Noticing that we stay above 1.40 longer, than we are below it, I think it will hold (barely, but will) unless some news don't break it into pieces. Like second round of BOJ intervening .

Nah, I am mad that I was sleeping then . But on Wednesday we will get bulk of high impact news, meaning, that there will be chance for making nice profit, and I am already awaiting so I won't miss it.

The EFSF is basically an empty box filled with promises of money - many of them from the very
people who are most likely to need to borrow that same money. Should they need to borrow
the money, they won’t be able to make good on their promises so there will be less money for them
to borrow." ~Grant Williams~

European stocks down this morning, Futures showing risk off so far this morning.

Booked +110 EurYen. Not going to get greedy here with Yoda pushing the Yen around.

Booked half position E$ +101 and Kiwi$ +97 last night now doubled back down on both positions with stops just under BE. Having already booked a nice profit on both I have nothing to lose an everything to gain if this bear run has anything left in her.

As I want to make you read the *.pdf posted by PipTrapper this morning, I am going to quote Grant Williams once more:


Quote:
"With the carefully orchestrated way in which the word ‘voluntary’ was unceremoniously shoehorned in front of the word ‘haircut’ this week and the unsurprising complicity of ISDA in declaring (seemingly with a straight face) that a failure to receive 50% of your investment back somehow does NOT constitute a credit event, yet another problem was ‘avoided’. However, avoiding that problem today (namely more huge losses for the banks who, along with holding long positions in sovereign debt themselves, wrote CDS protection for other holders of that same debt) could mean that tomorrow brings a whole new set of woes for two obvious reasons:

Firstly, there is no doubt in my mind that in very short order, the lawsuits will begin to cascade downfrom the holders of those CDS contracts. These holders have VERY deep pockets and stand to make or lose enormous amounts of money should this be allowed to stand. they will NOT go quietly - that
you can be sure of.

Secondly - and this is where the whole thing comes full circle - by ensuring CDS protection on sovereign debt doesn’t pay out upon default of the bonds, the Eurocrats have shot themselves in both feet simultaneously because they have taken away the most effective hedge for people buying government bonds." Grant Williams - Things that make you go hmmm...

Very nice stuff indeed PT, thanks for bringing my attention to it.

Mr Soros, who achieved world wide fame when he bet against sterling remaining within the Exchange Rate Mechanism in the 1990s, said that the 50pc "haircut" on private bond holders would only reduce Greek debt by 20pc. He said that was insufficient to stop an economic decline in Greece which would lead to greater social unrest.

At present because the haircut is voluntary European leaders have said the Greek default is not considered a "credit event" which would spark CDS payouts and possibly a new financial crisis.

Don't forget, that the market follows Schrödinger rules. The box remains a superposition of a full box and an empty box, until they open it.

Either way, the box represents either "Less money" or "More debt".
Without a delusion or a rabbit being pulled out of a hat, the situation in Europe has to get worse before it gets better.

Imagine two lines, on drilling its way down (looking for oli, maybe?) and one shooting up through the roof. The average is current price, but as we mentioned earlier, EUR is depending on outside energy resources. So the Euro may start drilling down to fix that.

However, everyone waits to double check, if the box does not contain some explosives capable of shooting it through the roof and to the orbit. But I think that EZ needs more some oli resources than a new space satellite, so drilling seems better option

ADD: Prepare to sound the horn of doom, unemployment in EZ higher this month. CPI green, but increase in consumer prices and higher unemployment... How will they sell that? Still, the difference between expectations and actual values is not huge, so the doom horn waits a little more.

I know this is the place for Euro hating, but since the Japanese have delivered the biggest blow to the Euro in awhile, I find this relevant.

Anybody want to guess what happens next ?

BTW that big flat line was a multibillion dollar buy limit for Yen.

I am not going to make any guesses, but I will make a supposition.

Let's suppose that Japan plans on helping the EZ with their SPIV.
This would mean that more Yens will be exchanged for Euros thereby lowering the value of the Yen even further and giving the Yen bulls a better entry point.
Circles within circles withing circles. Hmmmmm
