    Perhaps we hear about this tomorrow morning before the opening bell? Keep in mind it should not be a surprise to the market as it was expected, but it will be telling to see how the market does react, assuming it's in fact announced.

    This is going to be an interesting week with the election Tuesday. Bearish levels are high as well as the relative and absolute VIX. We got a nice rally last week with some volume. We have some momentum going into election week and I'm still expecting more follow-though.

    October was a tough month for me as I took a stock position early on anticipating a relatively short term trade. I bought a 4% decline the day before the House voted on the bailout package and for about 90 minutes it looked like a great trade. Boy, they sure surprised me. I didn't think this month was ever going to end. But I made it to November with a 100% position in C fund. That gives me one extra trade. Time to claw my way back. Currently about -15% for the year. Not bad all things considered.

    Thought you might get a chuckle outta this

    A local race for Corporate Commisioner has Sam George, Sandra Kennedy and Paul Newman running. The TV/radio ad repeats over and over "Goerge, Kennedy and Paul Newman". What demographic do you suppose they are going for?

    lol, thanks. Hopefully, we can end all the political ads tomorrow. I've had enough myself.

    As far as the market goes, nothing to add really. I suspect we'll see more sideways movement tomorrow as the election results probably won't be announced until sometime after the close. Wednesday will gives us a better idea of where the market stands, assuming there's no election controversy.

    Interesting read here.

    I generally do not allow any news articles to impact my trading decisions. When I post these it's mostly for informational purposes. Sentiment means much more to me when deciding whether to initiate a trade or not. I'm looking for market set-ups based on sentiment and TA.

    One possible scenario tomorrow that would not surprise me is a sell-off pre-election, then take it down early Wednesday to really trap a lot of shorts, shake a lot of weak handed bulls and then rally till the end of the week. Nope, I wouldn't be surprised a bit if we play out that way.

    This is going to be real interesting.

    One begins to wonder just how bad it can get. I'm hoping it's not as dire as some articles paint it like this one.

    I had mentioned last night that we could see some selling in the short term. Indeed there does seem to be a little too much optimism right now as the overseas market and our futures are indicating. I suspect this optimism will be punished before we can make a serious move upward. That's what I'm expecting anyway.

    Europe looks at Obama as the next coming of Christ. But for how long?
    Isn't that always the question. Sell on any rally (not all) is in full effect.
    My next move may be to spread the wealth into a more balanced portfolio
    as opposed to the 100% (I) Fund I now hold. Good Luck CH !

    I just posted in SQ's place about an article on MSM that says an Obama win will spark rallies overseas that will spill over here.

    My comments are very short term. Next couple of days or so and are based on sentiment alone. I am in fact looking for a big move higher beyond that. We could rally and not stop for a few days, but that's not what I'm expecting.
    For our purposes in TSP and given our restrictions I wouldn't attempt to trade around this. I'm staying 100% C for reasons I've mentioned in past posts, but others who are on the sidelines may want to wait and see confirmation of a move higher. Any rally will almost certainly be seen in C, S and I.

    I'm always looking for an opportunity to trade swings. Longer term traders may not be interested in short term pops or dips.

    From StockTiming.com.

    What just reached an critical "Pivot Point"?
    The Volatility Index is at an important "Pivot Point". Yesterday, it closed on a critical 4 week support line.
    What it does today and tomorrow will determine if the S&P 500 falls to the downside and retests the recent lows ... OR, if the S&P 500 breaks through its upper resistance line and makes a possible run to 1100.
    This is the time for you to pay close attention to what happens on the VIX. Our studies show that the VIX has a correlation with the daily amount of Institutional Buying and Selling and more specifically ... the SPREAD distance between the two that occurs. So, the VIX's action will also be an indirect reflection of Institutional activity in the next two days. (Actual Institutional Investor Buying and Selling levels are shown every day on our paid subscriber site.)

    May the force be with us.
