Market Open About 1301

August 12, 2008 9:32 AM

I believe the high will “likely” be reached early on today. I doubt we will clear 1305 or so to the upside here, we will see.

    Already spiked down to 1299. It seems a bit early to short this thing, but i believe the high may have already been reached, but not certain yet…

  2. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:35 am

    It needs to hold 1297.75 here as i see things…

  3. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:37 am

    Just going to have to wait a bit longer here…

  4. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:39 am

    It bounced because of 1297.75 i believe….this is going to take a bit of time unless we push through it

  5. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:40 am

    im short 1297.75 (paper)

  6. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:42 am

    hmmm reversed….I am not wrong as i see things unless we clear 1301 and soon…

  7. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:46 am

    hmmmm strength here “should be nonsense…but we have short term chart reversal off the low….skeptical it can last..

  8. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:50 am

    This is where “if real money” you need balls of steel as I “should be correct here…longer term

  9. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:53 am

    Come on stop this nonsense….we need to push through the low to get the short term and “support” players to give up

  10. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 9:55 am

    come on get down there…

  11. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:01 am

    Need to get below 1298.25 to break this trend get some heat

  12. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:05 am

    Man, the short term players just wont give up on this low

  13. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:06 am

    Ugh this is complete nonsense…

  14. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:07 am

    If we clear 1301.75, I am in trouble, short term, obviously, but this move is nonsense and not supported…

  15. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:12 am

    Come on give it up…you are wrong…why waste time here…

  16. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:14 am

    oil is down, giving the longs hope is what appears to be going on….

  17. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:26 am

    come on….take it out…

  18. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:28 am

    this is such bullcrap…take it out…

  19. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:29 am

    Thank you….ha

  20. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:30 am

    I covered at 1295.50…NOt because i believe it is the low…but it may bounce again….

  21. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:31 am

    Watch it plunge now…ha

  22. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:32 am

    Of course, 1294.25…ha

  23. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:35 am

    Considering i believe we “may” have already seen todays high….covering was stupid, most likely…I was just hoping for a bounce

  24. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:36 am

    We may reverse here….but we have to clear 1301.75 to change today, as i seee things..

  25. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:39 am

    i still believe we have seen todays high…if you recall, i said we would most likely see todays high early…. but there is plenty of what i call “free space” for a move higher here…

  26. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:41 am

    The next trade is likely to be a while from now as i see things….this is when you turn the pc off and take a nap, lol

  27. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:50 am

    The low is fairly important it should try and hold, near term BUt again we HAVE to clear 1301.75 to change the days outcome, IMO

  28. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:55 am

    I should have scalped a half long there…. ohhh well

  29. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 10:58 am

    i knew I should have went long, traders were going to defend this low, for now

  30. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:00 am

    Today is why I may have to drink in the morning to trade…ha.

    I was going to cover if we cleared 1301.75. While the move would have made zero sense, on any level, the market can make moves that are not supported and short covering can pile on…it hit 1301.75 several times…and I had my finger on the button…it didnt clear and down she went…. If real money you HAVE to have extreme discipline with the SP…you have to know when you are wrong….even if it makes no sense… short covering can lead to huge moves that are nonsensical. They wont last, long term, but you have to cover if that happens…

  31. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:05 am

    The longer we trade sideways here, it tells me we are likely to push lower - eventually..

  32. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:07 am

    i went long, i think we will make a run at 1300

  33. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:10 am

    I took a point….no reason to “invest” here…

  34. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:12 am

    That is where you have to ignore everything….I saw the low was important you have to be long against it…i was…it sold down and i covered as i saw a trend break…ughhhhh…trends are like rock paper scissors…. Lows cover paper and crush scissors, lol

  35. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:18 am

    This is a battle between 1294.25 and 1301.75….yawn

  36. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:19 am

    If we do clear 1301.75 we change the trends for the day i believe…

  37. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:27 am

    if we clear 1301.75 i believe we will go to at least 1303.50, possibly higher…

  38. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:29 am

    Here we go…1301

  39. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:29 am

    1301.50…backed off…

  40. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:32 am

    Hmmm….why didnt i short 1301.50? what a moron…anyhow….it appears shorts may panic a bit if we get over 1301.75…but it depends when it happens…

  41. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:35 am

    oil is getting crushed…lifting the markets…patience here…

  42. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:38 am

    someone nudge me if we clear 1301.75 to hit the long button… i may be sleeping…

  43. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:41 am

    i do not believe we will clear the low here…

  44. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:44 am

    Hmmm. if we clear 1301.75 we may test yesterdays high…im not sure

  45. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:46 am

    1298.50 appears important here…short term

  46. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:47 am

    i think we are going to take out the high…but i shouldnt “guess”….

  47. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:48 am

    im long 1299.50…

  48. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:50 am

    this is where i mess up…there is no reason to be short OR long here….we have to either clear the high or the low…period… everything else is noise…

  49. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:56 am

    see…what a knucklehead….forget what you believe… and have patience…

  50. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 11:59 am

    i will be lucky to get out of this nonsense trade….I lose my patience….

  51. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 12:04 pm

    I flattened, that was complete stupidity….patienceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee geez

  52. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 1:19 pm

    Has the paint dried yet? Man….

  53. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 1:24 pm

    Ok, we might finally start moving here…amazing…

  54. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 1:30 pm

    I mentioned long ago that this was a battle between 1294.25 and 1301.75 BUT I didnt expect it to last for hours…lol amazing boredom

  55. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 1:46 pm

    It looks like if we can get back above 1298 we may challenge the high…but this is amazing how it refuses to move

  56. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 1:55 pm

    If the market was like this every day, people would be better off to decide at the open…ok…down 75…everyone go home…this is some serious bs

  57. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:12 pm

    what in the world is the point of this… 3 hours and not move?

  58. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:23 pm

    hit 1294.25 on the nose and bounced…

  59. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:24 pm

    wow, bounce is an understatement…. 1297 in about 10 seconds…

  60. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:25 pm

    1298 still seems to be key here…

  61. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:27 pm

    1298.25…i think we are going up into the close…

  62. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:28 pm

    If we clear the high, shorts should cover big time

  63. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:30 pm

    I believe that was confirmation that was todays low…I just dont know if we can get over the high here…

  64. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:40 pm

    we have to clear 1299 to maybe challenge the high, as i see things…

  65. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:45 pm

    hmmmmm we better hold the low or i have no idea what will happen….

  66. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:51 pm

    the charts appear to be set up for a sizable move into the close…

  67. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:57 pm

    I havent seen anything like this in a longggg time…

  68. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 2:59 pm

    low cleared…amazing…i got demolished

  69. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 3:02 pm

    If i would ONLY take things were i am certain I wouldnt lose…what a retard, lol

  70. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 3:02 pm

    amyhow, we need to hold here… 1290.75 is important, as i see things…

  71. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 3:12 pm

    Hit 1290.75 on the nose…never mind, cleared….this doesnt look good…

  72. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 3:19 pm

    this low is a nonsensical “support bounce….why people trade that crap is beyond me

  73. Tom@StockBlade.com on August 12th, 2008 4:00 pm

    Well, I made more bad trades today than seems possible….I lost my patience….when it wouldnt move….live and learn

Got something to say?
