I'm sure you'll get something!

I'm just starting to eye 93ish for more shorts now. If you were going for 40ish...that would kind of make sense.

EDIT: And speaking of that, ZH now:

"US equity futures have pulled back to - 11/12am ET Friday levels - extinguishing the late-day hopium-inspired melt-up."
Yeah...I saw that!

This doesn't smell good. With two days to FOMC, where QE is all but a market view certainty, there's deflationary action across the board. Oil's over a buck down in spot physical, AUD keeps getting hammered, ES has no pulse, etc, etc.

And the selling in everything is coming in waves, the kind that position takers use. I'd be careful scalping pauses and bounces long in here until markets settle a little.

Good call!

Aussie is mildly tempting me to start scaling in long...but I'm yet to see any sort of reason to, yet.

Nice your 37's have come about, Q! I never doubted you...not once!

not for me.
Good call on this, g-man!

I certainly didn't leave many on the table. Would have put a little dent in my start to the week here had I held. Wasn't going to be long AU and short EU over the weekend...one had to go. Right choice was made...thanks for the input.

The contagion of hopium!

Oh yeah...the friend I met on Friday is an avid Drum smoker. I told him about the LBO...Virginia incident. He didn't believe me. Let me see your pack, please! Virginia all over it. He was stupefied!

I asked him what he was mixing it with? He doesn't...at all...but was good for a laugh!

Lets see, jawny-two-times...lets see!

Edit: The gag was because of your double post. Site crapped out for me at that time...probably did for you, too.

Borrowed from a character in the film Goodfellas. Jimmy two times - would always repeat things...I'm gonna go get the papers...get the papers.

Wise guy!
