See your point, but I know traders which especially after 2008 were looking for stocks to rise 30% and then buy...

very interesting to keep in mind when we have a crash in 2012-2013.... doesn't work in FX market though...

Old Quant has got to be your man, no?

Actually...do you mean live data in as well...or just historical?

Rumours Greece is considering buggering off. Now that would be the best solution for all.

Supposedly kaiboshed as "comical" rumors from Greece now, though.

Siemens is a bit of a special case, they are a bank, they can easily deposit with the ECB, they can even use the desensitising process to earn a decent return on their cash.

And that is exactly what they did, according to a statement from Siemens. They did it however back in July so the FT seemed to have gotten its facts wrong.

The big story is now, why is the ECB offering higher rates and competing with commercial banks?????

Was thinking that. They only offer about .05% more, but on large sums...I guess its a bit of a no-brainer.

And we shrugged off Italian downgrade, back where we started. Is this genuine, or just some serious short covering? 3670 will tell, once more.

Even stocks are rallying.

I was not a total fool then for covering on the trade last night......Technically we are due a correction, it was only the funnies/news giving us that run last night. Luckily I had my orders in place to take advantage of it. I love doing that.

Yeah, saw that this morning. Interesting indeed. The end is only with "some" commercial banks, no view on CB swaps and that is what really matters.

WE all know the French/Italian banks are screwed, I mean even a muppet can see that just by looking at the share price. China is bolting the barn door a bit late.

I don't see that as a big deal, especially with the ECB announcement for unlimited 3 months dollar liquidity last week. IT is all tying in now though. It cleans up the bigger picture a bit.

Did you see the link I posted yesterday from the Bundesbank re EFSF bank license, they must have read our discussion here from last week.....

Freakin hilarious. Looks like the Bundesbank is reading my suggestions here on FF.

Covering, watching and waiting. Let's see what you got. Tech wise, we have a further retrace in sight here. Not going to preempt it though, I will reload if confirmed.
