You asked for two sub-prime meltdowns this morning, so you only got one.

Not bad though....
Think again...

An affiliate of powerful leveraged buyout firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. said Wednesday it will lose about $40 million from selling $5.1 billion in residential mortgages and warned an additional $200 million hit could be coming.KKR Financial Holdings KKR Financial Holdings LLC
KFN

10.37 -4.90 -32.09%

blamed the estimated $40 million loss on "unprecedented disruptions" in the residential mortgage market, which have reverberated from the United States to banks in Europe and Asia.

--> I missed this one this morning. :

You and me both...looks like a short cable short, come the Asian session.

Closed my shorts for now, will wait until after 5pm, so I don't get hit with triple rollover fees....

The bottom for UJ is around 116.60. If that gets firmly broken (solid hourly candles closed below it) then I am going south with the avalanche.

Now time for a little rant: Why the HELL can't Americans keep their finances straight? When I was in Egypt last month I realized that people either have money to finance something or they don't, and when they don't they DONT FREAKIN COMMIT SUICIDE BY TAKING 30% interest loans! Arrrrrrghhhhh! Why do we have to live in big homes in the city? What's wrong with the country side? Decent real estate prices , lots of trees, fresh milk, healthy women. I HATE merril lynch.

[rant over]

PS: I've shorted USDCHF just now at 1.2183. God save us.

Slight retracement happening. I see hope. Maybe some golden hearted investors are thinking it's as oversold as I am? Fingers crossed, I don't want to lose my pippies!
