DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

will some kind person please put a bloody heavy lead weight on the s&p i did ask nicely :-)

Cement shoes -portland cement and lead weights -i am adding them as well.Megabuks pull the string down.

team work,down she goes :-)

As i said before i hope it goes lower than monica lewinsky ( cf.bill clinton) ever did as i have got 2 shorts daily dow at 9721 and 9709. i think i was a bit too hasty. My plan is to close them in positive asap-before they come from lunch.

done a currency dec Euro/USD long at 11775. -lets see what happens.

For real, zarif or are you using a trade simulator?

unfortunately snoball its for real. The 9721 short keeps coming into credit but am being greedy to see if it goes a touch lower than close them off.

If the Dow closes above 9688 I will go long at the close.
That is a long signal on the 'system'.
I'm going to call the 'system' the 'ma2 system' in future.
The 61.8% Fib is at 9650 so its looking bullish again if the price stays above it.
Of course anything can happen, especially on the Dow.

hmmmm.....tricky one.

Mega Buck, I think you'll need to phone the Feds.

On the other hand, maybe not!
Blimey, i'm glad i'm out. I hate this sort of day.

Gotta go. food beckons. back at the close.

closed the shorts at 9710 at min profit -saved by the egde of my teeth.

Nicely done, zarif.

It would seem Finspreads Website has gone down AGAIN!

I think the problem is heavy usage but a nuisance nonetheless, Harlosh.
I had to phone to get my order on but it seems to be ok now as I went in to check my open orders.

The ma2 system has signalled a buy so I am long Dec future @ 9749.
I've put in a wide stop as I will be away from my computer at the open and I think there will be a fairly big drop - at least 50 points from todays close.

Snoball: Did you see the spike down at about 21.18 -down to 9666 area.

No I didn't zarif. Not surprised though. Big bullish candles are often followed by quite large corrections. Profit taking, I suppose.
My stop is at todays low so I hope it doesn't get hit before tomorrow morning.
I wanted to lower the stop this evening but couldn't.
Fins are still having problems.

Have you got your Metastock software installed yet?

Afternoon everybody.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is off 4 points, or 0.04%, to 9744.01, the Nasdaq Composite Index is up 2 to 1949.18 and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index has shed less than a point to 1051.73. Small-cap stocks are rising.

On the economic front, the third-quarter Gross Domestic Product rose by an 8.2% annual rate, spurred by powerful business and consumer spending. The figure, revised upward from 7.2%, is the biggest surge since a 9% gain in the first three months of 1984.

There are a number of deals to report, including Citigroup, which gained 26 cents to 46.99 after announcing plans to acquire the consumer-finance operations of Washington Mutual for $1.25 billion. Washington Mutual has lost 90 cents, or 1.9%, to 45.65.

Independence Community Bank has lost 1.74, or 4.5%, to 36.90 after agreeing to acquire Staten Island Bancorp for $1.5 billion in stock and cash, or $23.88 based on Friday's closing price, in a move expected to expand penetration in the competitive New York and New Jersey markets. Staten Island is ahead 1.92, or 9.3%, to 22.50.

Eastman Kodak has lost 35 cents, or 1.4%, to 24.17 after plans to buy the digital printing unit of Scitex for $250 million in a deal that Eastman Kodak said will be slightly dilutive to earnings in the first year of the merger. Scitex has jumped 47 cents, or 10%, to 5.47.

On the earnings front, Semtech has gained 45 cents, or 1.8%, to 24.91 after the semiconductor maker reported better-than-expected profits as third-quarter sales rose 8%.

Novellus Systems has gained 36 cents, or 1%, to 43.90 after the semiconductor equipment maker boosted its quarterly earnings guidance, citing stronger order trends in Japan and China.

Eli Lilly has advanced 7 cents to 70.57 and Amylin Pharmaceuticals has gained 44 cents, or 1.6%, to 25.50 after the companies reported positive results from the final Phase III study of exenatide, a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Autodesk has lost 48 cents, or 2.1%, to 22.52 on plans by the software supplier to cut up to 19% its work force and post $37 million in restructuring charges over the next four quarters to cut costs.

Heinz has lost 41 cents, or 1.1%, to 35.26 after the maker of ketchup and other food products' second quarter earnings came in a penny short of Wall Street expectations and revenue, at $2.1 billion, fell below analysts' estimates of $2.2 billion.

Deere has risen 2.10, or 3.4%, to 62.25 after the heavy equipment maker's fiscal first-quarter earnings came in at 27 cents a share, when analysts were looking for 18 cents.
