It appears SLG is creating another bull flag, so we are looking for confirmation to the upside on this one. This is a beautiful chart, caution to the beholder.

PAC-10 Standings

Let's go Oregon!! Up next: At Washington Oct 24. The Oregon coaches are tight-lipped on whether Masoli will be able to return to the lineup. However, Oregon has two weeks to prep for Washington (in Seattle).

Audiable Notes: Husky Stadium (72,500): The sound bounces off the roof, rocks the stadium and settles over the playing field. Compared to the Autzen Stadium (54,000): It’s non-stop, eardrum-rattling, jet-engine level, false-start causing noise.

Flat To Down

Well the market was pretty much flat to down for the day . . . All where looking forward to AA earnings (at the end of trading day) and the Initial Job Number due out Oct 8, 2009 (before the market opens). At the time of this posting AA was a positive number and the afterhours trading was brisk, however, we know that the afterhours trading it pretty a no event thing. Volume is always thin and professional will be possibly selling into the open on the following day.

AIG and GS were good for scalping at the open and then went flat for the day . . .

AIG

AIG and the overall market did a one-eight with the dollar drop, faster than a . . . We broke the JUL trendline and pretty much captured it with a +2 dollar gain. This should be a warning since, we are seeing the same pattern left in Mar.
