Ray Dalio- talking about his model & how economic machine works- good explanation of bubble/bust cycle  & the mechanics of working our way out of debt with the gdp/interest rate  equation- fiscal & monetary policy.   U can also download his paper on same topic at Bridgewater.com under research tab-- also his risk parity portfolioi construction helpful.

Nke ER-  Profit down  12%-  CEO says gravy train in China is over for now- they actually lost $ in China - wage increase ate into margin- Chinese consumer getting moe discerning- 

 Uncle Ben post- hysterical Zach- thnx for eod laugh

NKE reproting here after market close- just fyi

AAPL options-wondering what option traders are looking at with APPL here- any input appreciated- I am looking at Jan. 660 calls-

spx DAILY looks like it has to 1420 trendline to keep UP trend in tact

APPL- take a look at 60 min. chart-  looks like 670 support before 660 as next best shots long

also keeping in mind 3Q ends next + window dressing-

 chart patterns & 3x etf question:   Steve- on blog yest. someone commented that chart patterns particularly on 3X etfs  are not as realible /applicable as they are with other issues. Your comments on that?

nice Up move for BOIL closed 43.64 here

lessarda don't U think they'll try to pin it below 700-- market makers lose a chuck of coin above that? 

Mux options I read have done incredibly well here-- like 300% well-something to think about once the short term traders start selling & we get a better entry- not chasing here

END of Day Spikes-   Yesterday big end of day volume spikes on DO, NOV, ESV- crazy.   Some are seeing the same on their Qs charts today here about 3:15 area-- anyone else?    I am not seeing that spike & wondering what they could indicate overall- ideas? thnx

AOL chart-  Matt- the slow stochs over 80 for months !- isn't that rare & what does it indicate?  Assuming for trade- need to see much more volume come in - yes? thnx

yep good point on the futures 4 sure Zach- I really meant if even more of a drop on an actual SPR release-- I will be looking at equity side for swings

that is one theory why crude dropped- rumor of SPR release spooked traders---- the rumor was picked up by headline trolling machine-- one algo triggers on that headline- they all do -  instant sell ensues

good buying opp potential

29 sept.- full moon EST-    11:18pm-   could be one day diff. depending on time zone & location-    just pull up moon cycle chart of 2012 on internet-  lots of 'em
