Market Bulls Still in Charge?

Friday’s Down Move Made Way for More Buying

Today on The Bubba Show, Bubba welcomes back an old friend from the floor of the CBOE, Shah Gilani who runs the newsletter Capital Wave Forecast and appears regularly on Varney and Co. Bubba and Shah talk about Friday’s big down move in the stock market and if that concerns Shah. Shah explains that it’s probably just another buying opportunity.

Bubba asks Shah to explain what he does at Capital Wave Forecast and the types of trades they make. Shah talks about the retail sector and how they have been shorting those while buying others, as the group believes there is more upside to the markets and that the bulls are still in charge.

The FED is next up for conversation as Shah and Bubba express their disgust in the way it’s run. Shah tells Bubba that it is time to end the FED, they have no clue and do a lousy job. They talk about simple facts of free markets and true price discovery and why the FED is just a money waster, giving the government an excuse to keep printing money.

Shah talks about fractional banking and explains why he believes a version of Glass-Steagall should be brought back. The banks are too big and getting bigger. Bubba and Shah talk about trading desks, while both believe that banks that trade should not take deposits.
