Yesterday

A WILD RIDE. The Dow opened down 362 points on what appeared to be forced liquidation. As that was going on the TLT opened up $5.80 in what also looking like forced liquidation. Immediately after the open the Dow climbed from the gutter to a negative -108 points (or up 254) within 30 minutes.

After that the CDC decided to hold a press conference to prove what people feared- they are clueless. Immediately after they finished pulling the Ole Sgt. Schultz the Dow fell 150 points and was down 459 points.

After sitting at the lows and the Dow falling below 16,000 the sellers dried up and the market staged a walk back up the stairs. With the Dow down 155 at the end of the day the market backed off a little to close down 173 points.

After cash closed NFLX dumped a bomb on the markets with poor earnings causing the stock to fall 26% in after hours trading. The E-minis followed falling $10 points in the 4:00 to 4:15pm eastern time period. Obviously the cash and Dow stocks were closed so they didn’t fall, but would have fallen 70 points on the news. The Nasdaq fell1% on that news.


So if E-minis are unchanged the Dow will be down about 70 points to catch up. Please adjust accordingly in your head when you see the Dow under or out perform the market.

TODAY

I am starting to get close to thinking the worst is over. The Dow did NOT like being down below 16,000, and the TLT move was what I would bet big money on being a short squeeze and/or forced liquidation. Crude didn’t like be at $80 and bounced.

We have a lot of bank stocks out with earnings today before the open. If there are no negative surprises I think we can shrug off the NFLX disappointment. We will see.

Positives –

  • Octobers are usually up months, even when they start out down.

  • Earnings are coming out and there are not a lot of big negatives, other than NFLX.

  • People are exiting European investments and have to put the money somewhere.

  • People were looking for a drop that has never come. Well, it came. And with bonds yielding never ending low yields who would want to be in a 30 year for 3% or a 10 year for 1.98%?

Negatives

  • Russia is barking again and making threats.

  • People are shaken up and we didn’t hit any really crappy hard bottom. Yes 450 down was big, but that is really only a 3% drop. We had 500 down days many times.

So tonight’s class was about the markets and positions.

Did a couple little things with an unbalanced condor for a credit and a BWB for a small credit. Depending on today’s actions we will sell MEAT.

We should unload our prisons on them. Combine their bikers and our murders, and that would be a fight worth televising.

Attorney Stuff

DISCLAIMER (Seriously!)

Trading is almost as much fun as black jack in Vegas, but without all the annoying distractions of free drinks, Broadway shows, gorgeous people with low morals, and free buffets. It also has about the same odds of success, so when you lose all your money you wont have to walk past a smiling pit boss. Even Bruce Wayne lost everything with options in The Dark Knight Rises, and Superman keeps his day job at the Daily Planet newspaper.

We have the utmost respect for our attorneys who tell us any attempt to trade is throwing money out the window, and investing is risky business (still a great movie). Past performance doesnā€™t mean a thing. The future is even scarier. Random Walk and everyone associated with it promises absolutely nothing. We guarantee nothing. We wont ever do anything right unless it is an accident.

Random Walk only provides education (and a great cup of Starbucks if you visit our office). If you want advice please consult an attorney, licensed broker, Joe Kearnan, tax consultant, investment adviser, etc. Random Walk, LLC is full of morons, dolts, has-been(s), chromosome damaged individuals, thieves, losers, and carnival barkers. Any attempt to find a semblance of intelligence or integrity in Random Walk would be a waste of time. We will sell products, but advise against buying them. We Do Not Give Advice.

When reading this you acknowledge that you agree to hold harmless Random Walk, LLC, its employees, independent contractors, authors, managers, owner(s), spouses, children, cousins, friends, bail bondsmen, and favorite bartender. In fact, you agree to grow up, accept some responsibility for your own actions, and stop believing the media that sells you on how nothing is your fault. You further agree in the antiquated and lost values that America is the land of opportunity and not the land of handouts. You agree any loss in the markets is a result of your own actions as we told you NOT to trade without consulting someone other than us.

All paper trades are SOLELY for example and to illustrate how certain strategies could perform without the benefit of hindsight and back-testing. You agree NOT to trade based on anything we say, do, write, advertise, etc. If we were smart we would be teaching high-school math and making the really big bucks. You agree to abide by the laws of your country and that it is legal to accept this transmission.

Every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, but we are clueless. As a result it would be foolish and impossible to assure the accuracy of any numbers and/or come close to writing a sentence that is grammatically correct. You agree not to get on our case emotionally, physically, spiritually (no Voodoo dolls please) or legally when we screw up. We are doing our best to keep up with evolution, but it is a fast race and we are falling behind. If any of this stuff is too hard to accept please let us know and we will remove you from our mailing list and short term memory.

Random Walk deeply cares about each and every student. We try to keep the selling of products to a minimum. We believe our students are a result of attraction rather than promotion. This does NOT mean that the more attractive you are, the more we promote ourselves (in general).

Our products are written ONLY by floor traders, fund managers and retired floor traders. But that really doesnā€™t mean much. They are expensive and unique. That does NOT mean they (materials) come on a tablet of concrete from Mt. Sinai. . If you are still reading this, you will likely be the first to have gotten this far. No guarantee for accuracy is made. Nothing we do is audited and we make no promise of accuracy.

Because of the proprietary nature of our materials and the ease of electronic copying, all sales are final. There are far too many people who have no problem stealing our materials and putting them on torrents or copying them. These are the same low-life, selfish, whining, half-wit hypocrites that would cry like a newborn with a wet diaper if someone stole their car radio. They have to pay for our materials before stealing them, and live with their karma (and our legal team). Yes, we have caught a few and now have one person working on detective work solely.

Sales are far from our largest concern. If you are a whiner, complainer, or generally unhappy with life please go to someone else in this industry who values money over happiness. We can point you in the direction of other firms that only care about the bottom and top line. Jerry Springer can also point you in the right direction. Besides whiners are a total distraction from the awesome group of students we are fortunate to have. We are truly blessed and thank them (provided that is fine with our lawyers). ā€œThank yousā€ are only handed out in countries where legal and void where prohibited. If your country does not allow ā€œthank yousā€ please refrain from accepting it. This disclaimer is copyright material and not a joke.
