is different ... there is no sure leader everytime today ... in my eyes unless my screen's quotes froze a possibility for sure I thought I saw the Treasury futures start their move before a few seconds ... maybe even 10 seconds or more before the FX , Gold , Stock Indices reacted to the eco. #'s
people pitching that they always get the news out before everyone else ... but this was really early .... almost like a fat finger that got lucky
Officially everybody get the news at the same time although I read that big brokers had the news 1h before the mass public, I lost the article as it was a few years ago and it may have changed since. Now nothing unsual according to my model: we have backwarded to the theorical bottom of 10524.7 (real low was 10524.89) which was due since it was unrealised potential the day before (see http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28197) <IMG SRC=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=444753>
I prefer not to say I am sure : as I said I lost the article, it was a US newspaper article if my memory doesn't fool me but it was such a long time ago I don't remember what newspaper it was. What I am sure that it was mentioned 1 hour before the rest of public. Now law has changed so that everybody receives the news at the same time - this would imply that it wasn't so in the past and in practice nothing can really prevent big brokers to have the news before everybody : a little spying would be worth the cost for them .
It is not the supposed hysterical crowd which by magic or some metaspsychic power would buy at this exact level, it is an INTERVENTION probably from CENTRAL BANK: <IMG SRC=http://www.econometric-wave.com/Friday%20intervention.gif>
