drat, techs have been getting pounded the last couple weeks. I guess they were the big leaders in the rally of the last six months, and were a bit overbought and overhyped (especially GOOG and AAPL). Kinda pissed I didn't get out of INTC at 20.75 like I originally planned to, though.

Christobevii3 posted:Its amazing how the $1.40 per a euro was like the line in the sand for the carry trade. Now everyone is running to the door it seems. I'll wait for Dow around 9300 before I take a look at anything. I am familiar with the concept of carry trading, but am confused by what you meant with $1.40 being the line in the sand. Can you go into a little bit more detail with that?

Christobevii3 posted:Because that is the time frame when a lot of people took out the loans. If you have forex negatively effecting the trade whats the point of holding? So essentially people took out low interest loans in dollars, and then loaned them out again in Euros. This stays all fine and dandy as long as the Euro is equal or stronger in value versus the dollar. Right now, since people generally took out those loans in dollars around this exchange rate ($1.40), people are jumping ship, accelerating the strengthening of the dollar versus the Euro (and potentially driving down equities). Would that be a fair assessment of this current USDEUR exchange rate?

Duey posted:I did the same thing. I took my profits last week and I'm going to see how bad this storm gets. Friday employment numbers will be dismal post-holiday and that'll push the DOW under 10,000 which will put all the bulls into a panic. Even if I am wrong about that, I doubt I'll miss out on any profit in the next few weeks from anything. I sold everything buy INTC, which every Thursday I have been kicking myself for. I was extremely close to by limit order, and I just figured it would cycle to it eventually.

Any comments on China's reserve ration hiked? If history has shown us anything is that too much growth in too short of a time can end really badly. I am wondering if they are trying to regulate it so they don't have an eventual crash. That or they are just trying to be responsible with their financial system. (lol)

LactoseO.D.'d posted:Gold isn't as sensitive to interest rates as a lot of the other commodities. I don't know what the official reason for that is, but it probably depends on who you ask. Gold is sensitive to the value of the dollar though, not to mention idiots who think its some hedge for the zombie inflation apocalypse. Watching most gold stocks, you can usually track it inverse to the dollar, and the dollar strengthened a lot today (especially in the morning). I've been watching GLL pretty closely, but I don't have the balls to actually put in a position until we start flirting with $1000/oz

Just wanted to thank TraderStav for screaming how terrible an investment it was. Especially calling F a pennystock. I think you are still missing the point of what he was probably saying... What you are doing now is coming out of a casino after winning big and telling off all those people who said gambling is a waste of money.

Christobevii3 posted:Value play what? The earnings growth isn't there, winding down fios, debt carrying industry, and not going outside of north america for growth? It is a telecom, which like most infrastructure companies have a high cost of doing business just to stay in business. The only thing I could see help them to become a value play is inflation, since it would make their prior debt service cost go down. Value play would be like Exxon Mobile or someone with a poo poo ton of cash, but again its not really a growing industry atm either. Not to mention that every major player in the industry is gearing up to beat the hell out of each other soon. I have a feeling that telecom is going to be a wild ride in the next few years until someone figures out how the future of broadband is going to be handled. I think as more people get angry with it, they will eventually end up like the old utility and bell companies. Regulated and slow growth. VZ has one nice rear end dividend though...

Dr. Needleman posted:Reading through this thread, I feel like you guys are discussing quantum physics while I'm still trying to grasp long division. Please tell me I'm not alone. The problem with the penny stocks is that this is usually not the case. Investing in them is usually just betting that there might be a short term jump to take profits on. That or you better be drat sure that they have some new product which will launch them into the big leagues. Also, stop looking at share price. If anything look at market capitalization.

PsychoAndy posted:First off, good call on the 10 year yield going from 4 to 3.75, as opposed to 4.25. I would agree, in that there's a lot of resistance on the TLT at 92ish, and I don't think people will freak out as extensively regarding Greece, unless they actually default and/or leave the Eurozone. Most of the damage is done/priced in, so I'm more inclined to look into selling treasuries or playing the range of 89-91 on the TLT. Personally, I think the market just looking for a good reason to have a significant down day. All this rallying is making people (including me) uneasy. However I think there is too much positive pressure on the US economy to really slow it down. I wouldn't be surprised if we closed close to even today to be quite honest.

I will find it hilarious if this GS witch hunt backfires on these politicians. The market is due for a pullback. Earnings and every other piece of economic news is extremely positive, but stocks are faltering. Europe is having its problems, and here they are parading around with this GS poo poo. If they're not careful, they might find themselves with a lot of pissed off voters whose 401(k)s just tanked right at the same time they started crusading to "fix" the economy.

Jabbu posted:This whole Goldman ordeal may be the first time some of these politicians are actually getting to know how Wall Street works and it is making them look like morons to a great deal of people. They are utilizing so many resources to try and nail Goldman Sachs to the cross while leaving the actual system unchanged and it's tanking the markets. Goldman will probably at worst put up a fall guy and that's it. That will only be necessary because at this point the government is going to find something, anything. Whatever they end up deciding to "find" will be so trumped up it will be ridiculous. That and I think people forget that money > ideals. Yeah, 10-15% of the population is unemployed, but for the other 90-85% of the population poo poo is starting to pick up, their stock and retirement accounts are in the black, and they don't like it when they lose 3% on their portfolio because some idiot in Washington wants to grandstand. Also: INTC has been bouncing around at support all day today, I think it would be a good buy if you aren't into the whole weekend sovereign credit meltdown theory.

Volatility is still relatively high, there was a big airline merger, new was pretty good today and the Europe issue hasn't really gotten worse (or better). I think we are going to see a lot of see-sawing between good earnings and economic indicators domestically and Europe blowing up in the coming weeks.
