Well predicted moon, red across my watchlist today. I noticed MoneyPenny last posted when the fed said they were extending the QE. Must have had some very profitable longs and left for a private island ;)

MoneyPenny hurry back I miss my morning reports  :'(

Nah, being omni-present and all, I thought I didn't need to give forum notice.;D

It's all in the name of marital bliss, one of those unwritten rules nobody told you about, i.e.: when your husband is on leave, so are you = no trading. >:D But never fear, I peek in forum & challenge from time to time, ??? what is going on anyway?

See you soon, go well. ;)

It feels like a time of reckoning and disintegration for me with the US government going into shutdown last week as Congress and the White House could not even agree to a budget deadlock discussion, let alone come to an agreement. Time is running out and come Oct 17th with the debts ceiling limit being hit, well, you figure it out.  Dow was at an all time high @ 15,709 two weeks ago, broke 15,000 last week.

And then there is the tale of gold. You would be forgiven if you thought that all these ramifications would be an ideal environment for gold to rise, but – and it’s a big but:  On Tuesday October 1, around 8am it was reported that some invisible entity put in an order to sell a humongous 8,000 contracts of gold on the COMEX. That is 800,000 ounces of gold, or about $1B, yes that’s right, billion. With no liquidity in that market at that time, it resulted in gold tumbling rudely to 1276 within 24 hours (lowest since 7 August).  Some dark knight ruthlessly covering shorts perhaps? You decide.

Talk about disintegration.  Don’t forget about comet ISON, also known as ‘Comet of the Century’s get-together with Earth around 28 November. As a sungrazer, it was expected to be so bright that it would be visible in broad daylight but latest is that the comet seems to be losing ‘steam’, :D so it will either be a sizzle or a fizzle, almost like the markets. Time will tell but respect either way, it’s a new comet fresh from the Oort cloud and it’s visible to amateur astronomers, so dust off your telescopes.

China national holiday today and rest of Asian markets all red except for Shanghai (prev close), gold @ 1314, US futures red, IGT40 @ -150.

Moon’s F&G @ 35 Fear, same as last month, previous week @ 28 Fear so I’m guessing investors feel better for now.

No other significant eco reporting today.

Interesting, never knew we had one coming. Beware of Nike wearing cult loonies!

Looking dangerous ..

Quote
European stocks dropped to their lowest level in almost four weeks as U.S. House Speaker John Boehner ruled out raising the federal government’s debt limit without preconditions. U.S. index futures and Asian shares fell.

Boehner, the Republicans’ leader in the House of Representatives, continued to demand changes to President Barack Obama’s health-care act before agreeing to extend the borrowing authority. The Treasury has said it will exhaust measures to avoid exceeding the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling on Oct. 17. If that happens, the U.S. will run out of money to pay all of its bills at some point between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

“We are not going to pass a clean debt limit,” Boehner said in an interview on ABC yesterday. “The votes are not in the House to pass a clean debt limit.”

Asia market and US futures all green and good to go.  Gold @ 1325, F&G 29 - more fear than yesterday, VIX @ +15,95% ouch, IGT40 +28.

No significant eco reporting today, new highs for TKG, Steinhoff, CML, Netcare.

Oh boy ! (but I can understand Boehner's stance).

"House Speaker Boehner says we are on path to default based on president's position of not negotiating over the debt limit"
