Only 12 pips ? Shame on you Moody's. You need some help. Call S&P, Fitch & CO to help you close those short positions. Seems like Smart Money are buying this week.
Never expect anything positive from the Euro..

My way of thinking prevents me trading against the trend.
There is no trend otherwise the market would cease to exist-Think about it!
Better say: Meanwhile I am trading the charts..

haha they are so ridiculous. 10yr bund trading at 1.1% 2yr with negative yields thats shows that for thousands big banks and investors Germany is still safe heaven. But this crap Rating gonna force some of em to sell German bunds just bcoz they are no longer AAA. All this insiders dont know one think... they cannot break the euro coz they dont have enough money. Greed ppl dont care about long term goals only fast profits. But someone care about EU thats China. Death for Euro mean same for Chinese export. Simple is that

Last time there was a "going to short announcement" from Morgan St.. , I didn't believe it and lost my shirt. :-) I think following 1 minute chart is the safest bet. :-) Wish you all lots of pips.
