Q:Is it Spring in Pamplona, 113 degrees in Phoenix, or are the Bulls just Smokin' Hot on Wall Street?

A:It's not spring in Spain, it will be 116 degrees tomorrow, and the Bulls are about to get Smoked Like Salmon. Just ask any Bear...

All I really know is this -
"We are definitely headed higher unless we start to break down."

Seriously? Yes, according to the guys on TV. What's even stranger is the fact that some people actually attempt to trade off such vaguery. Are you guilty? Admit it now and feel better soon. Seriously.

Partners meeting tonight. No time for chit chat. See ya' there...

E-Mini S&P 500: Will exhilaration lead to acceleration?

The E-Mini S&P 500 had surges of optimism throughout the day as reports came in to validate the growth possibilities! The Initial Jobless Claims only fell by 1,000, which was better than a week before, but under analyst expectations. The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago reported that it was up 61.1 from 56.6 in May.

Rocky start but we finished with a flourish. I had dinner last night with Sheriff Joe. The previous evening he dined with Ted Nugent. Based on the LinkedIn theory of relativity I'm now one degree from cat scratch fever. Right? Is that how that works? Hello! Is this thing on........ (tap tap)

We went a little politico today talking guns and immigration and I do understand that some members of our audience get a little rattled when we go down that road. You shouldn't. You should get warm and fuzzy. Why? Not because of what we say, but because you and I both live in a country (at least some of us do) where I can have my opinion, you can have yours, we can discuss them openly and freely, and we don't wind up in shackles because of it. Well, most of the time anyway.

CFRN Emini FuturesCast 06/28/11

We're back... and sitting tall in the saddle after 5 days of techno-hell. No sense taking up white space here, just click the headphones and hear all about it (twice).

I get questions 'bout dem zones from time to time...

Stuff like, "Do they work?"
To which I answer playfully, (if I'm not in a mood) "No they lead a life of leisure and hedonistic pleasure. They've never worked a day in their life."

Huh? Exactly!

People respond to my answer the same way I respond to their question.

Take a hammer. Well don't take it, borrow it, or buy it. Chances are you already have a hammer. Right? In fact some of you might even have specialty hammers. Claws and mallets and such. Now let me ask you this about your favorite hammer.

Hope you all had a great Father's Day! If you listen to nothing else you should at least listen to the song at the beginning of today's broadcast. It's a ripper......

We covered all the markets. Nailed the low, nailed the high, and then hit on a few philosophical high points. This one should be on a t-shirt but as David pointed out, we probably won't get around to it.

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."
