Wheeeeeee!!! So much fun to trade a volatile market. Already this morning (7:30) we picked a quick $1,000+ trading the Futures in our Live Member Chat Room and that's always a nice way to start the day but we stopped out Gasoline ( /RB ) with just over $200 per contract on a 15-minute trade and Oil ( /CL ) contributed $110 per contract and the indexes were good for a quict $150-250 each between 7:17 and 7:34 . Now we're looking for a pullback and our 7:17 entries were: Well, we're re-testing Wednesday's lows so hopefully a little bounce here at 24,600, 2,650, 6,750 and 1,470 so I'd go long the laggard here but very tight stops below. Also /CL over the $66.50 line and /RB $1.785 are both fun longs for a Friday. Watch the Dollar though, we don't want to see it over 96.50 and VIX under 22 would be nice too! We've got GDP at 8:30 and last quarter was 4.2% and this quarter we'll be lucky to see 3.3% and it's likely to be downhill from here but the question is – has the drop to 3.3% been realistically priced into the market and, sadly, I don't think it has. Certainly any print below 3% would cause a new wave of panic and over 3.5% will be relief – so that's the zone we're keeping our eye on. Google (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) disappointed on earnings last night with AMZN dropping 10% pre-market. Netflix (NFLX) is down too, mostly because it's got a 100x p/e ratio and people are starting to realize how stupid that is and that does not bode well for other Nasdaq high-fliers, who may actually be held to realistic standards as they report, which can lead to that next …
