[10:55] {_carson> ok :)
[10:56] {Threei>  that dive under 29 shook out first portion of bottom hunters

[14:23] {_carson> time to short?
[14:23] {Threei>  Downgrade places Portugal in "Non-Investment Grade Speculative" category
[14:23] {Threei>  growing risk that Portugal will require a second round of official financing before it can return to the private market, and the increasing possibility that private sector creditor participation will be required as a pre-condition.
[14:24] {Threei>  Heightened concerns that Portugal will not be able to fully achieve the deficit reduction and debt stabilisation targets set out in its loan agreement with the European Union (EU) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) due to the formidable challenges the country is facing in reducing spending, increasing tax compliance, achieving economic growth and supporting the banking system

[15:31] {_carson> whys that nemo
[15:31] {dino> as usual,  he will most likely be scolding the republicans
[15:32] {nemo> looking at the charts, they needd to test recent swing highs
[15:33] {nemo> all your trend lines are still intact
[15:34] {nemo> in spy likely to pull back to support in the .40-.70 area after that
[15:34] {nemo> then with earnings next week, launch pad is set
[15:35] {nemo> here's spy: http://www.freestockcharts.com?emailChartID=e8b12147-f1c9-444e-a989-4ba933364188
