Emini FuturesCast / The Daily Pod 06/17/11

Triple Witching came and went today with little fanfare. For those who don't know, the term refers to the expiration of stock index futures, some of the stock index options, and some individual stock options on the third Friday of every third month. We covered the Weekly Trading Zones in depth on today's show and we hosted a huge open house event with a tremendous turnout. To all of you who dropped in or stopped by it was great to see you and we hope to see more of you soon. Now on to the show...

Today's broadcast is best described as succinct, perhaps a little nasal... otherwise, pretty darn strong.

"Go ahead caller..."

The "He Just Can't Give It A Rest" Column

It's true. I really can't. People spend tens of thousands of dollars, years of their life, and untold angst trying to figure out some kind of way to simply succeed at this trading business. I mean seriously, if I've heard it once I've heard it 1,724 times -

"Just show me a way to take 2 points a day average out of the market
and I'll be deliriously happy and financially snappy for the rest of my life."

Your happiness is the most important aspect of your life. Why do I say this? Because if you really examine everything you do, and everything you want to have, I would bet that it's because you believe doing and having those things will make you happy. Am I right?

If you want a new car, or a new relationship, why do you want those things. Ultimately, it's because you believe these things will make you happy. Being happy is really the main goal of pretty much every living person on this planet earth.

Once you understand that happiness is your true goal, you also start to understand that new stuff, new relationships, and new achievements aren't really what you are after. Sure, they might be nice side benefits, but if you were happy now, would any of that stuff really matter to you much?

3 Forces of the Universe - we finally had the talk. A mini talk anyways. We've been short on time the past 2 days but tomorrow, barring anything unforeseen, we'll kick it for as long as it makes sense. Welcome to the new listeners who may be joining us for the first time. If you are using the new release of Firefox 4 you may encounter some streaming issues. Firefox is a great browser and they almost always get it right. However, with the release of 4 things broke across the internet from Major Banks to CFRN. Mozilla has issued a fix which we would encourage you to install here, if it worked. You can still use older versions of Firefox without a hitch as well as IE and Google Chrome which is becoming our own new personal defacto favorite go-to browser. It's fast, intuitive, sleek, and it works. What else do you need?

If you are not a Firefox user this will all be quite boorish so just jump on down to the good stuff or go listen to the podcast, or both.

Da' Bears Back to Back

We talk about the Sentiment Indicator quite a bit. The reason? It works!

Have a look at Friday's action. The market rallied right up to our "line in the sand" at 1271 and then tanked 8 points to 1263.

Big Day under the Big Top. Ready?  Woke up hit the iPad in bed to check the daily incoming...  email from Netflix says "Thx very much for your business your credit card has been declined there will be no more streaming for you, please drop dead." Oh snap! Called the bank who admitted I had been so quiet for so many years just paying my bills on time and never asking for anything they weren't quite sure I was real or ever was real and yes all cards and lines were severed 3 days ago. Seroiusly? Went through Employee 1 to Employee 2 to Employee 3 who finally said, "I see you're a business customer". Why yes I am. "Well sir it seems your call has been routed to the wrong department. In fact, I need to transfer you to another state." Would that be the state of confusion or fear or both? Talked to Level 1, Level 2 then the almighty get 'er done Level 3 employee who confirmed that yes indeed it was all true and not only would there be no more Buster Keaton marathons, but life as I knew it would pretty much cease to exist going forward.

Great show! First live call in edition. Hats off to Alan M. for having the courage to step up to the mic and be the very first listener to break wind over the CFRN Air-Waves. One small step for Alan, a giant leap for Emini Traders around the globe. Don't be shy, unplug your headgear from the gaming console and bring it to the show tomorrow. 

We covered the break in the S&P, the Limit Up day in Corn, the drop in the Euro, the Bean dip, as well as other various and sundry markets. We of course indulged in our typical highbrow rat-a-tat that has become our trademark. You're right, it's more of a birthmark. But hey, we wear it well right?

Today we chatted with our friend and attorney Chris Olsen, spoke to David Williams in a post-seminar world, gave all the markets our typical once over and reached a firm agreement to return tomorrow and repeat the process perhaps with more of a flourish...

Apple really stole the day and potentialy changed the way the world will compute. Forever! That box on your desk or even the one in your hands are destined to become really smart/dumb devices that will simply transport you and your stuff to and from the cloud. Not just any cloud mind you... the iCloud.  Amazon and Google are a little bit concerned tonight. GO STEVE!

XOXO,

Apple FanBoy

I've been jovial and jocular these past few days but tonight I need to be serious. You may find us engaging, entertaining, or even silly. It doesn't matter. Between the clever comments and questionable humor, we deliver Trading Knowledge that you simply won't find anywhere else. The good, the bad, the reality, that's what we bring to the table. Our podcasts contain over 2,000 hours of Trading Truth. Follow us and you'll quickly learn what works and what doesn't. You'll learn the difference between possibility and probability. Our goal is not to teach you how to beat the market or even to outsmart it, because the bottom-line is, you can't. It's just too big. And that my friend is how we help you turn your human fraility and weakness into supernatural strength. We teach you not how to fight, but how to flow.

Like a bamboo tree, our strength is in our flexibility.
