This weekend's talks in Washington can best be summed up by what that good old Brit William Shakespeare once wrote- "Full of sound and fury signifying nothing." It's like the weekend never happened.

And so it goes...



PS - I'll take the one on the right.

not sure about db on the serious note.

By the way, here's what a futures market margin call spike looks like. Evidently there were some longs who were getting sold out (always at market) on the open, and, well, more sellers than buyers.

Took only a few seconds for the bastards to screw them, and then to business as usual. This stuff is $250 per cent per contract.

Yeah...I'm not too paniced about letting go of the long I had on. Was near the low, but plenty of time to get on board if she runs.

might dip even deeper, just something to keep in mind though.
major reversal coming soon, imo.

Youch.
And when I said "took a few seconds" here's the same spike in 5-sec bars. All over in one bar. That's an electronic, cleared market for you. Not like forex, where the market makers screw you slowly and behind your back. In electronic futures, they look you right in the eye, and as you blink, it's done.
