Wa pretty much priced in mkt ticking up towards apple earnings

For the moment mr. market is holding steady.
The party will happen after the close.
NFLX is also reporting.

I bought some puts on NFLX and APPL. The APPL ones are just a hedge against me shares. Long TZA and short FTSE also. This market is just waiting for a catalyst to die.

only when IG clients go from 85% bearish to 85% bullish will the markets collapse. cant collapse while they stay short

 

[zorbas]

With the debt ceiling resolved and so much money out there offering support, it is very impropable a collapse, maybe small corections. The overall trend is up.

Debt ain't resolved. It's just got another 3 months before they all argue again. At some point there's going to be a real fight about it, but that could be years away. So yes I will take your point for the time being its not going to upset the apple cart.

Think ES will now start a little leg down, maybe to about 1470 area over the next couple of days.

Big sell orders going through this time of night.
