A lot of rinses and invalidations, but not bad day after all. Both shorts and longs worked (except when they rinsed us first). Funny enough, reluctant call for a top at 11:59 coincided with exact SPY top at the time. 13:49 call for reversal on X was more exact and paid off well.

[08:17] {magoo} morn
[08:32] {Threei} (EU) EMU Fin Ministers reportedly approve Estonia to adopt euro for Jan 2011
[08:33] {Threei} {Estonia} hmmmm
[08:33] {nemo} so they get in at the bottom of the pyrmid scheme
[08:33] {Les} or are called upon to help their more established neighbours
[08:34] {nemo} bohica estonia
[08:35] {Threei} here is something to ponder about the oputcome:
[08:35] {Threei} (US) FT Alphaville comments on US dollar shortages
[08:35] {Threei} - Notes how foreign banks bought dollar-denominated assets before the credit crisis and this is a problem when US counter-parties will not trust some of these institutions.
[08:35] {Threei} **Reminder from March 2009: According to a BIS report, European banks face a US funding gap of about $2T - Telegraph's Ambrose Evan's Pritchard; The article adds that European banks may have problems rolling over debts; BIS said that European and British banks have relied on an "unstable" source of funding, borrowing in their local currencies to finance long positions in US dollars.
[08:36] {Threei} EUR/CHF Euro hits fresh all-time lows against CHF below 1.3815
[08:36] {nemo} mmmhhhhh....so what do they pay with? Their European companies?
[08:37] {Threei} I don't know.... this is something we haven't heard before unless I missed it
[08:37] {Les} sounds like an excuse to fire up the printing press again
[08:37] {Threei} all I heard was how US has to be sold to finance its debt
[08:37] {nemo} Yeah, to China
[08:37] {Threei} right
[08:38] {Threei} but is Europe has to be sold to US first, then we can resell it to China and be OK :)
[08:38] {Threei} is = if
[08:38] {nemo} good point
[08:38] {nemo} wouldn't that be funny
[08:38] {Threei} US) White House is directing agencies to develop plans to cut at least 5% from their budgets - Washington Post
[08:38] {Threei} - The request follows the Obama Administration's pledge to freeze spending at most agencies for the next 3 years
[08:39] {Threei} UR) Ukraine Central Bank cuts discount rate by 75 bps to 9.50% from 10.25%
[08:39] {Threei} now, that's funny
[08:40] {Les} haha Pelosi promises just after Fitch threatens the UK with a rating downgrade
[08:40] {Threei} by this rate you'd think we are talking about massively rich country
[08:40] {Les} why is it so high?
[08:40] {Threei} beats me
[08:44] {Threei} USD/HUF WSJ "Heard on the Street" suggests the option of devaluing the Forint, which separates Hungary situation from Greece, is not painless
[08:44] {Threei} race to the bottom
[08:46] {Threei} Euro vs US Dollar Portugal Econ Min Da Silva: Difficult to determine if Euro has fallen far enough; Currency stability is important
[08:46] {Threei} - Confident Portugal's austerity measures will achieve desired results
[08:46] {Threei} - Economic recovery in Europe is fragile, but sees positive signs for EU exports
[08:46] {Threei} - EUR/USD parity is not likely
[08:47] {Threei} as if his determination matters
[08:47] {Threei} what, if he decides it has fallen far enough, he waves his magic hand?
[08:47] {Threei} StreetTracks Gold Trust According to GFMS, gold prices may rise to $2,000/oz if debt crisis spreads from Europe to US; Likely to trade in $1,050-1,300 range this year
[08:48] {Threei} now, this kind of things must be criminal:
[08:48] {Threei} BP Pres Obama: Company may have cut some corners on safety of exploded rig; Every person affected by spill must be compensated (36.76, -0.40, -1.08%) (related USO )
[08:48] {Threei} is investigation over?
[08:48] {Threei} they did cut corners or not?
[08:49] {nemo} yes
[08:49] {Threei} if they did, why do we hear about it from president before results are out,
[08:49] {Threei} and if they did not, I say sue him
[08:50] {Threei} this one is funny:
[08:50] {Threei} USD/CNY Reportedly US Senate to hold talks on China's yuan policy with Treasury Sec Geithner on Thursday
[08:51] {Threei} Ukraine and Argentina signed peace agreement between Belarus and Mongolia
[08:52] {RonS} gm all...what?

[09:20] {Threei} Google Inc OnStar, Google Partner to Expand Turn-by-Turn Navigation

[13:01] {nemo} right
[13:01] {Threei} yet market will still go up
[13:01] {nemo} ?
[13:01] {nemo} What?
[13:02] {nemo} on the St. Peter's Gate Exchange?
[13:02] {Threei} *(US) TREASURY'S $36B 3-YEAR NOTES DRAWS 1.220%; BID-TO-COVER RATIO:3.23 V 3.27 PRIOR AND 30.3 AVG OVER THE LAST 10 AUCTIONS

[13:05] {Threei} X short works now
[13:05] {Threei} lol

[13:08] {Threei} yeah
[13:08] {Les} the market playing hard ball to make it work though
[13:08] {Threei} the only problem is...
[13:08] {nemo} ?
[13:09] {Les} bounce zone x here?
[13:09] {nemo} yeah
[13:09] {Threei} one more dive, holding the low, then bounce, IMO

[13:10] {nemo} 200 at .85
[13:10] {Threei} invalidated
[13:11] {larisa} X is hard stock to trade. i was backtesting system on several hundred stocks. X gives you more stops than almost any other when it is not in strong trend.

[13:17] {nemo} right, we'll wait
[13:17] {Les} or at the top
[13:17] {nemo} ROTFL
[13:17] {nemo} ROTFL
[13:19] {nemo} Reminds me of Mel Brooks "Wait for the shake"

[13:26] {Les} still working on avoiding crappy days like yesterday
[13:26] {Les} actually not true. 1st hour was fine
[13:26] {RonS} aapl and gs are some sick pups
[13:27] {Les} GS looking like a rocket launch if market rallies
[13:28] {RonS} fcx could be getting the 3i setup
