  1. The US market rose from the DAX close. The DAX close was the dip, and people bought. We should gap up tomorrow. I'm 100% long overnight.

  3. I think the bears have an upper hand for the next few days. Here is why:

    1) yesterday's drop in SPY (-2.4%) was met with extreme VIX jump +30%. the natural interpretation/expectation: excessive fear that will lead to a noticeable short-term bounce.
    2) today brings no surprise from the Fed: the market is flat AFTER the news. all we got is +0.8% bounce from yesterday.

    basically, i expected a bigger bounce given 1)+2). the bulls clearly demonstrated their weakness today. tomorrow may be critical.

  4. Shortie, time to take your losses on your shorts. We're going back up. :p

    Noddyboy, get back to your 5x leverage.

    And just like that the small 200 point dip disappeared within 2 days.

    Good to know the 0% interest rates are in place to keep the markets propped up!!!

    Sold my UYG too early at $72 this morning, thought there would be a little dip after the opening but instead they just jammed it higher.

    :p

    OIL 85.35 2.13 +2.56%


    Even oil is having fun today, I'm already paying over $3.00 at the pump and enjoying every last bit of it thanks to speculation in oil and no inflation, $3.00 is still cheap.


    :p :p :p :p :p

    You know this is a bull market not a bubble when there are zero thread titles that are bullish even as we make new highs.
