Our bullish friends, those corporate welfare queens who don’t have a decent bone in their body (unless they get lucky with Grindr) are having a rare bad day.

Well, yeah, now I’m missing every single one of those EWZ puts. I thought I’d get cute, so yesterday I dumped 40% of them in the hope of a bounce, but, umm, it’s a REALLY good pattern, and this bad boy just keeps plunging. Viva Brazil!

In my post yesterday I was looking at the possible bull flag setups on SPX, DIA and IWM, and today of course we have FOMC.
Those flags all ended yesterday on an encouraging note but overall this very much looks like an inflection point as we are coming into FOMC and it may well be that FOMC today determines the direction of the break from this.
(more…)Good morning, everyone. I got a late start, waiting up at 7 a.m., a half hour into the trading day. It’s been literally years since that has happened. I’ll just do a brief post now to say that NVDA is up strong (over 4%), which I think is a fake-out. My view is that this top has been complete and this sucker is going to roll over. You know how Fed days are – – murky until the press conference is through.
