Nice open this morning.

Looks like we've got some strength again.

Riding the bull roller coaster.

I guess Jim Cramer wasn't doing a good enough job.

I guess Jim Cramer wasn't doing a good enough job.

Sounds like old saying holds true! - Money talks, BS walks?

 

[Birchtree]

I'm in so deep I got straws in my nose as protection watching the superlative bull manure pile up.

 

[Bullitt]

You know what they say, "Market UP in the Morning, Traders take Warning".

And by the way the market finished, looks like the smart money wasn't too interested in Warren Buffet's display of uncommon valor.

 

[Oldcoin]

Maybe we’ll have a follow through today with KO and better than expected retail sales.

 

[James48843]

And, we're off!

S&P up .82% in the first two minutes of trading. Nice start.

 

[Bullitt]

The PPT tends to be more prominent during options expiration weeks. Next options ex is a triple witching. Something to think about.

Looks like we gapped up this morning, I hate gaps. It’ll have to be filled, the sooner the better.

Bullitt,
Terrific find! - Scary link! - re: PPT/subject identified!
I think this link is a "MUST READ" for everyone here!

And everyone, watch out, re: "...spilled beans. If you are a small investor, be careful you don't slip on them." :notrust:

Yup, it's a fact that they do exist, but they can only pump for so long. The market is too big. Especially the FOREX market. The BOJ has been known to manipulate the Yen from time to time.

As does the Yakuza.

I'm hiding in the G bunker a while waiting for the shock and aw to clear up. Anyone got any Idea when we can crawl out of our holes. I've made more in the G fund than I have in the I fund for the month.

 

[James48843]

Man, this stuff is ghetting old.

I long for a good, solid, green day.

Where's the beef?

 

[weatherweenie]

Where's the beef?

It's been recalled.

 

[tsptalk]

Ambac bailout? Why do I hate that word bailout?

 

[James48843]

Man- would somebody please pass me a TUMS?

I can't believe the see-saw action here.

Can you believe we end the day in the green????



What a day!

 

[Silverbird]

Because you can throw all the money you want at it, but it still smells? Even if they get bailed out, I personally don't think that's going to convince investors to start buying Ambac-backed instruments, and that's the underlying problem, yes?
