I think this "black monday" thread was probably the worst ever, considering the percentage gain. To take "worst call" on ET in any time frame takes skill.
It is confirmed there is going to be no deal by the deadline and the futures just keep gapping up after hours so much for the big bad fiscal cliff what a joke lol as long as we're "close" to a dealt the market will keep going up... market loves hope a lot more than it hates uncertainty
I don't know where you're getting quotes, but ES was at 24.00 when NYSE closed at 4pm and we're sitting there now.
the ES doesnt appear to be trading now but the SPY closed at 142.41 and was trading at 142.88 a little while ago still trading well above where it closed and why not they are "close" to a deal
You're going to be right no matter what? SPY was marked to 142.64 at NYSE close and is 142.56 offered. Yes, ES was closed when it was "gapping up". Spy was at 55 and futures weren't trading when you posted the futures were "gapping up". Not a big deal, but the color is pointless if it's wrong.
89 to 8 on the vote this morning in the Senate. I'd thank you for the best day I had all year yesterday but I didn't see this thread before. The House may reject it, and the market may go down on that, but assuming you actually played it as you wrote it here you wouldn't have any money to play that move, wouldja?
Now the question is where we will go from here in two weeks. Up? down? flat? Lets say by Jan 18 option expiry day.
