I'm basically using NZD/USD as an indicator for the market right now haha It's worked pretty well.
Got into FAS calls at $11.60. There was a bit of a sell-off but we held pretty well. Right now hourly MACD is about to cross on NZD/USD; needs to be stronger though. MACD on the market indices are a little further from crossing. Of course, this all means nothing if they don't actually end up crossing.

Entering FAZ a bit here at height of day, S&P at 1160. Seems like resistance should be around here based on daily chart.
Will enter more when I see an actual sell off but it's just a safe entry point for now.

Wow so much news today:
- Microsoft officially planning to bid for Yahoo.
- Steve Jobs has passed away.
- The hacking group "Anonymous" plans to erase the NYSE exchange on Oct.10
Probably want to short end of Thursday or Friday going into the scare. NYSE is just one exchange; it is not the entire stock market.

Market bouncing back a bit - into FAS at $9.

k stopped out at a few % after the rally topped. I guess no more crazy reversals here - looks like we're finally in an actual bear market.

Small runup today but headed back down again. Maybe I should start going long in the mornings and then short after 1 hour.
Also an interesting chart - we basically bounced off of the next support yesterday after breaking the first.

Hate to say this but I'm hoping we break this support here. Then we'll be in freefall.

Went long today on FAS expecting a bounce. Got out near high at end of day.
Some other stocks in play:
CLWR and S on possible buyout from Dish Network (but only one will get bought)
KGN - Just way oversold because silver is down
HGSI - Running up solidly during a downmarket

Bahaha Dow down 360 points - glad I held FAZ (3x short ETF) overnight.
On the other hand.... we just broke support on the DOW. Hm - either we bounce back hard tomorrow (and close today with a reversal candle, long wick, something) or it's down days from here.

EAPH about to run. Just got in at .10

Back into FAZ again - looks like we got a knife down from the Fed meeting, so I'm going bearish again until we hit major support (probably the same support the DOW has bounced off about 4 times now in 2 months).

Jumped 20000 places today in the CNBC contest. Only 200 more to go.
If only I knew how to follow currencies too; then that part of my portfolio wouldn't be dragging me back.

Nice chart on AAGC. Just be careful for any sell off as it takes little volume to move it.

Watching PSID and CWTR right now. PSID just started shooting straight up so I'm hoping for a pullback. CWTR had a sell off yesterday so I'm seeing if it holds support.

Fresh chart on TDKN at 1.22
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Markets are back above the 30-day SMA on daily. SMA is also flattening out, so this might be good for longer term; need to see if the next pullback stays above it to confirm.
Will definitely get into FAS or URTY on next pullback.

Was hoping for more strength going into mid-day here (when stocks usually dip).
FAS needs to break this upper resistance (across several days) to keep going.

Got out of FAS on its second bounce down from resistance. These swings are getting smaller, as noted previously.
Edit: Nvm, got back in on pullback after it started surging up again. O_o Triple top if it fails to break 12.80 again though.
Edit2: Out at 12.70 - no greediness.

Into FAS a little bit here incase it reverses. Needs to break the upward resistance to confirm though.
If it breaks support instead, I'm flipping completely and buying FAZ.

Might get into FAS if it dips under $12 again. The last run was short though, so it's getting a bit riskier - will get out immediately if the support at 10.95K falls for the DOW.

RYUN jumped briefly to $1.60 and back down to $1.50 now. I think it was just one guy buying a lot though, so I wouldn't enter too quickly. Will buy if I can get in back towards the $1.40 range.
