Well all I can add is....
an "expected" # can be jus as padded as the actual # that's bein reported.....so who really ever knows what the real # is.
Seems to me for the last several Q's now we've been trading on ghost #'s....well....the #'s are there of course, we just have no clue how accurate they are.
W/re to the fundamentals of it all (why is it seen positive?)...ya mean comin in better than expected yet still negative I assume....that's been my beef (Nettles too if I aint mistaken) for quite sometime now...the only answer I can come up with is the ol' manipulation thread plain & simple.
Thus it appears as if the mrkts will trade wherever they damn well want to & thus the fundi's are thrown right out the window...at least until the powers that be decide to let go & allow things to trade in a range that's more telling of the actual #'s....or shall I say the #'s we're being given.
After all.....it would all be too easy if there wasn't this sorta manipulation goin on.....we'd all make a killing trading off these events if everything reacted as it should...wouldn't we? Sure we're thrown a bone or 2 every once in awhile & things go as they should when #'s come out....but for the most part, at least for the larger events, it seems to me that there's no real ryhme or reason to trading off the fundi's anymore....been this way for awhile.
We were talking about all this several mos ago I think & this is just another reason why this is all so much of a crap shoot & is another reason why trading the charts & T/A is far more lucrative...especially when speaking of 4x.
That's my best explanation anyway....take it or leave it.
& man alive....that several day usd/chf short I've been workin on...the one that was up over 200......just like that overnight it's pretty much back to b/e...took the better part of a week to make that 200 & just like that, gone in a flash. Still holdin of course & gonna try to be patient & wait it out...in fact I've added to it here @ 1.2178....& I see where now both are under water. Just when I thot I wouldn't have to worry over the wknd w/an open position cuz it was up at least 150+.....now it seems I very well may have to be under wknd water :0
I'll still continue ta trade in & around'em.....jus goes ta show ya....prolly always best to simply trade the ranges & quick spikes never trying ta hold day ta day, week ta week, etc.
Happy Fri all....2 more weeks ta go before 2 weeks off & the Annaul Boys Pigskin Lost Wknd in Reno...12/20-23 if anyone happens to be in town.....Suites @ The Peppermill.....hut hut HIKE!!! ;))
