“I don’t even think there’s anything “sinister” about the 1,060 call…Sounds more to me like the GS crowd simply wants to go on vacation, let the JUNIOR VARSITY clown around between 956 and wherever until Labor Day, then come back and put the hammer down…”

Heh….I agree.
A long passed uncle used to tell me, “Summer is for baseball.”
It’s the only sport w/o a spread.

“The waiting is the hardest part.”

For real, just show me the money already! If we’re going to really get going on the next leg of this “rally”… lets do it with some volume!!! I’ll be happy to take some losses on these shorts, participate in the upside, and move on.

Enough of this pussyfooting around with engineered, pretty little intraday triangle patterns, with no real meat behind them. Enough of this teetering on the brink indecision crap. We need to see some real buying by the bulls, or some real shorting by the bears… otherwise I’m going to go crazy watching this shit everyday.

If we’re going to break out, lets do it with some juice, and I’ll go back to my little cave, suck it up, stop hating on GS, and get long this POS. But not until I see some conviction. Until then, I aint doing shit.

Really… the waiting… it blows.

I think both the bulls and the bears are feeling this right now. The bulls not so much due to the fact we’re up like 6 days in a row, I’m sure they’re loving it… but gotta be feeling a bit nervous and anxious for a big move.

@CC: All the hallmarks of a bear market rally driven by short covering and executed by robots.

Another big rally on light volume. I suppose that does not matter anymore. What’s up is down and down is up. Sounds like my trading account. LOL

“Given the Goldman Call today I figured I’d include this, little past mid year report card but I never saw BR put anything like this up at the end of June and I’m into holding people accountable that make television recs:”

I’m beginning to think that to be an ANALYST all you need is to have is a ruler and a crayon…

Take the 11/07 high…Draw a straight line through the 5/08 high and that line points to 1072 on the SPX on December 31, 2009…

So basically none of these clown give a whiff about fundamentals, they’re happy to let computers trade stocks for them so as to draw nice geometric patterns…

What a joke…(of course, I’m not even going to TRY trading AGAINST that joke except in small pieces until its fully played out)…

Aeolus – I agree, moving forward it’s going to be a mess. We saw the same thing after the .com boom up in SF. There were dozens of high-rises built up through the 90’s and into the early years of the new millennium. City was completely restored, The Embarcadero was turned into a bay-side promenade, new baseball stadium built, new library. Many of those project took until mid-way through the last downturn to finish but new projects weren’t begun until well into the last bubble.
