Dow close on Monday at 16103, Tuesday gapped open around the 130 level. Hasnt closed ... yet.

A comment left on Bloombergs web site ...

"christopherbsd • 16 days ago
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen looks like grampa Munster.

But she is scarier than 'grampa' because she works for a criminal central banking mafia controlled by foreign enemies hell-bent on destroying our economy."

If your going to trade it you might want to be ready at 1.30 when the text of the speech is given out.

Well this is the mother of all shakeouts to get rid of longs before the up move or this story has spooked the markets.

The Russians won't give up Crimea to a unknown Ukraine government, ie it's Black sea fleet is there, and America has it's nose in as usual.

I'll be going for that and pair with dow if it goes wrong - ftse traded weak vs dow on the drop so due to show some strength (maybe )

paired it when it hit the low again and went and did some gardening - just back and took 15x2 - ftse traded nice and strong. Back to the garden

from jeffrey saut (feb 20)

“Up Mornings and Down Afternoons”
Up mornings and down afternoons do not make for particularly good
stock market action. And, that was the pattern of the D-J industrial
Average (INDU/16040.56) yesterday as the senior index opened
modestly higher and then built on that early strength to gain nearly
100 points during the first hour of trading. Interestingly, however,
the NASDAQ Composite Index (COMP/4237.95) never did turn
positive despite the Dow Delight, which should have served as some
kind of “red flag” for the day-trading crowd.

Dow almost back to unch, but downswing will hurt bullish sentiment

1845 should works as level

very hard for ftse to close lower today, 6794 currently (-5)

only 15 adrift now.

something happened, bund/ustrez rallied hard at 7am.

1845 was good level. low of 1832.75 . about 45 ftse points drop.

we getting weird price action. might be people trading double top in sp500 cash, versus overall neutral index
