.... went short acct2 held long acct1 on EU going to ride it down to the daily TL.. then see

prrrrrrrrobably should have done this like... 10 hrs ago

If I don't see / feel / hear something soon (my computer cpu fans speed up when the action picks up).
on EU...think I am gonna just park this and wait... 100 pips diff between ave buy and sell at present.

If we can get to the 2900 area (exit to then be re-evaluated) I will blow out the long for 175 pips and double up on my short for the ride down.

Doubled up...break-even point on short would be about 60 pips on the short. (sharing to teach if anyone should have the need or desire)

Apple is proving fundamentals mean nothing. The whole move is technical,, its tumbling and so if you they don't get out now... the fund will be in the red for the year and no xmas toys.

The FHA is Blowing Up: Bad News for the Housing Market
Posted on November 15, 2012

A very important article came out from the Wall Street Journal yesterday titled “FHA Nears Need for Taxpayer Funds,” and it outlines the serious financial problems facing the Federal Housing Administration. For those that are unaware or need a refresher, the FHA has been the key element to the phony “housing recovery” the government has been trying to create. In the wake of the collapse of 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac blew up and what was left to pick up the pieces was the FHA. No private player would issue loans with down payments of 3%, but this was no problem for the FHA!


^^ I added emphasis above.

based on a week bar... is it not a long bias?

Also.. this week breaks the weekly TL
a long is counter. based on the st move alone. a bounce at 2745 area is norm..

So far (as my eyes can see) the last push down on daily bar has the low perfectly touching TL. Which is yesterday's mid price minus
10.x pips (at least interesting to ponder)

Now need to watch PA as we head into the open.

kumbaya!

apple == oxygen

Never! Not unless people were overexposed. Apple a day won't keep that doctor away!

Apple has more cash in "the" bank than any BANK on the planet probably has in the bank. Apple makes hardware. More relevant...and far reaching hardware than most manufacturers on the planet...car ones included. If Apple goes...or does mass (under-paid)-layoffs overseas...shit'll get real. Bring that work home...to the USofA? You going to send your granddaughter to work in that factory that can't keep up with manufacturing demands...for peanuts an hour in China, Taiwan, Brazil..?

Its just a flash of what we've turned this world into...all of us.

Trying days ahead. At least the President knows which drawer the pens are in.
