What is a "cable short"?

A few days ago I was listening to an "analyst" discuss how you needed to value apple based on the "number of customers" it had and how much each loyal customer was worth......reminded me of the old days when they would value companies like aol based on the "number of eyeballs".........

Market sure not getting much pop out of this "deal" is it??

WAY too cute Matt!

um I'm thinking we're gatting a market buy here as we close back under upper bb?  Seems like these signals have been more reliable of late?

what is TI?

Maybe this is related to relatively larger amounts of volume last year?  Maybe less HFT going on?  Who knows.   I read a good article about how volume on up days greater than volume on down days, overall a supportive pattern of volume.   I'm not a big reader of zero hedge but wonder, have they predicted any up moves or are they perma bears?  Most of what i see quoted from them seems to be negative?  All fwiw.

Didn't follow him then but didn't Granville call many tops during the  big bull run of the 90s, NEVER calling a rally in one of the greatest bull markets we have seen??  Kinda like Prechter did?

where is a good place to find these?

Well after such a huge move up this is still short......

Ouch!  Talk about giving a trade "some room"!  At what level were those trades placed?!

Is China PMI out? Don't see anything about it

iwm has definitely been showing relative strength last couple days

The only porblem tho is those pesky details about the deal, like where does the money come from, etc???  Also the other boyz now lining up for their bailouts?  Even this resolution seems to be "we have a plan for a plan".

To update this, for anyone interested, apparently there was an update that clarified the cme lowered margin requirements, rather than raising them.  This was reportedly done to aid transfers of MF global accounts.  Although not sure why they didn't just do it for those accounts only?

Any thoughts on possible effects of this?  Gotta think that if there are more shorts than longs this will lead to rally and vice versa?

which macd are you referring, there have been several.

You think he would be broke if he did no?  I guess not if you take in book sales etc.

Does anyone have stats on the system just since it has gone live? What I was thinking was stuff like the %profitable trades, profit factor, avg. losing trade, max draw down,etc.?

TIA

Add to position part trey????
