Short Term Follow Up from Tues Channel Post
We printed a doji yesterday with a lower high and lower low. We did see a bounce off the R1 1405 area I mentioned yesterday.
My guess is today the Bulls will try to run it back up to the top of the channel early. My inclination is to short that as I don't think they have the firepower to break through R2 at 1431. I also see MACD rolling over as well as declining RSI
A stop will be placed 1433 in case I am wrong
My Young Comic’s Custard Cannon
I'm not sure if I've shared this one before, but this is a brilliant routine and illustrates the superb comic timing and delivery of Mr. Gottfried. This is definitely NSFW, and those of you in Kansas may not want to click the Play button.
Ms and Ws (by Springheel Jack)
There were a couple of developments yesterday that could be very important game-changers. The first from the Fed minutes is serious talk of implementing QE3 if the US economy continues to weaken, which seems likely. QE1 and QE2 both had a big impact on the equity and other markets and there's no reason to think that QE3 wouldn't have a big impact too.
The second was that the German representative on the ECB came out against the Bundesbank in favor of a European QE program that would buy up the bonds of troubled sovereigns as soon as the yields reached certain trigger thresholds.
