Can Rick Santelli Teach President Obama Basic Math? by KSMT | This entry was posted on Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 and filed under Economy/Macro/Politics Comments Off

Chicago’s Rick Santelli discusses another way to view the budget with the most simplified view I have seen so far. As I always say, Santelli is a voice of reason on major media television that is so very necessary if we are ever to right this ship in the near future. Kudos to him, yet again, for preaching the truth, even though it is so basic that their should not even be an argument over it. 3rd grade math is all you need to understand this 2 minute segment. Be sure to share this with all your political friends for a nice discussion as just like President Obama says, “The math doesn’t add up.”

Is our government trying hard enough to balance the budget? The debt is piling on while the political games continue putting extra risk on everyone’s future, especially the young kids who are the innocent victims here. Some will talk about how the deficit has been cut under Obama’s watch while others argue the cuts have been pennies. You be the judge.

No one jumping the bids today… so no sense of excitement. From the sell side you see large block orders come in on the limit and sellers can’t front run them fast enough. A lot of it might have to do with the punishment that has been doled out to any stock who even thought about posting a weak guidance. Seeing high PE stocks that were the next “it” taken to the wood shed to be slaughter for 50% in a day shows how bloated we were at the top. This is not remotely the market I pictured today. After such a sound beating one would think bulls would be value hunting. The only stocks show relative strength are the market leaders with low PE’s… and even they aren’t up big. This price action makes me think that 1343 was just a support breach, not a firm bottom that one could trade against.

For CMHTraders – I’m prepared this summer for bad trading and keeping higher levels of cash than usual. Europe situation as you noted and the fear of another US Debt Downgrade/Debt struggles, among others.

Remember a few years ago? The Euro currency gets pounded and our markets nosedive? The Euro rallies and we shoot up? Looks like that trade is reemerging with vengeance. The Euro is FIRMLY weaker here….

AAPL/AMZN: I was able to cover my AMZN short near the lows yesterday and enjoy a rebound towards the close into which I re-initiated the short. This trade is acting more as a hedge against AAPL than a true pairs trade but I still stand by the thesis. These are the only two positions that I have on pre market.

Euro back in the headlines. We really don’t have any of our own macro data to dig us out of the whole so buyers will have to step up to reverse the loss. Yesterday we got a turn after lunch. I wouldn’t look for that turn today if the markets violate yesterday’s lows. Bonds are approaching record highs… The problem is that indicator has diverged so much it’s tough to call a top. We were trading at these levels back in September but the market and volatility was infinitely higher. Should the market return to those levels both on a volatility level and absolute value level where are bonds supposed to go? Zero? The 10 year is already trading below inflation rate…. I wouldn’t listen too much to the chatter about bonds MUST come down. Some of the twits saying that are the same ones saying that there must be more QE. Which is akin to having your cake and eating it too.
