Important to keep the context in mind as things have changed since this post. It's not only about us rates up and Europe on the floor at this stage.

waking up to an alarm.. shorted one eu. 0940.. giving 20 sl.. some R below 0948 may slow or stop it..
i am vulnerable to a HH messing up my setup. so in the interest of being cautious my stops are b.e. a HH would probably make a low lower than the current 090x one, probably 089x b4 a HH.. at that point i may be more concerned to being stopped out. atm 0760.x is in the scope. for the entry i chose on this tf.. it dont interfere with those seeking 1316. but it may allow a new lower entry. meanwhile if the usdx breaks up in the process. it may make me hold for a deeper target.. lots of "ifs and butts" atm..

1.0970 area is still there. A HH is due, still, sideline with short side bias.

You keep posting these as if Trump becoming president automatically made America do a 180 into full blown recession within the span of 100 days. For every one of these you post, there are equal amount or more saying the exact opposite, and they are just as irrelevant to the president in such a short amount of time.

saying something dont make it true. the proof will be for the future to decide. it will be decided with numbers, not opinions. u me and most of us have known a bullshit artist in our life. i will call his counterpart in my life Billy Morales. other than having a hotel empire and being president. they 2 are twins. i relate to him as i do trump. lots of fun stories to hear from him, very entertaining. i was there live in some of the embellished stories. but it's not the reality that is needed to entertain others. its the story, and the story teller. admittedly Billy could talk the panties off a sunday school teacher (he did). he just would be a little over his head running a country. from the elimination of the state department (rhetoric) and so forth. he has crippled himself with people presenting their personal agenda to enrich themselves. thus filling the swamp. he is more concerned about tv ratings, than actually doing the job. in short i posted fact as for haley and the numbers. i suck at being a follower of bullshit. i treat opinion as opinion. back it up with some facts, and its has more weight in my opinion.

unemployment was near a low during campaign. we were told our lives sucked. i didnt place the bar, he did. now he keeps lowering it as reality sets in.

...and Europe going home in a soft day across the board after the news both from Europe and US. Not much to see or do. Expecting very little for the rest of the day and tracking the roll in the Euro today.

I agree with you in this one.

--> If it wasn't for the strength of the US economy and the solid recovery in all fronts, the amount of noise and political non sense would have already dent the confidence in most countries. It wont last forever, but definitively thinking that the US economy just got softer because of DT 100 days is not true at all.

--> It will in my books if he continues like this without any concrete actions in the economic front, warmongering and protectionism in the foreign policy front but we are not yet there. Numbers don't lie, macro trends are very strong and come from +4 or more years of recovery. It will take more than a couple of flops and some time to shift if things start going sour later in the year.

--> More interesting while the unaware keep talking about NK, the wall, and whatever is the tweet of the day, today Exxon reported the best Q numbers in decades!!!...surprise surprise? no, not really. Thats where the real deal is not in the noise and tweets to keep the media guessing and talking about everything else but the real things that are cooking in the background...

Well put. I also think the day all this is considered normal is the beginning of the end. It's not same shit, different prez. Its not your spin vs my spin. Not even close. Ill stop there though because that subject deserves plain as day evidence and detail that doesnt need a hint of spin to show it's fubar but also doesnt belong here in this forum.

We all have seen it but this will be a classic for the years to come and think its should be publish in the thread to remind us that : ' This is not normal'.

The full episode is just very good. Very few people in the media (comedian or not) have the balls to be loud and clear when you need to be loud and clear....
