(9:52 AM) Fulkdaddy: BKX lagging
(9:54 AM) thomas_Poland: from the book of Sperandeo
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: If there is a gap and it is going to reverse it will do so 10-15 mins after the opening 95% of the time
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: If the market continues in the direction of the gap after 10 to 15 mins it is a strong sign that the move will continue for the rest of the day closing in that direction as well
(9:56 AM) thomas_Poland: even if the market reverses after the 10-15 min period if it fails to fill the gap odds are that the market will clsoe in the direction of the gap
(9:56 AM) thomas_Poland: PERIOD
(9:57 AM) Fulkdaddy: so here we go..lets see if it fills the gap
(9:57 AM) Fulkdaddy: 10:00 am data will tell the story

(10:13 AM) ajayvee: TF down 2%
(10:13 AM) tomthetrader: 17.25 enter UWM
(10:14 AM) Fulkdaddy: My fear is this housing data...it is the key to getting out of this decession...as Bernanke is trying to get the 30 year fixed under 4.5% to stop the foreclosures and rates are going up now instead of down
(10:15 AM) tomthetrader: agree ...huge concern
(10:16 AM) arujunaa: i took profits on 25% long tym9 at 117.75 (bought 117.50). just scalping for now.

(11:37 AM) Fulkdaddy: Tom, your bottom call this morning was perfect!
(11:39 AM) tomthetrader: Thank you Dave
(11:40 AM) Freezinalberta: Red , I guess you could look at it both ways. Going long on a short stock, or shorting oil.

(12:36 PM) tomthetrader: and cnbc...which is worth
(12:39 PM) tomthetrader: worse ..my singing or CNBC ?
(12:41 PM) arujunaa: this auction is not a good barometer of demand for bonds as a whole because the 7yr point is unpopular. i think that it does not go as well as yesterday's and will be taken down mainly by dealers.
(12:41 PM) arujunaa: but this will have no effect on the after market price action which will be determined by the normal flows of the market. the comvexity (mortgage) selling usually picks up in the pm again IF they still have hedging needs. watch 117.125 on tym as a pivot.
(12:42 PM) tomthetrader: Thank you Aruj...as far as stocks it would be a good FEAR trade to short here in ES and run it down to 888
(12:44 PM) billbTN: ok i'll give it a whack with es short
