Targeting to fill the gap at least?
Which gap would that be? Cumberland Gap? Delaware Water Gap? The Sweater store?

Oh, you mean the Friday close!

Just kidding.

Speaking of gaps, was there any announcement which attended that little fireworks in e/c last night?

What is this nonsense? Don't they already rape us enough on capital gains?

Closed out my "playful" long UJ trade. Don't really want that blowing about this afternoon. Wasn't huge, but big enough to hurt if it goes grimm. Pending order still above in case Noda lays down.

3750 just moved up to 3760.
Almost there.. It could go higher. No shorts for me just yet.

.0197 should be a good indication of things to come. Last few hours have been very wicky (15m)... bloody indecisive bastards.
Very wicky. Needs a shave...too much stubble. Trying to paint a decent looking V now.

We'll see...gotta pay to play. Still love their interest rates...and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

When I went to bed last night, it was still not clear: is Greece going to get their 8B installment before Friday, or do they have to pay their interest out of their T-bill auction proceeds? No problem if they do, of course, the US does it all the time. There's even a term for it: Tax Anticipation Bill.

For the Greeks, they could say Bailout Anticipation Bill.

Didn't see anything specifically from SNB...but, fingerprints are ALL over the scene of the crime.

No...read again...this is good, this time.

We would be exempt. Stocks and bonds to be hit...not FX.

At least that's the way I read it.

Yeah, but why north, and why from there? Moving the goalposts while it was relatively cheap to do so, maybe?

Yeah; I was just annoyed that they are introducing another tax.

I have stocks floating around out there too... weekly chart trade those bastards lol.

Well...the SNB only wants it one direction, no? Don't think south is in their dictionary anymore.

Talk now is they have moved the goalposts and want 1.25 rather than original 1.20.

Tis their money...not mine. Play on, boys and girls.

They are not going to get $8 billion euros until October not sure how it works with the interests but is official and Merkel and Greek Prime Minister will meet next week to confirm the deal that will be hand in after the final review first week of October.

That's only for Europe, though. Unsure would the US ever sign up for that.

But...up until that article, the talk was to tax everything...FX, too.
