I didn't like this consolidation here and we lost a Fib as I suspected and sold roughly halfway down to the next. Puts us sort of in nowhere land, with some room to land before more solid support.  No trades today.  Hope everyone made some money and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

I was very fortunate today with the Euro dump and strong dollar rally. I initiated a position Friday on Faz and Bgz and sold my positions for a gain of 6.3% on Bgz and 11.5% on Faz.  Right before the bell, I bought some Wfc and Usb for a bounce opportunity (too afraid to buy fas at the moment ). I plan on selling Wed in anticipation of the sell on Rosh Hashanah and buy on Yom Kippur opportunity; thats right another holiday reversal. I hope everyone made money today and will continue to do so |

No trades.. Trying not to trade on days i have class.
Anyhow I couldn't really find any setups i felt confident in with the small time i spent looking at the charts and action. That 1089 gap seems like it should have closed today, feels like major manipulation.. the dow chart did one of those wierd looking wave things in TDA today..
All cash looking forward to tomorrow. ;D

Dump on any am pressure the setup is pump the beige book and jobs report and liven it up with Stim pumpage as well they control both reports so they will really want them to look good |

you have some balls rich......holding calls and not closing them on a day like today I don't know, Timber. I was watching the close and it looked weak as hell. Nobody buying. However, external forces like stimulus, beige book, etc., are always to be wary of when short. The truth is, until this thing turns around, it's safer to be short than long. And all cash is boring as hell |

good point, Jack. Lame is a good word. Uneffective is another. Piss-poor a third |

One of these days he's going to come on and the market is going to shoot to the moon for no reason. I will love that day. Is my annoyance showing? From someone who doesn't like Pres very much... |

Bought back 1000 shares of FAS today for a dollar less than I sold Friday - I'm hoping FAS goes lower so I can continue to buy back to lower my AP.
Big question for me...Do we see FAS at $18.50 or lower anytime soon - Anyone?

Big question for me...Do we see FAS at $18.50 or lower anytime soon - Anyone? Two shools of thought on that one, but if rifin drops to the horizontal line of doom again, Fas would definately be lower than 18.50. |
