What would be the point of a market maker or specialist when setting the after hour bid at a penny or zero- as is now the case with HMY and RGLD? This causes the portfolio value of the stock to temporarily disappear? :unsure:

Charliss,

 

Those are afterhours ECN bids, usually by individuals when you see them. Most market makers shut it down when the bell rings.

 

pitbull,

 

OSXers, you know I am running with you after last weekend. I am a fool for sector movement.

IMHO....couldnt agree more with B4, if we open down tomorrow bears win, if we open up watch 843, top of declining wedgie ...couldnt push through fri on the employment numbers but if bulls win 843 we explode to 863 minimum from short covering which is close enuff to satisfy max pain issues @ 880. Personally dont think we can bust through the huge resistance between 860 and 870....just to many bears out right now to head straight down, need a shakeout first, but limited upside; especially on EBAY and AMGN...my new LTSH...trade safe.

Sometimes us stoolies disagree.

 

Here is my take from listening to the best ewave guy around. Larry Tomlinson.

 

If we get to 880, that would complete the triangle formation and it opens the door to 200spx!

 

I doubt highly we get there(880). In fact, I doubt we break 845.

 

I have mental stops but, tomorrow is a high and it ain't gonna be that high.

 

Live long and prosper. :grin:

Oh good. The farm is still mine, then- at least overnight.

Pitbull: Sorry about your brother.

9.11 was indeed a dark day.

 

The world seems to become madder

by the minute.

Sweden seems to be one place

where sanity prevails. And I need

not tell you of the beauty of the

Archipaelgo in summer.

 

My wife originally comes from Nynasham

- south of Stockholm.

I am about to start Swedish lessons

- such that we could live there - if needed.

 

Sadly socialism is not always as effective as

it is Scandanvia.

However it is scarey when money becomes

the most powerful force in nature.

Really, I dunno what you guys are getting paranoid about..

 

We had a joyous bound at open then WHAMMO the sellers unloaded and sent the index straight into the red where it now wallows...Looks like we're gonna sit here all day so its just as well I have a dental app which will probably provide more entertainment than the market at this stage.

 

The golds took a hit at open but have settled down and have buyers quietly sitting at the bid sucking up anything that comes their way. Yep I agree with those who've posted re loading up on more golds. I'd do the same but out of $$ now (especially after I cough up for the dentist)..

Aussie, what you are seeing on this board is what I predicted would happen once the top was in and we were only two or three weeks into the decline...

 

"Rush and Fight" syndrome whose most common symptom is "Pop Phobia".

 

"Rush and Fight" syndrome is where people can't wait for a significant turning point to occur but as soon as it does they immediately begin fighting it and begin rushing the occurrence of the next turning point. Case in point GTNWORSE.

 

All in the useless vain effort in trying to second-guess and out-wit the market instead of capitalizing on the main trend and turning coin. What a pity.

Here is a quote from Glenn Neely just the other day. I think it sums up all.

 

"As it should, this expanding environment is making us doubt this decline every step of the way, even as it goes "our way".

 

A touch of brilliance, if you ask me. :grin:

?Meanwhile, on the Blood and Lies World Tour, Reich Field Marshall Rumsfeld is back at home in Munich table pounding for the Turks and demanding that NATO midgets step up to the highwire and fulfil their circus contracts. This guy looks like he hasn't had a good bowel movement in years.

:lol:

 

Interesting, how people's minds tend to wander in similar directions.

Actually, Ani have been thinking of Rumsfeld as Ribbentropp, and Powel as "The Desert Fox" Feldmarshal Rommel.

 

Well, Ani also thinks, that all the talk about "invasion of Iraq" is a typical "smoke screen".

I simply cannot believe that our military planners would really entertain such option.

What is more likely, is that a deal had been made some months ago with some senior Iraqi military leaders to stage a coup as soon as first Tomahawks are fired, and Saddam killed or isolated, and our forces will enter more as an occupational force than invading one, taking care mainly of some small pockets of resistance, and then install some of the "New Europe" ally troops to help in policing duties.

 

Why Ani thinks that invasion would be to risky?

Well, this campaign would be entirely different from The Desert Storm.

Then, our forces caught Iraqis army in the desert, and on the higway retreating from Kuwait, that's as easy kill as it gets.

If Saddam has any brain, this time he would not fight in the desert, but pull the troops into major cities, and that's entirely different game.

If Iraqis had any will to fight, it would take much more of our troops, time and corpses than we could afford.

Someone had mentioned Stalingrad on this board recently, but let me give you a better example.

In the late summer of 1944, estimated 25 to 35 thousands of underground fighters staged an uprising against Germans in Warsaw.

All they had was light weapons, and faced several german divisions, including 3 Panzer Divisions.

The uprising did last 2 months, with german losses of 10,000.

The germans' victory was sped up by using tactics of blowing up and/or burning a house after house, so in result, 85% of the city was completely destroyed ( you may refer to to the movie "The Pianist" for quite accurrate depiction of that).

Invasion-anyone?
