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.


Yowsa!
Ah, missed that part.

yes, I try and couple the stock charts with dividend payments.

got a domino pointing to 3549/60, but when we poked the top to 374x. it made a bounce at support to a new high more probable. these 2 sigs are conflicting. s/r at 3585 or 374x will give a clearer picture.

but even if 3585 is broken, it does not mean we will not bounce some after. i would wait for this bounce to sell. it will improve r/r. if your selling. 3585 may be protected. near but not touching may thrust us higher an = + distance above 3703. about 3849 area. no bias for me until. i am scalping. close...
3799 and or 3717 st targets. of course before 3849. maybe a place for a short. st the 5m is almost ready for one. im eying 3762.5 and 3748.4.. there are others above these. but im just concentrating on when the 5m looks toppish for and exit on the long and s a few . then re=enter after L bounce. the 5 is not ready but getting close. atm at 3736

I really am not getting it.

Bonds are solidly over 142, more than a point up. Okay, they're betting the Fed is going to buy the long end, which doesn't have all that much supply and is easy to move. Yields are already down to year (maybe 2 year) lows.

The stock market is pausing, which for a schizophrenic is hard to do. Most commods are likewise flat.

Only the EUR buyers seem to be pricing something good in.

This is going to be a fun announcement. I'm giving the bond long 6 ticks off current move high to wiggle downside until 1400E. I don't know what to do 1400-until announcement; probably cover.

Is strange alright.

Always trying to figure out...what do "they" already know? Are they pumping for a dumping? Would they not want it lower to purchase on "good news" confirmation.

Great/crazy day to witness the forces of the markets...and bastards at play.

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.

They have the money to make the Friday payments, although it's a lot. If they didn't, they could easily have extorted it: less than 3B would be cheap to ECB, relative to the cost of the alternative reality on Friday.

Flat all that. Not going up another level right now. Just "feels" odd at the moment. They may have shook me...that top entry may hold. Don't care. Green all around...and going for a smoke!
