so things are good now, huh

I failed to react and missed everything.
Yep. I never jumped back on board. Had a shitty ride north end of week last week, and closed flat for the weekend... and of course this week it's like a freaken shooting star. LOL

Yes... always prefer to buy the LH's anyways when they present themselves.
watching to c if 3826 3822/49 gives up something. 3816.6 is just 5.5 pips from 3826.. im just scalping. but i would not long here. w/o a pullback.. a pullback if that 3826 # means anything its 3600ish... the other ones posted are smaller. anyway if we are in a channel 3830 or anything around here is topish..

It was just local politics. Slovak government made a huge political mistake linking the confidence vote with the EFSF.

First they agreed on a second (and third) vote if the 1st one failed so opposition votes that were in favor just abstained in the 1st vote making the government collapse, getting ride of the PM and hours after announcing that they will approve it this week. In simple words, a classic example of politics in action.

"Good" news for the EZ keep flooding the headlines every 30 minutes and now they are just riding alongside with stock markets to test the key weekly/daily R (in ES 1210xx and all other indexes) before FOMC Minutes...

Well IMO the TA do or break is on the last monthly swing low 1.383x. If they fail to break back (the one I am betting), bears will have a clean sustainable downtrend confirmed. However, I agree that they fully recovered the panic part move down (which for me makes perfect sense from a market perspective).

A bit different view there. I am neutral on stocks. ES is testing key weekly/daily R @ 1210 above is air to last breakout (QE2 end) point 124x.xx which is also the TA reason I am not bearish until is tested.

On the FA side, lots of free money guarantee (CBs) until December, earning season starting (started bad yesterday but there is lots to come), and FINALLY NFP ticked up after 6 consecutive disappointing months so a couple of average and slightly better numbers without EZ short term fears will put us on the 124x.xx / 128x.xx range for the years close with the usual (usual in a neutral range) good legs down in the middle.
