Potential Pitfalls

Catalysts for a sudden drop in the market:
  • Failure to pass the current financial reform bill.  This would undo a lot of the rallies in the financials and build more pessimism.  
  • European bond default / failed auction.  Less likely than before, but still on the table.  
  • Earnings misses and weak guidance for blue chips such as GE.

I am looking for oscillations in early trade and then a resumption of selling in the 2nd half of the day.

Hey Owl

thanks for your daily comments. I was just wondering ...

a) how many monitors are you using for trading
b) how many core has your CPU
c) are you already a millionaire
d) if you become a millionaire are you going to continue to post market comments ?

Thanks a lot for your feedback !

I use two 24" monitors for trading and my computer is just an old Intel Core Duo ~ 2.0 GhZ with 2 GB RAM. I prefer not to answer other questions but I'll post market comments as long as it doesn't interefere with my trading.
