[10:26] {rambler} LVS double bottom...at 45
[10:26] {dino} alr sm l .72
[10:27] {rambler} whats your read on LVS Vad...?
[10:27] {Threei} doesn't seem to be playing out rambler
[10:27] {Threei} stays near 45 while SPY goes up
[10:27] {Threei} can be a perfect trap:
[10:28] {Threei} triggers at .10 just when SPY tops out
[10:28] {Threei} so LVS reverses right after luring us in
[10:28] {Threei} I'll stay away
[10:28] {dino} csh rinsed
[10:28] {rambler} or short 45.00 break when spy reverses...?
[10:30] {Threei} that would have been my play if it didn't invalidate
[10:36] {Threei} (EU)France and Austria said to be cut ONE notch to AA+ from AAA by S&P - FT
[10:36] {Threei} - FT highlights that the EFSF does plan a bond sale on Tuesday, Jan 17 for �1.5B.
[10:36] {Threei} **Note: Assuming this occurs, Germany would be the only remaining AAA rated country underwriting the EFSF program. With regard to France there was speculation about whether it would get downgraded by one or two notches, with many analysts saying a one notch downgrade was already priced into markets
[10:37] {Threei} last AAA standing...
[10:38] {dino} psmt sm l .50
[10:38] {Threei} (FR) France Govt now said to acknowledge receipt of notice that it will be downgraded by S&P - financial press
[10:38] {Threei} - This latest report does not indicate whether it will be a one or two notch downgrade.

[11:30] {Threei} It appears that the S&P downgrades of euro zone sovereigns are imminent. Before the open of US trade, another round of France downgrade rumors made the rounds, however this time there was greater intensity to the reports, prompting reports in financial media and responses of "no comment" from S&P itself and the French Treasury. Then after 10:00ET, the French government was said to have acknowledged the receipt of notice that it will be downgraded by S&P.
