Indices near high of the day, ignoring HFT daily bond rate manipulation of futures....

Its almost like a bad dream, which keeps repeating every morning. Futures down 120 then erasing all of the losses.

Europe bond mess may continue for another six months, till everything gets reset.

S&P 500 low today was1243.52, currently its @ high of the day.

US data keeps getting better & there is selling fatigue on European mess.

Internals are mixed with Nasdaq giving better internals.

Always remember, how we close defines any market.

Oil @ high @ $102 UP $2.63

Canadian $ UP 12 tick @ 98.07

VIX Down 1.99% @ 30.60

Saleem,

What happened? I did not see the action of the final hour. I went to lunch and came back. All of my portfolio are in RED. Thursday and Friday will be more damage. Well, I am holding. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

IF you read my comments both in BLOG & in replies was very clear that financials are in deep trouble because of European exposure......

That is what Fitch is pointing out after my many comments.

Saleem,

Thanks. I saw Fitch's comment. You had pointed out yesterday and moved away from MS. A wise decision that I should follow. Do you think this a a game plan that MM/HFT and Fitch tried to put together for the option week?

Hi Michael,

I put MS as my heaviest position if you look @ my BLOG ahead of PCLN, i thought that after Greece & italy fix..financials will take off in a hurry......BUT sadly TAPE was telling me the-opposite.....

I never fight the TAPE with any stock be it RIMM,MS......IF it is not working...it is wise to get out which i did.

In this crazy market one cannot second guess......i was so troubled by financial TAPE that i went against my nature to point out negatives about financials...hoping that someone will benefit from my action & take on financials...although i had 0 exposure.......

I do not think financials have any near term catalyst...trend is certainly negative.

Good luck with your decision.
