No web was ever anything like that of the giant Fed spider, but can anything stop this manipulating non-transparent Godzilla?...

Important levels on the Nikkei here. If 14000 gives in it can get nasty!

[strydomk]

I agree. There is no stopping this thing. I cant see any correction until policy makers stop giving the drugs.

Guys lets face it we are going higher,shorts are in for some more pain,targeting 45150 before i am selling my short hedge long.US really flying and now putin is allso pulling back from Ukraine, so i dont see much that can let us drop.

TradeBit, you said....ask a question, maybe we both learn something!

I will repeat Beorn's question....are you saying a change in open interest will have no effect on volatility?

If possible, please put up a graph that proves your point / argument?

 

The way i see it is that the decline of the daily trading range over the last two day's together with the increasing open interest points to a major move soon.

 

Thank's

 

BTW, i was taught that if you disagree with someones point if view, point him in the right direction...

I have been watching this conversation for about 2 weeks and finally joined today. I do find it interesting that in all the calculations and predictions that the group seems to be developing the one thing that seems to be left out of the equation is greed. We all seem to be in agreement that it is time for a correction but we don't look at what the effects of that correction would be especially on the really big players, the type of players that can actually move markets in the direction they want. I am quite sure they also see the need for a correction but also have the ability to hold the market up while quietly moving funds around so that they will feel less pain during the move.
 
In my view the correction will happen, but it will be artificially inflated until the really big players are good and ready to take the support they are providing away. If I had the money to play that kind of game I would. so I think the opposition to the drop at the moment is pure greed.
 
The big fund managers must have hired people that used to work for Enron, fiddling the numbers and making things look better than they are is obviously a skill worth having.

Interesting observations but that is not how it works...markets not selling off due to ZIRP from major central banks and the fact that there is still too much cash sloshing around. Your comment re greed is very valid though...markets are entering the irrational exuberance phase thanks to investor greed and zero interest rates.

Today, against my better judgment I attempted to play this intra-day game. I decided to compose a poem.....

This moning she gapped open
my smile started to gleam
I decided to short this gal
and upwards she went, it seemed

I closed my losing trade suddenly
and immediately I went long
Just to my utter dismay
To find out I was wrong

I then went short again
just following the trend
Only to find out soon after
it had been the wrong order I had sent

So my day was dismal
all I could say was f#$@it
Currently I am still short
and 8 grand out o pocket!

The morale of the story. Stick to what you know. No more intra day trading for this fellow!

Wise words at the end..nice poem though..!
