First, the big news : EBAY has finally agreed to spin off PayPal and that's going to give us a nice boost in our Income Portfolio ( which we fortunately just adjusted more aggressive yesterday ) and EBAY has been on our Buy List ( Members Only ) since 5/20, when they were testing $50 and, as I said to our Members when I predicted an earnings beat in July : Paypal, Paypal and Paypal. They should beat the .68 expectations (.63 last year) and all of last year they traded in the $50s, so why should they be below it now when they are making $3 a year (p/e 16.7)? Compared to the rest of the market, this thing is a real bargain! They beat by a penny and, as you can see from the chart, that was enough to kick them up 10% and we recently got a nice re-entry at $50, when we took advantage of the spike down to sell more 2016 $50 puts for $5.50 which were up 15% at $4.80 at yesterday's close – not bad for a month's work and they should be up 30% by the end of today! Today we will see an all-out effort to keep the markets afloat so the books on Q3 can be spun positive by the Banksters, who have Trillions of Dollars riding on the outcome. Of course, we KNOW that no Bankster would ever attempt to manipulate the Market, or LIBOR, or Currencies, or Ratings… Well, not if they knew for a fact they would get caught AND the punishment was more than a slap on the wrist, anyway. Thank goodness, that never happens. As you can see from our Big Chart, the S&P came to a rest right on the 50 dma at 1,977 so that's the do or die line for the day while it's 4,495 on the Nasdaq. On the Dow we want to see 17,100 taken back and the NYSE needs to hold 10,750 while the poor, beleagured Russell just needs to hold that 1,110 line. Officially, our bounce lines remain: …
