Yup, I enjoyed the ratface tutorial on risk trading today too, he has no freakin clue and dozens of noobs are hanging to his every word.
Blind leading blind...doesn't even begin to cover it!

Painful.

Am well here, most know the pattern I am looking for to materialise here on eu for an easy setup.
Can't be too far out at this point.

Don't like it when the techs and fundies don't line up, I just wait for them to reallign themselves and get some sanity back in the intraday markets.
Strange ride up after that most recent news...diabolical!

Don't know why some take such great pleasure in misdirecting the noobie on purpose. They must be very twisted and sick individuals indeed.

Thought that may have been a sign!

Knew you weren't just here for the Ratt-fix.

Techies did trump the fundies, not my kind of setup, I will just wait for the tech boys to run out of steam and realise that what they are doing is a bit madness.....


For the fundie boys and girls among us, remember the last ZEW drop?????? (08.....)Are we just picking up a few stops here for the proper fundie move? The next hour will be telling. I for one am not buying this one at these levels.....

Think she/he/it just loves any attention she can get.

No publicity is bad publicity...kind of thing.

He keeps popping in here, must be so frustrated for him that he can't hang out with the proper traders anymore.......

Good approach. Plenty of head scratching going on through all of that. Surely someone is going to say....wait a minute...whats this based on?

Ditto! Not one long trade last week. None so far this week...can't see it happening now, either. Sure...I've missed a bundle of pips to the north, but have done just fine heading south, too.

That's what I am doing, took a handful of pips on the news, surprised we did not see a follow through. US futures are still carrying this pair here. I am a patient kind of guy, I will wait for the right time and setup, no need to rush a good thing.

Was thinking of letting a couple low-level muppets in for you to feast on!

Got to be a good one brewing. Nice to break out of that triangle...well, at least attempt to again...but I'm sure that may be followed by a retest.

I am in the same boat Cloggie. If stock markets are betting on QE3, they are playing with fire (same for the euro). The last numbers across Europe and in the US are moving from sluggish to bad very fast and right now are only inches from the abyss TA and a small slide will trigger double dip.

I am pretty sure we are not the only ones around looking at that and waiting for a proper trigger to sell the hell out of it.

Feck it, if we want crap, we only have to visit the eurotrash thread to get our fix, let's keep this one clean and serious. So far it has been good; 11v keeps the riff-raff out.

Agreed...on all fronts!

Still just like the picture in my head of a sacrificial muppet for the spinning Taz devil, though!
