That's a profound insight, the judges are not worthy of judging... Who's casting the first stone?
Well let's be honest: The ratings agencies have served the public so well in the past. It's a shell game, always has been, always will be. Sad really, but then again.....hardly surprising when so much money is at stake.

Hmm, why exactly should we trust anyones ratings other than our own? They've let us down once, I've let myself down thousands of times but I'd still trust my own judgement on where to put my money this year...
Position trader - Anything intraweek is just noise...

Good point. It's funny though: Get a downgrade, and the stock tanks.....sheep doing what sheep do best - follow.

It's our job to look over the entire situation and try to make rational decisions in an irrational arena.

Gold has finally diverged from US equities.

Will it stay that way?

Might be looking to buy little dips soon.

I noticed this as well. First time in quite a while it has diverged from oil, too.

It is a battle of the PIN bars. 0.8650 seems to be the line in the sand right now. The daily bar does not close for another 45 min. but I think the bar is formed enough for today. (IBFX Close GMT 00:00).

My sell stop got triggered today on the EURUSD. I am looking forward to seeing where this goes. Luckily I have plenty of time to find out.

I would be aware that the gap might get filled - then act as support, as it normally does.....unless you are trying to fill that gap?

Keep your eyes open - EUR to be volatile again today in my estimation. There are a few news conferences scheduled for today in Europe that could announce aid packages for Greece. Again.

Yes it did form a double bottom on the 4hr chart.

Now the price appears to be consolidating on the 4hr.

We are waiting for a breakout.

Where was your entry?

I would also point out I am wanting to see .80 or even .72 before it's all over. This could be a long, long, long, trade in terms of time. Nice and boring, and profitable?????

Does anybody else watch US equities and just think to themselves...

WTF?

OK....Big picture I'm bearish US markets, bullish the dollar and somewhat bullish on gold......So every time I see a nice big down-day, I think...

It's about f---kin' time.

And it's nothing but a series of bear-traps.

Now, as a trader I don't trade this, but it does color my perspective, and it's getting harder and harder to believe my own analysis (which I think many of you share) when the everlasting uptrend continues to prove me wrong.

Price is always right.

I'm not ready to reverse my my view, because that seems plainly suicidal, but I may get a bit more conservative cause I'd rather be out than on the wrong side.

Does floating profit increase available margin for the big boys? Cause otherwise I can't figure out where they're getting more money to buy new lipstick for this pig.

Anyways, just a meaningless rant.....

I'm not...

I agree 100%. I understand the idea of running towards the USA and from Europe at the moment, but sooner or later reality has to come back to the picture I would think.

The stock market tends to get a little "over confident" right before it gets pummeled. The trick is timing of course.

I still think the US is a better place to park your money at the moment, but I wouldn't be putting any real money at work right now. (Longer term stock trades as an example. I would be fine with a short term-trade on stocks though.)

Hi CW,

When you trade stocks, are you using CFDs and if so how long do you normally hold positions for?

Obviously this will be trade dependent however I find the holding costs of CFDs can be quite a bit higher than those for rolling over FX pairs/crosses on a daily basis.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Cheers, 4x.
