drbubb Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The WEEK OF TRUMP NORQUIST: Week that guaranteed Trump re-election... Republicans emerge as president's biggest obstacle...Senators soften on Obamacare repeal... TOM FORD: Moving back to USA because Trump...Feel more nationalistic...Disenfranchised need to be heard...Whole country not like New York, LA... === === Remember the date of March 13, 2017. It was the day President Trump was guaranteed his re-election and Republican congressional gains in 2018 and 2020. It's not complicated. Follow along. The Congressional Budget Office released its study of Trump and Paul Ryan's plan to repeal Obamacare and begin to reform our healthcare system. It had many numbers. Only two mattered: taxes and spending. CBO announced that the repeal bill reduces taxes by almost $900 billion and reduces federal spending by $1.2 trillion over the next decade. This reduces deficit spending by $300 billion over the next 10 years. Thus the CBO, as official umpire, announced that the GOP Obamacare repeal plan may be enacted through "reconciliation," the process that requires a simple majority in the House and only 51 votes in the Senate. No filibuster allowed. Perhaps equally important, the $300 billion in deficit reduction gives Republicans a great deal of wiggle room to amend their basic plan to win votes in the House and Senate to win those 218 congressmen and 51 senators. Tax cuts can be added into the mix. Thanks to the CBO score and the underlying power of the legislation, Obamacare repeal will now pass. The path is clear. Yes, Democrats tried to focus on the CBO's guestimate as to how many Americans would choose to buy Obamacare insurance without the threat of fines and taxes. Answer: very few. This speaks to how unattractive Obamacare insurance products were and are. The GOP legislation empowers, strengthens, and expands Health Savings Accounts and other consumer-directed tools such as Flexible Spending Accounts, and creates high-risk pools to take care of those with pre-existing conditions without burdening all other insurance buyers with those costs. Tax credits will help lower-income Americans afford the insurance they want. . . . The residential move, from London to Los Angeles, is more nuanced. Having spent the better part of a year in Los Angeles because of the film, he was reminded of the appeal of sunshine after 18 years in “dark London.” That move is a homecoming of sorts, a concept that appeals to Ford now more than ever, as a family man who’s admittedly no spring chicken himself. “I grew up in the American West. The older I get, the more pulled back I am to a more rural…” perhaps conjuring images of his soon-to-be-residence, he rethinks “rural” “…I need sunshine. L.A. is the least city of all cities.” His parents live on the West Coast, as does his sister and her children. “Jack has a family there. A lot of it is personal.” The presidential election also impacted Ford’s decision to move, surprisingly so. Unlike those celebrities who vowed in its lead-up to leave the country if Donald Trump won, Ford found an opposite pull. “Oddly, it made me want to come back even more,” he notes. “We have a tremendous number of people in this country who feel disenfranchised and clearly we are not relating to or speaking to them. I am at my core American, and it made me want to come back. It didn’t make me want to run away. “I think when you sense that there is a divide in your country and that there are people who perhaps you’re not relating to, and that those of us who are fortunate enough to live in a world of very liberal human rights and privilege, it’s a wake-up call that we’re not addressing a big part of the country that does feel disenfranchised. It made me feel more nationalistic, if anything. The whole country is not like New York and L.A. and the world that I am used to living in.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Philippines : Growth, shrinking debt, and some modest rate rises coming but not immediatelyProperty in Manila is over-built, but the counry's fundamentals still look sound.From today's press:+ PH Foreign debt SHRINKS to $74.8 Billion in 2016 (Manila Bulletin)Down by 3.5% or $2.7 billion thanks to debt repayments, and $846mn of net buying of $846millon PH debt by foreigners. A weak yen also helped, since 12% of the debt is denominated in yen. The absolute number ($74.8 bn) was the lowest since 2010. The external debt ratio dropped to just 20.4 percent at year-end 2016, down from 21.9 percent, a year earlier. Such is the financial power of those millions of OFW's, Overseas Foreign Workers.+ Analysts see two BSP rate hikes this year (Business World)No rate rise is expected in March, and there seems to be "no urgent need for adjustment" though the trend in inflation is rising. If rates do not go up this month, it will be the 20th month in a row with no change+ The mothballed National Steel in Iligan Cty has been acquired by SteelAsia a rebar manufacturer, who has the intention of turning it into a state of the art stell manufacturing complex. This should be an important step in creating a local PH steel industry, which will be very useful as the country upgrades its infrastructureThe latest reports on Growth were : 6.8% Real growth in 2016 - one of the highest , and 1.8% inflation. But the latest month, February, inflation was up to 3.3%, which is on the high end of the target range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 No Big worries... Yet SPX ... update News comment Blame options expiration, not politics, for stock-market pullback: analyst MarketWatch Tony C: The market gapped up at the open and looked like it was about to resume the choppy rally. But shortly after the open the market started to pullback, and when it broke Monday’s lows yesterday’s first option, an ongoing Nano wave iv, was underway. The decline was not surprising, but dropping 33 points in the first two hours was a surprise. At low of the day, SPX 2342, the market entered the 2336 pivot range for the first time in as month. This pivot should act as support. Short term support is at the 2336 and 2321 pivots, with resistance in the 2350’s and the 2385 pivot.

drbubb Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 PREDICTION of a 5% drop - may be a Buy signal (because Gartman's track record is like that) Dennis Gartman sees at least a 5% drop for stocks — and shades of Watergate Mar 22, 2017 ‘This reminds me too much of what happened in 1972 to 1974’ Getty Images By VictorReklaitis Markets writer What’s next for U.S. stocks after the S&P 500 suffered its biggest percentage drop in five months? Dennis Gartman has warned “this is the start of at least a 5% correction, and perhaps something far worse than that over time.” “Only time shall tell, but I view it very seriously,” the publisher of the Gartman Letter said early Wednesday in a CNBC interview. To be sure, some traders view Gartman as a contrarian indicator, noting that he turned bullish on oil around Feb. 22, and that call was followed by West Texas Intermediate crude CLK7, +0.75% dropping 11% over the past month. But in any case, the veteran pundit has a number of reasons for being cautious toward stocks SPX, +0.19% . “It’s not just what happened in the equities markets,” he said, as he looked at Tuesday’s action across asset classes. The S&P lost 1.2% on Tuesday and finished 2.2% below its March 1 record close. “Gold GLD, +0.24% broke out to the upside, closing right on the highs. The bond market broke out to the upside, closing right on its highs. Base metals closed on the downside, right on their lows. Crude oil closed on the downside, right on its low. This is not just a one-off circumstance in the equities market.” The S&P was little changed around midday Wednesday. Check out: What’s next after the stock market’s sharp drop?

drbubb Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 "Prior to (Duterte's election), investors had been clamoring for peso assets thanks to predecessor Benigno Aquinos structural upgrade drive. Aquinos efforts from 2010 to 2016 to increase transparency, strengthen government accountability and repair the national balance sheet won the Philippines its first ever investment grade ratings. ...The peso started this month at 10-year lows, a clear sign investors doubt the Davao City model argument. Duterte is being haunted by allegations of involvement with corruption and unlawful killings during his mayor days." - William Pesek writing in Barrons. Here "on the ground" in the country, I am hearing stories about how Duterte is LESS CORRUPT than Aquino was. and that some minor headaches, like police stopping cars randomly and coercing money have all but stopped. Meantime, Chinese financing of a build-out of some new rail lines, seems to be progressing. I went to a art show opening the other day at the Ayala Museum, and the ribbon was cut by the governor of the Central bank (Tetango?), and then the next morning I read that the country had a bid surplus in January thanks to recprd tax collections, and they would be issuing P30 Bn Treasury notes in small denominations, in order to give retail investors a safe place to park their money (earning maybe 3-3.5% pa over three years.) It is about time that this country thought about improving financial opportunities for average people. Also, despite my very real concerns about excess of supply, and falling rents, one property investor friend told me that Ayala would be raising prices by 10-15% this year on one of their projects. The currency drop does not look as dramatic as Pesek claims, though it has failed to show the 2017 strength of some other non-USD currencies PHP versus currencies of: Thailand, Japan, Mexico ... update (The PH Peso could soon cross the 76d MA, and get a "buy" signal. Rising inflation, at over 3%, has triggered some concerns that the BSB might raise rates. The same day he was cutting the ribbon Tetango announce he would hold rates, and that the central bank was cutting their inflation forecasts from 3.5% to 3.4% for the year,) I don't believe much of what I read in the paper these days, and have thought that Willie Pesek is a closet globalist, aligned with the NWO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 If I had been around near the close, I would probably have bought SPY calls on Friday. Have to sleep sometime Tony C: SHORT TERM Our short term count suggests the SPX is currently in a Nano iv pullback, of Micro 3, of Minute iii. Our short term count for the DOW suggests the market is currently in a Micro 4 pullback of Minute iii. Considering the length and depth of the pullback we tend to prefer the DOW count. When this pullback concludes, if it hasn’t already, we expect a rally to new highs to complete Minute wave iii. Then after another pullback for Minute iv, a Minute v rally to complete the entire uptrend. Not much wiggle room on the downside left. If this uptrend is going to resume, as expected, it will have to occur next week. Short term support is at the 2336 and 2321 pivots, with resistance in the mid-2350’s and the 2385 pivot. Short term momentum ended the week oversold. Best to your trading! = > https://caldaro.wordpress.com/2017/03/25/weekend-update-597/ Comments: bouraq says: March 26, 2017 at 4:43 pm Chart of the weekend is $ES at http://www.tradingchannels.uk pooch77 says: March 26, 2017 at 4:22 pm Jeffery Sault looking for more down on Monday.This is for Fiona,check cnbc alexh110 says: March 26, 2017 at 9:40 am Seems like a very good technical setup for a rally: 94 trading day cycle ends tomorrow, which should mark a significant low (if it hasn’t already occurred on Friday). Weekly RSI has fallen back to neutral, as it did during the minute iii uptrend of 2013. RSI topped out at a similar level that year, then fell back to neutral, before rallying back to overbought (high 80s) to finish off minute iii. I expect to see a similar rally this time, lasting 4-5 weeks, at least 150 points, possibly 250. (N.B. 2009, 2010 and 2012 had similar weekly RSI rebounds from neutral, following a pullback from extreme overbought conditions.) We also have positive divergences on daily and hourly RSI. alexh110 says: March 26, 2017 at 9:53 am Also forgot to mention, SPX has fallen back almost to weekly EMA13, which it did at this stage during the minute iii wave of 2013. Francesca Ciardi says: March 26, 2017 at 1:13 am I do stand with Tony saying the downtrend may have already ended. Friday last hour the sign were all with it. The bulls seams having trapped the bears at the low. The tick reading have confirmed this with a serious low ticking in the last part of the day and the immediate resumption of a rally even as small that could have been in the last few minutes but was in low ticking. A classic Friday evening trap for all bear stacking. Monday will be gap up and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all it needed to complete a top here and break out downwards past Tuesday’s low with an initial target of 2150. But that serious stab at the blue megaphone VWAP put a potential Sornette melt-up set-up on the chart (inside red box). Sornette melt-up set-ups typically break out upwards with a double bobble (purple scenario) that could break ES out through 2362 for a melt-up to the blue megaphone top and new all-time highs. Sornette melt-up set-ups that fail usually fail in the second bobble when the price takes out the low of the first bobble. But you can’t count on getting a second bobble. Sometimes the only place you can see a second bobble is on a two-minute chart. If the Sornette melt-up triggers, the melt-up would usually take the form of either a series of price channels or a rising megaphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
