“Banks’ balance-sheets are clogged with toxic junk precisely because they are unwilling to sell the stuff at prices hedge funds and other private investors are willing to pay.”

In today’s edition of Trader Art, we are going to talk about the Ten Year Treasury note (ZN H9).
You can see from the picture that the note sold off today. Could this sell off be a good entry point into the ten year note?
If you buy it as it pulls back to the black line, you could then stop out below the red line. Take that risk and compare it to the upside potential.
Imagine if you pulled off a tight, small risk entry and you were able to ride out the entire reward potential up to the green line.
Small risks for big rewards. That’s how to trade. When you trade the picture.

Prologis (PLD) downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform at Wachovia

After the company reported results, Wachovia downgraded the shares on valuation and because they believe there are some uncertainties regarding the company’s structure and its portfolio.

Does someone pay for this analysis? Some uncertainties regarding the company’s structure? This company is done. Gone. Lights out. The only uncertainty here is WHEN the stock will trade on the pink sheets.

Merrill upgrades Prologis (PLD) to buy from neutral. Target $11.
Another upgrade from the mighty Merrill. This is almost as good as their analysis back in September, Perception becomes reality.

Economic history is a never-ending series of falsehoods and lies, not truths. It represents that path to big money. The object is to recognize the trend whose premise is false, ride that trend, and step off before it is discredited.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
