Got a message about nasdaq too...

Becare ful, don't key in wrong order during this time. Dangerous!!

IMO, Bear hasn't really come out and play in full force yet, just peeks its head and look around only.

I'm waiting for Sp500 to go below 1640 but it doesn't want to. Gone back above 1650 again.
But, bear seems to be attacking emerging market rather than US market.

yes, including Taiwan, S.Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Latin American, etc...

Seems like for every time there is a -1% fall in US market, it follows by another -2% in emerging market,
when US market bounce 1%, emerging market bounce 0.5%.

So, the funds back filling the US market gap with the money out from emerging market area.

They're anticipating US Fed will taper its bond buying program, therefore less liquidity, stronger dollar, so
they're taking it out from elsewhere and feeding it back into US to earn more interests with better and stronger earnings.

The Sp500 companies earnings been pretty strong..this half year, SP500 already gone more than 15%, that's more
than the last full two years.

Taper or no taper, they're investing in US stocks. But they are tapering off elsewhere. The big boys are in control..

What you talking about??...

I'm just a small little fish in the big ocean. Anytime the sharks can come and eat me too.

I'm hearing chatter rumor that the overnight glitch at Nasdaq may be caused by hacking.
Hopefully, hackers won't break the system.

I'm out of my GMCR 85.50 again tonight (round two). That's good enough for me this week.
Wait for dips and buy again. The floor is rising to 83 now.

On other tidbits...
MSFT spiked 7%+ after Ballmer announced he'll be retiring soon.
Investors are eager for him to leave....

Waiting for GMCR to drop to 83...

AAPL - rock solid support at 495-500, seems good. Looking to sell PUTs at 495/490 for this week.

Yes, apparently once a bear stock got into bull mode, it will go on for quite some time.



Take a look at QIHU. Remember this one? I said speculative play back in June, short term price target 49.
Fast forward two months... bam! rocket to moon already.. still going up.

LOL! Look at oil and gold, spiking up just for that.

It will be interesting to see if this holds true or not.

Get ready and get some cash ready for some big shopping.

If you believe that, you can Sell/Short into the rally and buy the dips for equity.
When they decided not to strike (or postpone), the market will rally, oil/gold/usd will fall.

I like to see if there is straddle play here for either side.

No... .er. something doesn't feel right. Getting mixed signals from my indicators.

I'm staying in cash right now.

US now got no support. UK bailed. France also thinking about bailing. US Congress pissed at Obama.
I think Obama wants to bluff Syria but Assad not caving it. Difficult to proceed.

I'm staying in cash and off tonight .No trading for long holiday weekend.

Just checking in...to take peek at the market but no play for me this week since I'm on vacation.

Still staying in cash. Watching bulls/bear fight from the sidelines.

Well.. if this is true. LVS (and others) could tank because the crowd in Macau could go away if mainland folks decided stay in Mainland instead of traveling to Macau to gamble. I don't think Macau govt will like that very much and most likely they'll try to cozy up the Beijing to continue to let Macau prosper by having only the exclusive
gambling zone.

Really aah?

If that's true.. no need to go to Las Vegas anymore for nudie shows, just hop on plane to Macau.

Also, in addition to entertainment, if Macau can focus more on "business events", it can continue to prosper too.
I'm sure a lot of business meetings can be conducted in Macau too..
Then, I have excuses to go here.. myself.

Walau heh... gone for two weeks holiday, bulls came out and knock all bears back into cave.

Oh darn.. I didn't watch for AAPL for two weeks, got whacked down to my buy price at 450s-460s.

Need to get some to trade along.

Woohoo! I can smell this coming weekend diiner already..

9 mln iPhones sales. What a record...

No.. it seems that they sold out the 5s than 5c. I guess less people wants cheap plastic phone than the premium ones.
Obviously, AAPL fans want the real thing.

Let see how the China users react later when it's launch later. Maybe the 5c will entice them.
