Look out below!

January 7, 2009 by Ryan Barr

If we don’t hold 907 on the SPX today this is going to get pretty ugly and I think I’m going to have to cut my SSO(49.32 -0.89) and QLD(47.97 -1.24) positions for a loss. The days in Jan are ticking away very quickly and decay is starting to work against me in a big [...]

Getting ready for the first trading week of 2009

January 4, 2009 by Ryan Barr

Here we go!  Tomorrow morning the big boys come back to the market and we should be off to the races.  If the wave count works out as expected, we should run up into the 950 range on the SPX(1295.22 -9.64) this week then come back down.  Since the Elliott Wave count gets really muddled, [...]

Quite a start to 2009

January 2, 2009 by Ryan Barr

Well there you have it.  Today the ^DJI closed up 258.3 points and the SPX(1295.22 -9.64) closed up 28.55 points.  As I stated in my earlier post, the Christmas Rally I was looking for looks like it is beginning to materialize.  This is a very healthy move for the markets and something that I am [...]

Working on up

December 30, 2008 by Ryan Barr

Wow, today was a nice run in the markets.  The SPX(1295.22 -9.64) popped above some really important resistance levels.  I think we’ll continue to see a slight up trend until sometime around mid-late January, then I’ll be turning around and going hard short. Anyhow, I still have my open January Calls on the 2x Bull [...]

A hail Mary for the Big (failing) Two

December 19, 2008 by Ryan Barr

Well, it looks like GM and Chrysler will get a $17.4 Billion Dollar cash infusion from the Executive Branch of our government.  They will get $13.4 Billion of it today, and another $4 Billion in February. The automakers have to prove viability via a number of possible methods, I’m sure they’ll be able to pull [...]

Tim Geithner, asleep at the wheel?

December 18, 2008 by Ryan Barr

Greg Mankiw points out a really fun fact… The AP reports: President-elect Barack Obama says the government has been “asleep at the switch” when it comes to overseeing the nation’s financial system. He says Americans are “feeling frustrated that there’s not a lot of adult supervision.” A smart but snarky friend points out: You might [...]

Say it ain’t so! GE could lose “AAA”?

December 18, 2008 by Ryan Barr

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Standard & Poor’s on Thursday changed its outlook on General Electric Corp and its finance arm to negative, and said there is at least a one-in-three chance it will cut GE’s credit rating from the top “AAA” in the next two years. “The negative outlook is based partly on the concerns [...]

He said what?

December 18, 2008 by Ryan Barr

You’ve got to be kidding me… CNN – BUSH: I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system. I think when people review what has taken place in the last six months and put it all in one package, they’ll realize how significantly we have moved. How exactly can you “abandon” free market [...]

Closing them down

December 17, 2008 by Ryan Barr

My personal positions on SSO(49.32 -0.89) and QLD(47.97 -1.24) will be closed out as soon as the SPX(1295.22 -9.64) gets close to 950.  I’ve been doing a lot of research on the current Elliot Wave targets and those coupled with the analysis from www.retracementlevels.com really makes me think that closing out around 950 is the [...]
