Hi Jacko,

Very eye opening post I must say, but NOTHING will change in the U.S. until there is a flushing out in the halls of congress. Your note to "O" will fall on deaf ears.

Where China is putting there money does say alot for their thought process & business skills, or maybe they are listeining to Jim Rogers.

Anyway thanks for your always economically informative post.

In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
"Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."


Uh Oh !!

1. If the graph on the chart starts in the bottom left hand corner and ends in the top right hand corner, the market is going UP.

2. If the graph on the chart starts in the top left hand corner and ends in the bottom right hand corner, the market is going DOWN.

3. If you are still confused, print it off and show it to a 5 year old...they will get it right EVERY time...LOL


I like this simple concept.

If Thomas J. were alive today, instead of just casting a cowardly worthless dissenting vote in Congress, he would be in Chicago with Santelli tearing up that stimulus bill and casting it into Lake Michigan.

The question is can the tax cheat T. Secretary Geithner stabilize the credit and banking system and all bets are the half assed nationalization is a disaster. Also the so called stimulus won't stimulate and only a matter of time before its inflation city. No confidence whatsoever is the US economic policies.

But before the inflation the European Union is on the verge of collapse as one of those countries is bound to default like Iceland which would drive down the value of the Euro and maybe set off a run on the banks in other countries. What is the Euro Central Bank to do then?

Eastern Europe is no better with those currencies collapsing and also the risk of default with the high debt. Who knows what that outcome may be.

Yes, simple indeed, but one question I often ask myself if how far back should you go to the left?

As far as your charting software will take you?

Or perhaps from the latest swing high or swing low?

I'd love to hear what the enlighted people out there think.

For sure very soon a few chickens and a pig in the backyard will be far more valuable then any bank account.
But here in France they still think its not really there problem, we will find out soon..

The Central banks are piloting the economic stimulus plans like drunken sailors
injecting trillions of dollars into the system. Many of these countries are already insolvent and the only thing left is to print money and inflate away the debt. There are too many factions in Europe for any kind of cohesive plan
as the danger of protectionism looms.

Eastern Europe poses incredible problems for the European Union with the amount of debt and risk of default. The upheaval in Eastern Europe would open the door to Russia or maybe a home grown coupe.

As all the pundits call for the dollar to tank that is a sure sign that the dollar will remain strong in the near term. But I would maintain a short term outlook with a tight SL as this high volatility can turn things on a dime.

if she runs up to fill the gap, i'm shorting at 2650....100tsl
This time I was lucky enough to be watching.

I was stopped out earlier today with +47 pips and I was happy to just watch - resisting the urge to get in again quickly. Well, then the price moved right up past 1.2650, so what could I do? I just had to get in again

Actually, I wasn't so rash. My plan was not to enter in the bottom half of the trend channel and 1.2650 is about in the middle on the daily chart. It's more than a 50% pullback of the fall over the weekend on the 4-hr chart. It's right on my 4-hr trend line and just above my 1-hr trend line. (No good round number, though.) I waited for a pause then entered at market with a 100 pip tsl. Here's hoping ...

Cheers

i don't know wahat you're talking about and i'm not sure if you do. Actually for the moment there is no such thingy as a stimulus plan in europe. No one is printing any money as euro is a common currency and one country can not print anything without the agreement of the other euro states (simplifying just to make a complicated issue easier). Printing money stays as the american way of solving problems...for the moment we see no actions of this kind in Europe and hopefully nothing will change in this matter. When it comes to protectionism it is against all the european agreements and founding documents of the union and is really unlikely to happen despite sarkozy talking a lot about it.

and this is what irritates me the most in your statement. This is showing clearly no understanding at all of european situation in america. These are not eastern or central european countries that pose incredible problems for the Union. Actually eastern and central european countries are the only members of the union that still have a positive GDP growth and stable financial and banking sytems. The problems we have in europe are caused by the braking economies of france and germany. The new countries of the EU are doing quite well thanks to lower labour costs and so on. if it wasn't for speculators and some incomprehensive acusations as the ones stated above in your post that keep on susciting the bad mood of investors we would have no problems at all because our economies are developping at the fastest pace in europe and are able to show their value in the times of crisis. What's more the eastern and central european states of the EU don't even have the euro (except for slovakia) so the situation here isn't as important for the value of the european currency as you might think.
you might have a point when it comes to russia profiting from the turmoil in europe somehow (especially in Ukraine (obviously not a part of EU)). I'm not sure what you mean by stating that we're facing a home grown coupe in eastern europe. Do you mean some kind of dictatorship or a military junta? if you do than it's simply an unbelievable bullshit. if i misunderstood you than sorry

everything can happen. you might be right when it comes to dollar strengthening but i don't see any fundamentals behind it except for the risk aversion issue

sorry if it went out harsh...i don't intend to offend anyone
