No news is bad news, short-term, for the market. Geithner remains MIA and the market continues to rollover.
Put Volcker in the game, send Geithner to the bench, he's looking more hapless than Ricky Weeks with a bad wrist.

Admitting my ignorance, I call upon the guidance of a respected insider...(That's you KJ!)
Two questions...
1) When you see the Asisn market on a late Sunday night down close to 4%...does that factor in much to our market?
2) Does the opening line consider after hours trading, and thus throw me off when I see this...
...and it looks like a gain for the day...but not when compared to that dotted red line.

I had a friend tell me yesterday, " This is worse than a divorce! I've lost half my net worth and I still have my wife!"
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

~Lance More often than not, a big move in the Asain market is a reflection of the prior trading day in NY.
Stock charts generally reflect the close of regular trading, not extended hours.

Watched much of Geithner today, very disappointing. I don't think they're even in the ballpark for doing what needs to be done.
Geithner defending the Administration's absolutely ridiculous GDP forecast (-1% for 2009) shows the same old DC manipulation game continues (i.e., George Bush, fall of '08 "the economy remains strong").
Goldman just revised their GDP forecast to -7.1% for Q1. So I guess Treasury is expecting something on the order of 7%-10% GDP growth by Q4. :rolleyes:

Let me take a guess at his track record on the economy/markets:

2000-01 - good
2002-2006 - very, very bad
2007 - average
2008-09 - good

What Will Stock Market Be On Draft Day?
Hey Kevin!
Wouldn't purchasing Citigroup, Inc at $1 per share be a smart gambling "hedge" that the US economy will recover?
They were at $7 in January.
If they fail completely...the economy would be right behind it would seem.
Seems like a safe bet...either you turn a nice profit...or you dollar becomes worthless anyway.

~Lance If I told you that last fall they had exposure to contract default swaps on the order of $10 trillion would you still think so?
Citi's market cap was close to $300 billion, now its $5 billion. If you were to speculate their CDS exposure now is $5 trillion, it then would take an extra 0.1% loss on that portfolio to erase another $5 billion in market value.

Let's just say I purchased 2000 shares of "C" at 1.03.
It's now at 1.33
Would selling 1000 shares locking in almost 30%, and wait for more movement to buy that 1000 shares back should it fall back a bit or even if it continues to go up be a conservative approach, or is that "day trading" and they'll kill me in taxes or penalties or whatever.
Just in general. (I'm still learning)

Is it just recently...or common that you could draw a line following the US DOW, to the Asia Nikkei, to the Euro FSTE...on back to the US DOW.

~Lance [/QUOTE]Lance, Citi is so leveraged and uncertain it's basically like buying a stock option.
Go to Vegas, put $1000 on black on you're up 100% with a good spin. Do it again and you're rolling big with easy money. But it could just as easily come up red tomorrow. My professional opinion is just that, it's a pure speculation. Could win big, could lose big, with instant gratification. Just not a game I would play with better risk/reward options on the table.

~Lance Not unusual to have a high degree of correlation across global markets, especially with macroeconomic events affecting the entire global economy in a similar manner.

Hey, who is going to win the Pete Rose autographed baseball? Could we be at 7500 by Friday. Or better yet, could we be at 7777 by Friday of March Madness!!

Greg, here were all the predictions. Could come down to the wire.
Rucrew2 has the lead right now, but I like my chances - if the recent improvement in confidence keeps rolling thru the end of the week I could be real close. If it overshoots RT or even Plymouth has a shot. Dabears could take it if we run out of steam, I think everyone else (especially the Fed conspiracy crowd) is done for.
JohnZ = 8315
Plymouth = 7831
RoundTrippers = 7777
KJ Duke = 7629
Rucrew2 = 7498
CURRENT PRICE = 7395.70
Dabears = 7135
No-you-won’t = 7008
Doughboys = 7005
Gekko = 6750
Scott Boras = 6,666.66
Sportsbettingman = 6420
Vander = 6012
Bama = 5850
GoBabyGo = 5400
Snord35 = 5375

Yes...part of me saw the turnaround (after being right on pace for my prediction) and said "Damn...there goes a nice baseball"...but the other part of me said "Sweeeeeet...a rebound in the economy!"
But the third part of me thinks..."The rally/surge before the real drop" as many predicted.
I'll take the surge and run with it!

~Lance Economy still is getting worse, but confidence may have bottomed. If so, market has seen its lows. Too soon to tell right now.
As more economic data and 1st qtr earnings (or should I say loss) reports come out in April and early May, investor confidence may be tested again.

crew and kj remind me of the stat guys in this. 7500 would have entered my brain not 7498. which is probably why i am down in market and down in fantasy.
