    Good luck, guy.

    But I think you fought gold for a couple of hundred points on the wrong side and now you reversed your position at the top? Almost ready to fade you and short it here....lol.

    Basically this.

    Looks like QE1 and QE2 failed, huh?

    I hope it keeps falling. Then we can get great deals on undervalued companies

    This could all just be a bond relief rally after everyone either piled into bonds because they're safe from default again. Or it could be from a recession coming. Tomorrow's NFP's will tell the tale.

    Do not panic - stocks you owned a few days ago that were solid still are just lower. The blame for this downturn falls on European concerns. Clearly, our dysfunctional government did not help. Clinton or Reagan would have shown real leadership. Bush was a disaster, Obama a disappointment. We habve a lack ofq leadership at the top and insanity with the tea party at the bottom! Things will be bumpy fora while - my suggestion is to look forenames that you understand and are oversold but remain solid. This is not the time to be brave but cautious. However, panicking is not the answer. No- we are not all f'd

    Futures point to a 140-150 open but highly doubt that will hold since it's a friday. The initial bump is coming from the jobs report just released - it's better than expected but still below the number needed to keep pace with population etc.....so it's still a negative overall. I'm guessing a -37 to +12 day by 4:30

    Coach if the traders in NY propped up european bond markets then these 'Bailouts' that are creating a crisis of confidence wouldve been avoided...They are too stingy to fork out a few hundred billion to stabilise things and instead wipe out trillions in value through their own desensitized definition of greed

    Recommendation from a trader I trust:

    3:00 AM, EDT - The law of unintended consequences has reared its ugly head in the action of equities markets world wide. The continued fumbling of EU leaders in papering over the fiscal problems of its more profligate members and the attention brought to the extent of the gigantic US debt during the Debt Ceiling resolution machinations have suddenly awakened the investing public to the reality of their rapidly weakening currencies. The flight to gold and stable currencies such as the Swiss Franc has been dramatic and pronounced and has generated the urgency of people to “get liquid”. Hence the near panic selling of shares that accelerated yesterday to a 4% plunge in the US equities markets. As an old market trope goes, the orders have changed from ’get me out’ to ’get me the F*#K out’! Thursday may have been a selling climax, but, as large as it was, the plummet pales in comparison to say, to that of October 1987, when the one day drop was over 20%. This suggests that at least a severely down opening is on the cards today, and, if it breaks SPX 1175, a revisiting of the SPX 1050 level could occur. Today’s July Non Farm Payroll Report may be the key to the initial trading. If it’s as bad as June’s, a disastrous opening could be the case. However, since the underlying shares have largely been increasing profits, SPX 1175 could contain the carnage and present a short term buying opportunity. Why? The simple facts are that, in a period of inflationary currency, the hard assets and earning power of corporations present a storehouse of value, and are known by professionals to be a far safer haven than Sovereign bonds of most nations, the US included.


    Trading Recommendation - If, and only if, the SPX remains above 1175 by 10:00 AM, initiate a 10 time iron condor in the Aug SPX contracts, buying the 1170 and selling the 1175 puts, selling the 1250 and buying the 1255 calls for whatever credit is then available over 3.00. If that cannot be done, abandon the trade.

    Listening for market advice at SBR is like taking losing weight tips from someone at the buffet line in Vegas.

    should have sold...even at market prices...no need to stay in unless you are really long. If so...load up on the ones at discount.
