<p>Oh my. I thought it tracked the s and p not the Russell 1000.</p>
<p>It is the Russell Financial 1000.</p>
<p>There are plenty of Russell indexes.</p>
<p>You wanted to trade the triple long s&p 500 index etf? UPRO?</p>

<p>Some diagnostic companies make money by selling their products, others - by selling shares of their stock.</p>
<p>Josh Birnbaum on Squawk. Former managing director of Goldman (cough looks 14 years old cough i’m old). Speaking very clearly. Tell me about him oh you gurus. Tilden Park (sounds like that’s his firm and he founded it).</p>
<p>Ooh. Googling him I recall him from testifying during the Goldman hearings. I’m just struck this morning about how clearly he speaks. That always impresses me. Caution!?!</p>
<p>Unemployment rose? Wow, i am surprised. ;)</p>
<p>Amazing trading (bonds and equities) declines at Morgan Stanley in their earnings report this morning.</p>
<p>The big drop reported last week was skewed by auto plants not shutting down when they normally do. This week’s number is more in line with the trend.</p>
<p>BTW, it’s not that unemployment rose - first time unemployment claims rose. Unemployment could have gone up or down as they measure different things.</p>
<p>“Amazing trading (bonds and equities) declines at Morgan Stanley in their earnings report this morning.”</p>
<p>What? You don’t believe me? ;)</p>
<p>Business is terrible.</p>
<p>The volatility in the aapl options is lower than it was last earnings cycle.</p>
<p>I think volume in the options is a lot lower too.</p>
<p>Business is clearly bad, i got cold called 2 weeks ago by a large investment/mutual fund firm,asking if i wanted to meetnto discuss financial planning…having nothing to do, i went yesterday…</p>
<p>And…what was pitched?</p>
<p>CMG, GOOG, and ISRG report this evening to name a few. Could be a fun after hours.</p>
<p>The macro news has been negative lately but the mkt still goes up. Crazy.</p>
<p>Msft also reports after the close.</p>
<p>Premiums are too cheap. Probably for good reason.</p>
<p>Vix is below 16 too.</p>
<p>Why is the market going up besides rotation into tech?</p>
