this is why mkt tanking BUNDS: Mar Bunds reverses losses following sharp sell-off in
Xetra-DAX index in last few minutes. Traders attribute the move
to earlier announcement from German financial watchdog Bafin, wh
o has asked two banks to simulate a split "according to the Liik

t in Boersenzeitung.

good article

Last week, the S&P 500 advanced the extra 1% required to re-establish virtually every “overvalued, overbought, overbullish, rising-yields” syndrome that we define – syndromes that have appeared at or close to the beginning of what investors can easily recall as the singularly worst set of market instances in history, including the 1973-74, 1987, 2000-2002, and 2007-2009 plunges. With some minor imputation (estimating bullish and bearish sentiment as a function of the extent and volatility of prior market movement), we can verify that these syndromes also emerged just prior to the 1929-1932 collapse.

The S&P 500 is presently near or through its Bollinger band (2 standard deviations above its 20-period moving average) at daily, weekly and monthly resolutions, the Shiller P/E (S&P 500 divided by the 10-year average of inflation-adjusted earnings) is above 22, Investors Intelligence reports lopsided sentiment at 53.2% bulls versus 22.3% bears, the S&P 500 is well into a mature bull market and Treasury bond yields have advanced measurably.

Hi guys, very busy with meetings all morning, didn' have access and missed the bottom at 09:00
Just now closed my short at breakeven, instead of hedging with long.
Will wait later today how it develops for any further moves.

Well, I didn't had any hit with trading, but with this I am sitting very comfortably (to quote Livermore) as I wrote here a couple of months ago.

 

[barjon]

the 15:00 strikes - be a surprise to see high challenged today, but never can tell with this market.

 

[SuddenDeath]

market is strange dow sitting at year highs and the cost of hedging is at 5 year lows, what is this telling us?

 

[Dick Lexic]
