just watched it tick 1960 ES Sep.. really?? 10 ES points between 350pm est and now 6am. epic short squeeze.. expecting a few fireworks today with opex one way or the other.. i would like to short this again but really speechless about this rally since 1890, never seizes to amaze me.
here is an article that scared the shit out of me.. a determined bear.. fact is that as long as these companies keeping beating earnings... politics/ war/ yields/ gdp/ nothing else really matters "...released its latest update for second-quarter earnings season, and with 446 of theS&P 500 having reported, we're getting a pretty good look at the prevailing trends: -73% of companies have beaten earnings estimates, slightly above the 1-year average of 72%. -Companies are beating by an average of 4.2%, above the 1-year average of 3.2%. -Q2 earnings growth is 8.4%, up from an expected 4.9% on June 30. -This is the second-highest earnings growth rate since Q4 2011." http://www.minyanville.com/special-...S2526p-500-factset-factset/8/11/2014/id/55646
Not really surprised. We made a HH on the 9th after the previous swing high (25.75) was taken out and that level was subsequently successfully retested on the 12th, that to me indicates a trend change, the reaction is bound to be strong since the underlying long term trend is higher i.e short term + long term trend higher = strong buy signal. The measured target for this move is around 50 ES points, so this is likely to move towards the low 70s before the shorts get any reprieve.
