Trader's Desk Signals, we are running hot!

In our last update I said,"  Lets buy March crude at $39.00 for one unit for now. I missed selling short the $50 handles on Feb crude, I guess I got lazy and didn't go for it." Well believe it we missed the buy by .10cents it hit $39.10 yesterday and turned up. That's the price of playing in the big leages. So we are sitting the bench on oil for now. If you hadn't looked oil March contract hit in the mid 40's today.

SPH09 stock index future.   We said last update,"Let's put an order to buy for one unit ESH09 at $835 and a second at $800."  So, we bought $835 and $800  today it hit in the 840's.

We will sell one at $860 and the other at $880.

In the last update, we were short one TYH09 at 126'15, for now let's put an order to cover at 124 even. It is trading in the mid 124's as I write.

We will leave our cover order at the 124 even.

Real Estate Markets,  there are more scary reports for real estate. Today I heard it will be 10 years for the money the government was putting in, to take affect.  This is a typical talk at a bottoms. I read reports that buyers are out and buying homes in the most percentage declined markets. If money keeps coming in by the Fed. in the  right places, mortgages, homes will sell, then we will build out of this decline and clear out inventory.

Deals are happening, but I think it could get real busy if money shows up. Hopefully soon!

Bergen County real estate needs jumbo loans. The Savings and loans have been filling that bill. Thank God everyone didn't nmarch to the same drum.

The Government needs to work the incentive side of the board. People love incentives.

I love options, there have been such great opportunities lately.  Probably once in a lifetime market opportunities.

Well best wishes to you.  I worked on Wall Street for a while, and then in the NYU Commerce Library.  I am very familiar with what you do, but I took some losses a few years back, and decided it wasn't for me.

Jim,

That is very good wisdom, if the chemistry is not right, don't fight it.

It is just a challenge to me. No different then playing basketball or something like that.

I guest it is also the juice! I spend many hours over the years, refining my skills. It was a distraction from real estate, It helped avoid burnout, I think. You could also say it is an obsession.

Richard - congrats for being hot.  You have made some awesome calls.  There certainly is a lot of opportunity during volatile times.  And yes, lets keep our fingers crossed that some of those funds will make it to the real estate markets !  I think a large tax credit for all purchasors is a good start !
