Snip-

There is a fourth and final reason why QE is not in the cards. QE is a policy through which the Fed prints money to buy Treasury or Agency debt from the banks. The problem with this is that these bonds are the senior most assets that the banks use to backstop their trading portfolios.

In the case of the TBTFs, these banks only have $7 trillion in assets back-stopping over $200 trillion in derivative trades. The last thing these banks want is to swap...

By definition given by PT below, another form of Operation Twist is not out of the question in Jackson Hole?

In simple terms...
1. QE (Quatatative Easing) is where the central bank takes on risk and dumps currency (money supply / liquidity) directly in the market
2. Operation Twist (OT) is where the central bank exchanges short term securities for long term securities (No direct change in money supply)

We're not out of the woods yet... Here's my updated chart. We've bounced from the top of the raising wedge as I thought it would, but we have failed to close so far below the 100SMA line. I believe we will stay within the wedge with a current top at 1.2600.

Today's high at 1.2560 places us at the top of the daily down trend line and I hope it holds. A move above this opens the door to 1.2600 and possibly 1.26614 (the 50% FIB from the April to July high-low).

Today's move seems a little artificial given the lack of real news to drive it. US 10Y bond rates have not really gone anywhere with the move. Gold hasn't move drastically either. Crude however has gained most of yesterday's drop with the upgrade of Isaac.

The S&P is still in WTF land above 1400.

Right now I see more upside potential than down.

Good idea, but are you prepared to manage both educational and trading thread? I mean, if informations in educational thread are inaccurate, or if someone spams the thread, so you can not find educational info you are looking for, it is useless. And then someone (You, the moderator), has to correct it. You are very kind teacher and helping me a lot, as well as lots of readers of Euranalysis, but to take a role of a teacher of hordes of newcomers to FF could be a very hard.

Edit: And yes, Dan is right with the name.

Attention all posters.

I started a new thread 5 minutes ago.

It is called EurAnalysis Kindergarten.


As this thread has grown both in popularity and in the number of active posters, I feel that this is a solution we should at least try.

Who's with me?
I know it's your thread, but may I suggest "Education" instead of "Kindergarten".

I am not taking on the role of a teacher. I share what I post and I only want to post it once. If I post it there instead of here, then the newbie can go there and search for it. Every once in a while I will create an index to important posts, so spam is not a problem. Also I have limited the new thread so that only posters with 4 or more vouchers can post to it.

It is called EurAnalysis Kindergarten.

If anyone wants to post anything educational, that is where you should post it and then just post a link to it in this thread. This ensures that the bulk of the content in this thread is related to trading and not education.

It is still a thread for all of us to share and learn, but I am starting to see far too...

Thanks for the offer but I would rather keep the posts on my blog only so that there is no chance of plagiarism. You are more than welcome to link to any of my posts with Google Translate though. Cheers

Beautiful lake you live near. Are there any catfish in there? I love catfish.

I had relatives that lived in Farragut right outside Knoxville long time back. One time when I visited, they took me to Peyton Manning's first ever game start against Alabama. Forget which year. TN people are great.
