tomthetrader: Not until FEB
tomthetrader: just 1-3% this week
tomthetrader: then a rally and then a 8-10% drop in Feb
(11:55 AM) vishal8: Tom when you send us these reports like Roy Ashworth, Helene etc, which ones are the ones you generally agree with ?
(12:02 PM) TTTMichael: Thinking of selling LQD which I have owned since Nov, and buying DUK which pays a higher dividend and looks to have more potential now.
(12:07 PM) Fulkdaddy: Look at JNK!
(12:23 PM) Fulkdaddy: RUT showing leadership now?
(12:24 PM) TraderTim: Still has not broken opening range but it is sure trying to now
(12:24 PM) TraderTim: A/D: +918
tomthetrader: I don't generally agree with many
tomthetrader: I think they all have their places
tomthetrader: I like Jason Goepfert for dat info Dick Arms and Ned Davis for market timing
tomthetrader: and some of the owrk by peter Elliades and the blogs that I follow have daily input
tomthetrader: Market wants to go higher but I still do not think it has the power to go much [past Fri High
tomthetrader: and will stay 50% short
tomthetrader: stop around 944 SPX level
(12:56 PM) TraderTim: A/D: +757 dropping
tomthetrader: we have probably seen the peak in public buying here
tomthetrader: 1:56 pm -4:00pm should be weak ?
tomthetrader: but market is doing a wonderful job of digesting the 20-400% gains in stocks
(1:01 PM) berniectx: DIE BULLS...where is Thomas?
tomthetrader: very Bullish
tomthetrader: Thomas is working hard on fixing his watch ?
(1:01 PM) berniectx: miss his rants and watch calls
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: I suspect we may get a little more upside follow through over the next session or two (there is a tendency for the market to follow through after a day like yesterday, and the 2nd trading day of the year is one of the most consistently positive), but that should be all given back and then some over the coming week(s).
tomthetrader: Scares me tjhat some of the biggest bears inj the world have turned bullish and are buying futures and stocks tied to the economy ?
(1:16 PM) Fulkdaddy: Who?
tomthetrader: it was just a few weeks ago we got the "world has just ended " with DRYS at 3.00
(1:16 PM) Fulkdaddy: Still may have as nothing goes straight up or down
tomthetrader: Kass Knight over 50 CNBC managers
tomthetrader: interviewed
(1:18 PM) Fulkdaddy: Tim and I need to give you our take on Doug Kass as you seem to see him in a much different light than we do.
tomthetrader: I was in the 1% saying the housing market has bottomed and the economy is not falling as bad as people think and GDP should be + By the 2nd -3rd quarter of 09
(1:18 PM) Fulkdaddy: He runs a short fund but is not afraid to go long when conditions are right
tomthetrader: He has a pretty miserable record ?
tomthetrader: Great guy , very astute
tomthetrader: haven't seen a good trade as he was short for the past 8 years to my knowledge ..which may be limited /
tomthetrader: and short in the 90's ?
tomthetrader: I like to read the top 10 Hulbert choices and I really like Mark Hulbert as he has become a phenom of market timing in his own right ...doug has no rating
(1:27 PM) Fulkdaddy: Doug is a hedge fund
(1:28 PM) Fulkdaddy: Pretty amazing that he could make money and build a short only hedge fund in the 90's and make money!
(1:38 PM) TraderTim: Two comments: 1) I too am finding Hulbert an interesting market timer based on years of experience reading/tracking newsletters (sometimes contrarian but sometimes not) 2) KASS has an amazing ability to identify OUTLIER "surprises" (kind of Black Swan fundamentals) and is usually early but seems to get the direction right over time
(1:40 PM) TraderTim: One of the interesting things about KASS is his ability to CHANGE his thesis once it becomes commonplace. So he clearly is more comfortable being a contrarian (both long and short)
(1:41 PM) TraderTim: Kass is almost as good as FULK!!!!
(1:41 PM) Fulkdaddy: Fulk who?
(1:41 PM) TraderTim: and you know how much we love that FULK guy
(1:42 PM) Fulkdaddy: Can you introduce me?
(1:42 PM) TraderTim: seriously though, I think KASS has value add in by forcing you to think the "opposing" viewpoint. Very valuable.
(1:47 PM) TraderTim: FULK: Your JNK pick was the best of all the JUNK I am watching. Better than FYAIX PDHYX (tradeable mutual funds) and even beats the stallwarts NTHEX.
tomthetrader: ZF HYB QQQX beating JUNK !
(1:50 PM) TraderTim: this is true!!!
(1:51 PM) TraderTim: hyb is great
tomthetrader: ZTR beating JNK
(1:52 PM) TraderTim: but remember, the magic of the JUNK trend is it is low volitility (regular mutual fund junk that is) and gives you a week or two for the trend to "roll over" making it easier to trade with trend following tools like moving averages.
tomthetrader: Just the dividends are blowing me away on these
(1:52 PM) TraderTim: I know. You picked some nice
(1:52 PM) TraderTim: "total return" funds
(1:52 PM) TraderTim: for this runup
tomthetrader: investors had to move from t-bills to high yield to utilities and untimately to stocks
(1:55 PM) pupster1: long CRZO and CRZO from Friday
(1:55 PM) pupster1: CHK rather

(2:12 PM) JR Roden: What is the symbol to track TF?
(2:12 PM) JR Roden: I have OptionsXpress charting
(2:12 PM) TraderTim: TF is the symbol used on IB. I follow TFH9 (march contract) right now.
(2:13 PM) TraderTim: Search under Russell emini futures
(2:13 PM) thomas_Poland: I think that YM is a tell
(2:14 PM) TraderTim: YM is not getting near the high from friday . . . so a negative tell

tomthetrader: Pres . Elect "the economy is sick and getting worse"
(3:10 PM) vishal8: is Obama speaking now on CNBCaca ?
(3:10 PM) JR Roden: I'm sure he will make things sound as bad as possible now, with the goal of making his programs look all that much better if they are successful.
tomthetrader: agree

tomthetrader: taking another 10% off

tomthetrader: and maybe see a gap down tomorrow ...I still think 900 test soon
(3:23 PM) berniectx: thx am holding for BE I hope

(3:55 PM) arujunaa: no strong view here, fulk. just wading through research. we are at first support levels: 2.50% & 3% on 10s & 30s. the "trend" is over and we will now have a choppy traders' market. we have a lot of supply this week, but nfp report on friday. the popular belief is that treasuries will continue to sell-off in the short term. if they do, i will be looking to go long at 2.80%ish on 10s.
tomthetrader: Thanks Aruj !
tomthetrader: GDP 4% this Spring ?
(3:56 PM) arujunaa: nope
