"Risk Trade" unraveling with dollar uptrend..Dollar at 5 month high

Bob Pasini of CNBC says lets not mention the risk trade anymore its old news. I beg to differ it is very topical because the risk trade was a hoax and it now over. The dollar with no intertest is now the winning trade. The dollar it a 5 month high today and pays 1.92 for 10 years and 3.24 for 30 years.  Gold is hanging on by a thread and has a bullseye painted on it. Oil and Gasoline were hit hard today and I still think they want to bury these. The weak economy is now going to get some help at the expense of the commodities now.

I was in the blackout last night and could not post.

Comments:

8-8 DJI catches up with rest of market and trades to 200 week average. NYSE 0 new highs 1345 new lows. Mikey10 at -234 mikey 5 at -173. Mikey OB/OS -32 Weeky MACD below zero jast time was June 2010. The  Fed making money hand over fist on US bond position.

8-9 Fed plays catch today and says they will not hike rates. Really that was big news. The dollar returned to near its lows. Remember keep an eye on the uup it needs to trade above 21.80 to reverse. Today made it feel that QE 3 is on the way the way the currenciers all ripped the dollar. The Fed may not have the balls to do what they need to do which will drag this economy slowly into recession. Mikey 10 still way oversold at -226 Mikey 5 -169, Put call still high at 1.13 on a 400 up day. Closing in on the 5 day average which should be resisitance at 11500. Silver downgraded to neutral with the trend change at below 37.00. Gold keeps on going up 30 to 1743.

8-10 Mikey reading indicate a rally is nearing. The Fed and US treasury sold at aution Tuesday 24 billion of 3 year notes for .51% on wednesday it sold 24 billion of 10 year notes for 2.14% and tomarrow they will sell 16 billion of 30 year bonds at around 3.56%. It was sure nioce that the stock market sell off has created so much demand for US Debt just when the autions came in. Man are they lucky. I think you get the point. The stock market got out of the way and also the Euro bonds when France banking problems surfaced just in time for our auction. The Mikey 10 is a substancially oversold reading of -219 \the Mikey 5 is -161 and the VXZ is a col 58 induication the manager have a healthy respect for this sell off. A rally next week or options expirations week to about 11500 to 11700 would not surprise me at all. 
 8-11 Auction over fear leaves and market rallies bonds sell off and Gold falls.  Not Very original but who cares...right?
8-12 Week ends down a respectable 178 points rallying after the treasury auctions ended, what happens now well it would be perfect if the DJI would rally to about 11850 by next Friday, which was the breakdown and that way the puts would be wiped out. Mikey 5 is a normal +45 and the Mikey 10 is at an oversold -75. VXZ is till showing fear at 56.38 so all in all there is roonm to run it up. The 10 day average of Put/calls is a high 1.33 so the puts are ripe for the picking.
8-15 DJI continues to rally into expirations week Bye Bye puts.
8-16 Perry calls any more printing by the Fed treasonist. Obama needs more printing or the economy is toast.
8-17 Marking time
8-18 Dji drops 400 back near its 200 week and near its long term reversal point of 10,732
8-22 QE3 Ben talks tomorrow. meanwhile market working off oversold condition. Gold rumbles past 1900 margin increase anyone?? Dollar quietly up
8-23 Going into the Fed statement tomorrow the markets have anticipated the Fed to prop up assets and keep this thing from rolling over. Forget the idea that the economy is going to fall into recession. The idea is the same as it was in 2009 and 2010 that the Fed is going to catch it here and print. That is what today's 322 up day was saying. IBD went to market in confirmed uptrend today. Mikey 10 has run positive for the last 2 days the trend has a tendence to follow the 10 up and down. I think it is too early to call here with only 2 days posiitve.
8-24 Gold was 97.50 lower today closing at 1763.80. If this is the same move that I have seen by most parabolic breaks it should see the 90 day average quickly. That average is just happens to be at the July 11 breakout at 1580 or GLD (154).
8-25 Warren Buffett buys 50 billion B of A preferred in private placement. Hey it was his idea they really did not need the money. Who could not use a spare 50 billion.
8-26 No QE3 but don't tell that to the market because it acted like it today
8-29 Greek banks and US economy OK today B of A sells 6 billion holding in China.But I am sure that they don't need the money.
8-30 Pimpco's Bill Gross is now buying US bonds. I guess he is buying them from the Fed and the banks who I am sure are big sellers now. Bonds are starting to look as scary to me as Gold. Interest rates that pay anything are only available in stocks and corporate bonds. Believe me they are taking advantage of these low rates and the public is buying what they are selling. Any investor that invests a these current rates will lose half of their principle in the coming years.  This is going to be the next big debacle that the public faces it has been a long time since the public face interest rte risk but they are now. The Fed says that it will not raise rates for the next two years. That is hard for me to believe.
8-31 Bonds are weakening as commodities and the market challenge their downtrends. If the Fed is doing nnothing then the bond vigilante's are going to come back. They raise rates as commodities and assets rise. The dollar is the beneficiary. This is the exact opposite of easing which is what the Fed has been doing. The economic news is turn more positive. This would support the vigilantes.
9-1 The dollar ran up to the 50 day average today and pulled back. The number on the UUP is 21.22 That is the number to watch. The jobs report comes in tomorrow will it show strength???
9-2 The market is falling and the long bonds are rising but the dollar is turning up and is at a 3 week high. This is different than the QE's that the Fed ran. Are they cutting asset prices free to trade on their own merits. Watch to see if this action continues. It would imply that the world economy is weaker than the US.  OMG
9-6 Dollar breaks downtrend line trend turns up Put/calls 1.16 highest since 8-8
