Now if I can just remember to look at the higher time frames and trust my eyes... It is all there for us to see, no secrets, just facts.. Should be so easy to do. Any other job you have so much miss-information to weed through.
Good Trading To All ; Ken Lee

I know it's all there on FF news page for all to see but just thought I'd stick it here while it's relevant:

"BOE Governor Mervyn King;

Due to hold a press conference about the Inflation Report, in London;

More hawkish than expected = Good for currency;

BOE Governor Jul 2003 - Jun 2013. Volatility is often experienced during his speeches as traders attempt to decipher interest rate clues;"

I'm flat at the moment

I missed the beginning of the speech, but bloomberg are showing the quotes

BOE's King says reasons to question if recovery will be sustained.
King sees 'solid reasons to expect slower spending recovery'
King says uk has massive policy stimulus
King says collapse in global trade has hurt uk trade

He's basically saying that recovery will be slow, and he is cautious, which will have knocked some of the bullish momemtum.

Listening to King, I wish he had more influence on economic policy, he actually comes across as someone who knows what he is talking about, and takes action solely for economic reasons and never for political reasons.

Thanks Daffy.

I also hold the view that Merve goes about his task in the right way (though I'm not saying he's completely free from political influence).

Now then Navin, about my bullish sentiment
