[email_link] Senate Republicans recently blocked cybersecurity legislation, but the issue might not be dead after all. The White House hasn’t ruled out issuing an executive order to strengthen the nation’s defenses against cyber attacks if Congress refuses to act. “In the wake of Congressional inaction and Republican stall tactics, unfortunately, we will continue to be…
Hopefully, the chart shows up in this email. I like looking at the past…as you know. And uncannily, this market is tracing out many election years. Now…we only adhere to what the market shows us but I thought this was a good one to show. If form follows, we get more upside into August…a good…
First leader’s list: AMGN-Too extended and no place to consider here. AAPL- Trying…maybe a $620 pivot but no volume on this move up. AMZN- Putting in a handle inside a bigger handle. ALXN- Should have probed Thursday…into pullback. Up on rumors Friday. BIIB- Still ascending…no place to enter. EQIX- Another could have bought Thursday…
Futures up huge today but not because job’s report. Futures were up big beforehand. The news is simple. Papers across Europe giving cover for the stupidity yesterday stating that printing of hundreds of billions of euros will start soon.

There is no template for trading in this environment. Markets move on words and yapping…and when the yapping doesn’t come through, markets turn. Last week’s gap and move was on the ECB non-stop talk about asset purchases…just like Bernanke does. Markets waited…and today…were disappointed. I don’t know what else to say except we have been…
We now get the ecb before the open so no reason to yap too much. I just have a simple thesis. If breakouts are not kicking and things are not following through, there is your answer. So far, that’s the case. Market remains a pain in the rear…and until that changes, we will continue…

[email_link] This blog has chronicled the dirty dealings of California Dem Rep. Laura Richardson since May 2008, when she bailed on her half-million-dollar-plus, second-home mortgage. She was also a tax-dodger and utility bill welcher. A few weeks later, it turned out that she had defaulted on three home loans while lending her campaign $77,500. A few weeks after that, three defaults…
