I'm so confused, Quant...I just don't know which one to take. I'm already large...6'4"...220lbs, but don't want to be small. Really want to be any larger though, either. Goodness me...what to do???

I'll go ask Alice...I think she'll know!
Damn boss, we'd look like a bunch of monsters walking around especially if it was me and my younger bro and his friends... 6'0" at around 210'ish, and i'm the shortest of my bro's group of friends. One of his friends towers at 6'7"ish and around 250 lbs.

Buncha big boys But I love it... few of my friends are more around the 5'5" ish range and tiny weight wise to boot. They don't talk back much though

cloggie mentioned KOSPI. I'm just looking at it, it's 1.3% red.

judging by the last time, that would suggest dollar strength...on the other hand, this time we don't know where will it go...so, let's see...
big numbers are our friends...

Hi Jazz according to Alan Kohler in the Standard and Poors statement it was made clear the downgrade was mainly about governance and not financial.
S and P also admitted they got their forecast for the deficit wrong by $2US trillion according to the US Treasury.
These couple of factors may be enough to soften the blow a bit so to speak.
The forecasting snit was about C.B.O. "baselines" and such arcane, back-looking actuarial nonsense. If you distill down what S&P said, it was: (a) unless the US does something real, the debt burden will cross 100% of GDP within a decade, and (b) looking at the state of governance, those morons in Washington jointly have no clue as to what something real would look like, and the next election is likely to make it even worse.

There is so much capital fleeing Europe right now that U.S. money market rates went negative on Thursday, according to Bloomberg. So Friday was a perfect time to do it. The downgrade has been in, de facto, for over a week, first signaled by CME haircutting gov't securities used as clearing collateral.

The "tells" were all over the bond market and currency markets on Friday, with speculators taking positions in classic sell the rumor buy the news (or vice versa, as appropriate, of course, but you know what I mean).

So there really isn't any blow to soften, except to the false pride of the U.S. government. Unless investors re-establish confidence in the European banks, there's going to be so much demand for US Treasuries, that S&P could have given them Greece's ratings and nobody would really have cared.

See...now I wouldn't like to be that tall. Wouldn't like to be a sliver over what I am now...still waiting to shrink a bit with age! Always just outside that "comfort-zone" on planes, trains, buses etc. Just outside the "normal" figures used to build everything...feckin knees never quite make the squeeze!

Yeah...indeed...wouldn't be much sass coming back walking around in that group!

That's where a lot of my weight comes from... though, I think running as of late has been thinning my muscle mass out a bit... Need to get back to the weights again!
