Taper has to happen. Its gonna happen. So let's get it over with.

[AJS]

Just a thought...Fed not ignorant of what's going on in the markets right now...S&P down almost 2% MTD and US 10Y heading towards 3% (which is not a comfortable level for FED)...all because markets are nervous ahead of FOMC.

 

Does the FED risk announcing tapering on 18 Dec...liquiduty already poor as it stands...imagine what it will be towards back end of next week...and especially if the do announce they taper...there will be no bids and markets may riot.

 

Not sure that is what the Fed wants right now. It's just not practical to taper on 18 Dec in my humble opinion...and the budget deal is very underwhelming and still doesn't address the debt ceiling issue.

 

I agree, but then again... it has to happen at some point.

Don't forget Septaper surprise

 

You'll need to take as many variables into account as possible, and for me, a big variable for not tapering in Sept, was the budget deal, which has been approved now, so there is very little to stop FED from tapering. IMO

I'm short @ 38560

[Sunesis]

If we get a bounce before close, I will go short on that bounce.

If the market is anything to go by, we will see a taper in December.

I think any hope of a bounce is out the door. To late in the day as I think most traders are done for the week.

Very little buyers out there.

No more buyers.

 

I'm just waiting to buy for long weekend.

 

LOL

Debt deal Sell off low 38000

Syria sell off low is 37500-700.

 

Bids should start coming in.

 

You might not want to go on weekend with a short

 

Gamblers can start buying between 38000 - 38200

 

Sorry, i forgot we are all gamblers

Days not over yet, but very glad I dont have to eat my hat! LoL

You right..it isn't..Especially since the FED just said a few minutes ago they wont taper till March...
(JUST KIDDING) Well played on your trades

Jakes, dont make jokes like that. Almost bought 100 contracts long. Lol

US needs it's fair share of dropping too.

 

Just make sure you are long before US close.

 

US should have a dead cat bounce on Monday

These massive up and down jumps on FTSE (15-20 points in 3 minutes) scares the hell out of me. It makes trading short term hectic and nerve racking. Yes the trend remains but on short term cut offs you might be on the wrong side of the trade....

 

What can it be? Institutions finding positions and moving funds for year-end window dressing?

I would have ate my hat anyway if that news came out now.

My heart skipped a few beats reading that sentence just now.

LOL like a fairy tail..Once upon a time...Far, far away there was 39200 

Looks like the assasin saw how big the bear was and decided to bail!

 

Days not over yet, but very glad I dont have to eat my hat! LoL

I don't like the word relief. 

As traders we should be happy to make money in either direction.

Fundamentally this has been a long time coming.

Just enjoy and trade the direction.

[joker]

Short at 38430.

And I still can't believe I sold my overnight long at 38840 this morning. Pure luck.

[fabes]

A - where do you see us end today or will US open give some relief?

I see no relief. This is absolutely crazy!!

Otherwise we are making ground for Monday's holiday!
