28 v? it was pin balling 25 to 30 long enough, if the bull run is done then why hold it up so long?
Close/Opens. It may not be done, may just be going down to gather more strength.

Though, I won't start selling until I see the intermediate trend form LH/LL type of deal. Really been digging trading with the [intermediate] trend lately.

I've really taken to heart the saying "We are long until we are short, and short until we are long".

Correct that happens in 2014, the EU has slowly gone from unanimity to the current qualified majority, to the new qualified majority in 2014, when a majority of 65% is needed for policy change (based on population), currently 75%. There is some "small minority" clause in there somewhere where under certain conditions a minority can ask for a "review" not a repeal. Not sure how that one works, need to read up on Lisbon again.

It is called the QMV and was accepted in the Lisbon treaty. So in effect, Germany/France/UK can run the EU from 2014...
Quality posts mate (both you and OldQuant last posts). That is very in depth information,

As you said, not really interested in the ultimate details on that QMV but the issue and importance is clear and can change a lot the efficiency and speed (faster or slower depending on the big players) on how things work.

In any case, all the domino effect "precautions" (EFSF technicalities included) are set for Greek default, just waiting for the final push.

Are they going to be enough to avoid panic, domino and credit crunch 2? Size-wise and technically yes in my opinion but expectations and markets are well pass the OK levels and the reaction (after the knee jerk reaction) are bad at best...

we'll see

Damn populist politicians. Stupid Reid trying to mess with China again and killed my longs in the ES...they should be ban from making market comments (and stupid decisions...).

In any case, on the euro Chiina, Russia and now BRICs to support the euro. The whole world behind the default ...let see is enough to stop the domino effect and bank collapse.

Bummer. Hate when those bastards do that. One of the reasons I have started waiting for a cluster to form before putting stops to be. I'd rather have a loss then a premature knockout of a profitable run.
