Looking at the S&P 500 and the inverse head and shoulder!

It doesnt look like it will be a merry xmas for the bears....or a happy new year.

I think we are gunna see 1490 on the S&P very soon! If that happens, the BEARS WILL BE SPITTING CHIPS! haha.
 

Oh no not the H & S call!!!

Sorry nysefloortrader as you are new around here I'll point out the rules. Firstly the H & S call is running at a woeful 14% correct rate across ASF. Secondly its banned from the big boys thread here . And thirdly I'm not so sure technically you can have a H & S pattern taking the classic setup (but hey you're welcome to join the 86%).
 
Yeah, Merry Christmas everybody!:wreath

Yes it's looking kinda strong.
However, just getting a little concerned about the new posturing over the cliff.
It almost looks like the Republicans are trying to look like they are doing everything to compromise without actually compromising anything that they know might actually get through the house.
This way they can blame Democrats for sending the US over the cliff and call his administration a disaster for America, like Bushes actually was, without the help of the Democrats. They have to get some kudos back some how.
Markets are not fearful because everyone thinks a solution will be brokered at the final hour.
But the way it's going, it might get a bit tense to say the least as C day dawns.
With capital gains likely to increase, me think it silly not to take a bit of that before Uncle Sam can.

Merry Cliffmess.:chimney
 

banned! LOL. what's this? Another trader bagging technical analysis, and giving stats, without knowing the first thing about TA in the first place?

 
Well that was fun just perfect timing for IB to have no orders going through lol, wishing I was back in the office for that one.
 
Why is the December contract (HSI) showing so much size? It seems like its rolling already?

Same yesterday.

I wish these guys would get three month contracts.

This fiscal cliff reminds me of the debt ceiling. Everybody seems to think that common sense would prevail.

But if they do resolve the cliff issue, it means the US balance sheet is going to be in worse shape...

It's a bit like a sick person celebrating he doesn't need to take a bitter medicine.

So it wouldn't surprise me that we are set up for a fall either way (then again, there's no such thing as a surprise in the market...)
 
Dear Santa,

It took you a few days, but I am very glad to see that my message has been finally received and understood.

As you are now only too well aware, I also have a team of little helpers.

Mine happen to be highly skilled in the medieval art of renegotiation.

I'm sorry that I had to instruct them to pay your quaint little cottage up north an unannounced visit this week (if only you'd taken me just a little more seriously - this courtesy may well have been avoided).

As is evident by the cessation of your jolly laughter, I can see that you appreciated the generous serving of cocktails (you know the ones I mean, named after that Russian guy "Molotov")

Anyway, now that we have reached this new understanding I trust that you'll abstain from any further rallies until after I indicate that my short exposure is amply covered.

I've always been of the understanding that you differentiate between naughty and nice when making your annual deliveries.

As recently demonstrated by the immediacy of your response to the actions of my little helpers, it is now clear to me that you show greater respect for naughtiness, so I shall endeavour to accommodate your wishes throughout the coming years.

Merry Christmas and Happy new Year Santa!

P.S. I trust that the repairs to your cottage are progressing well.
 

i love how they did this on a FRIDAY, and a friday that was OPEX friday, and then wait for it. On the date the world was meant to end!!!

Sneaky sons of beeeetches!

Wonder what they have for us next week! ::::

I think some of the bears may have had their prayers answered after all! (Mine certainly were-for the moment at least).

By the way, I notice you've met Trembling Hand. Did you happen to know that he trades professionally (i.e. he makes a comfortable living from trading) ?

P.S. Welcome to ASF!
 
A Presidents Christmas break to remember.



Unfortunately the presidents Chrismas holiday was cut short when security discovered some shady looking characters sneaking up behind him.

Concerns were alleviated, however, when the shady looking characters clarified that they were just republicans looking to see if Obama was ready to cooperate over a cup of T.

"And we wish you a happy inauguration too Sir. God bless The United States America."

John Boehner could not make the trip as he had already had too much to drink.
