Futures pushed a couple of points higher over night, but fell back when the GDP number at 8:30am came up short of the consensus estimate. Breadth got stretched to the upside yesterday, so without a positive catalyst, the bulls may encounter tough sledding today. Chicago PMI at 9:45, Consumer Sentiment at 9:55, and then the crickets take over.

just it takes a bit to get used to and you cant get charts set up the way you like sometime but its ok overall
Well, now you tell me.
how do you like it vs. SD?
Ha, you answered before I asked.
Thanks
now BID is getting bored of the red and is trying on some green candles.
The latest business buzzzzzz words? “Customer experience”. Replaces “Customer service” I suppose since it has tire tracks on it now. What a hoot!
K, we got triple triplets – 111.
BID loves red ink.?
I hope the red ink doesnt cause a spill like the Gulf.
George,
maybe -222 would be nicer ring
of course the -777 days shall be upon us

G… prob going to break 1180 and head to 1170-1150…..
GEORGE….2TH FIXER >>>>break of lows is now nearly assured…ie it was a 3 wave rally as i thought
Through all this mayhem, the R2K hasn’t even touched its daily 20SMA. It’s getting close to it now though. I’m interested to see what happens there.
GEORGE>>>…next week should put in the BOTTOM in stocks and the TOP in gold and bonds…..get ready to SHIFT assets
listen guys/gals
I need SPX below 1188 for close so i can get a free drink. I’ll make it trickle down if you help out haha
SCOTTY…i think you are long now??? this could be a triangle so if we dont take out the lows today i am going to add more SCHX here just in case
URE finally closed its gap
Easy Phil,remembe earlier I said watch out GS getting crushed,as GS goes the market goes…me big dummy.
Nice call, Phil.
closing LOD
Phil,
I’ve been adding to the dips on the inverse – a reversal from previous trading. Won’t last long though. We’ll soon be buying SPY dips again.
Couldnt even hold 1187
Matt,
That R2K is tough. I would have thought there would be a shift from it by now.
Well, the R2K couldn’t hold it and closed below by a half point or so.
SPX at 1186.53 !!! Free drink!!!!!!!!!!
BOUGHT SCHX as the bell was ringing @ 28.10
“The gambling commission is hanging on by the skin of its teeth.”
K, try The Boss as some point in your American Life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-LIEr43_wk&feature=related
what’s the Boss Mitch?
Bruce? I’ve listened to some of his songs
if you mean a drink then sign me up haha
K, I’d buy you whatever you wanted – my buds say they have to drink there’s and mine when we go out.
sorry, “theirs.” Can’t blame that on the iphone.
K,
Enjoy your drink. Take a 50gal. drum with you.
ahaha! you guys are funny
LOL 3 puerto rican banks failed.
talk about widespread trouble hehe
Westernbank Puetro Rico, Mayaquez, PR – [En Español]
R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico, Hato Rey, PR – [En Español]
Eurobank, San Juan, PR – [En Español]
Hopefully this turns out to be a big nothing… But Reuters is reporting that the Coast Guard says it’s responding to a second Louisiana overturned rig in the Charenton Navigational Channel.
that just made my day
http://whatthehell.eu/parking-win
Why don’t they sell cars like that in the U.S.? Compact and sporty.
you know my fascination for bank failure stats wont stop
Taken together, the estimated loss for the Deposit Insurance Fund for the three failed Puerto Rican banks is a whopping $5.3 billion.
That’s the largest hit to the Deposit Insurance Fund since IndyMac failed nearly two years ago, costing the DIF $10.7 billion.
for more info of course i have to do the right thing and link

add #63 to the bank
wohoooo

I mean ouch
Thousands of opposition supporters staged a massive protest rally in the Albanian capital city of Tirana on Friday, demanding a partial recount of votes polled in last year’s elections.
The protest rally organized by the Socialist Party, claimed that more than 200,000 of its supporters attended Friday’s demonstration. But there was no official confirmation on the numbers by the Albanian government.
add #64 ? holy freakin cow

Golf was okay. Led my team to a nice 10 under finish, made some nice putts, but very middle of the pack.
When the SPX didn’t overlap my wave 1 marker (1197.54), I purchased some SDS options. Setup autotrader to liquidate half after a new low was made (with a small trailing stop) so it sold about 3:45 pm. Still holding half looking for more downside. I’ll be in your camp for 1155 Phil as I have a rooting interest in that game. My goal is slightly more modest at 1172. If this is a triangle Phil, at least I sold some here looking to reload when the d leg hits a top next week.
Phil, good talking with you today. We share much of the same thoughts, but you are wiser and able to trade it better than I. I will keep learning.
K, do you have a birthday cake made up each weekend with the numbered candles depicting the failed banks on top?
Do you have a feeling as to whether the Great Depression or the Great Recession will have more bank failures?
K,
“Sell in May and go away” didn’t work last year but it did the year before, although selling had aready started before May. Another Market Myth Miff’ed.
2thfixr,
Good golf outing I guess. I never got into golf. At least it isn’t a judged sport.
What is the auto trader you have; is it with your trading platform?
Matt,
I have to PIIGyback George and Joan and extend thanks for your tireless efforts at hosting the blog.
RUT fell through the lower channel line that started back at the late February pullback and has 4 hits… thus making it more significant. RUT was a clear 5 wave down today. It hit and just spiked the EWT channel for the 5 waves down. Interestingly, unless we get a gap-down and fall or we get that broadening top (less likely now with today’s technical damage, IMHO), if we bounce on Monday on the RUT, I want to watch the 730 area (give or take) closely. This area would be not only the 62 Fib retrace of Friday’s fall, but also the area where the lower channel line would be retested from below. That would fit nicely with EWT (and GM!). If it goes up on Monday, hits that area and stops, RUT puts thereafter would be sweeeeet. Monday should be very interesting.
Broadening top reference wasn’t the RUT, but rather the INDU and SPX.
Actually, on the RUT, a rise Monday to the 730 zone could make a beautiful 1,2,i,ii.
Is it Monday yet?
microsoft has a page on humor?

Warren Buffet is on the GS band wagon,Greece cuts a deal this weekend and we could see a big gap up
longest bull$hit but interesting video

“I think” I think I think I think is what he keeps saying.
UGH
Yes JG, the Chinese curse of “may you live in interesting times” is certainly coming true. Monday will be very telling as the direction things will be going. But, knowing the market, it just ain’t gonna be easy to figure out quickly. I’d love a nice gap down to settle the issue (H&S target of 1140 anyone?), but something tells me ramp up Monday will happen and we’ll all be “limbo” again.
Good to see you posting here again.
2thfixr, thanks. Will post when I can.
unless you want to subscribe to euroweek the edge of zeroes is here

yeahh keep pushing greece cause it’ll get worse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDU1-1_xUMc
K, the Greecefire *will* spread….systemic deficits may take down the rest of the PIIGS, but the US is going to be like the last of the foreclosure holdouts….the piper will have to be paid, sooner or later.
hehe
In the wealthy, northern suburbs of [Athens], where summer temperatures often hit the high 90s, just 324 residents checked the box on their tax returns admitting that they owned pools.
So tax investigators studied satellite photos of the area — a sprawling collection of expensive villas tucked behind tall gates — and came back with a decidedly different number: 16,974 pools.
I have been posting a chart of the the 144 period MA in Green and the 144 period offset by 8, in Red. This is roughly the 18dma. This is the updated chart. I have added a Histogram at the bottom. The Histogram is constructed by subtracting the 144MA offset from the 144 MA, then dividing by the 144MA. This give a % that the two averages are growing away from each other, I THINK! I don’t know how to use this info just yet, but I am thinking that depending on how much the difference is between the two, the lower chart of say the 15 should be traded differently. Something to look at though.
Talk to y’all next weekend. This Enumerator has to work this week. Most statistical surveys quote a % accuracy. Like + or – 3%. I have already seen that this Census Bureau data must end up being + or – 30%

Movie Gallery’s Chapter 22 just turned into a 7. The WSJ reports that the firm has decided to shutter all of its 2,415 stores and liquidate completely.
The Wilsonville, Ore., chain had hoped to restructure in bankruptcy court and continue operating around a smaller set of viable stores. The company employed more than 19,000 people when it filed for bankruptcy.

Yep, Greece gets bailed, the rally can resume, all is now well in the world…..
Randall, perfect. We can rally a little longer, but when the rest of the PIIGS come a’callin’ in a few months, this rally will officially be DOA. Why? Because the populace of the good ol’ U.S. of A will be heard loudly and clearly that any further debt will not be tolerated lest we become the next country to default on its debt. There is nobody to bail us out and we know it. Time to get our financial house in order.
Phil, if we rally Monday, we will have completed a big 4th wave ABC with D starting and E to follow. Proceed to new highs after that. Nice.
String, can you show more of that chart you’ve created? Specifically, I’m asking for the area(s) where the histogram goes + to – and vice-versa. How much of the rally does it miss before it crosses, and how much of the top does it lose on the way down? It looks like it is better than the 50/200 cross so far. Nice work.
I bought a Honda power washer last week. I used it all weekend on a house. I came across this video about a new device Honda is coming out with. I’m assuming it’s the same Honda company.

SPY is consolidating on the daily. Reverse that of course for the inverse which had a buy signal several days ago. Breakout coming, up or down.
