[11:25] {Threei} look at this
[11:25] {Threei} (US) Fed's Bullard: Home ownership to be viewed as more fundamentally risky for new generation; there is no sense in 'reinflating' the housing bubble
[11:26] {Threei} who would have thought - Fed official woth sense of balance and wisdom
[11:26] {Les} he'll be sidelined or otherwise muzzled
[11:26] {Threei} all we heard from them before was "housing to be boosted back up in order for recovery to take root"
[11:27] {Les} well I guess that counts as something we haven't heard 1000 times before
[11:27] {dino} nfx sm l .50

[11:37] {RonS} so 3i, did ese get mugged in Ottawa?
[11:38] {nemo} we should get th 137.30 area
[11:40] {Threei} no idea
[11:41] {Threei} I can't remember whether he said a week or two
[11:41] {Threei} - Uncomfortable calm has settled over global markets this morning as Greece begins its debt swap
[11:41] {Threei} very precise
[11:42] {Threei} The prevailing sentiment is that Greece and its euro zone partners have arrested the threat of contagion for the moment, as the debt exchange moves forward and national euro zone parliaments appear prepared to authorize the bailout. Many are wondering, however, whether the PSI exchange or the votes will be completed without further turbulence
[11:43] {cipher} ibm trying to b/o here
[11:43] {RonS} contagion trying to b/o after being arrested...
[11:46] {Threei} lol

[11:50] {Threei} - S&P believes that the swap has, at least in this instance, changed the ECB's status from implicit super-senior creditor to an explicit one.
[11:59] {nemo} wonder if this market will ever pull back
[12:00] {Threei} no
[12:00] {Threei} this topping will be done at once when time comes
[12:00] {nemo} I got a ton of stocks at their daily highs and just keep pushing it
[12:00] {Threei} yes
[12:01] {Threei} what I am trying to say is:
[12:01] {Threei} oftentimes tops are made over certain period of time, with this gradual rollover,
[12:01] {Threei} this group, that group,
[12:01] {Threei} pullback, new push,
[12:02] {Threei} until the top is finally made and one of retreats does n't result in new highs
[12:02] {Threei} This particular one is likely to be more like major bottoms are,
[12:02] {Threei} made abruptly, with no warning
[12:03] {Threei} so when it comes it will catch an awful lot of people with their pants around their ankles
[12:06] {Threei} what, you are all taken aback by this incredible nugget of wisdom?
[12:07] {nemo} brilliant as the sun
[12:07] {Threei} I know... I can't even look at myself in the mirror
