Gold - 753.3
Oil - 67.64
Natural Gas - 6.54
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8990 on 10/29/08, as investors bought stocks again after yesterdays historic move in the stock market, until General Electric GE came out with bad news on 2009 earnings with 5 minutes left to go in the trading day. This sent stocks down! The Stock Market Futures were down slightly this morning, The Dow Jones futures were actually down 60 points until the new libor rates were set. The Markets rallied up and down all day leading up to the Fed Rate Cut Decision. After stocks fell on the news of the rate cut, the stock market began to take off to the upside at 3:15pm Est. time. Apple ( AAPL ) was strong all day up more then 7% for most of the day. A key Down Jones component, General Motors ( GM ), came out with several pieces of news helping their stock price to rise. Will the stock market go up tomorrow? Most guests on CNBC think this rally has legs, especially Art Cashin, floor trader on the NYSE. . The key point to note is that usually on a big stock move like yesterday you would see some kind of correction. The GE news on their profitability with 5 minutes to go caused the Dow Jones to fall over 250 points but we did not have a huge red day. GE stock is now trading at $19 per share after falling.
Todays Biggest Stock Market Gainers
Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) was a huge gainer today on the MGM Mirage earnings news. LVS was up over 100% today at one point and appears to still be strong despite the end of the day sell off. LVS hit a high of $10.97 before going under $9 right before the close. Watch this stock tomorrow 10/29/08! Over 50 million shares traded hands so this is a day traders delight!
Potash ( POT ) had strength all day long and that stock broke two resistance levels, $72 and $82, all in one day. I think Potash is ready to move higher and the bottom could be in finally.

Bill Gross CNBC 10/29/08 - Comments on Fed Rate Cut
Bill Gross was on CNBC 10/29/08 giving his comments on the Fed rate cut decision.
I Heard just about what I expected....downside risks to growth remain suggestesting that rates will go lower or stay here for an extended period of time.
I noticed in the Fed Statement that external demand ( meaning exports ) has weakened meaning the whole world has a problem right now.

Charlie Gasparino CNBC ABK, MBI 10/29/08
Charlie Gasparino has just come on CNBC today, 10/29/08, and told viewers that the Eric Dinallo and the Treasury are meeting to discuss Ambac ( ABK ) and MBIA ( MBI ) for a possible coverage in the Tarp program.
If the treasury provides capital into these bond insurers, their rating could get lifted higher. This would be huge for both ABK and MBI.
Both stocks are surging on this news, ABK is 2.83 and MBI is 8.36.

Trading Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) 10/29/08? LVS Analysis
Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) is one of the hottest stocks on the NYSE today and in the over all stock market. MGM Mirage set the tone with their earnings this morning and LVS has been spiking on higher volume off its low from yesterday.
Day Trading Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) - October 29th, 2008.
As I write this blog, LVS just hit $7.99 up around 60%. There is support around $7.30...and then $6.70. A break below $6.70 would be bearish in my opinion and i'd look to reload at $6. If Las Vegas Sands can close over $8 today, I think it could retest $9 and above at its 10 day moving average.
Be careful though, we are in a volatile bear market so use your stops and be disciplined!
Here is a chart of LVS.
Dow Jones Open - Stock Market 10/29/08 - Opening Prices

All eyes are on the Fed rate cut decision this afternoon. The Nasdaq is down 13 points today, October 29th, but Apple ( AAPL ) is bucking the trend after positive comments from Jim Cramer last night on Mad Money. Jim Cramer thinks Apple is cheap at these levels and shares of AAPL can be used to gauge how healthy the stock market is. Apple stock price is $104 per share.

Art Cashin CNBC 10/29/08 - Bottom Call, Yen Comments
Art Cashin was on CNBC 10/29/09 and he had these comments to say:
Tuesday the Yen skyrocketed and you had the g7 intervention which crushed the carry trade, we then had selling everywhere.
When the Yen eased it started a rally, everyone waited to see if the last hour sellers would show up, they didn't show, it sparked a huge rally.
This afternoon, a 50 point rate cut is priced into the market and we are hoping to hear the credit markets are easing from the Federal Reserve. If we get a .25 cut, you would see a sell off....but then again the market might say, wait a minute, things might not be so bad if they only cut .25 and they might rally it.
Monday we retested the lows and rallied Tuesday....this rally might actually have legs and you might be able to start buying the dips, we'll have to wait and see.
I think this bottom is a temporary bottom, not the final bottom, but we might rally into the end of the year but in 2009 we should get the real bottom.
