Soros did say he “expected” another 3 months of good times before SHTF

[Uncle Ike]

I lost my shirt on the slots at the casino last week, but this morning, I hit 2-cherries on the first pull...

(Not really - I don’t go to the casino any more — but the metaphor holds... ;))

Looks like the Plunge Protection Team jumped in early.

"Question: Fox News Ticker shows Dow Futures now up 22, after being down 280...why the turn around?"

Two Words: "Sucker Rally"

[Eepsy]

Are you sure you were looking at futures and not Friday’s close?

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Where did you see the DJIA futures on Monday morning down 280?

That would have been a misprint.

I suspect what you are quoting is the DJIA futures from Friday’s trading.

Taking a guess, and typing market is being propped up by an infusion of cash from overseas or an infusion of a hidden monetary stimulus within wall street from stimulus money set aside for a time when a prop would be necessary. One would have thought today would be a day when a prop would be necessary, BUT truly have no idea why market would go up unless wall street knows zer0 is gone after the November election and have not shared that fact with anyone but themselves.

It’s Monday, we’ve opened up the last 3 Mondays off of bad Fridays.

We’ll see if it holds through the day. Even if it does it might be a good time for selling or going short.

Why the reversal? Hope for QE3.

The Fed meets June 20th. The only reason equity markets have been up at all for the past three years is: printing, printing and more printing, accompanied by interest rate suppression and debt monetization via Federal Reserve purchases of Treasury bonds.

Should the market slide extend itself (and especially if short US bond rates go negative), I think it likely that we'll get one more injection of QE liquidity - i.e. - another dose of monetary heroin from our friendly neighborhood dope dealer, Bennie "The Pump" Bernanke.

And it will work - for a brief time; far briefer in fact than the last "fix", which has worn off and left the economy shivering, curled up in the fetal position, sweating and rocking back and forth. After that, there's nothing left but withdrawal. And it's gonna hurt like hell.

QE3 is a done deal.

[Texas Eagle]

Two letters and one number: QE3

Yup. Another "stimulus". Printing more money. Whatever you want to call it.

Dead Cat Bounce????

You are not crazy, no matter what these late risers say. I heard the announcement on the radio this morning at 5am. Futures were down over 280pts. I just checked a few other finance forums and the threads have been deleted!

Do a search, you may still find a few workable links...I don’t have time and by the time I do...it will have all been wiped away.

The Fox News Futures ticker in the morning has been all screwed up recently. Somebody needs to take a look at it. I turn to the Fox Business Channel to get the correct reading in the morning. If you don’t get Fox Business, you can switch for a few minutes to CNBC to get a correct futures reading.
