News this afternoon wasn't targeted at bank stocks. What drove the indexes up, my opinion here, were big institutions trying to keep the bears from breaking 1070 today. Look at Morgan Stanleys stock skyrocket after the surge today. My guess is they, and everyone else like Goldman and UBS, and big pros, were doing a huge bull rally today.
This isn't by any means something you can rely on for tomorrow or the day after that. Which means keep waiting for QE3 news or Greek debt bailout for some solid trends up. Today was an anomalie.

Duh...
Bernanke warns recovery 'close to faltering' WASHINGTON (AP) -- Europe has a debt crisis. America has a jobs crisis. Corporate profits could be in trouble. World financial markets are in turmoil. And no one seems prepared to ride to the rescue. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke bluntly warned Congress on Tuesday of what most of America has sensed for some time: The economic recovery, such as it is, "is close to faltering." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Bernan...40448.html?x=0

Yesterdays market anomaly is holding a lot of money in profits. Spx is having a hard time making anymore positive traction so far today. Look at FAS and FAZ. FAS should be in the positive ATM. Instead, FAZ is sitting 3-5% in the green. Am I the only one who thinks someone knows something?
Course, I could be wrong. But I'll be seriously considering an entrance point later on today. We shall see. Hope everyone's portfolio isn't in too bad shape. FAZ sitting near negatives. Might be a nice hedge to pick up if it goes any lower

tomorrow is the moment of truth...pressed up against resistence levels now..If we rally hard from employment report than IT bottom prob hit and we will rally for prob a month and selloffs should be bought...if we tank tomorrow then SPX will prob see 1000-50.
Odds favor rally no matter how good or bad the employment number is cause mkt sentiment wants a rally now. |

... everybodys knows TA isnt a exact science, but here's my proyection and my possible owned. Those 216-210 price AMZN gekko approved among the slightly bearish resistance created around it, looks to me like a stock's swap figure without no doubt, i think a new tendency range is coming, im gonna bet my worthless euros to the bull up to 260. No more arguments, its a 90% feeling ...
a second opinion is welcome

Job report was up but we are three days up in a bear market. Sentiment is to take profits on a Friday and see shat happens on Monday with Greece. Germany and France are preparing for a Greece default ATM as they wait for troika to announce it's decision tomorrow. With the job numbers not bumping much, the second downgrade on Italy, downgrade on spain, downgrade on 9 portuguese banks, downgrade on 12 uk banks, and today is a short position. There's no big news left today to bring this up. Job numbers was key. It did nothing.
Rating agencies have had their knife out for the institutions today.

Not To Be Left Out, China Announces Its Own Bank And Stock Market Bail Out
To anyone still believing that capital markets around the world express something other than government policy, the latest news out of China may come as a surprise: "Beijing will buy more shares in China’s biggest banks, in an expression of support for the beleaguered stock market and most concrete state action to date to shore up confidence in the slowing economy." The FT reports further: "Central Huijin, the domestic arm of China’s sovereign wealth fund, will buy the shares to help stabilise the pillars of the country’s financial system, the official Xinhua news agency said on Monday. Coming as the Chinese stock market closed at a 30-month low, the move was the strongest sign that Beijing wants to engineer a restoration of confidence in share prices and the economy. It paid instant dividends with a rally in the final minutes of trading on Monday." And there you have it: stocks are now nothing more than a means for governments to validate their "success" in something, since they have no more control left over either employment or inflation, or public expression of affection with capitalism as per #OWS. So why not ramp up the DJIA to 36,000? Granted that will happen as all global currencies get terminally davalued against gold, but so what - after all that only thing that matters now is whose stock market is the biggest. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/not-be...arket-bail-out

One of my conspiranoic bets on this is crisis is an "off-set" correction made by the FED to slow down China's power. An state of that size, with that population, politically independent, gettin under order and growing, wow, can made any currency lost his monopoly

We had indecision candle today where bulls couldnt expand the price range...shows bulls are tiring...short term top likely now...could see selling for next few days to relieve overbought conditions...we also have strong selling on strength today...odds favor short term top.
How low we go depends on what volume is doing...if we decline on shrinking volume, selling will be corrective...if volume pattern increases then something else could be up. |

AMZN fights with the 240 price, let see ... i keep betting for those 260 for not too long. The levels are very predictibles to enter and to sell, a safe bet, not huge gains but almost none risk.

Citigroup earnings down anywhere from 33-73%. Volcker Rule bickering taints wall streets mood. Athens is piled beneath garbage as civil workers go on strike. The country is in uproar for the vote in Greek Parliament Thursday that seeks to eliminate the minimum wage in Greece.
Markets needed this news to get away from significantly overbought status and drive it down from intense resistance levels. Do not let the recent push up to 1200 levels confuse you, we are still very well within the confines of a bear market. Mact, what's your opinion on the IT trend for this week? I can't see break of 1250, let alone 1230 levels this week. You? Edit: Might see a move up in markets tomorrow. Bernanke set to speak tomorrow. Goldman Sachs chief econcomist Jan Hatzius is saying this will be QE3 tomorrow. Not sure if this will be the real deal this time, but something is awry with the financial stocks today. DJIA down 200 points and bank stocks are barely taking a significant hit like they always have. At best, they're only down 1-2%. Hrmm. Hardly finding any information as to what will be happening tomorrow at Bernankes speech. Realize that Bernanke has always advocated "surprise" in his bailouts as to measure how effective they might be. EDIT: if Bernanke releases QE3, markets will hit yearly new highs. If not, bear rally might continue till 1270 before the next fall. Chime in.
