manipulation.. look at the 2007 stock market.. pure manipulation. the euro .8 to 1.6... more pure manipulation.
don't let personal views of a person interferer with the reality. or let that distort what is actually in front you on your charts. it dont make great talk radio or some of the cartoon news channels. but it is as close to the truth as it gets. if we had the type of manipulation we did just a few short years ago. the euro would be at 2.0 and the dow at 20k.. then when the next guy took over, oops..

Bounced off 92. It could keep going and going now.
Bounced in tandem with everything else (ES, ZB, ags, oil, copper), but the latter look to be running out of steam right now. Probably going to be a squirrelly hour here.

92 could send it right back to 3867 if it wants to, but I agree with you, it looks like a bounce so far. I'm watching H4 close on a pin in half an hour and then we'll see.

Will we see another DAX close below the FTSE??? Don't happen that often.

Close. DAX 5439 FTSE 5266 at the close.

Yup. After the close, go figure......
Yep, when it rescheduled like that, I thought that maybe they'll be talking about a bit more than what they all did over the weekend.

So far they are all just kicking the can around from pillar to post. Nobody is making any decisions. Merkel losing Berlin last weekend and Sarkozy's polls at the lowest, they are all way too worried about re-election to do anything about this.

Euro at these levels is actually doing them all a favour, maybe they all decided to sit on their hands till we reach 1.29. Bund rates dipped nicely today, big coupon day tomorrow.

Close. DAX 5439 FTSE 5266 at the close.
All closed holding daily S but I don't know how many more times these levels will hold.

BTW, while we wait for the conference back to the times. do you know what happened with the plans to move UK clocks forward to match continental europe this year?

The Scotch and NI objected, so did the City, they wanted to stay where they were to take advantage of the hour closer to NY compared to the rest of Europe.

I found it very interesting that the FTSE held her own today. The DAX did not have a single winner today.
