new schedule just released. IMHO (FWIW) looks like the only 2 days that the mkt can go down are on 1/18 (TIPS) and 1/20 (long bonds) when only 1-2 billion bonds will be bought. rest of the days in Jan are 6+ billion P/d. mkt closed 1/17.

BPT, thanks Matt for the heads up, took a position on the p/b @~11am est, now 1 hour later and 50 cents, back out, NEXT....

fwiw I remember reading just recently about the tendency of the NDX to top around the 8th trading day of January and stumbling for the next 2 weeks, could have been sentiment trader, not sure. still rather play bpt setups, but like to be aware of what is going on around me. maybe I'm just overly cautious these days.

always liked div capt. plays, just picked some up @ 19.10, let's see how long I have to hold it in order to take cap gains plus the div.    thanks for the idea

news announcement on stock warrants being issued to existing stockholders could be playing with the stock volitility

nice call. up at least 1pt from your posting, too bad I thought about it too much

silly me, I thought stock trading was a 'contact' sport.

whadda ya mean it's not on the trade ideas list???

Matt/Steve, aside from the ugly 5min chart, would you buy it back here at breakpoint?

good thing you didn't say 'weekdays', 'cause then I'd be really concerned about your health. 

wsj added to the hype with article yesterday (?) saying the reduction in quota's is closer to ~35%.

is there a tab for that?

off and running, now we know what the 'in the know' people knew yesterday. nothing like having China decide to reduce permits for rare earth metals by 10+% for first quarter 2011. nice pik BPT.
