some say they will be downgraded with the euro bond. so will France.. if they do the bond.
Yeap thats why they don't want it but that will be the price to pay sooner or later if they want to keep the EZ alive.

There are some other options but in paper only (and with timid bilateral agreements between the solid players for some fiscal and tax harmonization), like a 2 or 3 tier euro bond market but that will help in the mid term but create the same problems in the long run when the free riders start mismanaging the economy.

btw....mixed numbers in the UK. "good" PMI but GDP a bit lower and only 0.1% away from being the first big one to tick on recession warning quarter. I still think the UK is creating a very decent platform for a rally as soon as risk (especially EZ debt) is cleared from the equation.

Is the only major economy that has actually implement and not only talk about reforms and cuts ...it always pay in the mid term...we'll see

In regards to the GU.... sentiment still seems pretty darn bearish with all the rhetoric from the BOE members calling for more stimulus...

If they increase asset purchasing I can see the GU tumble to the high 1.40's

Yeap bro sure short term...100% agree.

BOE is in FULL dovish mode. Openly printing money and announcing any possible form of QE (the advantage of being big and control your own monetary policy)... the limit is on inflation there but if they make the bet right, risk will be cleared soon (till end of year) and monetary policy can be reversed before it enters in the inflation spiral.

why not? the risk was 3359.. the closer to the risk is the better r/r.. 3259
3258 targets a db.. 3230 targets 290x..
all i need now is 3284... so 3281 will be fine.. st pa says i will get 3278
the st risk now 3327... great r/r for my entry
G-man...I love it!

I'm getting closer...and more and more curious...the closer I get. r/r is where its at!

I'm working on my "hold" portion of the puzzle right now. I get in, rightly...often THE tops or bottoms on a turn...but I get out too quick...at least partially. The math is frightening if I wasn't closing 30% at 10pips. I'll get there. Just need to get used to the tops and bottoms; took me a long time to be able to start finding (and working for) those.

I agree on this. Only thing is...I think I've been saying it for months now...quite a few of them...so I've blown something on my analysis. I've been bottom fishing for ages now, but I still don't think it has arrived.

When it does...plenty of room to run...but its just, when?

hasn't the weekly high already touched off friday's low? good enough in my book given that different retail brokers open and close at different times, my two cents...
