Australia has raised its main interest rate for the second month
in a row, to 3.5% from 3.25%. Interesting that the dollar is
spiking after this happened.
Yes. Too many eggs in SRS/DRV on Friday for me. Also shorted
AMZN and EEM and had TZA so the day wasn't a loss by any means, but
I hate to see big gains disappear because of the Government. IYR
should have closed down big on Friday.
I can't believe this was released during market hours on a late
Friday afternoon. It cost me a lot. I had not clue we would move
this far so quickly. My SPY and FAS charts didn't move at all so I
was puzzled and in shock at the time. Usually on a big down day SRS
closes at the HOD so I wasn't too worried about some drops since it
is usually the MM's blowing out a few shorts before we close. You
can tell I am a little frustrated since I had a lot of SRS and DRV
from earlier in the day. What should have been an awesome day
turned out even. And those playing the 15 minute system got hurt as
well.
Lesson learned is don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Analysts say a downbeat note from influential banking analyst
Richard Bove raised concerns about Wells Fargo and sent investors
rushing to dump financial stocks.
Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC,
said the note was a reminder of troubles still in the economy and
was enough to scare many traders.
"They all ran for the exits at the same time," he said.
People are dumping DXO in AH -- it is down 7% and DTO is hardly
moving. Guess people want out. Will be interesting tomorrow if it
goes back up as it should. I wonder if we should be worried about
SRS or TZA?
Any thoughts on FNM? I bought recently at just under $1.00 in my
IRA and we are now at $1.40 today. Not a bad return. I'm hoping it
turns into another CAR or the like.

So TZA just went green on a DOW up 100+ market. Bad indexes or crazy market?

Awesome call. I forgot about AAPL. Made a quick 2.75 points shorting down to $204.75. Missed the top by about a buck.
Thanks!
