still seeing support at 1514 SPX but ave bit higher, market feels bid ! look out 14 k dow ! new highs today ?

 

[chimpmagnet]

Certainly feels like a base in the market today but we all know it can crack quickly when it wants to. However I tend to agree market looks bid today so have only been picking off the tops and grabbing a few points here and there.

Still holding the last of FTSE short (25% left), should have ducked out as planned at 6300-ish yesterday, or even this morning at 6310, but got greedy

Still holding medium size Dow short too, looking for sub-13900, though might have to hold until next week now. That Empire State was almost too strong :-0

monte carlo or bust

Medley on Fed....gist.... Fed officials discussed at their January meeting their individual assessments of conditions under which they would slow asset purchases this year though it remains a low probability economic conditions will afford them the ability to stop the program in 2013

just a heads up guys ur gonna see money leaving long end on this , will flow into equities or cash could see a decent bid in stocks, here is TY chart also, declining trendline holding.

 

[Dick Lexic]

i think we've had a big volume surge on the ftse...right at the top

 

[chimpmagnet]

uMich higher than forecast. Dow getting a bid.

Surprised to see FTSE powering upwards: Oil down hard today and Sterling strong.

 

[Dick Lexic]

i think the ftse's took a bit of a hit

 

[samspade79]

We failed to make a new high, got smacked down at the old high. Bulls furious. They've been patient, not had a new high for 24 hours now.

Dax has been the leader these past few months. My inclination is to short the Dow, which I just did at 13994 (but will only claim a few points if I get them, don't want to be stuck in the bigger positions over w/e).
