The Fed Bailout Should Get Approved - The Market’s Reaction Is Critical!

The market is in a holding pattern ahead of the bailout vote. The consensus is that it will get passed. Politicians saw the aftermath of what happened Monday when they voted it down. Yesterday, the market tanked ahead of the Unemployment Report. Every month this year we have witnessed job losses. Last month, nonfarm payrolls fell by 159,000. Analysts had forecasted a drop of 105,000. As people lose their jobs, the credit crisis will spread far beyond subprime. The ramifications of the current credit squeeze will not be seen until next month. The CEO of AutoNation described a very dire situation …

Stock Charts - AA, CELG, CHK, CMI, DRYS, FCX, JOYG, MON, QCOM, TDW, USO

I charted all stocks I have an open position in.  I’ve been getting spanked for more than a month now and have saved myself from losing as much as I could have by selling naked calls.  I would’ve done better by buying some protective puts, but I didn’t.  I’ve sold all my calls far out of the money in the hopes of a rally after the bailout bill passed.  It passed today and we saw the markets sell on the news.  That means I should sell more calls or just get out of some of my losing positions.

Environmental Factors and Chart Reading

I happen to think that charts provide important clues to the behavior of participants in the various financial markets. Of course there are many ways to read a stock chart and consequently it can be more of an art than a science, so when I see some related scientific studies, I tend to take note of their conclusions. One example is Do You Want to Believe? which appeared today in Science Friday.com and discusses an experiment in which subjects had varying degrees of control over their situation and were tested on how likely they were to see imaginary images embedded in snowy pictures …
