http://allstarcharts.com/the-dreaded-eiffel-tower-formation-in-the-shanghai/
WAMUQ down 25% today; WAMPQ down 15.16% today---possibly as the UQ's fall, they might get cheaper?
So... an opportunity to accumulate more now for a LT hold into the reorganized co.
thanks.. we've got a few months to find out.
Interesting chart: http://t.co/IQ1uWVIV right now holding $FAZ; $TZA and some $ERY.. doesn't look like QE3 coming, bernank talking today.
Ok, now that we have the commons confirmation... let's hope pps moves down towards the POR confirmation/effective date etc---I'd definitely pick up a few more.
Errett, thanks for the background on WAMUQ--at this price---very cheap still
lol, the $1.8 trade got you thinking and wondering! eom

J. Kyle Bass, take the time, a good watch.
You got $38! $FAZ should move up a bit next week.. of course predictions are a fool's game but $SPY did get turned off the 200dma today.
Costa Rica must be cool
I just checked right now, nothing since 11/23, on pacer.
I tell you what it could go either by tomorrow.. we've seen big swings both ways this month.
no trades today? eom
not sure if you'll get those more 400pt'ers.. I think the fed brought out a bazooka yesterday but it won't help the sovereign issues; china etc. Now that the banks have more $$ does that mean they can lend more to Europe?
I'm seeing decent volume on $ES_F now and it's not going up
Eddy, you might be giving up on $FAZ too soon. I agree, it's daunting right now but really not THAT much has been fixed. Just my thought.
Someone getting impatient today.. lol EOM
The Relationship Between the Dollar and the Bond Market
by 'Finance Banter'
http://seekingalpha.com/article/173560-the-relationship-between-the-dollar-and-the-bond-market
[it's from 2009 but of course the principles are still the same]
The relationship between the relative strength of the US Dollar and its effect on the bond market is important for investors to understand. This is mainly a macroeconomic relationship, although the drivers of supply and demand are not always obvious.
Currency markets are measured by relative value. The appreciation or depreciation of one currency is always in the context of how it relates to a foreign currency. Overall, any currency in its most fundamental form is a means for trade. Therefore, when analyzing the effect of a currency on markets, it is wise to consider it in the context of global trade. Import and export prices fluctuate with relative currency values. If a nation, such as the US, has a net trade deficit, it imports more goods than it exports and consumers will benefit from a strong domestic currency. In the opposite scenario where a country exports more goods than it imports, such as China, producers are better served by a weak currency so their goods remain competitively priced in foreign markets. In this example, as the US Dollar depreciates versus the Chinese Yuan, Chinese exports become more expensive for US consumers to purchase. This effect is undesirable for the Chinese government as their economic growth is dependent on export sales and any reduction in exports would lead to a sharp drop in GDP growth and rise in domestic unemployment.
Stabilization Through Capital Markets Activity
To attempt to control this relationship, the Chinese government engages in capital markets activity to help stabilize their currency. The Chinese Yuan had been pegged to the US Dollar until it was allowed to float in 2005, but since 2008 has once again been constrained to a very tight range and not allowed to fluctuate. China fears its currency will strengthen versus the Dollar and simultaneously impact export demand.
That action is translated to the capital markets by foreign buying of US government bonds – the Chinese government will sell Yuan and buy Dollars to do so. Consistent foreign investment in US government bonds will keep demand high and yields low for treasury paper.
When the trend begins to reverse, however, the snap-back in the currency and bond markets has the potential to be severe. As soon as foreign governments recognize that they can begin relying on a strengthening dollar to support export demand, they will no longer support treasury buying. The US bond market has the potential to face a severe sell-off and rates will be forced to rise.
Who Holds US Paper
To understand how and when that reversal might happen, look at global US treasury reserves. China is the largest foreign holder US debt holder with over $797 billion and Japan is close behind with $731 billion in total holdings. Combined, these governments control over 20% of the US treasury market. If one or both of these nations become net sellers, the US bond market will get slammed. Watch the dollar’s value over the coming months as an indication for possible trend reversal.
xzx, ok--starting to understand they 'why' for TBT / TMV. One thing i'm wondering.. would TBT be a hedge for FAZ and/or TZA or would they benefit from the same thesis.

Sweet! Thanks and yes my wife's been telling me to get on Firefox for a long time.. LOL Also a mark for you Sidedraft:)
Don't uncross them, we're at 28c now
Yes, when I get to the 'bankruptcy results' page I see that case no, click on it---wait and nothing happens. Eventually the 'internet cannot display...' screen comes up. I've accessed the TDLPQ case on there before.
Anyone having difficulty accessing Transdel case on pacer? tia
yes, I have read that there is UST selling going on to 'help out' in euroland. not imposssible to imagine a situation where europe (and the UK is entering the picture) starts selling UST---because there will be no QE/Eurobonds or whatever. The EFSF is a dud as well. thanks for the article.
keeping an eye on TBT.. I have a feeling the time to be in TBT might come as a surprize. hope you're having a great weekend xzx
Errett, on this side only too happy to be able to show that patience is paying off:) Happy TG to you too!
Errett, I'm also liking the prospects for Transdel. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones
Doing a bit of background reading on ketoprofen (think of oral application eg- ibuprofen), one possibility comes up.. Ketotransdel might be a topical pain reliever for arthritis for example.

Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TDLP.OB) Announces Strategic Growth Plans for 2011 0 comments

Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc, a US specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has made the decision to focus on generating increased shareholder value through the aid of two investment banks, American MedTech Advisors and ESC Advisors. The main motive behind this investment is to further develop TDLP-110 or Ketotransdel®, the company’s flagship late stage in-development pain product.
Transdel has already finished the beginning of the Phase 3 trial for TDLP-110, presenting all data and information that came along with the trial at the 13th World Congress on Pain, which was held in Montreal, Canada in September of last year. Transdel holds its utmost belief in the TDLP product, as it is poised to become the first ever topical keteprofen product that will be approved in the US. It can also be famed as being the “best in class” product in the topical NSAID market.
“The data of the TDLP-110 Phase 3 trial confirm that it is an effective product candidate for reducing pain of acute soft tissue injuries and is very well tolerated,” said lead clinical investigator Evan F. Ekman, M.D. and President and Medical Director of Southern Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, Columbia, SC. “TDLP-110 has the potential to offer a new standard in topical pain management with an active ingredient and an elegant cream formulation that once approved differs from available topical NSAID treatments. In particular, I am impressed by the excellent cutaneous/application site tolerability.”
The potential investment with the banks is not the only strategy that the company has in mind. Other strategies that can be employed include possible future partnerships, mergers, equity/debt financing, or selling the company as a whole. If the decision to sell the company is made, the recent strategic plans being made can lead to more attractive terms for the sale. The company has withheld disclosing the developments until all of the plans are implemented and the Board has approved all of the specific transactions incorporated with the plans.
Transdel Pharmaceuticals is a company that provides topically delivered products in the US. Its main patent, Transdel cream formulation technology, is specifically designed to create permeable penetration of its various products through the barrier of the skin. The company’s main product Ketotransdel® makes use of the patented technology to deliver the drug ketoprofen, which is an anti-inflammatory drug, into the skin directly to exert its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Transdel also develops a variety of cosmetic products that use the transdermal delivery system technology.
