Daytrading Darlings

RobotTrader's picture




Yet another bout of panic selling on the open, but that didn't stop the HeatMappers from propping and supporting the "Daytrading Darlings" being gamed by the 19-year olds running grandma's 401(k) money over at Fidelity.

You can always tell if the morning selloff is "real" or not by watching these screamers:






#dddddd; background: #f1f5ff none repeat scroll 0% 0%; text-decoration: none; display: block; width: 100%; font-size: 12px;">Trading Charts

Didn't see too much damage here.  Besides, I noticed that the "worst of the worst" debt-laden, government owned IRE was up 6% today, another Animal Spirits barometer.

Funny how these behemoth institutions are so quick to sell anything and everything commodity related when the dollar shows the slightest bit of strength.

Just goes to prove that venture capital is dead, private equity is dead, and alternative investments are dead.

No fund manager at Harvard, Yale, CalPers, TIAA-CREF, etc. would dare touch anything these days that cannot be liquidated in 2 minutes via a mouse click.

Therefore, when the dollar ramped, these guys engaged in the usual chain-selling of gold, oil, steel, infrastructure, etc. and immediately piled the proceeds into bonds.

A half percent here, a half percent there, it eventually adds up for these guys.

Nobody dares to hold anything for more than a few days.

Meanwhile, the more enterprising smaller fund were simply rotating money out of commodity plays and gunning the homebuilders, retailers, home improvement plays.

Hey, what ever is moving up gets bought.  What ever is "not working" that day is dropped like a used tampon.

And of course, bonds were lapped up once again, as our government freely issues gargantuan amounts at near zero cost, week in and week out.

Why not float some 50-year and 100-year paper?  No doubt, it would go out 3x oversubscribed, especially on a day when stocks are down.

Nobody is going home without wearing a condom today.  Note the sky high put/call readings from this afternoon when the market was actually green:

 

On Morning Call...

What happened to "Bathtub" Becky Quick today?  Melissa Francis subbing in today.  I remember she used to be found screeching in the Nymex pits to announce the "Oil Glut" report back in the day.

The real story today was once again Amanda Drury, sporting a leopard-like blouse today showing off her cleavage.  I actually caught her looking down at her blouse, checking to see if she was displaying "enough" yet at the same time, "not enough"....

Must be some huge competition brewing between Amanda and the sultry Michelle Caruso-Cabrera:

One day, we are going to see a showdown between these two.  Here's a shot at the two casting a l glance at each other....

"Michelle, how many more facelifts are you going to have?"

"Sorry Amanda, men prefer brunettes, not blondes"

Karen Tso just came out from down under and busted this race wide open.  She's on Asia Squawk Box right now - CNBC World - and Mandy has been outdone (undone?) by her understudy.  I don't have vid capture, but it would be worth it if anyone here did.

Ms. Sqworl,

Post your own pictures of guys doing whatever for a living.

There is this saying,

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get use to it.

Waaaaaaayyy too much dark eye glop.  It's unnatural.

It's always bothered me that men on business TV dress for business, but women dress for dates.  It's unprofessional.  I know they get paid to dress for dates, but on a business program it's still unprofessional and prevents me from taking them or the networks that put them on seriously at all.

Becky "Rutgers" Quick doesn't need to work that hard any more.....or so it would seem

____________________________________

COMELY "Squawk Box" co-anchor Becky Quick is ruffling some feathers.

Quick, 36, who hosts the early-morning CNBC show with Carl Quintanilla and Joe Kernen, quietly married the show's executive producer, Matthew Quayle, a few months ago - which has drawn grumbles from co-workers regarding the ethical ramifications. "He is her direct superior, so it's a little weird," groans one insider. "She's definitely been getting preferential treatment since they got together."

Quick - whose glossy hair and sparkling incisors prompted a 2006 New York Times story about her legions of online male admirers ("Her teeth are like pearls from the Orient," wrote one fan on a Web site) - was previously married to a computer programmer.

Quayle, 38, who has been with CNBC for 16 years, was also married with two kids before he and Quick started dating. "He is a big Christian and would always talk about the church. And then he left his wife and babies for her. What a hypocrite," snips an insider.

Wrong douche....

Becky Quick was born into a family of four children to a geologist father and his wife. Becky has three younger brothers. Her father's profession as a geologist has led the family move around the oilfields in Indiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Becky Quick and her three younger brothers spent part of their childhood in these areas before finally settling in Medford, New Jersey.

"what ever is moving up gets bought."

This seems about right. Today was WAVE and AIG. One can imagine those fund managers paying extra attention to cur_volume / avg_volume or volume_ema(5) / avg_volume in their watchlists.

ugg boots london I saw something shocking uggs london on my way to work the other day. uggs new york While bundled in a long sleeved shirt, wool sweater and coat, with a Pashmina, hat and gloves,ugg boots london sale I saw a man with his bike a the bus stop in SANDALS. He wasn’t overly well dressed for cold weather, in jeans, t-shirt and open jacket. Now, having lived in Oregon for the past decade I have come to be aware of what “true Oregonians” consider winter attire. ugg boots london shop This primarily consists of the inbred belief that flip-flops are a necessity year round, and sweaters and umbrellas are for tourists. I do not uphold this belief.ugg boots sale london I love getting dressed up for winter, layering on leggings with my sweater dress and ugg boots new york, a sweater and a jacket, and a rotating army of scarves, hats and gloves.ugg boots london stockists I don’t enjoy being frozen, especially knowing how easy a situation that is to avoid. uggs new york sale So personally, buy ugg boots london I do not consider myself a “true Oregonian.” I like umbrellas, and only wear flip flops when it’s above 75 degrees.Based on the population of Oregon, ugg new york I’m probably in the minority. Although I have come to accept that these people are just immune to cold in a way I am not, uggs new york of sale I do still think they are crazy. I’m guessing that the good folks at UGG Australia caught wind of these people because look at what they have to offer: sandals with fleece!uggs new york on sale
