Bernanke and Geithner Win (for now)

Allow me to set the stage: Last winter as the world was falling apart Bernanke and Geither had three options: Nationalize the largest banks which represented systemic risk ($C, $BAC, $WFC), sell off their assets piece by piece, and put the full weight of the United States balance sheet behind the financial system in a transparent way.

Hugging My GLD Like a Teddy Bear

While everything else continues to chop around, fail breakouts and mean revert, my gold position in $GLD continues to work.  Is it making me mucho deniro, not really, i was unfortunately loaded with equities at the time I took the $GLD position and didn’t add more than one lot on the breakout.  Since that breakout in [ READ MORE ]

Back to Work and Sitting On My Hands

Back at my desk today after two weeks of travel, it’s nice to be stationary for a bit. The major story late last week was of course the disaster that is Dubai. Capitalism has the ultimate learning curve. Back in the early 90′s the oil rich gulf nations had no clue what to do with [ READ MORE ]

Interesting Reading From Last Week

I wasn’t able to get a weekend reading post out last week while traveling, call your airline and complain that they haven’t installed wifi yet.  Here are a few interesting reads that I came across. Bill Gross may talk his book incessantly, but it’s hard to argue with his logic or track record (NYT) This [ READ MORE ]

Cartagena Colombia and Andres

I’m exhausted, just truly running on empty right now.  I haven’t slept more than 4 hours in a week, been to Vegas and Colombia, and I’m ready to crash.  But before that happens, and I flip the book to a new week of truly getting back to work, reading up on this Dubai debacle, and focusing [ READ MORE ]

Bogota Colombia

We flew into Bogotá Colombia late last night and had the chance to walk around through the neighborhood where my cousin lives.  Situated up against the mountains to the north, this area is home to the wealthy, internationals, and yuppies.  The architecture is very 1970′s socialist, boxy, a lot of concrete and red brick, and rather [ READ MORE ]

Running Out of Breadth

Like a less talented, smaller, slower team, the market is just hanging around, scrapping and clawing to stay in the game.  Teams like this are dangerous, it’s anyone’s game in the waning minutes.  A big push up above 1120 with volume on the $SPX and I wouldn’t be surprised to see another round of buying [ READ MORE ]

Weekend Reading

This week’s weekend reading post is a bit belated due to several factors, foremost of which is my recovery from the Vegas trip.  It will be another week of traveling for me as I leave for Bogotá Colombia on Tuesday to spend Thanksgiving with some family down there.  We will also be taking a short two day trip to [ READ MORE ]

We Go Lower

The market gave it up today, as I expected.  I’ve been warning you the past few days that the momentum had left the market and we were stalling out.  We were at the top of the channel range, it was either a break through on volume leading to a crazy melt up or we were [ READ MORE ]
