Interesting. Seems they're gearing up for another round of "Just say NO" which started with the Fed saying "we ain't gonna do what we said".

hi Navin, you said it: we are small fry and make our profits in these shark infested waters like pirates: hit and run the scraps that are available as a result of bigger fish doing their thing. With this understanding, we "take what we can and give ...

I like the way you are drawing insights the Bubble phenomenon. As for the research in the article, i stand by my opinion that fundamental facts in themselves do not move the market but peoples' reaction to them does. I agree with your point that ...

from experience i'd say a window in front of you. why? Altho' your monitors are your "windows" into the market, your eyes take massive strain focussing up close all day. A view will allow you to shift focus periodically as well as give a sense of ...

Gold spiking needle-like to the downside after 5w up from 1,305 to 1,330. Seems a 50% or 62% retrace is likely, but what's up with that ultra-thin structure? Looks like those slim D waves sometimes found in a triangle...

Well said and good line of argument. I guess that's why guys like Buffett are now becoming vocal collaborators in the debate - a guest politician of sorts - to orientate and coerce the wealthy and keep them from leaving!

sure, sway market sentiment, profit from it and then back to New Normal. However, considering the number of players being drawn into this show, the intended audience includes more than the markets, right? For the financial pages they wind up and ...

It is not real. The "Debt Ceiling Debate" is a theatre piece with the function of obfuscating other more critical issues and keeping alive the notion of a 2-party democracy. The US is not a "Banana Republic" but a Corporation. The Democrats and ...

I find the "trigger happy" also gets me: mostly when I think a 5th wave is complete and unload artillery in the opposite direction. For some reason there is always another wave 4 and then the real wave 5 which I sit through having much conversation ...

hi PipTrapper, These are the off-hand trades I enter that cost me time and money every time. "Oh, I'll just grab some of wave 2 before re-entering for wave 3" becomes: "I'll get fooled by an irregularity in the structure of wave 2 and eventually at ...
