The news over here in Asia about Japan is not as strident as Americans see back home on CNN. My family keeps urging me to skip danger and fly some other way home than through Narita, but there is no evidence of radiation floating down towards Tokyo. Of course, winds may change. A more immediate...

GDP Misses, QE3 Gains, Oil Looms
We had a chance of snow on the streets of San Francisco, but the weathermen missed. We had expectations of GDP being revised up (from 3.2% to 3.3%, with whisper at 3.4%) but the economists missed. Now the reaction is coming in: JP Morgan lowered its Q1 forecast from 4% to 3.5% QE3 is now cons...

Buy The Dip?
The biggest drop since last August got the bears out of their hibernation, as well as the triumphant buy-the-dip crowd. This drop so far is but a blip in a relentless rise, and buying dips has been the right approach. Zerohedge made fun of it in a series of BTFD pictures (parent alert - risque l...

Patient Market, Impatient Pundits
I see lots of pundits trying to pick the top. Fool's errand. Better to watch for a bifurcation off the top before betting on a change of trend; otherwise ride it up. The recent bifurcation carried down into a trading plateau, but not below, meaning no break of trend. We would need a sharp drop b...

QE2 Working the Wrong Way - Has the Fed Redefined the Mission?

The Fed Follows The Market, Usually
It is commonly asserted that the Fed sets interest rates. Instead, history shows the Fed follows the market - and gets the economy into trouble when it diverges too long from what the market is saying. Tony Caldaro has an excellent piece on the Fed and rates in the 'Oughts. He shows how the Fed ...

Bulls Take Note: Tax Deal Won't Stimulate Much
There is much less stimulus than touted in the press. Political posturing has resulted in poor policy. Funny to watch the erstwhile critics of the Bush tax cuts turn into Reaganesque supply-siders. They are besides themselves crowing about how a tax cut will stimulate the economy. Where were the...

The Seasonal Pattern Has Been Working Like a Charm
The seasonal pattern is championed by Sy Harding, and this weekend he points out how it has been working fine for his subscribers. You can see the seasonal chart here with some discussion. Suffice to say the pattern suggests to buy in Nov and sell in May. Sy usually gives the all clear signal in...
Shorted the SPX at the with a stop, big test here at 1150 for the market. Holding it means a correction. Breaking it means 1200. We'll have to wait and see.

A Slight Excursion into Ending Diagonals and Other Terminal Patterns
The smart way to trade is to look for high probability moves and place bets. When markets confound as they often do, traders tend to fall back on trying to arbitrage the small moves - but that is a game so covered by the quants it is hard to see how the day trader can gain an advantage. Often th...

Time for a little public service for those crazies buying back into housing. Amherst Securities did a report on the huge shadow overhang in the housing market. They count 7M units already delinquent, up from 1.3M in 2005 and more than the 5.2M annual home sales right now. They estimate an addi...

The Psychology of This Market
Crazy stories of a feeding frenzy in housing are what we should expect to be seeing nearing the top. Imagine: multiple offers, selling in a "blink of an eye", all cash offers - what gives? After a bubble bursts, the snap-back rally carries with it a snap-back psychology. The irrational behavi...

The market in 1987 followed the pattern of 1929 very closely, which is an incredible coincidence. Extending this to 2009 shows the same pattern emerging and pointing to a top on Oct16 and a crash on Dec10. Oct16 is this Friday and options expiration, always a fun day. Now, so far we have one ...
