RIMM looks ready for a next leg up, ....
http://www.grumpstump.com/squidoo/ingenuity-11875.jpg
well..it's still looking strong
Ego can be a good or bad thing...
depends if I have it in check or not.
I've watched your honesty... admirable trait
It's tough being wrong but if we can...
eat it and log it, we can reflect back on it to learn from our mistakes.
...how to establish an idiot condor...
"...one has to own their mistakes...& owning your mistakes sometimes means that you shame yourself..."Jim Cramer just said that on his 1000th show...
...~BAC~ & ~FAS~...
yeah, still have those gaps to deal with...
...it could still bounce. Who knows?!!
VIX is trying to form a falling wedge
I'm willing to wait and find out:)
...you may be right after this afternoons action...markets not as bullish as it looked earlier...its still holding key levels though...
...lets see what this last hour brings...
I wouldn't count on it. We're working on a full moon and the big boy's
know statistically people do dumb reactionary things during it.
On the other hand maybe the last few falling days was it's precursor.
It's hard to ignore the weakness in financials xlf
also nearing the lower 60m Bbands... so who knows
staying short
man,something told me jump on that boat...this TARP news surely messes up the gap down I was expecting...
...combined with the uptick happenings,the whole market may explode...
TARP extended to life insurers. Huge runs coming and big opens. LNC, HIG, GNW to name a few.
VRAZ..yum,yum,yum nice board..boardmarked....em
well well well..time will tell ..
thanks for the highlighting 69'
that would be wonderfull if RIMM could climb some more ...
that would represent a huge Short & huge gains !
...~BAC~ ~RIMM~ ~AZO~...
~AZO~...gap down tomorrow...targeting calls @ 150???
...high probability play...
160 may calls...~AZOEL~ @6.5 x 6.70...should be much cheaper...
160 april calls...AZODL~ @2.50 x 2.60
...red beaming targeting ~RIMM~ for potential leg/n straddle scalp tomorrow or soon...big move coming...quite possibly a continuation of the uptrend...
...~RIMM~ 3-day candle pattern = BEAST.$...
...Day 1...Huge Gap...
...2...Engulfing Bull...
...3...Inside Day on low volume...
...4...???
A: possible double bottom w/out a handle breakout...
or
B: possible failed breakout
...interesting T/A indeed...I'll be watching...

April Feeder cattle closed higher on Monday as it extends the rally off February's low. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If April extends the rally, February's high crossing at 98.20 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-
day moving average crossing at 93.25 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. _____________________________________________________________________

The Weekly Report For April 6th - April 10th, 2009
April 5, 2009- Market Summary
The rally that we have been experiencing since seeing the March lows continued this week, setting new pivot highs in all four major indexes. With all indexes now trading above their 50-day moving averages, it seems that, at least in the short term, we are seeing a stong turnaround in investor sentiment. Now up more than 20% from our lows, we are in a new bull market according to the boiler-plate definition.
All four indexes are still far off of their 200-day moving averages, so from a longer-term perspective the trend is still down. It will be interesting to see what happens as the Dow, Russell 2000 and S&P 500 approach significant resistance in the future. If these indexes manage to break through these influential levels, we may see a further upwards movement towards their moving averages. If not, then the legs may fall off this rally, which could turn out to be a bear market rally. Traders looking to get long in this market may wish to do so, but be ready to take profits as the Dow approaches the 8300 level. Levels to watch for in the S&P and Russell are 875 and 475, respectively. (To learn more about levels of resistance, be sure to check out the Support And Resistance section or our Technical Analysis Tutorial.)
The Nasdaq 100 had a great rally this week, gapping up sharply through a significant resistance level. Nasdaq traders may wish to continue their long positions up towards the 200-day moving average.

Lincoln Financial Group Pays $500 Million Debt Maturity
Tuesday April 7, 2009, 8:41 am EDT
Also Plans To Repay $200 Million of Commercial Paper As it Matures
PHILADELPHIA, April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC - News) today announced that it has repaid a $500 million debt maturity and plans to repay $200 million of commercial paper as it matures over the next several weeks. The source of funds for the debt repayment includes a $400 million ordinary cash dividend from The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company and a $300 million dividend from the company's principal reinsurance subsidiary.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050830/LFLOGO )
After these actions, short-term debt at the holding company will be reduced to approximately $450 million, a level at or below prior years. Lincoln expects to meet the holding company's ongoing cash needs with a combination of commercial paper as available and a contractual inter-company borrowing facility of up to $1 billion. The company also has access to $1 billion in bank credit lines, none of which are currently drawn. The company expects available holding company borrowing sources, combined with savings from the previously announced dividend cuts, will satisfy reduced holding company cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Dennis R. Glass, Lincoln's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We continue to prudently and actively manage our liquidity and capital positions. With the repayment of this $500 million in maturing debt and planned repayment of $200 million in commercial paper, we are reducing leverage and significantly improving our financial flexibility at the holding company. The combination of strengthened holding company liquidity and well-capitalized insurance subsidiaries positions Lincoln to move forward in a difficult environment."
The company has also taken steps to protect and build capital at the insurance company subsidiaries. These actions include a recent reinsurance transaction that provided approximately $240 million of statutory capital for Lincoln's primary insurance subsidiary and an enterprise-wide restructuring program that is expected to generate $250 million in annual run-rate savings before taxes. Further actions, including reinsurance transactions, securitizations, and possible asset sales, will be focused on continuing to strengthen Lincoln's already well-capitalized insurance businesses.
Lincoln Financial Group is the marketing name for Lincoln National Corporation (NYSE: LNC - News) and its affiliates. With headquarters in the Philadelphia region, the companies of Lincoln Financial Group had assets under management of $178 billion as of December 31, 2008. Through its affiliated companies, Lincoln Financial Group offers: annuities; life, group life and disability insurance; 401(k) and 403(b) plans; savings plans; mutual funds; managed accounts; institutional investments; and comprehensive financial planning and advisory services. Affiliates also include: Delaware Investments, the marketing name for Delaware Management Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries; and Lincoln UK.

good morning Tony,they are declaring an ex-dividend date of april 7th(tomorrow)...that means in order to receive the .01 dividend,one must purchase the ~LNC~ shares before that date...
the dividend will actually be paid on may 1st...the ex-dividend date declared is simply a way for the company to determine which shareholders get the dividend...all share-holders that buy in tomorrow or later,will not get the dividend...
hope that helps you...chart looks decent...

...surrender to ~FAZ~...cash for now...
...plenty of fish in the sea...plenty of time...
...market getting interesting...
...~XLF~ staged a breakout friday,suggesting higher prices...
...may get a round two ~AZO~ put opportunity...puts on target again with the help of a few more up days...
...trying to catch a falling knife is exactly what not to do...
closed the options yesterday atleast...
...Im hoping that ~XLF~ doesnt break out from current levels...
...add 9 ~FAYDD~ @ 5.70 total of 11 now...
current position:
300 ~FAZ~ @ 19.45
11 ~FAYDD~ ave@5.507
Initial Basis = $11,885...
...I smell a beautiful gap-n-trap today...
...I'm hoping to close @ LOD with ~XLF~ leading the way...
...someones going to get suckered today...LOL,(may be me)
...looking for ~XLF~ to test/break it's 45 angle...admittedly,there is very strong possibility of support here above the 45...time will tell it...gl
...a lesson in greed...
~FAZ~...position summary...
~FAZ~ 19.45-24.64 = +26.68% - still open
~FAYDD~ 4.60-7.20 = +56.52% - still open
...some may view my action(or inaction) to sell ~FAZ~ as greedy...they are probably right...my main reason for holding is the multiple weaknesses that I see on the daily ~XLF~...as long as ~XLF~'s stochastics are going down,I'll most likely continue holding...IMO,there seems to be plenty of room left on the downside...tomorrow could possibly birth a huge rally...that is the risk that I am willing to take with respect for stochastics...
...I have my target set @ 35,which is subject to change...we all know how animalistic ~FAZ~ is...
...interesting...~$VBX~ $ ~$XII~
Maybe the possible irregular wave count took place in this 4 (Nov-Jan) I have no idea if this ewave count is correct...
but the recent wave 4 breach of wave 1 doesn't sit well with me and shouldn't be ignored.
If we look back at wave 4 (Nov-Jan)...
...I have a hard time counting and trading 4's but when something is clearly violated we must look back.
Can you count 4's... could this be correct?
Live #msg-36658668 VIX is also trying to breakout of the falling trend line and now has a huge gap under we can all mull over.
Could be a whopper of a 3of5 coming. I guess time will tell.
6mo VIX
~FAYDD~'s up nicely today(19 days to decide)...debating whether or not to sell shares @ 27-28...
...watching keno yesterday...44 was a hot #...it may take a strong stomach to hold ~FAZ~ that long...haven't decided...
...NYSE keeps shutting down today (per IB) then coming back online...could get ugly fast this week...waiting for volume to kick in...
in ~FAZ~ 300 @ 19.45 for the potential scalp/swing...
~FSYS~...interesting
watcher....looks like possible wave 4 rally unfolding...
~AZO~ ...when Technical Analysis Strategies CLASH...
After some Elliott analysis,we may witness a climatic top coming,which could send ~AZO~ much higher...
Pitchfork,stochastics,& trendline analysis reveals a different story(on multiple time frames)...this analysis has me currently targeting puts...cautiously of course...
~AZO~ appears to be running out of gas...I especially like the low volume tell in the last two sizable up days...

Get Ready for Credit Card Hell
By Morgan Housel
March 18, 2009
http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2009/03/18/get-ready-for-credit-card-hell.aspx
So, the shadow banking system is blown to smithereens, mortgages have been gutted, and the credit default swap market is up in smoke. What's left to purge out of the financials system?
Easy. Credit cards.
And by purge, I really mean purge. Credit card companies aren't just sitting back and absorbing losses, but frantically slashing existing credit lines in a last-ditch effort to take the risk off their balance sheets.
Meredith Whitney -- who in December predicted existing credit lines would be cut by $2 trillion, or 45% of the total -- has already upped her estimate to $2.7 trillion. That essentially means 60% of all credit card lines could evaporate by the end of 2010. Bye-bye to 60% of the total dollar amount of extended credit.
The cuts mean two things for the industry. First, it's proof positive that lending standards were waaaay out of control in recent years. Card issuers offered credit at levels that could make some subprime mortgage shops look conservative. If you had a heartbeat and a mailbox, you qualified for about as much money as you could ask for.
But those glory days are coming back to haunt the industry in a big way. Charge-off rates are blowing through the roof. (Charge-offs are loans that banks write off because they don't think they'll be able to collect on them.) That isn't a shocker, but the speed at which things are deteriorating is.
For example, here's how net charge-offs at the biggest card companies looked over the past three years:
Company 2008 2007 2006 AXP 5.5% 3.5% 3.3% C 6.9% 4.3% 4.0% Capital One 6.3% 4.0% 3.1% BAC 6.7% 4.9% 3.8% JPM 5.0% 3.7% 3.3% DFS 5.0% 3.8% 4.0%
A big increase from 2007 to 2008, which was to be expected. But look at how much worse the most recent numbers are for a couple of card giants we have data for:
Company
February 2009 Charge-off Rate (annualized)
American Express
8.70%
JPMorgan Chase
6.35%
Data from Capital IQ (a division of Standard & Poor's) and SEC filings.
The default rates at Citigroup and Capital One both steadily approached 10% in February as well. Things are getting ugly quickly. Some analysts think average charge-offs could hit 9% to 10% this year, meaning the increase in defaults that sent card stocks tumbling in the past several months could be just a taste of things to come.
But that isn't even the worst of it
The second, and most important, implication of slashing existing card lines is the impact it could have on card processors Visa (NYSE: V) and MasterCard (NYSE: MA) -- companies that don't take credit risk, but instead make money on each transaction.
The two have been riding a global shift of consumers switching to a cashless society. Their growth potential is huge, the story goes, and investors accordingly bid up shares to multiples that leave little room for error. Even in this market, Visa trades at more than 20 times the estimates for its 2009 earnings per share; MasterCard at about 16 times. While the shares of both have plunged since last summer, the companies are still valued on the assumption that plastic transactions will grow by leaps and bounds indefinitely.
But now that a full 60% of credit lines could go up in smoke, you have to ask how feasible those growth assumptions really are. No, a 60% cut in existing credit lines obviously won't translate to a 60% drop in credit transactions, and plenty of transactions could simply shift from credit to debit. But it will have an impact on the group of consumers whose credit card is their sole means of survival during an unemployment spell -- a group whose ranks are growing by the minute. Factor in a negative savings rate during the boom years, and the amount of consumers who thought a credit card counted as an emergency fund is probably larger than we'd like to think.
Bottom line
Full-service card companies like American Express and Discover already trade like the world is coming to an end -- which it may be -- but Visa and MasterCard are two that could really get creamed if the shift from paper to plastic starts to slow. These are both great companies that have a stranglehold on the industry, but it's dangerous to assume business will flourish indefinitely while the industry as a whole is being flipped on its head.
