It is my understanding that the US has profited by lending the banks money. All the money repaid so far has been with intrest. Maybe we can lend EU some $ and make some profit off of them. I say lend them a trillion. All it costs US is the cost of printing. Yes, it will devalue the dollar, but that is happening anyway.

Regards,

And there is MBS (mortgage-backed securities) bailout needed soon... ..don't forget.

Aren't these breakouts fun to trade if you are mindful of the fakeouts, they can be very profitable.

Am I the only person on this forum who had no clue that this upward movement was about to happen?

Could the posters who are congratulating each other or their brilliant long positions, please explain why they took such a position - or was it perhaps just lucky timing?

And please, no comments about fakeouts etc... The fact is that we had a huge 10 minute bull run in the middle of a huge downward movement. If anyone was able to see something in the charts, stars or anywhere else, please share.

Apologies for my cynicism, I would just like to...

Actually U.S. just announced they might be putting even more funds into the IMF.

we fund the IMF, so we are bailing out Europe essentially ... still.
we do help fund it. we are a member.

That is exactly the whole point, breakouts of ranges/support zones after a failed test to the opposite side are exactly the kind of setups you are looking for. The fact that the IMF bailout rumour helped in exacerbating the resultant move is just a bonus, who cares. Did I expect a 50+ pip bar on the M5, of course not, am I complaining? Why would I, you always get the largest moves when the technicals and fundamentals are pulling in the same direction.

Right now we have had a definitive break of the upper zone and the day's TL set by Asia, after a fakeout. Next target will be the lower zone unless we form an intermediate one in between which is not likely this time of day.

It is a little bit more complicated then that. We didn't make any money off of it no matter what they say.

If you calculate interest lost, insured money lended out {after all of this, the bailout was still 100% insured just like before against 'bad' bets}.

& in bonds, etc & the restructuring of those rather it be more bonds or interest added, etc.

I stated before, many don't know those but 'accounting' is completely different for 'not-for-profit' accounting aka gov't & such. In this type of accounting, money is just funneled around and transfered around.

but in the end - IMO all of these bailouts are NOTHING more then paying back insured bad bets {being the investors from Europe, Asia, etc} with banks being the middle man. Banks made their money by selling insured loan packages, they made money but those loans flopped ... they were insured so banks are receiving lawsuits from the investors & who insured all of these...

the U.S. gov't. So as more lawsuits come in, I see more QE if settlements can't happen.

This is all very basic in IMO strictly.

Sorry, I mistyped, I meant they announced they would not be, and then I said we are still essentially bailing out Europe because we are the main contributor to the IMF.

I don't think we are contributing to the IMF because we want to change the way the international monetary programs work.

it was in the WSJ that they said a source claimed that there would be no contributions.

But if we don't get China to 'go with the flow', I can see the U.S. contributing in the next few years again in the big term as these European loans are just pushing off the inevitable.
