I think this is extremely bearish news. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-0...reasuries.html U.S. Investment Outflow Reaches Record as China Sells Treasuries By Kasia Klimasinska Aug 15, 2014 8:00 AM CT 1 Comment Email Print Google+ Save The U.S. posted a record cross-border investment outflow in June as China and Japan, the two top foreign holders of Treasuries, sold U.S. debt. The total net outflow of U.S. securities and banking transfers was $153.5 billion, after an inflow of $33.1 billion the previous month, the Treasury Department said in a report today. China’s holdings of U.S. Treasuries declined by $2.5 billion to $1.27 trillion, while Japanese holdings dropped $600 million to $1.22 trillion, according to Treasury report today. Holdings in Belgium climbed to $364.1 billion, the report showed. Investors in Treasuries lost 0.1 percent in June, according to Bloomberg World Bond (BUSY) Indexes. The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index, a gauge of the greenback’s value against 10 major currencies weighted by liquidity and trade flows, lost 0.7 percent in June. To contact the reporter on this story: Kasia Klimasinska in Washington at kklimasinska@bloomberg.net To contact the editors responsible for this story: Chris Wellisz at cwellisz@bloomberg.net Brendan Murray, Mark Rohner Soros has also built up a record high SPY put position. |

Intl' finance will prob f us. The excessive MS coming from foreign country would one one of the bubble. Let's just look at the extreme case scenerio.
Extreme case would be if countries drop USD for oil would be one. It will flood the dollar back into our country PLUS all the crap we printed out.... lol However, more immediate and realistic ones I see right now are: -shift in sector/funds. High betas down, defensive goes up. We've almost reached relative maximum. -Retail sector gets hit consecutively (happening for past 3trading days). Just look at DDS, M, JCP, WMT, TGT, etc. Quote:

So we just bought 40k shares of tvix @ $2.73. We'll see how that plays out
Also, I casually mentioned that we enlisted the services of an Edward jones financial advisor a couple of months ago. I figured I would give you her stock picks for free. So apparently as of last week she's long on coca cola, Pfizer, and verizon. All three are dividend paying stocks (although that can change any day). Coca cola actually gained about 5% since she bought shares for us so that's a good start. Pfizer and Verizon are around the same price. Verizon's dividend is at 4.9% at the moment, but who knows when that will change. Since Edward jones charges an outrageous 2.5% front end commission for each trade, she made these picks with the intention of holding them for several years. Note: buying tvix was not her idea. That's just a fun little high risk experiment we're doing. If we lost 100% of our tvix position it wouldn't matter. She also bought shares in several mutual funds but I won't bore you with that. I couldn't tell you why she chose coca cola, verizon, and Pfizer. I'm just the messenger |

TVIX is little too early for my taste, but I am sure it will play out well. I think TVIX is probably better than proshare shorts or any other bear ETFs.
I guess the EdJones FA loves "Blue Chips" OR EJ analyst sees bear or corrections near future ,and FA is recommending to go defensive. I agree. 2.5% is really steep! I am long on AMD, and plan to own Sprint within 2-6days. I am very tempted to short TMUS at this time. Quote:

A significant intermediate top coming soon...I will guess SPX 2028.26...lol.
Then a "scare everyone shitless" selloff this fall(a decent selloff this time(unlike previous tops)...then a run towards all time highs again...then grab the popcorn cause you better bet on "the top" and a recession. But for a short while longer, the longs are good. |

1. Taser. I didn't buy it, but Axom sales speculations after Furguson problem made 30% in 4-5 days possible. GPRO on similar boat. I really do not like the Taser X2 and X3 model at the price. PD or ind officers has to buy new equipment and new cartridges which cost more than X26/M26 models. That is a huge turn off. Most of big dept at least in CO aren't upgrading it. Co. Springs is only one major dept which upgraded their taser device.
2. After ^GSPC hits 2000, Which it can happen within 5 trading days, I believe it can go upto 2080-2100 from sheepies increase in share demand (getting out of sideline). 2100 GSPC is off of the Traditional Technical, but I think it will happen. New $ getting into the market is always welcome, but also need to be more cautious. 3. AMD steady gain. $4.27 is good. Bought @ 3.80s Still as planned. Plan to get rid of it 4.80ish. (after doing MY TA, options move, shorties activities , etc). 4. Sprint. I know some of traders who trade base on Traditional Technical got burned on Sprint after -18% day. It was about week (or so ) ago. From MY chart, I think I will probably get on it within 4 trading days. Investors (retail and institution) will focus more on Fundamental on this more than traditional Technical. From cutting profit margin, they will recalculate the gross profit, EBITDA, and EPS. THen they will recalculate the entire Income statement, and review the balance sheet. This justifies the drop beyond the loss after -18% day. However, major deal will be the churn and new contracts. They need to sell it to customer about spectrum, over subscriptions of VZ, TMUS, and etc etcetc etc etc. |

On a technical analysis note, how many of you guys use Volume Profiles? I love using Volume at Price to gauge where stocks could get bounces (the point of control aka POC).

I look at volume carefully. That is one of variable which "some" newbie Technical guys miss. I do not use Volume profile and tpo chart. I mean, I will look at it to see some stock I do not follow, but I do not analyze base on that specific way. It uses 2d graph and apply it in a same 2d chart. (just like HP AND Torque on y-axis respect to rpm on x-axis). I prefer using it in 3D - P(t,v) in Cartesian coordinate. |

If sheepies on the sideline comes in slowly and slowly into the market, it MAY go higher. Basically "all time high" coverage on media is a LURE. I was watching BAC since it was 4's. I miss this one. I never thought.... CONGRATS! Quote:
