Yen Equilibrium
/ 10:27AM
We feel squeezed with the dollar at Y121.70 in the overnight forex and
the morning session. At this juncture, we are expanding our short position five-fold since
we don't believe that it will go much higher than this. We look for a steady decline to
Y117 by next week. Our pain point would be Y122.40 where we would begin to sweat it out. |

Capital Markets
/ 10:32AM
Our put plays are behaving nicely but our AMZN write may hurt if we
don't get a rally in that thing over the next couple of days. The long SPH position is
moving beautifully and we are exiting the RUT short. Until CMGI and some other nets are
taken out of that index, it will continue to rally and erode short positions. The market
news lately seems to herald the broadening out of the market but we still see most of the
liquidity going to the big caps and the nets. Look at the Dow and see the money that is
rolling into IBM this morning... |
