Yeah, and anyway, 128K contracts is 16 billion EUR. Chunka money, but hardly the flood gates when talking about hedging and derivatives risk coverage. And net 40K long? 5B. Ducas and IB and I'll bet a number of others do that size of business a day.

I'm going to go watch the last hour of Downfall. The real movie from which the Hilter parodies come. I stopped just where H. killed his dog. That, I'm sure, will turn out to the the saddest moment of the whole thing. The whole thing is on You Tube, BTW. Google sure turned Constanine around from taking down the parodies to putting the whole damn film up.

Pfffff...

Who doesn't?

I've been through a few blackouts...I think they should be random mandatory!

Getting to know your neighbor...even if they're "blow-ins"...like me...is never a bad thing; You should at least KNOW who you want to hate!

Blackouts...it pulls a people closer!

Not for a second!

I just looked at my Oanda practice platform to check the EUR. Its spreading 20 pips! 33 - 53. I suppose that must mean either they're having to eat a little more customer net short than they'd like (assuming anyone really does trade into those spreads), or somewhere in the world the mood is a little sour on EUR.

Maybe there's a gap in the making. And speaking of gap, completely OT, something interesting at WalMart last night. I went there to buy a bunch of dog food, and got a few sugar bombs for me while I was there, too. Then went to the supermarket. Everything I bought was equal or higher at WalMart. Since July, internal and external data indicate they're losing consumer perception as a low cost store, while their perception of having cheap stuff persists. Now I see why. Troubles with China, dunno. Problems with management, maybe. But I own a little of that pig as a recession defensive stock, and as of tomorrow, that will be "owned."

Shortly, it's going to be currencies and financial and ag futures. I'm just too old to trust these prices of precious, and don't understand oil at all.

Good luck this week. It's probably going to come down to whether the CBs have more ammo than there are black swans in this flock. And also down to how good their aim is.

I have argued for years that the cheapest items in WM are the little kiosks with the smiley face as one walks in the store. I believe its all psychological.....reassuring everyone that "SEE" we are low prices.....then as one starts to pick up items without whim, they are getting phuked.......As an architect, I have also postulated that the overhead of the real estate, community kickbacks (to even have their stores in certain town / locations) is completely unsustainable over the long term (their model was lets be present everywhere and crush the little guy everywhere and have everything in our store....ha ha ha, but the problem with that is sustainability.....you cant be the biggest ad the cheapest...I think they tried to squeeze so hard....the competition is slipping through the cracks) Also, as you enter the store, there are 50 check out lines...but every time Ive ever been in a WM (rare occasions), 1-3 checkouts are open. Personally, I shop at Target....stores are clean and the merchandise is ok. As an aside...they have one of the best policies for electronics and in my opinion the best prices for TV's.
