Bernanke & the Chinese

comments remind me of Jim Baker's about the Germans in '87.

We know how that turned out.

And a Fed chair using his bully pulpit. Wow!

Ma & Pa

drank the grape koolaid in the first 30 minutes. SPX up 23 points in first 30 min. Flat the last hour. Big boys didn't get excited about taking them home. Neither am I. May not be time to short but IMO not time to open new long positions other than extreme capitulation stocks and maybe not then depending on indicators. Problem I see with many setups is that there is not enough profit potential (3:1 or better) to justify going long OR short.

$naa50r indicates risk rising...again AND divergences showing in the hourly makes me believe reversals are quite possible.

RIMM kangaroo tail reversal yesterday

Based on Elder's trading thoughts, one would put a short on around 48.50 with a buy to cover just above 49.10.

No position, long or short.

Capitulation trade - ARNA

RSI 7 day below 10. Several days of extreme selling. Max pain opts 4 bucks for Oct. Mark Hulbert nailed Michael Murphy this AM over an options play in this issue. Normally wouldn't mess with a stock under $5 but it looks interesting. ARNA:IEF shows RSI 7 day under 10, risk looks manageable. Long @ 1.83. Sell limit 2.90 middle of gap.

Do your own homework.

Miners ETF scan plus SLV

SLW, EGO, GSS & NEM in distribution mode.

SLV in distribution

Putting in an order to open a position tomorrow.

ZSL Sept/Oct max pain is 27

10 day ATR is .96

RSI 7 day is 12.62. Getting close to a capitulation trade (sub 10).

Close was 24.85. Close minus 10 day ATR is 23.89. Roughly 3:1 reward:risk.

Can't be around all day or I'd be watching the hourly MACD for a divergence to open the position.

See what happens.

FD:long DZZ. DZZ in Triple RSI accumulation mode.

Re: $NAA50R/Risk measurements

$vix isn't traded. VXX is.

SPY:VXX shows a 7 day RSI of 81.91. About 90 should do nicely.

SPY:IEF shows a 7 day RSI of 69.83.

$naa50r shows a 7 day RSI of 70.28.

Like I said, I see no reason to get bullish now and risk is increasing. Early July was the time to get long.

$NAA50R/Risk measurements

hitting 70 RSI. Early July it gave a signal to get long. Caution is in order esp with respect to any long positions taken on now IMO. And risk is increasing.

Except for special situations, I'd be raising cash and looking for shorting opporunities which I am.

Re: Bad Moon A Rising ? ? ? ?

well, I like to have the max pain opts expiration number at my back. To be honest, not much that is posted on this board has been backtested anyway.
