[09:50] {Threei}  (US) Senate Majority Reid (D-NV): McConnell's debt limit solution proposal is interesting and unique
[09:50] {Threei}  what did he suggest?
[09:51] {RonS} too complicated to explain...
[09:51] {Threei}  forget about debt and borrow more, with firm promise never to repay?
[09:52] {nemo} he threw it in Obama's lap
[09:52] {Threei}  ***Reminder: On July 12th, Minority leader McConnell proposed to allow President Obama to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5T in three increments through the end of 2012. Congress could vote to disapprove each increment, but the president could veto its resolutions of disapproval, and the debt ceiling would then rise. The proposal is clearly meant to shift all the blame for raising the debt ceiling onto the president, and away from Republicans.
[09:52] {nemo} smart politically
[09:52] {RonS} ...but it gives prez authority to unilaterally raise ceiling
[09:52] {nemo} He's thinking 2012 elections
[09:52] {Threei}  no go RIMM
[09:52] {RonS} not gonna fly w/ house repubs...
[09:53] {nemo} I don't think it would with the dems either, they know it's a bullet in Obama's reelection head
[09:54] {Threei}  as far as political maneouvering goes, this is brilliant
[09:54] {nemo} yeah
[09:54] {RonS} bad, bad precedent
[09:54] {Threei}  if RIMM is a rinse, I am going to suffocate myself
[09:55] {RonS} Imperial President
[09:55] {Threei}  true Ron, but the other side of this coin is - do republicaans want to be responsible for US default?
[09:56] {Threei}  who knows who will win PR war of putting it on the other guy
[09:57] {Threei}  Reminder: Fed Chairman Bernanke's monetary policy testimony before Congress begins at 10:00ET
[09:57] {Threei}  - Bernanke will field questions about the state of the economy and will likely be asked about the potential for more quantitative easing or other stimulus action. Bernanke is expected to be more cautious about the economic outlook given recent data. He will likely be non-committal on the potential for any new stimulus, though the FOMC minutes released yesterday showed that all options are still being discussed.
[09:57] {Threei}  OK, not a rinse

[15:57] {_carson} what else?
[15:57] {Threei}  carson, what difference doesa it make?
[15:57] {Threei}  it' setups that win or lose, not symbols
[15:57] {_carson} trying to learn
[15:57] {dino} otex spike
[15:58] {_carson} i take winning charts and study them overnight to see what worked
[15:58] {_carson} and why it worked
[15:58] {Threei}  wrong thing to learn
[15:58] {Threei}  it's not like some symbols win and some don't
[15:58] {_carson} no but chart patterns would be similar
[15:58] {Threei}  yes
[15:58] {samire} carson.....how did u know ?
[15:58] {Threei}  which makes symbol list meaningless
[15:59] {_carson} ya but i can take the list and study the patterns
[15:59] {_carson} not love the symbol
