Quarterly Outlook


On the FA side:
[list][*]Election Quarter so any major economic bad news will be blamed to the other side of the Atlantic until election results. However, this season debt soap opera seems to be over and only the final episode (which everybody already knows the outcome) left: Spain bailout can trigger a final (and prolly for a long time) risk wave across the board.
[*]We are officially getting back to "normal" times after 4 years of risk/panic/politicians rumors...
Perfect pairing with me coffee.

Great stuff, sisse...many thanks.

Heyoooo, everyone.

The wedding was pretty awesome this past weekend, and the town of Murphys is legit. Tons of wineries and super cheap wine tasting within walking distance of the house we rented via VRBO.com

It's good to be back though. I'm still holding my Euro shorts as they didn't get to target yesterday and price has somewhat reversed on us, although it's still holding the down trend nicely.

EA is a bit more of a bitch and seems to be happy just completely ranging. I'm still of the bias that it will break eventually to the downside...
I have another wedding next month that I am in as well... but at least i'm not the best man this time! To much work, not enough drinking! haha. I'm thinking being a 2nd or 3rd man will do just fine! It's going to be small, quick and easy... and then reception time .

Ahh man, I love weddings. The couple is a treat too.

Hmm.... Gambling != calculated risk taking!

But... with that being said, you will find in gambling, there isn't a single game where you have an edge > 50%. Trading it is possible to have an edge much higher than that.

I'm still pissed off at the Black Jack table, bunch of bastards love serving me 12-14's... hit? Facecard. Stand? Dealer hits 20 or 21. I hit 21? Dealer hits 21! I have no luck. lol

roulette, no matter what the previous sequence is, (unless the wheel is rigged) every new spin is still slightly less than 50% odds, even less on a us wheel with the extra double zero slot... because the ball and wheel have no memory, each new spin is a discrete event...

bare in mind that fed's evans talking up qe on cnbc earlier fuelled the rally into the ny open..
u hear people saying that. but before he uttered a word, weeks ago, a bounce was expected in that area. and posted dozens of times.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can
