Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
Fed taught me to buy
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

The Gannerator spat out another couple price/time squares today. We've had a few this week.

Price/time squares are typically where a trend would reverse (or sometimes accelerate).

I need more time with it to understand how rare it is to have this many in a few consecutive trading days.

Hopefully it's rare. Heh.

Lots of volume on the NYSE
http://stockcharts.c...llery.html?$NYA

A few blow offs, eg
http://stockcharts.c...allery.html?DBB (Cu Al Zn)

Tech was sold, makes a change

I guess oil and the oils could still do well ? (not sure though)

funnymentals still poor
EuroZones July PMI Services, 45.7
U.S. July ISM services 46.4, employment index, 41.5

SnPee PE ratio over 700 for GAAP
Cisco posts 46% drop in quarterly profit

lots and lots of calls bought even as the markets fell in the morning
ISEE 10-Day Moving Average 125

and I guess I'd be surprised if we didn't see SPX 1014 or 1121

SPX Fib 0.328 = 1014
SPX Fib 0.5 = 1121

Bob Pissonme said that all of the Gubermint owned
(AIG, FRE,FNM) stocks were up big today.
He forgot to mention the trading arm of the gubermint
GS.The guy on Lost Money said that institutional
money was flowing into Goldman big time today. Maybe they are figuring
out its good to be in a stock that risk is rewarded
every time,and if they are wrong they are first at
the taxpayer bailout trough.Its great to be king!

Goldie Lookin Sacks reclaims pre-crash levels.

Thank God for that. I was beginning to think our tax dollars had been totally wasted.



IMHO this vampire squid thing is a microcosm of the entire system. It is going to end extremely badly.

[phatbubble]

Speaking of ending badly, anyone got a take on the historical accuracy of predictive linguistics outfit Half Past Human?

I couldn't agree more about it ending badly.
The question is how long can they keep the wheels on
and will it end in inflation,deflation or stagflation.

I'll skip to the punch line.

Out of curiosity I stumped up 10 bucks for the latest report from HPH (they trawl vast amounts of internet linguistic data for predictive purposes).

Their take on the next several years is pretty traumatic. It involves a multiplicity of global crises, coming to a theater near you, beginning this fall.

I'm not into spreading the fear vibe. In fact, transcending that is really the only way forward.

But I was curious about their track record. I'm pretty sure Hulbert doesn't cover them.

Without sharing too much copyrighted content, the dataset analysis includes massive inflation in food and winter fuel costs, combined with 'crushing deflation' elsewhere, especially housing. A currency/commodity crisis in the earlier fall becomes a full-blown Death Of The Dollar international crisis in Nov.

That's just the beginning.

Anyway, link is above. It's just 10 bucks, if you need a reason for a stiff drink.
