2pm update - such a disappointment

The main indexes are comfortably holding the sp'1680s, which is a clear 10pts above what was initial resistance. Baring a weekly close back <1670, the bears look done. As ever, the games being played on Capitol Hill are causing havoc for traders attempting to short 'reality'.

Summary

It sure doesn't look good. Even if we sell down to 1670 at the Friday open, bears are facing the threat of a provisional agreement before this week comes to a close.

Sure they will still have to vote on it, but it looks like Boehner has already made the decision. The only thing left now is for King O' to accept the six week can-kick offer, and why wouldn't he?

*I'm steering well clear of the current nonsense, am absolutely tired of it. The only thing I'm involved with is an SLV short from Tuesday. Metals remain weak, so...for me..today is actually not that annoying.

Interesting video from someone I regularly follow on YT.



I have to say though, I'd rather have a Treasury CEO that was shorting the housing bubble, than one who didn't see it coming!

The two leaders - Trans/R2K both showing very strong gains, confirming the spike-floor from yesterday.

It is a bizarre thought to consider new index highs..yet..here we are..pushing up.
