i will make an effort later to share some of mine.........

thanks for making my day..and be back soon. have to run

have to read your link also

has 45Condor had a look at this? i admit she is impressive......i bet she can make you ask for mummy

ingmar, ........read the eurodollar article quickly and really all i know is that Eurodollars (US dollars on deposit in banks outside of the US as per an international agrmt post WW2 to allow the Soviets to hold US dollar denominated accounts in the UK without threat of confiscation) and the futures contract are extremely liquid and a proxy for LIBOR (one other point re Euro dollars is i read somewhere along the way that ED became one of the most important methods for international finance and lending)

to be honest i will have to study Jesse's points and try to connect the dots

unless the China print is horrid i won't touch a Dollar long until at least after Bernanke finishes off the week tomorrow with a speech at 1 PM New York time

big wheels keep on turning.......

this looks interesting.......Singapore reports annualized GDP

(1Q) of 9.9% versus 6.8% expected and -2.5% previously.

you have to think the 'fix' is in......

went short

....Me too, yurow that is......

.......Nice it remainded me of my childhood, nice coment also on zerohedge, thanks roro.......

......problem with the shorts is this one hour chart and the aqua ema30, but if it takes some power it will take it, let see how she rolls.......

shorted AUD/USD, and E/U.......didn't break lower so i dumped the trade. i have no idea what this all about, Chonchy unless the market has been tipped off to Bernanke later today. prices have hardly budged all.

i figured the thing would give way when London opened......no

good thing it is friday finally.......i do not want to be trapped on the wrong side into the weekend either.....

when in doubt get out.my motto. there i times i regret that decision but 100% end up with capital intact on that call

on second thought maybe the market miraculously priced in the China miss......after Yellen of course

the market is tricky.........gotta love it though

......well I don't know why you got out but if you were in dought, in deed you did good, I stay because I have being short for a while now and I will stay for a bit more on this acc, I have being telling is going down for a while also and it hasen't but I think next week it will, if not I will stay short on this acc because I think all this is all pump and dump, my 2 cents......I think it will go lower thatn 1.3000 next week, all I need is 1.3030 to be in safe heaven, after that is all profits, good luck next week, roro......

.......Trying to sell some bikes to the city of healeah is not an easy task, they want the best and sheaper.........

i had to be out most of friday and usually don't like to hold open positions over weekends...........nothing was happening during the London session early so exited. obviously a mistake but trade another day. overall the week was all right.....would have been better if i had held but c'est la vie.

i am glad for you Chonchy. maybe next week it will break the 1.30 lower and start for 1.26 again.

with Spain's IBEX having crashed back to 2009 lows and bond yields rising the trillion for the LTROs apparently not having worked for more than only a few months it is looking more and more like a Humpty Dumpty.

i am looking forward to a slow relaxing weekend and back at it next week

PS......Chonchy. just for the record.....getting out of good trades early like i did yesterday is not the first stupid thing i have done.(lol) there is a list. ..one of the trades i had on post that China print was short S&P in my wife's account. i left a lot of points on that one...ouch!

..........Like I said roro, when in dought the best thing is to get out, that way you will always have another day to trade, what if you wouldn't done it and it would of come out wrong, then you have no one to blame but your self, so is bether to say, I knew it, and trade another day than, sh%$t I should have followed my instints, and I knew it.........so don't worrie for earlie get outs, worrie about not gething out when you had to.......my 2 cents.........I'm still thinking about what you said about your wife's acc, it gave me an idea, I will open another acc in her name, and do the risky trades there, lol

A day before the strip-search outrage, the New York Times reported that "law enforcement tracking of cellphones... has become a powerful and widely used surveillance tool for local police officials, with hundreds of departments, large and small, often using it aggressively with little or no court oversight, documents show.... One police training manual describes cellphones as 'the virtual biographer of our daily activities,' providing a hunting ground for learning contacts and travels."

Government & Society

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages.

How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job? Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present") ; and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.

He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?

Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass - held to a lower standard - because of the color of his skin.

Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest? Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon -affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.

Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin - that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is.

And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.

What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people - conservatives included - ought now to be deeply embarrassed.

The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of cliches, and that's when he has his teleprompter in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all.

Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth – it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.

And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence.

But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job.

When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.
