[15:15] {dino} sounds familiar. in 30 days or so they will
[15:16] {Threei} see, they now add "at the moment"
[15:16] {Threei} that's honesty

[15:37] {dino} maybe so nemo, close to them
[15:37] {nemo} yeah, if the jobs report is good on friday and no external news, we'll get a short squeeze on friday afternoon
