Yeah, same goes for FCX..(thank goodness for PUTs). All commodities got hit after Ben hinted possible no more easing or back off his plan to hold lower interest rate of US economy showing signs of moderate growth.

Gotta to see how's things going to be by Friday. Looks like top is pretty much here..

Nice play on those options leaps.
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of time horizon for position trade.

Indeed time to book profits and be cautious here.

But, I watching that 50MA like a hawk.. will add more shorts if Dow or SP500 breaks 50MA.
Going to be a long way drop to 200MA.

Russell 2000 already breaks 50MA

Dow and SP500 please follow

I will enter puts options, once there is a technical rebound on 50ma with doji (expecting it within a month or so)
momo hav to make sure the ikan bilis dun panic & sell together with them
OTHERWISE, who is gonna be the bag holder at such high level
200ma, HERE WE CUM
& patience is virtue

They will be shooting off the 50MA tonight..bulls aren't letting this drop due to better than expected ADP report.

Going to see if it can recover the 20MA first.

my hope back tomorrow.. i think CI going to 1600+.. this is my bet..

most dips followed by a rebounce.. so tomorrow most probably CI will shot up..

finally europe also green.. same to tokyo..
see u tomorrow..

YOKU buy TUDO

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-12/y...-only-deal.html

TUDO 38.40 +23.01 (149.51%)
YOKU 32.15 +7.14 (28.55%)

Holy molly for TUDO shot off like a rocket..

But, YOKU -> Baffling.. acquirer also goes up.

Weird is not a new word for China based stocks.
Did you noticed the movement in YOKU stock for the last 2 weeks? Perhaps some news leaked. hmm

I have just realised that AAPL has been up from less than $100 to $550 nowadays in just 5 years time...

Welcome to earth

Nowadays a lot of human buying Iphone in earth

I guess that explain why

Time to buy some PUTs.. $VIX too low.

market catapulted up and higher.

wait until Uncle Ben open his mouth today (not sure if he will)

Why so many US banks desperately applying to increase dividend payout and share buy back? Does this mean they see their share price very much undemanding? And they have too much cash already? If they have too much cash, why some of them (citibank) not doing good on stress test? Thank you sifus!

Not sifu,
but my opinion is they want to increase the confidence from investor. A lot of banks in Us in these years since 2007/08 cut out their dividend by large amount. well most of the US bank if you noticed all still stuck in the level of 2009.
The regulation in US had set tougher rule for bank through volcker rule and Basel III to increase the reserve requirement from banks. Beside they also some of the business used to be generating profit for bank.

Too much cash doesn't mean they wont fail the stress test. The purpose of stress test is to test whether bank can withstand with financial shock. They key question what capital is used to withstand those financial shock. some of the capital may NOT BE QUALIFIED since the new rules have been imposed. For example, Hybrid equity which compose of equity and debt always ambiguous for the purpose of reserve capital. Increase equity from investor in order to meet those stress test is a huge cost since investor see DIVIDEND as compulsory (which is very costly in perspective of bank) consistently.

my 2 cents correct me if I am wrong

Look at the banking stocks.

Take BAC, about $6 in January, now approaching $10.
