Rationalize Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 On the 1000 lot ES bids... What's to say that these are not hedges for bigaSS hedgehog shorts in the cash equity merkit? Just trying to be optimistically pessimistic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to be optimistically pessimistic here. Don't fool yourself. Those large bid lots are the work of evil Ben and his demonic horde, must pump at all costs, start the bubble cycle all over, good times forever.

Jimbo Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 THE SHORTING SCENARIO I still cant see that the point has been reached where shorting is worth the risk/reward. The market is probably topping for a late sept/oct sell-off. But the evidence is yet to be conclusive. We need a few good down days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I wouldn't be putin on a swing short right now. The only short opportunities are intraday and they are shallow and quick. Even for a daytrader, the best opportunities are buying the dips.

Jimbo Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 THE FALLACY OF THE FED The FED thinks that by saving the financial economy it will save the real economy. Not true. The FED has merely saving the speculators and the "risk roulette" players so they can play another day. These are the bubble enablers and creators. Who naturally will play risk roulette and create more bubbles. Is it any wonder that these bubble enablers, bankrolled by the fed/chinese central bank - curtesy of the american consumer - curtesy of the endless credit extended to the american consumer - are now trying their hardest to sustain new stock and bond bubbles? and stop the deflation of the real estate bubble???

cwd Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Squeezing bears to high heaven is all about saving 92% of the pension funds that are now underfunded and stocks are by far the best bubble to inflate at the moment. Nothing else is happening, that's for sure. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyche doctor Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 The merkit can only fall when all the bears have finished buying back. They are being thinned off each day, slaughtered with their heads mounted on walls for the world to see as a testament to those that defy the mighty Ben, ruler of the benign banana republic.

It seems to me that the USA is doing the same thing Britain did in the 30's, propping up the employers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdporter Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 The accounting rule change that could affect AAPL it is very similar to what the banks were doing with liar loans. Booking all the profit when the loan transaction takes place, rather than a the payments come in. So Apple will be able to book all the subscription revenue at the time of sale. The only problem with this theory is that AT&T gets the subscription revenue while Apple sells the phone. Apple no doubt gets a cut of the revenue, but they certainly don't get it all.
