Some in Greece are wondering where did the money go . . . better pay attention and learn the signs.

When you wake up Monday morning and turn on the news here is what you will hear. Greece has introduce capital controls and keep its banks closed on Monday after international creditors refused to extend the country's bailout and savers queued to withdraw cash, taking Athens' standoff to a dangerous new level.

The Athens stock exchange will also be closed as the government tries to manage the financial fallout of the disagreement with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.

Greece's banks, kept afloat by emergency funding from the European Central Bank, are on the front line as Athens moves towards defaulting on a 1.6 billion euros payment due to the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday.

Greece blamed the ECB, which had made it difficult for the banks to open because it froze the level of funding support rather than increasing it to cover a rise in withdrawals from worried depositors, for the moves.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the decision to reject Greece's request for a short extension of the bailout program was "an unprecedented act" that called into question the ability of a country to decide an issue affecting its sovereign rights.

How do you want to play this is up to you.  Maybe a better question what would you do if this happened you in the US markets?

Top 5 Characteristics of a Good Shepherd (Trader)? in The Year of the Sheep

Please insert the word TRADER every time you see the word Sheep! 1. Understands the needs of the sheep better than they do-In Market terms-if you are a position swing trader (different than a buy and hold no matter what investor), understanding that sheep will herd, graze, scatter, poop then rejoin the herd-means you understand that this is the nature of the 2015 trading range. The Shepherd should be one step ahead of the herd! 2. Understands what threatens sheep and what makes them sick-The market fears uncertainty. Currently, there are a few areas of concern. Greece might be the number one. The Federal Reserve’s ongoing policy is another. Then, there’s basic fear mongering prevalent pretty much always, but particularly rears its ugly head when fueled by the above uncertainty. 3. Works tirelessly to provide protection and security-This is where trading with a calm head and having a bottom line level of risk exposure planned for in advance (position sizing based on a sane percentage of your overall equity), are ways to take emotions out of the trading process. You do this in my teachings of Fast Money Trading.  Setting up you trades and using consistent stops on top and bottom or all trades. 4. Shears sheep and examines each one for injury or disease-In a trading range or enclosed sheep pasture, it is beneficial to lock in profits or shear your positions when they are going your way. That way, if a trade gets “injured” you have already taken profits off the table. This is in your traders notebook and you probably have been doing this for some time anyway. 5. Keeps sheep “on the move” so they don’t get into a rut-This means two things really. First, having a well-balance portfolio so should one position falter, trading across several asset classes helps your portfolio from falling into a “rut”. Secondly, even with locking in profits on rallies, holding partial positions going your way, takes advantage of potential further momentum. Daily “Momentum Numbers” takes care of this. Our flock consists of the Modern Family. They consist of BBRY, a teck stock. JCP a retail company, AAPL another teck altho much bigger, BAC  represents the banking industry. SLW represents the metals, BBY a retailer.

Prepare for big drop in markets as GREECE prepares to default on its loans.

 I have decided to take a summer vacation during the week of June 15 through June 20. Its summer time.

This week in the news is the GREEK debt. Seems a few years ago Greek wanted to stay in the Eurozone and asked for a government bailout, and received very lenient one. Greek seemed ok with the terms but made no concessions for the tough rules that needed to apply and cutbacks to its people. Greek treated the bailout funds not as a loan that must be payed back but more as

an entitlement and gift.  They even voted out the party that secured the bailout loan with one that said we will continue giving you more and more free benefits with out so much of a word.  Last week the Greek government gave there lenders a plan for payback but seemed not serious. The eurozone was furious and has threatened to kick Greece out of the Eurodollar and the Eurozone which will put Greece in default and back to a 3rd world country.  Everything costing Greece many times more and wether they want it or not hard time will come to all Greeks in the event this happens.  There Bonds are not yielding 25%+ and few takers.  It is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better for the citizens of Greece.  Seems we never learn but history does repeat itself and when were in the mists of it think that it is not effecting us or some now it is different this time.

Summertime and Forrest Gump

Summer has started early . . . What would Forrest Gump do?

Well, its been a couple of weeks again and I’am still finding it difficult to find anything to write about.  Markets had started the summer slow down a little early and almost come to a halt on volume.  I have decided to take a summer vacation during the week of June 15 through June 20. Its summer time.

One of the more memorable scenes in "Forrest Gump" happens when the title character's shrimping money is invested by his partner, Lt. Dan, in what Forrest describes as "some kind of fruit company."

That fruit company, of course, was Apple Computer, which would go on to become the largest and most profitable corporation in the history of the world.

Inspired by a conversation on Quora about how an investment in Apple at the time the movie was released in 1994 would have performed, we decided to instead estimate what Forrest and Lt. Dan's investment would be worth today.

Unfortunately, the movie is not overly specific about the size or exact timing of Lt. Dan and Forrest's investment. There is, however, a very narrow window in which the investment could have happened.

Apple was initially founded on April 1, 1976. The scene in which Forrest receives his letter from the "fruit company" thus needs to happen after that date.

However, according to this upload of the movie's script, a few scenes after Forrest gets that letter, he and Jenny are watching a TV broadcast of the bicentennial celebrations that took place on July 4, 1976. Therefore, Lt. Dan must have made that investment somewhere in the three-month period between those two dates.

Regardless of exactly when the investment was made, Apple would not go public for another four years, and so trying to nail down a stock price or valuation of Bubba-Gump Shrimp's investment in the computer company is very difficult.

To make our lives easier, we considered what the price return on a $10,000 investment in Apple at the time of the company's IPO on December 12, 1980 would have been in the long run for Forrest and friends.

It would actually take some time for the Apple investment to mature to the point where Forrest "don't have to worry about money no more." The stock's price hovered at or below the IPO value for a couple years. It would double in value for a brief time by May 1983, before stagnating throughout most of the rest of the 1980s.

On the July 6, 1994 release date for "Forrest Gump", Forrest and Lt. Dan's hypothetical $10,000 investment would have been worth $18,173.

The stock didn't really take off until Apple's successes in the 2000s and beyond.

But if Forrest were still holding onto his Apple investment today, it would be worth over $2.5 million.

Summer has started early . . .

Well, its been a couple of weeks and I didn’t feel like I had anything to write about.  Markets had started the summer slow down a little early and then Pow!  Earning reports starting coming and surprise surprise banks led the charge and tech followed and took over. All the markets made 15 year high but still lots of people tell me were not back to where we were 8 years ago.  Ask your self how can that be when seems daily were making new highs on the averages.  I’ll tell you, you don’t own the averages you own individual stocks and over that time period yeah companies might be doing better but you've got to remember when companies lost 20-30 or 50% of there value things change.  Thats what happened things had to change for those companies to survive.  Changed management and style, companies shrunk, they reorginized, changed product mix closed divisions, pulled out of certain markets.  Today lots of companies are shells of there former.  There cleaner, leaner and eager to prove there worth.  They will rise but we may have to wait till the market cycle is ready for that industry for the former starts to shine once again.  It will happen.

Why is everyone nervous . . ?

We as investors are enjoying near-record levels for major stock indexes but we will scrutinize the housing data and other economic indicators in the weeks to come. 

Concern about the Federal Reserve's path of rate increases have resulted in big swings in the S&P 500 on a daily basis, even though overall expectations for volatility remain low. Now reduced expectations of approaching rate hikes, the S&P 500 (.SPX)  came close to record closing highs on Friday. "Any piece of economic data that speaks to the pace of job creation or inflation/defation will be watched very closely. 

With Wall Street bracing for the first Fed rate hike since 2006, the S&P 500 on average this year has fluctuated 24 points per session, its most volatile since December 2011, according to Reuters . After U.S. consumer prices in January fell their furthest in 6 yrs. due to low gasoline prices, Tuesday's February Consumer Price Index is expected to be up 0.2 percent, according to a Reuters poll. The U.S. economy's growth prospects and the outlook for rate hikes have also been wishy washy by the strong dollar. The dollars 20% surge over a year has caused about 50 companies to reduce earnings expectations for the first quarter, and more could be on the way.

Investors also worry about falling oil prices and how much of the recent drop is attributable to global economic weakness as opposed to oversupply. Some investors worry that consumers are not spending money freed up by lower gasoline prices on more goods and services.

So why is everyone nervous?  Lets see, Russia, Putin, the powder keg in the middle east, Obama, tax time is around the corner, portfolios have not preformed at expected, unexplained plane crashes. ”That’s why everyone is nervous."
