It certainly is.

Sure its sound boring cause he is a technocrat in term of speech but uffff what a difference from the populist talking heads that have been flooding the wires lately !!!!. These institutions remind us how backward we are going in the develop world (UK and US especially) with the talking heads just talking BS, lies and bias opinions instead of proper technical arguments.

Such a difference in term of substance and content vs politics and BS that it makes look DT or some of the backwards Brexiters look honestly as banana republic politicians. Just compare the official 'doodle' they distribute yesterday as Tax Reform proposal in the US with the level of details in a proper economic/monetary opinion....and that goes beyond right or left ideology...

Called it too late yesterday. I'll call it too early today. Looking for the day to close right here between 1.082x and 1.086x. 1.086x is my guess for the actual D close. With a decent chance of a NY visit to 1.0777 max(doubt it)/1.082x min(likely). between now and then.

He's ex GS so he knows how to' fool the public' with 'finance speak'
Interesting that Mnuchin and Cohn are ex GS as well.........I'm sure the rednecks were impressed yesterday

He's very composed, measured and calculated in his speech. When these guys ask him a left handed question, he gets that sideways smirk that says (I know exactly what you're trying to do here) and usually puts the question to rest with a curt yet sophisticated rebuttal that even the layman can understand (ie retail traders). As you said, stark contrast to 90% of the politicians in the world (not just the populist ones), and more articulated than Yellen. He'd make a great professor

developing ok... eu back up some maybe, between high and 0902. maybe a new eu short opportunity as the usdx does a retrace lower .. the eu may drop sometime after 140 pips +. usdx didnt break the eu, but the eu has some indication it may.. if usdx is going to 101.52 that eu drop would be deeper and probably deeper than the drop earlier in the month.

Still only 1 check on my wishlist. Need to close under 86x to get interesting. Check that conversation I sent you about the rejection and what makes a real one. Sisse opened my eyes a lot in that part of it.
