About this author:

We are seeing things never seen before on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

+10% on the S&P in 1 session? Are you kidding me? EDIT 3:59 PM: +11%!

Hah... at 12:28 today I wrote

Would it surprise anyone to see the "biggest day gain in history" or "biggest weekly gain in history"?

Anticipating and actually seeing it are two different things.

Unbelievable

- as I wrote again - it might be hard keeping up with the indexes if they move strongly - thankfully we have some big winners today to help keep pace but we'll be taking profits tomorrow morning. As I wrote

Sunday night

The "market" has gotten everything it has asked for the past week - literally all risk going to the governments of the world and off their backs. If "the markets" are not happy with these events, then there is no pleasing them.

It appears the market is finally happy all risk has been thrown onto the taxpayers and off the market participants backs ;)



EDIT 4:40 PM

Just for memories sake I'll post today's performance - I cannot envision another day in history we make 11% in 1 day. (although we made 10% last Thursday betting against the market)



I could make a killing as a side business selling this T-shirt. Don't try to tell me you don't want one...

    Insider language for insider traitor traders has been part of the REAL reason behind the International market volatility...yes, the SECRET IS OUT. Insider language via "those in The Know" that has been linked to manipulation of stocks and commodities via heinous illegal, criminal acts sanctioned, aided and abetted by corrupt elements in governments ESP.the military industrial complex. HOW the RICH get RICHER. Seeking ALPHA, DIA, SPY, RIG...22-51 Wall Street....NO COiNCIDENCE "BABE". Russian Ships to conduct military exercise in November in the Carribean, what convenient timing, while the media reports the banks are hoarding the bailout money. Seem to recall so called OBL communique about a House of Cards and The Disease Will Cure The Body. Don't they sell everything off the ship before they sink it? Seem to recall the coiincidental re-airing of the movie Titanic on TNT recently. WAKE-UP AMERICA!

    NOTE TO CORRUPT MEDIA AND ASSOCIATES REGARDING INSIDER TRADING LANGUAGE LINKED TO HEINOUS ACTS AGAINST THE INNOCENT. THE INNOCENT VICTIMS ARE WAITING FOR JUSTICE. THE HEINOUS ILLEGAL PROGRAMS TO HIJACK, USE, ABUSE, TORTURE, MUTILATE, & MANIPULATE INNOCENT PEOPLES LIVES (including children) CAN AND WILL BE PUBLISHED SO ALL CAN SEE, IF THOSE RESPONSIBLE ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE (NOT JUST FIRED), VICTIMS COMPENSATED, AND THESE HEINOUS NAZI INSPIRED PROGRAMS STOPPED ONCE AND FOR ALL. America is NOT suppose to be about government sanctioned TYRANNY, TREASON, and UNDERGROUND SLAVERY. Lets hear at tonights final Presidential Debate, what the Candidates (who know about this and have been given the evidence along with many other Top Officials) are going to do about this. Those of US who seek JUSTICE will be LISTENING.
