From the people who brought you FAZ and FAS, Direxion, has launched triple T-bond ETF’s. \u00a0It’s currently very thinly traded, but so were FAZ\/FAS when they first started. \u00a0I think these will become increasing more liquid, and will provide equity traders with an opportunity to trade bonds for volatility swings on the release of economic numbers and Fed meetings. \u00a0Definitely keep an eye on these.<\/p>\n

The SPY has formed a\u00a03 push wedge, with a negative MACD divergence, \u00a0and could be presenting trader’s with a good risk\/reward entry for a short. \u00a088 was also a level where the SPY failed twice earlier this year.<\/p>\n

A little humor. \u00a0I’ve seen some some pretty good stuff from Dilbert lately. \u00a0Here’s a few more.<\/p>\n

Checking in on the 4 bad bear markets. \u00a0This is the second worst bear market of the past 100 years.<\/p>\n

An interesting article from the Journal talks about the possible\u00a0effects leveraged ETF’s\u00a0may have on the final 30 minutes of the trading day. \u00a0Definitely worth a read.<\/p>\n

According to \u00a0Bespoke, stocks with the\u00a0highest short interest\u00a0have been the leaders in this rally. \u00a0Could this just be a short covering rally? \u00a0We’re not sure yet. \u00a0But they also note that market bottoms have started in similar fashion in the past.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of skepticism on the bank earnings from the last week. \u00a0If one digs into Citi’s numbers, they see that the company actually\u00a0lost money. \u00a0 Goldman did some\u00a0accounting acrobatics\u00a0in order to report stellar numbers. \u00a0There’s also been some questioning on Wells Fargo’s loss reserves. \u00a0All in all, banks beat lowered estimates, but after Goldman’s earnings this past week, things felt like they changed, even if it was just a little.<\/p>\n

China has\u00a0made yet another move\u00a0towards moving away from the US dollar. \u00a0This is something to keep an eye on in the future, as China is the biggest holder of US currency, and a change in their policy would have major effects on US monetary policy. \u00a0This will take some time to play out, but it would be prudent to not ignore this.<\/p>\n
