Its almost like the market is expecting bad earnings..  Embarrassed

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/apple-angst-expectations-remain-extreme

these are high expectations.

fundamentally its clear that the global economy is slowing and their earnings will slow.  that won't stop pump monkeys from ramping the stock after earnings however.  

technically, according to my cycle theory, we still have more downside to go before this daily trading cycle is complete in the Dow. if Apple were to pop from earnings it would drag the Dow up with it invalidating the cycle.  thus, i am going to stay short.  i can sustain a ramp back up as i have done really well the past couple of weeks.

good luck everyone.  this is indeed an important earnings report.

I would be very careful holding an apple short into earnings. I actually lightened up my short a little bit in anticipation of a little pop that I would just short into again. Still holding a very heavy short position though since popping bubbles are highly unpredictable.

My argument is from a charting perspective:

As of this moment, the structure off the top is only 3 waves (corrective) and the 2nd wave up isn't really divided into 3 noticeable waves which brings up the possibility that we are dealing with a running flat right here (if the price is destined to head a lot lower) and that we are currently in the B wave down before a quick C wave back to $600 - $610 before the real carnage begins in a larger degree wave 3/C down that should take us to the daily 200sma at around $450.

Fed meeting conclusion and statement this week, Wednesday. Getting a chubby over a $10-15 move down in gold before then earns you a cold shower.

Can't let dollar evaporate too quickly. Can't let gold rise with stocks. Can't let equities plummet. Surgical precision impossible in the world's massively interconnected financial system. Multiple factors reducing maneuverability and more are appearing.

All hands on deck, brace for impact. Nobody is to know what happened or is happening. Confidence and faith must be maintained at all costs.

Bracing = accumulating gold, mining stocks, and real assets like land and oil.

Fundamentals always overwhelm technicals at the end of the cycle.

It's every man/institution for himself financially.

I'm not sure why I didn't think much of it before, but the bitcoin bubble last year started inflating almost *exactly* when the silver bubble burst. I don't think that was coincidence.

Whatever correlation there may be with gold is less clear. Waiting for more data...

Maybe like that Dorian Grey story.  QE is keeping up some appearance of health and vibrancy, but behind the facade the actual corpus is decomposing to a thoroughly putrid state.

Actually, as I remind myself of the story by looking it up on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Picture_of_Dorian_Gray, I think it more fitting to consider the reserve currency status of the USD as the mojo which allows various malfeasance...including QE.  So to slightly re-arrange the wikipedia text:

  "Bernanke's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts."

Dorian Gray, scarily apropos - I like it!

Wo ho ho!!! Cheesy

we're comin for ya baby!:

Sooner or later you're just going to have to admit that what one does, the other approximates - like the dynamic between gold and silver Tongue

Now about that mystery miner...

Cypherdoc is obviously right. The US government is going to reverse their deficit very soon:



No need for inflation to monetise debt. But if the government doesn't drastically cut spending to balance the budget then they will default obviously because the federal reserve wont do as it's supposed to...

And all other governments are obviously going to follow by balancing the budgets and allowing banks to fail. They will use a deflationary fiat system and will not return to a gold or silver standard. Governments obviously hate inflation, they hate banks despite either being made up of bankers or receiving a lot of lobbying/political donations from banks and they hate deficits.

It's so obvious, why didn't I think of this before!
