DrStool Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Unfortunately it's almost impossible to predict when this sh*t unwinds. It must some kind of powerful event. From what I heard, for example, Russia is overstating its foreign currency reserves and in fact will burn them all to zero somewhere in Spring. I don't think Russia will default right away, maybe it will not default at all. But whatever measures they will take to not default may trigger something bad. You know, if you trap a bear and start burning his ass he may do nasty things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoBear Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 You know, if you trap a bear and start burning his ass he may do nasty things Yep - I'm a trapped bear and I just got my ass burned. Had to cover the index shorts I added last Wednesday. Lost 7% on SDS, 8% on TWM, and 9% on QID. 8% is my limit. Still holding original 1/4 position short (glutton for punishment). Now I need to go figure out what nasty things I'm going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousG Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Let's see 1106 on the SPX is the 500MA. Perhaps we run straight there, the DOW hits the magical 10,333 and then it all blows up! One can dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charmin Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Now that we've thrown overboard the galley slaves in the unemployment process, did our cost cutting, trimmed budgets, and had the experts say we did better than expected there's nothing better than to continue speculating with all that free stimulus. IWM got to the 50 bar ma faster than you can say "freight train a coming." http://www.StockSharePublishing.com/ChartL..._1257804889.png If we're going to move sideways in the market, I'd have to see IWM slow down pretty quick. Mr. Widget is trending up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitall Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm doing 'God's work'. Meet Mr Goldman Sachs http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...et=0&page=1 LOL, to paraphrase Mogambu Guru: History is clear. God favors those with the most powerful weapons (and the most money, apparently.) Sounds like a Calvinist to me. In attempting to explain why Goldman is suddenly getting religion (as if politicians getting all religious on us isn't bad enough), someone quoted the late physicist Paul Dirac, in the comments to the article: (Quote deleted so as not to offend people of religious persuasions. Quote is in the comments section of the above article and also on the wikipedia page on Paul Dirac, if anyone is interested) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
