350Z's I Fund Thread - Sept. 07

[huntva]

Speaking of market posturing, how about 9/11, coming up on a Tuesday, which has seen many market declines this year?

Bernake doesn't want to be looked at as a Wall street whore, like Greenspan.:laugh:

if they fix the jobs data, he'll have his academic excuse to cut. Supposedly, he wrote papers on Japan waiting too long to cut and then they were led into a recession. Ain't no way he wants the R word -- which is where we'll go if the investing class can't make money in real estate or equities -- which will be a real freeze on liquidity. Get ready for the happy endings, we're in Benny's Bunny Ranch.

ADP came in at 38K. Add some government jobs and we might get 65-70K. Not bad enough for a cut. What's really funny is that their bullshit "birth/death" model is keeping them from cutting rates.:laugh:

 

[350zCommTech]

Current estimate: Up .160% or 4 cents.

 

[350zCommTech]

Up .501% or 12 cents.

USM's have blipped up a good bit in the last half hour. If it drops back down this afternoon, perhaps a -FV would set up the steal for tomorrow. Any thoughts on WHY we are up and whether its likely to last?

My guess is that the Europeans drove it up thanks to the ECB and Fed injections this morning. I don't think it'll last.

Market Update

11:30 am : A renewed wave of buying interest within the last 10 minutes has spiked the indices toward their opening highs. Since there are no specific news items to account for the broad-based move to the upside, all three major averages rising in synch with each other and logging roughly the same percentage improvements suggests the triggering of a buy program.

One this early either won't last or knock the top of the charts out, take your pick.:worried:

THE FED
Fed's Lockhart: No sign housing woes hitting broad economy
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
Last Update: 12:50 PM ET Sep 6, 2007

Lockhart said unwarranted intervention in financial markets raises concerns about "moral hazard."

"This problem could occur if investors come to believe that -- because of likely Fed intervention -- they are immune from severe downside risk," Lockhart said.

"The risks and rewards of market participation should play out - to the extent possible -without interference," he said.

Sounds like he's telling the market to not look for a cut.

watch for +fv today

Wouldn't that require some upward movement in equities?

Let's see, according to my watch the market is still opened. But, very good observation. You get a prize!!

 

[Fivetears]

The USD is down .33%

Wouldn't that require some upward movement in equities?

 

[Fivetears]

I agree. They'll be no cut as long as there is any indication of strength. Our markets are moving generally upward. Jim Cramer is going to be disappointed this FED go-around.

If they don't cut, it's going to be "ARMAGEDDON!"
