Apr 15 2105

Very solid day with a lot of nice plays. Notably, CELG 1:4 was the one that put us that far over the goal line that we could try and push for more without risking much.

01[10:43] {@Threei}  not too shabby
[10:44] {dino} ty, 3 for 3, at daily goal already.
01[10:45] {@Threei}  Poland's prime minister spoke out Wednesday against plans by a Russian motorcycle club to ride through Poland on a journey to Berlin to mark the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
01[10:45] {@Threei}  The Night Wolves, a nationalistic group loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, plan to retrace the westward path that Red Army soldiers took across eastern Europe as they fought Nazi troops.
[11:03] {dino} .
01[11:04] {@Threei} Long Setup:  IWM  .45 break
01[11:04] {@Threei}  If holds  .35
[11:12] {drewj} Vad I'd like to understand how you judge that a trade is invalid.
[11:13] {drewj} Do you wait until the price action is only 10 cents wide?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  if a stop level is hit before triggering
[11:13] {drewj} How does that relate
[11:13] {drewj} ?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  I don't understand, sorry
01[11:13] {@Threei}  look at IWM
[11:13] {drewj} Oh...because the price is too far away from the trigger?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  .45 is trigger
01[11:14] {@Threei}  .35 is condition
01[11:14] {@Threei}  if it loses .35 before triggering, it's invalidated
[11:14] {drewj} SO how can it become valid again?
01[11:14] {@Threei}  .35 is support level which, if lost is stopping trade or invalidating it
01[11:15] {@Threei}  if a trade is on already (.45 is broken), .35 becomes stop level
01[11:15] {@Threei}  if a trade never triggers, .35 remains invalidation level
[11:15] {drewj} So your trades all have S/R trigger and some support level as a stop?
01[11:16] {@Threei}  yes
[11:16] {jfjf64} First nice day here
[11:16] {jfjf64} Ant invasion
[11:16] {jfjf64} Can't win
01[11:16] {@Threei}  weather wise, jf?
[11:16] {drewj} Be careful jf...
[11:16] {jfjf64} Yes
[11:17] {drewj} Vad so what is the way you determine to fade a setup?
01[11:17] {@Threei}  I've no idea how to asnwer that :)
[11:17] {drewj} say something mysterious
01[11:18] {@Threei}  I work in mysterious ways
[11:18] {jfjf64} He stands on his head
[11:18] {drewj} oh my
01[11:18] {@Threei}  Invalidated  IWM
01[11:18] {@Threei}  see?
[11:18] {drewj} i have seen the light
01[11:18] {@Threei}  .35 is lost before triggering
[11:18] {drewj} but you do not want to short it?
01[11:18] {@Threei}  conditionof setup validity is not there anymore
01[11:19] {@Threei}  not really, it's too random time of the day now
[11:20] {drewj} so if the follow through were to be on the short side now it might be worth a look to short it?
[11:21] {jfjf64} Twtr s here
01[11:21] {@Threei}  often, yes
01[11:21] {@Threei}  .20 break, jf...
[11:22] {jfjf64} Yes
[11:22] {jfjf64} Tight stop
[11:23] {jfjf64} Invalid

[11:53] {jfjf64} Wuba
01[11:55] {@Threei}  The Greece situation keeps getting uglier. A German Finance Ministry official told the press that no one expects outstanding issues to be resolved by the April 24th Eurogroup meeting and echoed other commentators in saying that no progress being made in current negotiations.
[11:56] {jfjf64} Long 63.00

[11:57] {jfjf64} Going to lunch
[11:58] {jfjf64} Will shoot mysel later for takin .30 cents
[11:58] {jfjf64} Will be up 3.00 bucks
01[12:13] {@Threei}  German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on April 15 that the United States must play an important role in helping to solve the crisis in Ukraine
01[12:14] {@Threei}  amazing... troubles in their backyard, threatening them the most
01[12:14] {@Threei}  and it's US that need to solve it
01[12:15] {@Threei}  read this and tell me you don't eant to smack this guy over the head:
01[12:15] {@Threei}  "We will not fall back into the history of a 100 years ago that you can change with military force. For this we need the United States," Schaeuble said
01[12:15] {@Threei}  "We know that we need the United States. We know that we have to care as Europeans on this matter, better than most have expected that the Europeans would do, but it is difficult to get it. A difficult job," he said.
[12:20] {dino} once again, asking usa to carry the load
01[12:27] {@Threei}  yes - and no doubt, cursing it for being agressive right after
[12:30] {drewj} They can't do much themselves because they aren't allowed a military to do it.
01[12:31] {@Threei}  Germany yes, but what about the rest of EU
[12:31] {drewj} They bicker to much to stand united against Russia.
01[12:32] {@Threei}  there you go
[12:32] {drewj} Collectively they would have a chance but as separate whiny countries they can't do much.
01[12:33] {@Threei}  and so, which three countries send military personal to Ukraine now to train their army?
01[12:33] {@Threei}  answer is quite striking
01[12:34] {@Threei}  US, UK, Canada
[12:34] {dino}  putin will take all of ukraine before eu acts. and then they will just say, you can have ukraine but no more (which is basically what they said about crimea
[12:34] {drewj} Not sure.  US. UK
01[12:35] {@Threei}  yeah, and next thing you know, he says "ty, and btw, Moldova, Belarus, and a few more are mine too"
[12:35] {drewj} I almost had it
[12:35] {drewj} A new Hitler.
[12:35] {dino} rio drop
01[12:36] {@Threei}  yup... similarities are mind-boggling
[12:36] {dino} sm l .93 rio
[12:39] {dino} wow sage
[12:42] {dino} gs cuts rio to sell, stop to .03
[12:44] {dino} to .13
[12:47] {dino} to .16
[12:48] {dino} to .23
[12:49] {dino} out rio .23, +.30
[12:54] {drewj} Nice dino
[12:57] {dino} ty
[12:58] {drewj} GDX break .70?
01[12:59] {@Threei}  chart is right but too narrow and slow
01[12:59] {@Threei}  just doubt there is enough room for profit
[12:59] {drewj} So no follow through...?
01[13:01] {@Threei}  why, it may follow through just fine, it's just a very narrow mover
01[13:01] {@Threei}  you need something with enough room for movement
01[13:02] {@Threei}  unless you intend a scal for 5-6 cents with large shares
01[13:02] {@Threei}  scalp
01[13:02] {@Threei}  then yes, it's a good one
01[13:05] {@Threei}  remember scalp type 1 from scalping videocourse?
01[13:05] {@Threei}  this is perfect stock for that
01[13:06] {@Threei}  right about now you'd start feeding your shares into buying at .76
01[13:06] {@Threei}  let's say 3K out of 5
[13:07] {drewj} ok
[13:12] {drewj} This is really interesting to me Vad.
[13:12] {drewj} So follow through has nothing to do with the width then right?
[13:13] {drewj} Then that would mean the wide movers have to have more space between trigger and next S/R?
01[13:16] {@Threei}  follow through is a measurement of how well stocks follow the pattern
01[13:16] {@Threei}  width is a room for profit
[13:16] {drewj} So then dino would be on the extreem end of this conversation trading over-reactions with huge price swings?
01[13:16] {@Threei}  pretty much
01[13:17] {@Threei}  and notice this important element:
01[13:17] {@Threei}  while on this narrow mover we talk about large shares, to utilize relatively small move,
01[13:17] {@Threei}  in dino'sa case shares must be lower, to handle increased risk
[13:28] {dino} back in 30-45
[13:33] {drewj} GDX took off
01[13:46] {@Threei}  good chart is good chart
[13:57] {drewj} Vad you said GDX didn't have a lot of room for movement...did you say that because the price range before that was narrow as well?
01[13:57] {@Threei}  yeah, general range is too small
01[13:58] {@Threei}  on daily too
01[13:58] {@Threei}  it just rarely moves large
01[14:07] {@Threei}  anyone wants to cross the stix river to the valley of shadows?
01[14:07] {@Threei}  Chaeron is here
[14:08] {Chaeron} Hi everybody! I didn't want to interrupt the major flow of conversation....
01[14:08] {@Threei}  :)

01[11:41] {@Threei}  Officials at the IMF voiced doubts about the viability of Greece's membership of the euro zone given that Athens has repeated its threat to default on its obligations. IMF official Poul Thomsen warned that Greek negotiations were not working. These remarks were out this morning, after the FT reported yesterday that a Greek official stated "We have come to the end of the road?.?.?.?If the Europeans won't release bail-out cash, there is no alternative [to a default]."

01[14:23] {@Threei}  you guys have a strange system south of border...
01[14:23] {@Threei}  spoke to a friend recently who sold his house and bought new, so could compare
[14:23] {dino} i'm a speculator drew, i buy foreclosure houses have a crew fix them, then flip them. i've flipped 29 foreclosures in last ten years, of course the sale on my 30th falls through. oh well, theres always another buyer
01[14:24] {@Threei}  byters making an offer do not commit really, can pull out at any time
01[14:24] {@Threei}  buyers
01[14:24] {@Threei}  not so in Canada
[14:24] {dino} obummer must hate me, speculator in real estate, stocks, and options.
01[14:24] {@Threei}  there is a deposit attached to your offer, you do commit
[14:25] {dino} 3i, yes, they generally can leave deal without penalty by making up some bs reason
[14:25] {dino} deposits are very hard to keep
01[14:25] {@Threei}  you pull out, you lose deposit, and it's a sizeable chunk, 5-10K
01[14:25] {@Threei}  so no one makes offers willy-nilly
[14:26] {dino} used to be that way. but if financing is involved, buyers can walk away pretty easily

01[14:29] {@Threei}  financing falling through is valid reason here too, but in most cases RE agents require mortgage pre-approval
01[14:30] {@Threei}  so most issues are taken care of in advance
[14:30] {dino} here all guy has to do is say something to their bank, and the bank gives a bs reason not to approve the loan, then deal falls apart

01[14:31] {@Threei}  yeah, not much commitment... can be tough on seller
[14:31] {dino} you see vad, in america, nobody is responsible for their actions anymore

01[14:31] {@Threei}  I know
[14:33] {dino} i hire a small crew, they've been working for me for years. its better for me to pay them than to lose time trading or finding another fix/flip

01[11:44] {@Threei}  Earnings season gets underway this week with quarterly reports from the big US banks. Shares of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup are leading indices higher this morning, with good gains ahead of reports in the coming days. With the bulk of the major regulatory settlements behind them, the economy brightening and interest rate hikes not too far off, this earnings season could be the beginning of a positive feedback loop for the financials.
01[11:44] {@Threei}  The dollar extended last week's rally this morning, with EUR/USD dipping briefly below 1.0550, approaching the mid-March 12-year low of 1.0462. At least some of the softness follows reports on Sunday that the EU has given Athens until April 20th to preset a new slate of reforms in order for the final €7.2 billion tranche of aid funds to be unlocked.

TradeTheNews.com Weekly Market Update: Irrational Exuberance Goes Global
Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:12 PM EST

Global equities surged even higher this week, putting leading indices at or near all-time highs. The DAX closed out Friday at a fresh all-time high of 12,374. In Japan, the Nikkei briefly topped 20,000 for the first time in 15 years on several big corporate deals and hopes for more stimulus in China. The Hang Seng advanced to seven-year highs on record volumes as mainland investors bought their entire 10.5 billion yuan daily investment quota for Hong Kong stocks for two straight days. The dollar index had its best week in four years, aided by continued euro softness plus a dip in sterling as February UK industrial and construction data disappointed. The DJIA and S&P500 came close to their mid-March all-time highs, and for the week, the DJIA gained 1.6%, the S&P added 1.7% and the Nasdaq rose 2.2%.

The ECB's QE impact continued unabated, as equities surged higher, the euro remained weak and yields fell further. Euro zone sovereign yields fell to fresh record low levels on Thursday (thanks in part to relief Greece made its IMF debt payment after a few weeks of jitters): the French 10-year yield dropped to 0.43% and the German 10-year Bund declined to 0.15%, just a day after Switzerland auctioned 10-year bonds with a negative yield, the first time a government has done so in history.

The Fed minutes out on Wednesday unveiled a fractured FOMC. "Several" officials thought June would be the right time to raise rates, others thought it would be better to wait longer given the impact of the strong dollar and energy prices on inflation, and "a couple" thought the Fed might need to wait until 2016. In speeches, dovish Fed governor Kocherlakota remarked the Fed should defer the first interest rate hike to the second half of 2016, while Lockhart asserted rate hikes were still likely in the June-September period. Dudley said the timing of the first rate hike may be further off now due to recent weak economic data, but a June hike was still in play. More interestingly, Dudley also said that while he was unsure how financial markets would respond to rate hikes, the rate path would be shaped in part by the market's reaction.

The JOLTS and jobless claims data out this week partially dispelled the gloom from last Friday's big miss in the March payrolls. Fed's Dudley noted that he did not believe the March jobs data provided a very good read on the US labor market, given the weather impact. The February JOLTS job openings report - Fed Chair Yellen's favorite gauge of employment demand - was very strong, rising to its best level since 2001. Meanwhile, the four-week average of continuing jobless claims declined to their lowest level since mid-2000. Taken together, analysts say the data is only the latest sign the US is getting close to full employment.

Crude prices were fairly volatile this week as inventories and the Iran situation whipped the major front-month contracts around. WTI gained 8% in the first half of the week, peaking at $54, on a Genscape report that the weekly inventory reports would be unexpectedly low. This did not come to pass, with the API data showing its fourth straight build and the biggest gain in nearly two months at +12.2M bbls and the DoE report disclosing 13th straight build and the largest gain since 2001 at +11M bbls. WTI dropped back to $50, and Brent sank below $56 in tandem after the data. There was more choppiness in the second half of the week after the Iran leadership made some skeptical comments about the framework agreement reached with the western powers last week, and both Brent and WTI closed out the week only slightly higher.

Alcoa's first quarter report unofficially kicked off the March quarter earnings season. The aluminum manufacturer reported solid y/y growth in profits, but revenues came in just short of consensus, pushing shares lower. Drug store chains Rite Aid and Walgreen both widely beat earnings expectations. Rite Aid's initial FY guidance was subpar, sending shares down 6% on the week, while Walgreen was up as much on a solid FY forecast. Samsung Electronics's quarterly operating earnings fell 31% y/y, however the total was well ahead of expectations, raising hopes the firm may be emerging from its profit slump. Global preorders for the Apple Watch sold out fast on Friday, ahead of the start of in-store sales on April 24th.

Bed Bath & Beyond reported Q4 results below expectations and issued conservative guidance for Q1 and 2015, citing tough y/y comparisons as it will not repeat some one-time tax benefits enjoyed in 2014. Shares of Gap Inc. gapped lower on Friday after reporting March retail sales, capping off another lackluster month for US retailers. Gap's total same store sales were a little better than expected thanks to double digit growth at Old Navy, but the Gap Stores brand disappointed with same store sales down 7%. With the Gap sales data included, overall US same store sales were estimated to be up only 0.4% for March.

General Electric has decided it no longer needs a bank. In its most significant strategic move in years, GE is selling off the bulk of GE Capital, divesting itself of risk and financial oversight that comes with being a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI). GE will sell nearly all of its real estate portfolio to Blackstone Group and Wells Fargo for $26.5 billion. It also authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 billion, funded by returning about $36 billion in cash it currently holds overseas, incurring a $6 billion tax bill on the cash repatriation. Approximately $16 billion of after-tax charges are expected to be recorded in the first quarter of 2015.

The worldwide volume of merger deals announced in 2015 topped $1 trillion this week, and the WSJ reported that if the current pace is sustained, volume for the full year would exceed $3.7 trillion, making it the second-biggest year in history after 2007. In the biggest energy deal in recent memory, Royal Dutch Shell agreed to buy Britain's BG Group in a $70 billion cash and stock. The combined group would have a market capitalization of about $240 billion, twice as big as BP, but still smaller than ExxonMobil. In other deals, FedEx reached a deal to buy Dutch firm TNT Express for $4.8 billion in cash, helping the delivery firm expand operations in Europe. PE firm Permira and the Canada Pension Plan have teamed up to acquire Informatica, an enterprise software company, for about $5.3 billion.

There had been talk for a few weeks that Intel was pursuing programmable logic device maker Altera, but Intel broke off negotiations after Altera was unwilling to take its offer, said to be around $54/share. Altera briefly cratered but shook off the losses on the prospect of it now being in play on the hopes that its upcoming earnings may justify rejecting the Intel offer. Mylan made a preliminary, non-binding proposal to acquire Perrigo for $205/share in cash and stock, valuing it at about $30B. There has been talk since last fall that Teva was interested in buying Mylan, and some reports suggested that Mylan's overture toward Perrigo was a defensive move. Shares of all three generic drug makers were significantly higher after the news.

China indices continued their string of weekly gains as both the Shanghai Composite and the Hang Seng closed at 7-year highs. Shanghai rallied 4.4%, topping the 4,000 level, while Hong Kong had its best week in years, rising nearly 8% to above the 27,000 mark. The strong performance of the Hang Seng was attributed to two consecutive days of investors utilizing the full uptake of the Shanghai-Hong Kong connect. Analysts noted the funds flowing into Hong Kong sought out the dually-listed H-shares offering a discount of over 20%, with the Hang Seng securities having underperformed the recent rally on the mainland index. China inflation data released later in the week was also steady, as CPI remained at 1.4% and the PPI decline stopped expanding for the first time in 8 months. The balance of March data are due next week, with some expectation of continued softness in trade data justifying ongoing PBoC support.

The week was also active for Asia-Pacific central banks, though there were hardly any surprises. The Bank of Japan maintained its annual rate of monetary base expansion at ¥80T, but also lowered its assessment of CPI to 0% from 0-0.5%. BOJ was also faced with a more pronounced dissent by board member Kiuchi who asked for a taper to ¥45T, defeating that call by "majority" which implies that he may have had some support. The Reserve Bank of Australia stood pat at 2.25%, but toned down its rhetoric for lower exchange rate to "further depreciation seems likely", which sent AUD/USD higher by over a cent above $0.77 level. The RBA also retained its focus on risks of inflation in the property market. The Bank of Korea left rates on hold at 1.75%, with one dissenter calling for a rate cut. The BOK also slashed its GDP forecasts by 0.3 percentage points each for 2015 and 2016, to 3.1% and 3.4%, respectively. Late in the week, Korean authorities were admonished by the US Treasury's semi-annual report on currency, which called for interventions to take place only in disorderly market cases.


Apr 10 2015

About flat day, as market lost drive and direction. Can't complain about the week though, as our string of winning days continues uninterrupted for at least two weeks.

Apr 09 2015

Solid day, not as spectacular as yesterday but still very worth waking up for. MCD was unlikely hero of the day, giving us a few nice winning trades in both direction.

Before you move to the trading log, this bit of news about A Taoist Trader: it is available now for Kindle and other readers and devices. You will find it at


That completes publishing this book in all popular formats. First Amazon reviews  and readers' feedback started trickling down, and they are very positive. Hope you find the book useful and enjoyable as well!

01[12:18] {@Threei}  Decent German economic data and Greece making its much-anticipated IMF debt payment earlier today helped European indices gain more than 1.0% a piece in today's session, while Japan and Hong Kong indices closed at multi-year highs.
01[12:19] {@Threei}  Crude prices saw a brief move higher during the European session as Iran Supreme Leader Khamenei responded to the terms of the nuclear deal with the P5+1 powers for the first time. Khamenei neither endorsed nor condemned the deal as structured, however he reiterated his stance that sanctions must be lifted all at once on the same day the deal is signed, clashing with western demands that sanctions are only withdrawn after compliance verification.
01[12:19] {@Threei}  Iran President Rouhani endorsed Khamenei's position. WTI is back around $50.70 and Brent is around $56.80 as of writing.
