ETF ChartBook
Update: Precious Metals Fall Out of Bed (GLD,
SLV) -Update
In Monday's ETF
ChartBook, I noted that gold had shifted to
a bearish pattern. Yesterday, in my Notes to
our Trader subscribers, I further stated that
the market environment was fully dollar-positive
at this point, and that neither gold nor silver
would be spared, stating that once they cracked,
they would shatter. I also called for a silver
crash to begin today in my Morning notes this
morning.
The dollar strength continues
to an overwhelming extent today, with commodities
imploding across the board. The shattering is
all around. I continue to be bearish on the
metals and bullish on the dollar. The real impetus
is delevering of the books at investment firms,
and the sense that little in the way of further
monetary expansion would be forthcoming following
the Fed's bleak input yesterday.
This has the leveraged exposure coming out
of everything with spec interest. And that includes
the precious metals. They are too small to be
true safe havens once the books are taken in.

EVENT
Event Trader: Keeping an eye on markets
here following Slovakia headline -Update
The headline was 'Slovakia's
PM proposed coalition partners to tie EFSF vote
with confidence vote or to resign before or
after the unsuccessful vote'. The interesting
thing I saw was the use of 'unsuccessful'
to describe tomorrow's vote. There
is a good chance that Slovakia will not pass
the EFSF vote and that has been a major worry
in the markets. Assuming Malta passes
it today, Slovakia would be the only country
of the 17 not to pass the bill. But under the
EU treaty, a bill needs unanimous support in
order to pass. The basic argument from Slovakia
is that it had to meet strict criteria to enter
the EU and that it is a poor country and does
not see why it should be responsible for Greece's
free spending.
There are some caveats
to go along with this potential 'negative'
headline. 1) Slovakia's portion of the EFSF
bill would be approx EUR 4 ln or 3%; 2) The
bailout on a per capita basis is the lowest
of the 17 members at EUR 738; 3) The goal of
the government is to pass the bill before the
Oct 17 EU finance ministers meeting (which is
now delayed) so the opposition is prepared to
see one failed vote as it has time for another
vote; 4) If this vote fails it does not represent
an imminent risk of a Greek default.
Basically the opposition party is attempting
to use this bill as a way to topple the ruling
party. The key names to watch here are Richard
Sulik who is the party chairman for the Freedom
and Solidarity Party (also known as SaS). Mr.
Sulik has been flip flopping on whether or not
his party would support the legislation but
he does look prepared to drive it into the abyss
if his terms are not met. The SaS party is for
lower taxes and less regulation for business
(think the Tea Party), It also wants EU officials
to take a more sustainable route in ensuring
the EU rather than just injecting money into
budgets in the form of loans. Perhaps the bigger
issue here is that the party is looking to scrap
the ESM which is set to go into effect in 2013.
The other opposition party, Smer, said that
it would go along with the vote as long as Prime
Minister Iveta Radicova agrees to early elections.
So the best case scenario may be for
the bill to be passed but for the ruling party
to lose power and early elections called thus
increasing the amount of political uncertainty
in the region.
The bottom line
is that Slovakia will be a headline force in
the markets the next 24 hours despite being
the second poorest country in the region. The
fear is that a failed vote would show the political
fracture in the region and thus weigh on expectations
for a bailout. The size of the country's
participation in the bailout is inconsequential
in some eyes. I for one think the country's
size does matter. I can not imagine the EU would
collapse because Slovakia refused to give Greece
EUR 4 bln. The strong rhetoric out of the two
big players in the region, France and Germany,
should outweigh this vote. I find that it hard
to believe that EU officials would not have
some loophole to work around the country's
lack of participation. In addition, if they
were looking for unanimity I am sure they could
find incentives to get Slovakia on board (or
threats). I think you could see some
selling pressure if it crosses that Slovakia
shot down the bill. But I think this will provide
a buying opportunity on any drops as the market
factors in all aspects of this vote.
The bigger issue remains the actual operation
side of any bailouts but I think that Europe
has brought itself a few weeks before it needs
to produce their ideas to the markets.

TA PAGE SCANS
Technical Scans for Tuesday, October
11, 2011...
BriefingTrader Column:
The following scans are designed to give both
Day and Swing traders opportunities based upon
specific technical criteria. Market conditions/breadth
need to be evaluated to determine which set-ups
will offer the greatest probability of success.
If you take the time to scroll through the charts,
you'll start to recognize the same patterns
repeating themselves over and over again and
eventually should learn to capitalize on them.
On days where one particular scan results in
too many stocks (20+), then those names with
low volatility are filtered out.

Executive Summary
- Liquid Momentum is a technical trading
service designed for active swing traders,
featuring both long and short ideas
- The Liquid Momentum system consists
of two complementary parts:
- The weekly Focus List:
Each week we publish a Focus

on technical data points -- no fundamentals
are considered (if you're looking for a
hybrid technical/fundamental system, our
Emerging Growth system might be a better
fit).
- The holding period for suggested trades
varies, but typically they last several
days, and sometimes up to several weeks.
