kaotic Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Looks like I went full tits long right before the clash, why am I not surprised? 703216[/snapback] Don't feel Bad. You and a gazillion other gamblers did the exact same thing. Look, the mega trend is DOWN, any other conclusion is just for entertainment and gaming purposes..

Roger7485 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I got in yesterday around 3, so I guess I have some cushion for a weak open. The question is do I sell into a 150 or 200 point gap down if the futures recover significantly from here(likely scenario). If we have a really weak open Ill just unload on da bounce, unless there is no bounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebear Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 OPEC Preparing Output Cut to Boost Prices After Slump Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is preparing to cut oil production for the first time in almost two years to stem a collapse in prices. Ministers of the 13 nations gathered at the group's Vienna headquarters at 9:30 a.m. local time, where Iran and Venezuela, two of the countries most dependent on high prices, will push for reductions. Crude oil has tumbled 55 percent from a July 11 record of $147.27 a barrel as the financial market crisis spreads, job cuts increase and fuel consumption slows. Oil fell as much as 1.8 percent to $66.63 in New York this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiebear Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Italian Business Confidence, Consumer Optimism Drop in October Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Italian business confidence fell to the lowest in 15 years in October and consumer optimism dipped as the global financial crisis darkened the economic outlook and offset the positive effects of cheaper oil prices. The Isae Institute's business confidence index dropped to 77.7 from a revised 81.8 in September, the Rome-based research center said today. Italy, Europe's fourth-biggest economy, probably entered into a recession after the economy contracted 0.3 percent in the second quarter, European Central Bank board member Mario Draghi indicated on Oct. 21. A preliminary estimate for Italy's third- quarter gross domestic product will be released Nov. 14 by national statistics office Istat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was down almost a buck without a green candle. 703224[/snapback] Liquidating EVERYTHING. At the rate the SPX futures are going right now, we're going to break the 839 low on the open. Seems to be a mass psychological shift occuring today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there is no air in it. 703229[/snapback] If this is a nested 3rd wave, there won't be much in the way of pullbacks. Think in terms of the decline leading into Oct. 10... everyone's waiting for a pullback to get short, but the pullback never comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlag Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 To help the viewers at home comprehend the current affair of the equity markets here's the Bristol Stool chart, unfortunately it's missing the type 8, where we are now, and the type 9 where we are headed. Type 8: totally liquid with traces of blood Type 9: totally liquid with abundant blood, prolapsed organs and bits of internal organs. Here's a snapshot of type 8 for your viewing pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Converted most gold bullion to euro. Bought it 6 yrs a ago or so and I dont want to give all of those gains back. I am not going to ride it down as I have some junior mining stocks. Will turn and jump back in if gold turns. Meanwhile, Bloomberg announces CME futures are limit down. Europe melt down. GBP meltdown. Oil still falling hard even though OPEC cut. I am sick of this. It looked to Dover Sole too short this past week but it wasn't. Going for a long walk to clear my head & relax.

Pretzel Logic Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Wow. Limit down in the FUtures. ^ Whoops, Lemur's post wasn't there when I started typing. Gotta tell ya, one of the greatest things I've learned from Doc: "There's no such thing as Dover Sole in a bear market." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
