Scott shellady of trean is here to talk about the big rally. What a great trading opportunity that was. But was the rally premature . I dont think so. I think that with the rhetoric we saw yesterday we just went back to where we were befor all this garbage in washington started to happen. I think the equity market was one that took the negative washington sentiment the most. You didnt see that move in the 10 year as much. Yesterday, the 10 year really didnt move at all and the equities did. So the equities are back to where we started and the 10 years are telling you we still have all these problems to deal with with all the same people to deal with. Traders have some major earnings to watch for today including jp morgan and wells fargo. What do you see in the charts for those stocks . What do you want to hear from those companies . Yesterday they did well and i think that to continue to do so were gonna need to see some good earnings growth. Weve been accomodating this economy with all this money, trying to borrow some growth forward. So if that needs to happen and it needs to happen in the financial sector. So those stocks are gonna need to lead the way for us to hold onto what we did yesterday. Are you a buyer of the banks . Im a buyer of the banks because i think that Going Forward thats gonna be one sector that can really withstand anything we see going as far as a downward flow. But i think ultimately we need to see growth everywhere for the banks to do well but they should lead the way. Sounds like wise words. Thank you scott.

In our cover story, bond dealers meeting in chicago, this week have a lot on their plate. Not only are they calculating the potential effects of the moving target known as the debt ceiling debate, they are also waging a longerterm battle to keep Municipal Bonds from being taxed.

Jed kolko of trulia says the impacts of the shutdown are nothing compared to the fallout from hitting the debt ceiling.

Joining us from the floor of cme group pro traders Alan Knuckman and andrew keene. Topic number one freaked out . The stock market is not showing signs of big panic because of the debt threat in washington when will it be time to be afraid, very afraid . Alan never. You always can control your risk. Thats the most important factor when the markets going up or down. But i think if you focus on Consumer Confidence or sentiment, youre going to be off base. Because it takes a while for it to get to a level where people are comfortable and thats usually when you see the market reverse a little bit anyways. Andrew yeah, i agree with alan. I dont think theres any fear out there. The chances of the u. S. Defaulting on some of their debt i think is about a 10 chance. So you can protect yourself by buying way out of the money puts in the spy or some vix calls to protect yoruself but i dont think anythings gonna happen. So when people are fearful, thats a good buying opportunity. Alan volatility is opportunity. Angie topic two fidelity fears the nations largest manager of mutual funds is selling its short term t bills. Whats next for rates . Andrew i think theyre stuck in a range right here. Maybe between 2 and 7. I do not think we push above that 3 . But i think to the downside, there is a cap. So i think were stuck in this range for a while. Alan i agree with you. You were just a kid, but i was here on the floor in 9596 when we had this last shutdown. And the treasuries rallied. There was a huge rushflight to safety. Were not seeing that at all. So, its better right now. Not how the market reacts but how its not reacting. I dont think Interest Rates are gonna go anywhere. Obviously, theyre gonna go up eventually. But thats gonna be as the economy gets better. Its not gonna take 20 years but its not gonna be next week or next month or next year. Andrew alan will be in a wheelchair. Angie topic 3 dollar daze as the new 100 bills roll out are you a seller or buyer of the u. S. Dollar . Alan im a seller of the dollar and thats another part of this bond quotient herethat youre not. You didnt see any flight to safety in the dollar index as you usually do in other crises. That did not happen. The dollar below 80 here target 77. That means the Euro Currency above 36 is going to 140. Youre gonna see a lot of safety unwinding. If people didnt buy into the dollar on this, theyre not gonna buy the dollar on anything. Andrew they actually did buy the dollar. If you look at the daily chart of the uup, which is the bull dollar etf. 2141. It made a nice tail on the bottomgot buyers down there. Its rallied about 1 alan this is not a move 1 is not a move. Andrew that is a move. Some people would love 1 in 2 weeks. So the dollars going higher, were not gonna default onwere not gonna get downgraded which should be strong for the dollar. I think the dollar heads higher until we eventually do taper. So in the short termbullish, long termbearish. Alan huge surge in the marketthe dollars doing nothing. Angie on to our bonus round Government Shutdown which are still up and running. A house gym swimming pool, sauna steam room. B a 30 second subway ride so lawmakers dont have to walk outside c paychecks for the president and congress dall of the above alan its d. All of the above. Andrew d. Angie good job. First th a deadly disease. I was one of them. Im a nurse and i knew how damaging the disease was to my life. Nothing i tried seemed to work.

Together we can make a choice to end obesity now. A Public Service from the Obesity Action Coalition. Has netflix in focus. And is the run done in this stock . I think the highs we saw at the beginning of this week. Will probably be the higs for a while. Momentum certainly has waned. The big selloff we saw on wednesday, some retracements certainly yesterday. I think given the fact that the margin hikes came out and some of that free money euphoria has waned here. I dont look for netflix to collapse like perhaps, tesla. But i look for the stock to kind of chop around here and have a lot of trouble heading higher. And what do you see in the charts for the overall market . Give us something so we can sleep at night. Same kind of price action in the overall market. I think the high is right around 1710 on the s p 500. Will probably be the highs for a while and i think the lows we saw on tuesday down around that 16351640 level may be the lows for a while. I think well have what i call big range no change so up 150down 150. But week to week kind of going nowhere. What else is your trader instinct telling you . Do you think that we will see the debt ceiling raised . Absolutely. I think they wont be monkeying around with that. Ultimately remember even when that will probably come to pass. Stocks are not an expensive here. They are trading about 16 times next years earnings. And those earnings estimates are getting trimmed in so i just look for a lot of trouble Going Forward and janet yellen will provide a little more of that bernanke put. But valuation is getting shred sothe yin and yang battleground here for probably the next six months or so. Have a good weekend tim. Thank you angie.
