisions, commodity costs have eased, overseas sales are strong, and new products are being released.

Hedge Funds: Interview with Gregg Winter, Co-Founder, W Financial Fund, which makes bridge loans to well-established real estate owners, operators, and developers primarily in solid New York City neighborhoods.

European Trader: Spains economy is showing signs of emerging from its prolonged slump, and though investors should exercise caution, now could be a good time for investors to pick up bargains (Positive on Amadeus IT Holdings, Ebro Foods, Repsol).

Asian Trader: Gaming sector in Macau continues to be strong, with shares up an average of 22% in past month and 45% over past three months (Positive on Melco Crown, Galaxy Entertainment, MCM China, Sands China, SJM Holdings, Wynn Macau).

Emerging Markets: China has been undergoing a transition to a consumer economy for some time, but with rally mostly over, investors need to be more discerning about picks; strong sectors include cosmetics and overseas travel (Positive on Sa Sa International Holdings).

Commodities: Zinc futures are likely to see a boost because of booming construction in China combined with mine closures, which could propel prices about 20% higher over the next couple of years.

Streetwise: Cautious on GIB: Though shares are down for lead contractor of governments new healthcare website, that isnt a buying opportunity, as they are near their all-time high and Canadian tech company is likely to face more blowback from turmoil surrounding Obamacare.

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Markets Back to the New Abnormal

Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:07 PM EST

- With political noise out of the way, investors got back to focusing on fundamentals this week. Economic data delayed by the fiscal battle in Washington, DC was released, most notably the September jobs report. The weak numbers reinforced the sense that there is little chance that the Fed will begin tapering QE at either its October or December meetings. As has been the case over and over this year, 'bad news' was taken for 'good news,' and market closed higher after the weak jobs data. In Europe, advanced October manufacturing PMI readings were lackluster - France's stayed in contraction for the 20th straight month - although the first reading of the UK Q3 GDP was pretty good, with the y/y figure at +1.5%, the best growth rate since early 2010. Earnings were a mixed bag, while the dollar continued to weaken. Nevertheless, the S&P500 pushed out to fresh all-time highs. For the week, the DJIA gained 1.1%, the S&P500 rose 0.9% and the Nasdaq added 0.7%.

- On Tuesday, the Labor Department released the delayed September jobs report. Non-farm payrolls were +148K, more than 30K below expectations, but largely offset by an upward revision in the August payroll figures. Unemployment fell to 7.2%, the lowest level since November 2008. Traders clearly discounted the data, waiting instead for the October report, which will include the full impact of the US fall fiscal crisis. The consensus view is that the soft jobs data assures that the Fed will not begin the taper at its October 29-30th policy meeting, and a growing number of analysts now expect the taper to be put off until the Spring of 2014. Note that the yield on the 10-year UST bottomed out at around 2.5% this week.

- The Shanghai Composite fell 2.8% this week on some uncertainty in money markets. The PBoC refrained from conducting open market operations during the week, and Chinese money market rates rose all week long. Overnight Shibor had pushed out to its highest levels since June by week's end. Additionally, the PBoC took more steps toward interest rate liberalization by announcing that it would allow banks to set a prime lending rate while phasing out its own policy lending rate. Data showed that Chinese new home prices continued to soar in September, with average house prices in 70 major cities up 9.1% year-on-year, making it the 9th consecutive month of increases.

- Shares of tech darlings Amazon and Netflix saw sizable gains on very good results. Netflix added nearly 1.3M new US subscribers, pushing its total US subscriber base higher than HBO's. Strong revenue at Amazon set it up for another record holiday season and a return to profitability in Q4. Microsoft also had solid results, and said that consumer PC Demand was better than anticipated. Not all the tech earnings were rosy: Broadcom, Altera, and Juniper Networks all saw steep losses after offering disappointing Q4 guidance.

- Caterpillar took a step down this week after reporting poor Q3 results and cutting its FY13 guidance yet again. Most of the softness comes from Cat's mining business, where revenue is expected to fall 40% y/y in FY13 thanks to slowing growth in China. Defense names General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon offered very good results and seem to be thriving despite the sequester cuts. Boeing's adjusted earnings topped expectations for the eighth straight quarter. Ford saw record Q3 profits and raised its total FY13 outlook to be higher y/y.

- UPS had a firmly in-line third quarter. Executive said some retailers were cautious about the holiday season outlook but expect to see more online orders, and indicated UPS's daily volumes would rise about 8% y/y due to fewer shopping days since Black Friday comes late in November this year. Delta soared on good growth while United couldn't get off the ground. UAL's CEO said management was "not satisfied with our financial performance."

- In the materials space, 3M was flat despite hiking FY guidance, while DuPont shares gained a few points on modest outperformance. Dow Chemical was a bomb, with shares down 6% on the week after the company said it had raised its asset divestiture target, including most of its performance materials business, which it blamed for a weak quarter. Mining giant Freeport crushed expectations.

- Dollar weakness remained a theme in FX markets. The euro made another big move up after the weak US jobs report, with EUR/USD pushing out to two-year highs in the low 1.3800 handle from 1.3670 ahead of the data. USD/JPY moved back into the 97 handle after the jobs data and by Friday had briefly dipped below 96, but remained above its US fiscal food fight low of 96.60.

- In Japan, the Abe Administration was happy to see September CPI break out to +1.1%, ahead of expectations. However, the main reason for the surprise was the rapid increase in food prices - Core CPI, ex food inflation, remained subdued, though it posted its first non-negative number since 2008. The September trade numbers indicated another big trade deficit, the 15th in a row. Shipments from China, Japan's largest trade partner, rose by 30.9% to a record high of ¥1.68T
