HONK if you think Elaine Garzarelli looks like Andre the Giant.
Zeev, how high would we have to climb for you to promulgate a coalescent interregnal peak?
a.
Sleepy. Sneezy. Dopey. Doc. Hey. Kids. BIG EMERGENCY. Need you to bookmark Larry's Plus 100 thread. Citizen Dudash is a great guy.

Post-lobotomy! I am in the right place! I had you on ignore! Larry, too! I am sorry! You always hurt the ones you love! Please don't sic the dog on me!
a.
AJTJ, I do not have anyone on ignore.
If you start at your header and scroll down the page, do you see any listings between posts 106 and 112, for example?
Sorry to bother you with this.
AJTJ, you are the owner of a slipshod Dudash Contruction-built property. The thread is impossible to follow.
Seriously, why are so many entries missing from the roster of posts?
A.
Are you not confident in your turn date?
aldaka
Zeev, can you project your Friday afternoon cash position?
aldaka
Zeev, do you continue to expect the market to accelerate to the downside next week? Do you see any positive divergences?
Rich, head for the hills? For how long?
Zeev, how long, how far should Wednesday's bounce carry?
a.
ajtj, thanks for a meaty post.
Thanks, Zeev.
And another thing: No one ever purchased a second tuxedo because he gained e-i-g-h-t whole pounds. What are you, some kind of nambypamby clotheshorse? Get your superannuated rear end on an exercise bike and quit ladling all that Russian dressing on your salads.
And another thing: Wal-Marting. Not Waltoning. Trust me. Go the accessible route.
And another thing: Have you ever noticed that the Prime Minister of Japan looks uncannily like Martin Short?
And another thing: There was this duck named Fup. Hell of a trader, Fup Duck was. Even in a bear market, he confined himself to the bright side. Fup, you see, was a farmer as well as a trader, but he was even better satisfied by his reknown as an entertainer. In Fup's system of values, a trading, farming, entertaining duck was judged by the purity of his turnips....
I reiterate, it is a fine line between celebration and calumny.
Salud,

Zeev, when you reiterate a "to the hills," does this mean that your model has produced a reading equal to or greater than that which precipitated the original call? And since you DID jump the gun back in January (vbg), do you have a reading which is both firm and sufficient?
aldaka
A while back you stated your belief that the demise of the space shuttle was the result of sabotage. One. Mississippi. Two. Mississippi. Three. Who was the culprit?

wahz/others, your thoughts on a war rally?

Don Zeevowitz, congratulations on this the merry occasion of your daughter's nuptials. You must be very duly proud. The Good Lord, Himself a man of honor, has blessed us with a sunshiny day, a time to stop and sniff your own carnation. This day is your living reward, Godfather. I tell you, that band, they played the 'Ava Nagila song better than it sounds at Yankee Stadium. The bartender did not card my date. And those little cocktail frankfurters with the crust? Freaking Jeno should move in on the action. Primo Carnera, even without sauce. You throw one heckuva party, Don Zeevie. And may I say, let me add, you look perfectly dapper in your tuxedo. Don't worry about the pillowcase. Don't worry about a thing. Marco Barzini has answered his last RSVP. Salud, Godfather.
mlsoft, you must follow the COTs. Can you explain the schisms between the Commercials positions on the S&Ps and the minis and the NDXs and the minis?
a.
Zeev, with a firm close today, where would you set the ceiling for early next week?
A.
Newly, my two cents: Longer holds. Fewer trades. Stay net short. Observe the hoary rules of cash management. Don't try to keep up with the jonesing.
aldaka
Zeev, do you expect today's high, just over your 1,312 mark, to stand as the high for the week?
aldaka
Your map for the balance of the week?

Expecting The Unexpected, huh, mug? The Arthur left out the chapter on civil unrest. Muslims with pitchforks. Miss World ended worse than a Tyson fight. You gotta know stained glass is ghettin' busted. Can you say Crystalnacht in froggy?
aldaka
Don Zeeverino, that scungili Mark Elbaum sleeps with the fishes, yes?
When was the first time you heard the phrase weapons of mass destruction? Do scientist's use it, or was it coined by the same dopes who valued Internets by the eyeball?
a.
Zeev, how are you going to play this week's off-the-field developments? Are you anticipating strength or weakness into Tuesday's close? An engineered Cisco-Powell rally on Wednesday?
a
Zeev, have you made a plan for next week?
a.
Aw shucks, Newly. It was a rush job. Petered out badly near the end.
As for daytrading, the secular bear market will require a repudiation of this wrongheaded, wrong Hed, even wrong head (think of the fella with the priapic main momentum indicator) practice. The Turnip flower children do not see it, and the wise elders, ahem, let's just say I am not the only mug with a thorny ethic.

My investment posture is rooted in a grim worldview. Presuming an Independent's dispensation from One Hundred Sixty Pounds Of Baked Beans Racing Around In A Bearsuit Without A Trapdoor's costive no-politics dictate (it's a fine line between celebration and calumny), here goes.
Reagan ate Gorbachev for breakfast. He ended the Cold War, made the world safer for democracy, and accelerated the dissolution of the Soviet Empire. Game, set, and match. Our fortieth President could not have scored a more decisive victory.
The end of the Cold War coincided with a communications revolution. The implication: the despots of the world cannot keep their populations in the dark. Not entirely. Less and less. The planet grows a bit smaller (and relatedly, increasingly tightly wound) every last day. Pushes toward open and democratic societies are inevitable. But damnit, Washington can be freedom's worst enemy.
Back at the ranch, you see, the American people, fat and happy, took to electing chief executives precisely for their lack of solemnity, precisely for their shamelessly callused tabloid properties. Heckle, Jeckle, and Heckle Jr. do not boast one single ounce of vision or the remotest sense of history between them. Votes for such conspicuous ciphers were mandates for torpor.
Skipping to the bottom line, because The Zeev, that loopy ex-chorus boy, has me on a word count. Our diplomatic and intelligence communities' inattentions and screwups have extended the winters of the most onerous regimes on Earth and have allowed for the spectacular rise of an al Qaeda.
A bearish coming of age is not chipper, but this thinking--admittedly incomplete, and without touching on the prospect of war or pursuing other expectations--allows me to reconcile what little I have read about Kondratieff and the nature of bear markets with the tape and our times. The post, therefore, appears on the correct thread.
Confidential to Physicists Don't Need Lab Coats You Just Wear That Starchy Thing To Impress The Honeys: causes...not...excuses.

Does anyone remember last year's market response to the State Of The Union?
Thanks.
First things first, Easy Money. What the heck do you got against cosmetologists? A cosmetologist wants a better life for her kids, too.
Now, ml, if you don't mind, your quick, intuitive take as to when we could see a 30-40 NDX point technical reset?
a.
I mean a move of three or four percent.

Z-man, when should the next modest updraft begin? Before or after the presidential address?

Think you can solve THE CASE OF THE VICINAL EMINENCE?

But are you not pinpointing a time and then passing along an "excuse"? I am suggesting an element of misdirection.
Sui generis does apply. It was a fondly employed ad hominem. You are one of a kind, brother.
aldaka
My sui generis friend, if your work is purely mechanical, how can you claim that a speech will serve as a causative of a turn?
Aldaka
HONK.
Cheer up, pooch.

wahz, in your discipline, which components, which nonproprietary measures, carry the most weight?
A.
Okay. Can you rank the sentiment indicators in their order of importance? And is that order the same in both bull and bear trends?
aldaka
Zeev, you have a possible top in the 1390s. If we fail to reach that level by X time, the top in. If we exceed that level, then the top falls at X or Y?
Straightforwardly, it's about primacy. Within your index work, which is king, price or time?
A.
Newly, I liked the sandstorm story, too.
Best wishes and red herrings,
A.
