all smacks of a one world order agenda...
And that's why I've never been afraid of the one world stuff. Even oligarchies don't get along all that well. The rulers of England, Germany, and Russia who generated the first World War were all cousins.

Vote lost in Ljubjana, will the caretaker government sign off on the EFSF as they have little to lose? Alternatively, how quickly can they organise elections over there?

The whole day has been entries driven by rumours, goss and news.

What we need now is approval for Greece to get the new tranche, that will get us through December. Conference call still scheduled for 40mins from now.

Plenty of solutions, the caretaker government can sign off, they can organise elections fairly quickly. Alternatively, just givce Greece the 8Bn this week and the can is rolling down the road again till December, that in my eyes is the easiest solution. The EFSF is out of money anyways before it even starts, not going to count on that one making a heck of a lot of difference. Unless of course they give it a sneaky banking license, that will change the landscape dramatically.

Techwise we are in a nice little correction, the only thing giving us dips today is news/goss/rumours. You can look at it two ways, great to scalp or good opportunity to join the techie crowd.....

If that were the case (and I'm not saying it isn't), that would be like having a rule that votes on snow plow funding can only be done with all congressman from Mississippi present.

well it seems the market sentiment is to have greece default sooner than later.
have the private sector initiative results on greece been released yet? letting the banks unload 40% of thier greek exposure should do them well.

And i think the 8bn is the easiest way too. on top of the the T-bills today didnt tank so they could just issue more of them right? unless some EU law prohibits that... but considering Greece has another 2BN due on friday the easiest thing is really just to give them the money...

I'm so bored that I've been sitting here providing liquidity, one contract at a time, on the M6E (12.5K EUR each). $1.06 commish per trade. So far, on six trades, I'm up a total of just under two bucks.

I either need to go find a life, or get a slot machine in here. Later.
