Levels To Watch
As we head into the close, we have a chance to inflict some serious, technical damage upon the Evil Empire. In silver, a close above the intraday high from 3/7/11 would be very bullish short term. In gold, a new closing high above 1438 will generate headlines. A close above the intraday high of 1445.70, also from 3/7/11, would generate a lot of new buying tomorrow. Watch these levels closely and with fingers crossed. More this afternoon, after the close. TF

ReplyDeleteNew all time high of $1439.50 London PM fix.
Hey Nadler, what do you think now?
Gold Bitchez.
Bay of Pigs
Turd,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure my obsession with your website, charts, and chat have caused my work quality to drop. Fortunately for me I'm a mortgage loan officer and new housing sales suck.
Keep up the great work, and I will keep hitting refresh button like junkie.
Cheers.
Seriously, i love the sharpies. It gives so much personality to the analysis. Never stop doing that.
ReplyDeleteSave the papers and rack 'em in a folder somewhere. That paper will be worth more than the fiat paper one day. ;)
Oh, also. Any ideas on what to expect for the rest of the week with 28:th looming? What levels to get in on this action for example?
ReplyDeleteEveryone try and come up with your best anagram of 'Blythe Masters':
ReplyDelete"Lets me by trash" (missing a 'u')
Turd,
ReplyDeleteHave you factored in slv and gld seasonality into your daily comments? Both seem to peak at the end of March, fall dramatically in April, and recover into June. Just wondering.

ReplyDeletewhat a day
ReplyDeleteall we need now is gold to confirm, then it's to mars.
ReplyDeleteI know it's too early to call this a day, but until now, and just for the time being, Im loving BM (for letting the thing move up and not interfering) maybe she's giving us a gift from her b-day, for keep booing her all yr long

ReplyDeleteI tied to skim the last thread comments to see whats going on... I start skimming with silver at 36.80 I finish and its at 37.17, glued to the screen....
ReplyDelete37.15 versus Gold Silver Ratio at 38.75.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to cross...
@ XTY... love to see BM walk the plank, when JD gives her the boot.
ReplyDeletePaul - it is nuts. And lots of quick humour too. But wow, just wow. Even though we sort of expected it.
ReplyDeletehow many ounces need to settle by next week?

ReplyDelete87 contracts "delivered" (probably to JPM vaults) today, about 4 million ounces left
ReplyDeleteShe Bet Smartly ...
ReplyDeleteNOT!
BM and shorts bitchslapped
ReplyDeleteI've love to see somebody drop in a couple thousand contracts on market buy. Might just blow the roof off.
ReplyDeleteI had posted about my real estate experience in the last thread because I wanted to highlight how cheap farm land is some areas. It is quite possible for people in urban areas of central Canada to sell and reinvest in farmland and e debt free. Once on farmland there is the opportunity to achieve self sufficiency in heat, electrical energy, and if really crafty about it, liquid energy as well. Food security becomes a reality also.
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian tax system is regressive and geared toward consumption taxes. The tax code provides ample incentives for registered farms to avoid most taxation.
Anybody noticed anything from that exercise ??

ReplyDeleteOK, hate to pee in everybodys Cornflakes, but this is bordering on scary.
ReplyDeleteAnybody interested in calling a support level for Friday?
Anybody thinking about a massive selloff then?
I'm preparing to do my first S/G swap
@Eric regarding Lexam
ReplyDeleteI got a letter in December from Lexam advising about the merger with Lexam VG. I had forgotten
I had 84 shares of Lexam since 1994, a spinoff deal from Goldcorp if I remember right.(been holding GG since the 80's) Anyway, I've got to send in these shares and get 2.1 shares of Lexam VG for each Lexam. Looks like I'm in on LexamVG for 176 shares. Maybe it pans out, I had thought they were worthless.
Sinclair always sells into strength...and he's got lots of shares. He'll put em back in on weakness. Just my guess.
ReplyDeleteI wish gold would hurry up and follow suit. $1445 gold and I'll probably let everything ride over night.
ReplyDelete$37.20 bitchez!!
ReplyDeleteMore soapbox rant,
ReplyDeleteOur goal here is to live and work outside the current financial system (no bank, no credit card, no debt), outside the tax system (keep income low, be self sufficient in food and energy, position ourselves to maximize tax advantage and minimize gov interference.
Mrs. Martel is working on reviving local food production and distribution systems in our community. The old folks love us as they see us expounding on their way of life from days of yore. The younger folk think we're freaks (and we are).
I'd say there are some shorts that slowly giving up some very painful positions right now.
ReplyDeletelast of rant,
ReplyDeleteThink about how you want the world to look if we are successful at toppling the current structure.
I see too many people who "get it", but are using their knowledge to try to position themselves to continue with life as usual after the end of the current paradigm.
I don't think that's gonna work out too well.

ReplyDeleteLook at the g/s ratio!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I unloaded 2/3 of my position yesterday ... started thinking there was too much irrational exuberance going on -- all the tin-foil hat talk, those two homos, kid dynamite and brian o'flanagan, etc. got to me. Cost me tens of thousands of dollars.
Note to self: listen to Turd. Ignore anyone who tries to make you feel stupid for believing this market is totally rigged and silver is very scarce.
Marcel,
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you though. Under the current status quo the purchase of a new home through a mortgage lender requires so many proofs of deposits, bank accounts, reserves etc...obviously one can purchase a house for cash. How do you see this changing in the future, if you do.
I'm in the lending business (yes, I know I'm part of the problem that is sinking this ship, But at least I'm not in the military anymore).
In my opinion, looking to swap silver for gold is premature until at least $80/oz at today's dollar. There's nothing wrong with doing so, as both will rise, but silver's percentage gain will be much more than gold's. Besides, why would you hurt your return by a few percentage points by doing so at this time?
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear folks getting scared here I just sit back and grin. That's a really good sign actually! Wake me up when this rocket hits $100 late this year early next.

Euro stinking it up. XAG/EUR would of made most fait today. Oh well :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya' on the gold swap. Friday's are unusually strong on the but side. With the ratio tightening, thinkin' of moving 50% physical into gold. I don't think this is the end of the world yet and think I will have a chance to switch back at a more favorable ratio. If not, at least I'll still be exposed to metal.
ReplyDeleteNow what? shorting ?
ReplyDeleteAnd sure enough, that Lexam that I bought this morning is the only one on my list that ain't doing squat. figures....
ReplyDeleteMarcel .... More soapbox rant
ReplyDeleteLuv to hear that someone is doing what I am ... working to not feed the EE ... cudo's
If JPM gets to deliver to their own vaults, and then make everyone stand in line to get their silver for 10 years, won't this send the price of comex silver futures down towards $0 ?
ReplyDeleteIf JPM is allowed to do this, doesn't that mean that sure - the Comex fraud blows up, but JPM gets away and those standing for delivery gets screwed?
Best to own miners, and not futures contracts at this stage ....
From last thread, Buy side not But side.
ReplyDeleteOk so I just read that story about EXK on the previous thread. Hmm, I have been involved in companies that when they announce takeover bids their share price falls. I don't know if this has been discussed as I don't have time to read through all of the 200 comments but what are your thoughts Turd and anyone else on what impact this could have?
ReplyDeleteNed,
ReplyDeleteI don't need to defend K.D. as he's a big boy and can take care of himself, but he's VERY bullish silver and you've completely misunderstood his point. So he is making A LOT of money today with SLV and you got scared and cashed out yesterday.
Don't seek to place blame on someone else who is on the right side of this trade, but with a viewpoint you may not agree with. K.D. is a nice guy if you'd take a minute to send him an email, but I understand the catharsis that only misplaced blame can provide. Do as you will.

Pailin- You nailed it. Imagine being a big short who has been riding a position for only 2 months, since January- you are now down TEN DOLLARS PER OZ! 27.25 to 37.25 in eight short weeks. If / when panic sets in, we might finally see those happy, magical words "disorderly to the upside".
ReplyDeleteI love trading a raging bull market. When you are right, you are very right. When you are wrong, relax- you will be right soon enough.

ReplyDeleteAt its most basic, all that's required to complete a RE transaction is buyer and seller to agree on terms, each hire a lawyer to make sure terms are followed and deed is properly transferred and recorded at end of transaction.

Marcel,
ReplyDeleteRight...if you have cash to purchase the house.
If you need to borrow money that is not the case. An ethical form of lending and borrowing must be established that isn't ensconsed in red tape and regulated by the fed/gov't.
So.. who bought the dip? Bought the dip from 36,75 to 35,6, then again at 34,0.
ReplyDeleteFor all the others that came late yet again: you can't time these markets. Go long, and re-invest profits on dips. ANY dip however small is a buying opportunity.
If you try to time these markets, all you'll ever accomplish is to feed the HFT algos.
matt,
ReplyDeleteIMO share price of EXK is soft because of the dwindling resources. I'm not concerned about this though as it is a common occurrence for underground mines. Defining new resources gets in the way of current operations.
Note Cooke gave figures for '11 drilling program. They will increase reserves!
I posted this yesterday, but I think maybe some may have missed it.I thought it was worth posting again.
ReplyDelete""Until now, JP Morgan did not have a NYMEX/COMEX vault license. They had to send silver, for example, to HSBC, Brinks, Scotia Mocatta and/or the Delaware Depository in order to "deliver" it on COMEX. Those vaults have been NYMEX/COMEX licensed for a very long time. But now J.P. Morgan has its own vault license, and the manner in which it seems to have obtained it, is troubling. The bank can now, potentially, deliver short obligations to itself. Yes, you read that correctly. The bank itself, if it still holds short silver positions, and/or the hedge funds/related financial institutions who may have taken over the positions, can now deliver the alleged metal to J.P. Morgan's own vault.""

ReplyDeletePining - wouldn't 'disorderly to the upside' be a good punk song title? or description of an excellent party.
ReplyDeleteFolks,
ReplyDeleteI believe Marcel is absolutely right.
You need to simplify your life.
You may be wealthy with your fiat, but when it crashes, look out.
Get physical silver and gold.
Get multiple sources of food (grow it), water and heat.
Use your fiat NOW to pay off debt NOW. Don't think for a moment the EE will let you off the hook if hyperinflation happens. Just look at he widespread mortgage fraud that is not being prosecuted and Morgan's fast approval for PM storage. THEY WILL CHANGE THE RULES ON YOU! I could see a new national law indexing current debt to a government bullshit index like the CPI. Your payments will go up, but will your income?
@F
ReplyDeleteOh goody, more lawsuits against the JP Morgue!
Marcel, Chin Music, Agophillic, there are more of us ‘aware’ folks than the PTB realize. Here on the west side of Puget Sound we have a hydro generator feeding off the stream running across our property. Bought the adjacent 2½ acres (lawyer, NOT a RE agent handled the transaction); now renting out the horse barn on it and am putting in a cheap repo’d mobile as a rental. Positive cash flow from all this.
ReplyDeleteAccumulating stacks of physical PM’s is great, but supplementing this with self-sufficiency skills & alternate income streams helps broaden the base.

Markus - I think I remember you catching 34. When we were younger ...
ReplyDeleteIn my miner portfolio I'm noticing a shift into money flow additions going into the big miners, while small producers declining money flows/price. Maybe the big boys/HUI are finally going to play catch up, I think we'll know for sure if the HUI can break through 580 by Friday. Yesterday, volume doubled the average on the upside in many of my big miners, possibly front running a bigger move up in spot gold.
ReplyDeleteBtw volume is pretty low. Seems JPM and gang just don't want to supply shorts anymore into this advance, not even a couple of hundreds or thousands.
ReplyDeleteWinter Benton got her $37 in March...hmmmmmmm!

ReplyDelete"Jack said...
ReplyDelete37.15 versus Gold Silver Ratio at 38.75.
We are going to cross..."
Ratio will go to 1:1 or even drop below it sooner or later. There is less above ground silver in the world than gold, there is more demand than supply, and most of silver is used in industrial applications from which it will never be recovered while pretty much all gold ever mined is still sitting somewhere in coin or bar or jewellery form so that's a condition that will not change.
That not saying that the gold price won't go to 5 digits or higher.
The best recommendation I can give to anyone is, hold on to your silver, no matter how blown out of your mind you will be how far the price has advanced and how great a selling opportunity you think this will be. USGS shows that silver mining production will run out in 15-30 years, meaning NO NEW SILVER, while demand is steadily increasing. How high do you think the price will be then?
Marcel
ReplyDeleteMy mother was from Bathurst NB .... spent many a summer there as a lad .... have many, many relatives still there .... good people .... aaaahhhh the memories
agophillic,
ReplyDeleteAgreed. how much equity do folks have built up in large metro areas in Canada? Seems that selling a place for $500K should liberate some $$ for most folks.
Our place is 60 acres, house, barn, 2 car garage and small orchard for. . . $72K. The key in what I'm trying to convey is change your perceptions and expectations. Once changed the world opens up a wealth of new opportunities.
Living here has freed us from "needing" a whole bunch of stuff that is needed for city life.
We have no mtge, prop taxes less than $1k, our heat is free, our electricity $50/ month, food bill cut in half. Way lower entertainment cost as there is nowhere to go out. I'm working on getting electric bill to $0 and have a plan to produce our own liquid fuels for transportation.
Bix Weir and the Stansberry guy are 2 prime examples that you make more $ giving advice than you do taking it. Fear sells. Just my opinion.

ReplyDeleteSprott Physical Silver Premium To NAV Hits Fresh All Time High
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/23/2011 10:33 -0400
Eric Sprott Exchange Traded Fund
Several days ago there were a few rather amusing anecdotes in the blogosphere that just because Sprott filed a selling shareholder shelf in PSLV, the ETF was about to crash and burn. What was not disclosed is that in 2011 there have been about 200 comparable shelves filed for public companies, yet nobody called for the imminent anihilation of 40% of the S&P. Stunningly, just because someone requests the right to sell an asset they own when said asset is trading at all time highs, apparently does not mean they intent to exercise said right. To wit: the premium to NAV for the Eric Sprott physical silver ETF just hit an all time record of 23%. We are confident that this is due to JPMorgan being massively long the metal, and also because anywhere one walks these days, physical silver lying on the ground is more prevalent than dog excrement. Also, those who decided to play the premium-NAV compression trade, are advised to promptly close it unless, of course, they are a TBTF bank.

captainkipp,
ReplyDeleteregular ASEs are fine. You'll probably be selling them at spot when it comes time so why pay a premium for supposed numismatic value.
Downside to all this price action -- I don't dare look at what a 100oz Engelhard is at Provident right now, will break my heart.
ReplyDeleteIm no expert Captain kid, but the only thing rare'er than a rare coin, is a rare coin buyer.
ReplyDeleteThey're harder to liquidate.But I suppose a few could be worth worth it. You can sell bullion anytime quickly.
thats just my take on it ,
SLW pivot point today is 43.95 with 1st level of resistance at 45.19 according to pivot point theory (in my head I'm using 44.00 and 45.20) Currently SLW was pulled back to a recent low of 44.20 between the pivot 1st level of resistance. I'm thinking that I may add to my long position at 43.20 since SLW is still 2 points below it's March 7 high of 46.38 and at that time silver hit a high or nearly 36. If anyone has any additional insight on how to time trades in an out of SLW I'm all ears. : )
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm using long ITM options
You can sell bullion anytime quickly.
ReplyDelete-----------
Soon the sheeple will be gnawing for it...but not yet.
Stephen -
ReplyDeleteI track the spread btw SLW and SLV. At Turd's bottom, and again just the other day, SLW had dropped by almost 25% more than SLV. At its last local max, SLW had outgained SLV by almost 50% more than its previous local min. Here's hopin' the trend continues!
This is my definition of a great day. Both Au and Ag UP in the face of a rising POSX!!

Wow! Radiation covering almost entirety of northern hemisphere!
May be time to bug out, as in to the South America. And I was so happy when spring hit.
USDX going up. Silver goes to $37. USDX trading down trend long term, so it's going to correct. Silver $38 is guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteJust rereading my post . . . I should add that I am thinking it will not drop all the way back to 44.00 with all the action in silver today but I am usually wrong trying to figure out how SLW moves relative to silver price. SLW always seems to zig when I zag which means it's hard to time entries and exits for swing trading.
ReplyDeleteCopper once again led the day for the metals.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a single SAE Proof and intend on purchasing both the GAE and Buffalo Proofs and the Platinum Proof just for shits and giggles! They are truly beautiful coins. I don't plan on ever selling them. I wouldn't buy numismatic graded coins, though some people swear buy them!

ReplyDeletehttp://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/
his feeling is that hedge funds are covering their spread trades (long metals/short miners)
TY Letey . . . seems odd that SLW is $2 lower right now compared to when silver was under 36. You're right that SLW is leveraged compared to SLV and that undoubtedly is related to the observation I'm making. Somehow the hedge funds move the price around a lot and I am slowly getting wiser about my trade timing.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to you my friend.
Pretium.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at my etrade account, I knew I should have sold in the AM.
@xty
ReplyDeleteI think 'disorderly on the upside' would make great underwears ! ;-)
Seconded, Petey, and well said.
ReplyDeleteBest time to long SLW is when it's trend is down and silver flat. Usually happens in the AM. I traded it a couple last week on this. They knock out the stops as a tell for the upmove.
ReplyDeleteThen again, anytime between now and 3/28 probably be a good long.
You're fine malcolm, just a little dilution...if you have cash to burn it may be a great buying opp over the next day or two

ReplyDeleteStephen,
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that SLW is a stock and sometimes doesn't act like silver.
As long as guys think silver is going to $45 you have no problem with SLW.
I'm playing it via call spreads.
Brian O'Flanagan,
ReplyDeleteCrushed? At $37.27 spot and PSLV 18.04, the premium is 23.75%. (and changing every second, but still way up)
@xtybacq - problem with mine is by the time you print the shirts, silver may be well above $40
ReplyDeletethe idea of t-shirts is a good one that could help get the message out to those who still believe gold and silver are barbarous relics

@Pick52,
ReplyDeleteI'm long, but I swore to myself that I would try a new strategy. I have noticed that the highs are reached at around 11 to 12:30 each day and to take profits @ over 30%.
Personally, I highly doubt Mr Sprott would ruin his career and reputation over this particular issue. Makes no sense to me anyway. But if you don't like PSLV, or have issues with it, then don't buy it. Try CEF or something else. Better yet, buy your own silver.
ReplyDeletejust a few minutes ago PSLV was just the lows of the day while silver was at the highs.

Bought PSLV last week on dip for $15. Laugh when the premium guys start trashing it. It's outperformed SLV every single day I've owned it.
ReplyDeleteHere's what today looks like a minute or so ago...
PSLV
Sprott Physical Silver T...18.03
Real-Time +3.68%
SLV
iShares Silver Trust 36.41

who's getting crushed?
ReplyDeletePSLV vs SLV

Looks like Silver will gap up tomorrow. Very strong and hitting highs of the day :-)

ReplyDeleteHey guys. Can anyone recommend a good coin shop in or around Raleigh NC?
===
Hey there, I'm around the Holly Springs area and the only one I've tried calling is a smaller shop by US1 and 55. Guy said he had no silver (this was a month ago and I never called him back). Apex Coins and Currency (919) 387-4544.
Google search has a few more around so I might try calling them. If you stumble onto anything in your searches, mind if you send me an email? thecoloredsky@gmail.com
How do you figure? I see PSLV last @ 18.08, flat during pre market @ 17.15, opened 17.45ish. Maybe I missed something?
ReplyDeletesorry folks -was looking at gold/phys not silver/pslv

WATCH OUT! As of 3:00 PM, volume is rising sharply! Is this the beginning of the day's bear raid?

ReplyDeleteI picked up an extra contract just after market close. Turning out to be a good idea.
(I don't post the times I do that and it turns out to be a bad idea.)
JE. . . I'm expecting a gap up tomorrow morning at the open . . . I'm just trying to take advantage of what looks like a ride up to 38.50 silver. Looks like that could happen very quickly perhaps by market open tomorrow . . . seems the shorts have lost control of silver for the time being.
ReplyDeleteSLW never quite got back down to 44.20 the second time and I didn't buy until 44.55 just before the pop to 44.80. Resistance is just overhead at 45.15 -45.20.

ReplyDeleteTurd called it, if we broke through intra-day high then $37.25. And here we are and have been for a while. There's got to be a sneaky raid coming on before 5 or early am, like 3 or 4.

if we dont do it here before 4pm, overnight globex will. Hit 38 that is. I doing a little buying here.
ReplyDeleteOH baby baby. I love me some SLW. But I really love me my GPL buys this morning.
ReplyDeleteEXK, meh. It's in the middle of the pack today. Why anyone sees Turd's linked article on EXK as near to mid-term positive is beyond me. I mean, have you ever owned a miner that announces an acquisition? Head for the hills. You're going to see weeks and months of downward pressure. And how will they pay for it? Sell more shares? Look at what happened to HL when they bought Green's Creek. You can expect dilution or preferred share selling short for years.
Speaking of the mighty Hecla, it's on a tear too. And I am selling into strength. God I hate HL. Even when I make money on HL I hate it. Worst stock ever.
And I have no idea what is up with TRE. But I bought a shit load today when it fell in the 6.30's.
Turd, I am your humble servant. You freaking nailed this. I looked at that chart pattern and squinted my eyes at the pattern. Took me thirty minutes to see it.
By the way Marcus, ain't margin a beautiful thing?

ReplyDeleteBaie De Chaleur!! Do your folks have Acadian roots then?
Bay of Warmth !! (had to look it up as my parents did not teach us French) I was the only immediate family member born in USA. My father was born and raised in Sturgeon Falls in the U.P. area ... both families have definite Acadian roots.
Here's a link to the news about Pretium.

I agree with pick52. Maybe a good buy opportunity. I bought this Feb 1 on Bob Chapman's recommendation -- he expects it to go much higher. I expect I'll continue to just sit on this long term.
Jump in and buy ITM calls. When market opens at 9:30 turn this into a vertical spread by selling ATM calls. Ride these until 10;00 and buy them back.
ReplyDeleteThis keeps you net long and profits from the 10:00 hammer. If you get nervous, just leave the spread on. You will still profit to upside. SLW great vehicle for options. Very liquid and volatile so premiums are Huge!
I do this on almost a daily basis. If the market does not pull back between 930-10 then I leave the spread on and add long calls just before 10. I usually buy these back around 10:30.
Is it common practice for a broker to charge commission twice on a GTC limit equity buy order if the order is only partially filled on day one and the rest gets filled on day two???
ReplyDeleteI think $1440 is the old $36 in silver to JPM. Gold just doesn't want to bust that point for some reason.

ReplyDeleteOn Ebay, woman, they actually auction off teeth with gold bridge work and fillngs as scrap. I wouldn't really be interested. BUT I did, between eBay and some odds and ends I had strewn around the house, get way over the 50 ozt that I need for my necklace/bracelete pieces. I guess I'll just have the jeweler return the excess to me in 99.9 pure.

ReplyDeleteyes
sasa . . . what kind of spreads are you using. The only spreads I've used much of are bull-call but the up-side short-term price of silver seems too unpredictable to me. I get the feeling silver could spike-up hard anytime and so far I have done well taking a simple long call and getting in and out between key levels of support and resistance.
ReplyDeleteTURD, anyone. Great discussion point on EXK, as I too am concerned in re: acquisition stock price impaCT?
ReplyDeleteOpinions?

ReplyDeleteThat bay gets its name because the warm gulf Stream wraps around the Gulf of St. Lawrence north of PEI and back down the eastern NB coast before heading off to Europe.
The beaches along Northumberland Strait (between PEI and NS) are the warmest north of the Carolinas. Water temps in summer around 68 to 70F!
Commissions really get fun when your short a buncha' contracts and they get exercised 1 at a time, on different days.
ReplyDeleteMust be the daily thing. If GTC fills at different times on the same day should be one commission.
Marcel,
ReplyDeleteHave been enjoying The Daily Bell for about 2 years now...great publication
i nearly forgot to mention . . . in and out with the help of Turd and his understanding of the market and his great communication skills. Thank you Turd.
ReplyDeleteAny info on today's silver CRIMEX deliveries?
ReplyDeleteAC
Pat,
ReplyDeleteEXK is debt free and cash flow positive. If they do an acquisition through cash from operations without issuing new shares, or borrowing, it will be very positive for the share price. I believe that is Cooke's intent.
I bet we see a lot of deliveries from today (posted tomorrow), thus the huge move when the dollar appreciated as well.

Marcel,
ReplyDeleteThanks- excellent points.
AC,
ReplyDelete$1444 is one of Jim Sinclair's "Angels". Honestly, I'm not 100% sure what this means other than it is a significant point. The next is $1531. I think it is in our best interest to figure out how to trade with Sinclair on this one.
Does anyone have a link for how Jim Sinclair plays these "Angels"? I can't find one that explains.
Hee Hee.
ReplyDeleteWe've been above 36 so long I almost forgot how long the battle dragged on. Now it's 37 in the rear view mirror.
JE,
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. First time it has happened to me. I've had plenty of trades that take all day to fill and pay a single commission. In the future, I think I'll stick to good for the day orders and re evaluate at the end of the day.
In this instance where 95% of the order filled in day one, I think I would have rather spent the 2nd commission buy a small stake in a lottery type play instead of on a few more shares of what I'd just bought.
I hate payin' "the Man"!
JE thank you for explaining that . . . essentially a bull call spread that I am familiar with.
ReplyDeleteSo you are selling the ATM at the open hoping to buy it back for less at 10 a.m. and if the price goes up instead ypu just leave the spread open. I always try to hold over night so I don't get day trader classification but sounds like it could work for me. I assume you are playing the front month?

ReplyDeleteYes, a bull call spread. Same delivery month also refereed to as vertical spread. Basically I put the short leg on when the market typically, but not always, goes down and take it off(so that I am simply long calls) when I anticipate the up move. Lately most of the down movement has been between 9:30 and 10.
Atlee,
ReplyDeletetks also.
I like this approach as opposed to just buying and selling calls because this way you are always long. Its just that sometimes you have ATM premium sold against your longs.
