Cusick’s Corner 08-09-2012
The shorts could not gain any momentum due to the better data and the bulls bounced — the market chopped into the green. I still do not like that action in Consumer Discretionary, XLY, which put the data in a less than rosy light. See you After Hours.
Market action remains mixed through midday. Economic data was in focus early after the Labor Department reported that filings for jobless benefits declined by 6,000 to 361K last week. Economists were expecting an … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Chinese Stimulus Hopes Lift Crude

Posted: 09 Aug 2012 10:26 AM PDT

Thursday, August 9, 2012
Crude Oil futures hit fresh 3-month highs on speculation that China may try to kick-start growth with stimulus. The expectation of a new batch of stimulus spending and Iran’s saber-rattling seems to have many traders’ focus at the present time. However, this may be a bit misguided, especially if inventory levels see significant increases. Some traders may look to upcoming inventory data to bring the market back to earth if things quiet down on the Iranian … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Mortgage Rates, Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Sold DUST @ $46.25 [break Even]

Posted: 09 Aug 2012 07:54 AM PDT

I pitched my shares of Direxion Gold Miner BEAR 3X ETF (DUST) less than 30 minutes ago at my break even price of $46.25.  I’d had a small gain on this trade a couple times in the past 4 days but when it looked like I was going to be thrown under the boat another time I decided to say enough.
