06/27/12 Mommy and Daddy standing by

I give Merkel credit for having the balls to say 'over my dead body.' Let the PIIGS grow up, for crying out loud.

    My definition of a 'bear trap' is the exact opposite of his.

    1. Congrats Mark - that'll be nice!

      The finishing on these big jobs I find to be the most painful.

  4. CNBC- Interesting...report that Natty fired electrical generation equal to coal. First time since 1973. I say it goes to much much higher.

  5. DUST - This one might just kick up some sand? I wasn't impressed by the brief test of $50.25 yesterday, seemed weak.

    OBV looks good though.

    PBR - This one has a gap down from ~$19.20 that needs filling.

  6. Petronas (Malaysia's state-owned energy company) buying Canadian energy company Progress Energy for a 77% premium, mainly to get at huge nat gas assets with plans for export through LNG.

    I think you will see more of these strategic buyers grabbing cheap nat gas assets helping push up prices.

  7. PAL - Note that OBV has been holding up really well despite the price discount.

  8. REDF - Another one that has a good looking OBV

  9. This is EXACTLY what I expected in FSLR. It needed another pullback to get the weak longs out and suck in more shorts. Plus options expire tomorrow and they need to screw as many of those holders over as possible.

    A few more days under the 50 DMA to build up momentum and this sucker will skyrocket. I'll be adding to my position as soon as I figure out when to sell my REDF.

  10. This is just a tantrum for the SCOTUS upholding Obamacare. It too shall pass.

    1. Tantrum reinforces vector of big blue arrow, no?

    2. For a while. Then the anger subsides and greed takes over.

  11. GE - Still within a gnat's ass of $20...

    1. Double top though, I bet it doesn't break out.

  12. So now that the cost of doing business in the US was just confirmed higher, why doesn't gold run?

  13. SLV is at a new low now, but GDXJ and especially AUMN and MUX are much higher than their mid-May low. This is supposed to be a positive sign...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Well I sold all of my REDF at $3.9 to $4.1 this morning. Not as great of an exit as I would have hoped for but I want to get some more FSLR down around $14.5 if possible.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Also worth noting that $USD is much higher now than in mid-May, and SLV *just* made a new low today... This shows a relative strength in the PM sector to $USD, in addition to the relative strength of miners relative to gold/silver noted above.

  16. Added more FSLR at $14.68

    ReplyDelete
  17. Added more FSLR at $14.72

  18. PAL - In at $2 and out at $1.98, the bid kept getting hit.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Picked up a few k shares of CHTP only for a trade.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Picked up a little more FSLR at $14.68

    ReplyDelete
  21. Alright added last bit of FSLR here at $14.56

  22. Dollar headed for 83.56? Seems like it. Americans like cheap gasoline but how do you create jobs and crush commodities simultaneously? Increased oil production might be the ticket, but if oil production really is up and we're not just experiencing demand destruction(perhaps both are happening?) then why did we have $100+ oil last summer?

    ReplyDelete
  23. PAL - The bid is growing in size, no longer shrinking. Looks like bids are just stacking up and not getting filled...

    ReplyDelete
  24. EWRL - Taking the second half off here...

    ReplyDelete
  25. eh - sold those CHTP shares at a small loss at $1.43. that was clearly one of those "bored" trades.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Added to QQQ @ 61.71, opened BAC @ 7.61, and will reopen OAKMX at the close. Mommy and Daddy are standing by in Germany and France, IMO.

  27. REDF - Sure looks as if it's ready to move up, LOL

    1. Apparently UBS thinks it's worth more, maybe they've actually been dumping? Others rate RIMM either neutral or hold, Standard and Poors rates it sell from last December:

      "07-Jun-12 Reiterated UBS Neutral $15 → $11.50"

  29. NKE better stop their CC soon.
