[15:33] {nemo} supposed to be a big Eurozone meeting this weekend with an announcement before Asia opens up on Sunday
[15:34] {Threei} which means no one knows what to expect from Monay opening,
[15:34] {Threei} thus no clear idea what to do now
[15:34] {nemo} right
[15:34] {Threei} maybe they'll throw couple more trillions
[15:34] {Threei} you know... beat off the wolfpack
[15:35] {nemo} what'll be funny is if they make a big announcement and the market tanks
[15:35] {Les} shit had a marxist friend tell me other night that I don't know what I'm doing cause I didn't speculate on Euro last weekend
[15:35] {Threei} what else could tbey announce
[15:35] {dino} cover should start
[15:36] {Threei} he suggested buying or shorting it les?
[15:36] {dino} they could announce the spring clothing line
[15:36] {Threei} lol dino
[15:36] {dino} seriously, they could suspend shorts again
[15:37] {Threei} good luck
[15:37] {Threei} that would be total suicide
[15:37] {Les} no, he said the real money makers were in there buying Euro last weekend
[15:37] {RonS} no shorts...only culottes
[15:37] {dino} agree, but they did it in '08 and learned nothing from it
[15:38] {dino} they have been talking about that and dirivatives
[15:38] {Les} quoting some friend of mitterand that Europe must protect itself against india and china, and that 1T Euro announcement was evidence of such
[15:38] {dino} wow, he's way off
[15:38] {Les} He listens to intellectuals and politicians too much
[15:39] {dino} watch what they do, not say
[15:39] {Threei} incredible

[15:45] {Threei} GE) Germany Chancellor Merkel has reportedly denied that she waited too long in pledging support for Greece and that that delay may have led to an increase in expense
[15:45] {Threei} - Note: Rumors this morning on the threat by French President Sarkozy to walk out of the Eurozone highlighted that the threat was directly related to the German delay/reluctance in offering aid on Greece
[15:45] {dino} sometimes you gotta say.... "what the f.."
