Goldman Stolpers Clients Again As EURUSD Breaches 1.3500, Squid Stopped Out On Friday EURUSD Trade Reco
Well, it didn't take one day... It took a whopping two days for our always contrarian call to do the opposite of what Goldman said on Friday, to materialize. As we said on Friday afternoon, "Time to sell the EURUSD with both hands and feet, not to mention with MF Global-type leverage: that uber-contrarian FX indicator, Goldman's Thomas Stolper, who has not had a notable call correct in the past 2 years, just came out with a long EURUSD call, calling for a 1.40 target and a 1.35 stop loss. Yes, this means Goldman is now selling EURUSD until 1.40 and will begin buying it at 1.35." 48 hours later Goldman's clients lose big, Goldman's flow desk wins, and anyone who agreed with our traditional cynicism made several thousand pips assuming the proper use of MF type leverage.

Gotta love it.
2 Corinthians 11:14No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

QE3 is coming
Remember what he did to Alderaan?
The world is a vampire.... Hitler would be proud.
Amen to that!
perhaps there is life in the ol squid yet!
hahaha
Why not just keep the trade unless you think there is a bounce coming soon...
Thomas Stolper is as good a reverse Euro caller as Nadler is for gold.
Gartman.
Gartman's reverse calling abilities are universal, spanning all asset classes.
"Stolpers" ( pres. tense ) -- "Stolpered" ( past tense ) -- verb. Synonym: "shtupped."
i burned several times with EURO
some how its so resilent... some1 is constantly pumping .
Better safe than sorry, i would say we will stay above 1.35 for the day
As soon as the Euro implodes, the USD-JPY will collapse, and the BOJ will have to massively intervene. Thus you will see Japan's economy crater.

I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire
CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
LOL. I was singing that when I woke up this morning.
I always thought the Ring of Fire was the euphemism they used for the can at Pepe's All You Can Eat Chili Emporium?

Sovereigns, central banks, Midle East are all buyers as they constantly diversify their USD holdings for various reasons. Eurozone banks deleveraging currently are also buyers. That'll put a halt to any sustained dip - hedge funds and the like would love to run EUR down but they're hitting brick walls. It'll change when more participants want USD a lot more i.e. when the shit properly hits the fan in a big way.
Der Stolper bekommt dieses Jahr kein Boni.
A nice break at 1.35 aaaannnd it's gone.
Amazing how a squid with billions can be so wrong and this site, with donations helping every day can be so right.
And they are buying the dollar and moving out of gold some today. What a bizarre world we live in.
Not very hard to figure it out ... it all depends how you look at your client ... do you think they can afford another haircut? are they fools which for the better good of the society should be separated from their money ?
this site on the other hand is giving info to people they do not even know ...not hard really ... if you ask me not hard to figure out WHO IS DOING GODs WORK...
I'm pretty sure the squid wasn't stopped out. But the clients that were stupid enough to take the trade were :-)
Goldman's motto: "We'll sell our mothers for a dollar."
GS employees have mothers now? News to me.
No wonder the dollar is losing its value.
Reptiles and parasites have mothers.. they are just immediately abandoned at birth.. or prior to..
Lloyd told me he was immaculately conceived. Does this mean he'll be crucified?
As in Patton, you got that wrong. Gold men delight in Sacking your mother for that dollar...so send her in, or wait they'll work a sting. Their mothers didn't love them so they substitute the lowest common denominator of white trash money and never get there. Fk'm.
Since when does anyone listen to the advisory desk of an IB ?? No stake at all in being right about their calls.
Equity’s Limited Reaction to Weakening Credit Often Leads to Painful Convergence

>Goldman's clients lose big,
It's hard to figure how they still have "clients".
Back in the day, when pit trading ruled the universe, people would pay guys like Stolper to stand somewhere nearby and pontificate on market direction. 100% wrong is as good as 100% right. Everybody has a gift for the world, if only they could see it, and from what I've seen, the prop desk loves his ass.

Why aren`t they selling more..
How did Mogan stanley do?
These guys should have their asses thrown in jail. Their day of reckoning is coming soon and it don't look good for them.
haha, the usual malarkey, the bank do it again, why am I not surprised, and short and now long Euro?

Doesn't any know that round number stop are a stupid idea? Ah yes the suckers suck in the suckers to suck them dry
... the round numbers are for clients only.
Of course it doesn't matter....as long as it moves for any and all reasons, they get chance to steal something in the motion. It all happened so fast!!!
If you move to their words, you are born-to-lose.
Maybe "stopler" should become a new verb? For example, "Oh sh*t, I've been stolpered!"
The German language has the verb stolpern.
The English translation is to stumble.

Oil up, gas up, silver up, gold down can it really be this simple?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/goldman-stay-long-gold
edit: i re read the link I posted and to be fair they recommend going long WTI and gas
I tried to use the leverage that MF Global did, and I was arrested for fraud.
Anyone know why the market just surged 40 points?
Easiest quick money for the bots and algos
The USD pulled back. The reaction in the ES / SPY was instantaneous and on the vicious side.
FWIW... I've been doing well buying the XLE on stock market dips and buying FAZ on rallies. Pure day trading... not for the feint of heart.
You got that right. I get Tourette's for about 7 hours a day. TVIX.
True... but what caused USD to pull back?
I'm wondering if it's that same situation that ZH pointed out a week or two ago: EU banks and sovereigns are selling dollar-denominated assets and converting proceeds to Euros (to fund their losses in BTPs and now OATs)???
To bad, but goldie has moved their stop below 3484
Fascinating... Stock market inverse correlation to the USD is at about 1.0 and instantaneous.
QE3 front running
What's the rumor? The market spiked almost a full 100 points within 5 minutes.
Fluffing. Someone is getting ready for the money shot. I'm out.

Tom,
Please make another FX call as soon as possible. My family and friends are in dire need of funds, and you are as good as it gets - kinda.
regards,

QCTM (quietly chuckling to myself)
Thank you Goldman for the easy money. How you still have clients is beyond me.
When euro falls below 1.30, QE3 begins.
One man, one word...
http://translate.reference.com/translate?query=stolper&src=de&dst=en
Goldman always has an agenda, and it's not to help you or I.
Long-term, if the Euro doesn't implode it is going to 1.
Even the choice of 1.35 as a stop was bizarre. Why anybody would choose a stop of 1.35 when we had a swing low of 1.3483 on the 10th is beyond me. Have to admire the balls of the guy who can put out a rubbish call and then not even have the good grace to give the trade an even plausible stop of 1.3480 or something. Another giant fuck you buddy from the Squid. Thanks for the tip though Tom.
The llord is here, llord is there, llordy bleakfiend everywhere.
Got his GS alumni 'Best Boy' Mark Carney in Northern Great White Canuckistan talking up printing presses:
http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1086955--100-polymer-bank-note-goes-into-circulation#article
“The death of cash is greatly exaggerated,” said the bank governor, paraphrasing Mark Twain, during short ceremony at the MaRS Centre.
Hur hur hur Marky Cark and the Funky Smelling Bunch. Egregious misrepresentation of Twain... Old tricks are the best ones, eh?
Question buddy, in the era when that quote that you've appropriated for the squid was made, what would be considered 'cash money' exactly?
Hint: Not paper or plastic bills, pal. You wish.
I bet Canadians wish they hadn't had their cold lips pressed quite so firmly to Gordon Brown's bottom now, eh? Turns out selling their gold was kinda like licking a flagpole in Regina in January; you're stuck with it, Timbittits.
Screw you Marky, the GWN msmedia may be gilding you right now, but trust me, your prestidigitation is more on the level of some guy hawking ring-toss at the PNE:
Mark the 'Carny'
ouch ouch ouch, the best trades are always the missed ones .
I have a good friend who used to be an MD at GS. She left in the late 80's, she says "As soon as we started arbing our clients." She is/was an FX trader.
Thanks ZeroHedge -- whoever you are -- for your insights. Most impressive.
NASDAQ megaphone pattern on daily chart indicates a big move lies ahead.
SP500 monthly chart remains bearish and USDX weekly remains bullish, so it’s only a matter of time until the market makes its move.
