11:32] {Threei} allow me to copy/paste a brief response I've made elsewhere about EU situation
11:32] {Threei} IMO, they are in a spot with no solution at all.
11:32] {Threei} Cutting spending by indebted countries is that same austerity that is killing Greece, as economy comes to a screeching halt. Not cutting spending is a) digging deeper hole and b) impossible as lenders stop lending or hike the interest beyond bearable. This situation is created by excessive borrowing in the past that built up huge segment of economy working to satisfy debt-fueled demand. No more borrowing means this demand dries up. Maintaining this demand requires more borrowing... which is impossible because of lenders stopping lending... etc, circle is closed.
11:32] {Threei} The whole construct is non-viable, it had an expiration date on it from the get-go and current situation is merely the end of the rope. Debt exceeding ability to repay it can be extinguished by default or printing; their attempts to outwit this simple fact are akin to Baron Munchausen's idea to lift himself by hair out of a swamp. See "bootstrapping."
[11:33] {Will49} no kidding
[11:34] {nemo} small fcx .71 l
[11:34] {nemo} looking for .95
[11:35] {dino} agree 3i. for ove a year i have stated they are screwed by giving up their ability to print

11:42] {Threei} you have nothing on us, inhabitants of Titan
11:42] {Threei} we have sirens
[11:42] {Will49} I've been assigned to monitor RT by my leader Kofi Annan
[11:43] {Will49} He'll be here in person to straighten you guys out once and for all
11:44] {Threei} why? what's his beef with us?
[11:44] {Will49} i'm just mentally wandering
[11:44] {Will49} don't make me justify my metaphors:)
[11:45] {dino} his beef, "evil speculators"
11:45] {Threei} oh
[11:45] {Will49} yeah...that's good enough reason
11:46] {Threei} right... forgot who we are
[11:46] {Will49} also, Kofi loves to travel and stay in nice hotels
11:46] {Threei} put him in Days Inn
[11:46] {Will49} don't you have a spare bedroom?
11:47] {Threei} promise his great location right at the harbour... but make sure his room is right above the restaurant
[11:47] {nemo} I thought I'd give him one with an underwater view
[11:47] {Will49} I'll email him right now
[11:47] {Will49} OK Vad, pay attention to your scanner, I need somepractice

11:51] {Threei} The ECB rate decision was the event of the morning, and Draghi's failure to provide more specifics about the bond buying he hinted at last week have slammed European equities. The actual policy announcement was no surprise, with rates firmly on hold, but Draghi's remarks were seen as very disappointing by markets. The essence of his remarks are that the ECB may launch a bond buying program but it has not decided to do so as of yet, and in any case it would not move to buy bonds unless individual euro zone governments asked the EFSF/ESM bailout funds for help first.
[11:51] {nemo} stop under .30 small btw lunchtime
[11:51] {nemo} ow
11:52] {Threei} . In the meantime, the ECB has asked its committees to flesh out possible bond buying strategies after providing them with "guidance." The plan will be very different from its prior SMP bond buying plans, with a concentration on the short end of the curve. Peripheral yields had contracted ahead of the decision, but after the press conference yields on the longer end of the curve staged a dramatic reversal, with both the Spanish and Italian 10-year yields moving from -10bps in the session to trade +20 bps.
[11:53] {dino} good thing knights opps wasn't today instead of yesterday

13:21] {Threei} I have a quote...
13:21] {Threei} ... it was twelve o'clock but General Rodrigo de Aguilar was not arriving, someone started to get up, please, he said, he turned him to stone with the fatal look of nobody move, nobody breathe, nobody live without my permission until twelve o'clock finished chiming, and then the curtains parted and the distinguished Major General Rodrigo de Aguilar entered on a silver tray stretched out full length on a garnish of cauliflower and laurel leaves, steeped with spices, oven brown, embellished with the uniform of five golden almonds for solemn occasions and the limitless loops for valor on the sleeve of his right arm, fourteen pounds of medals on his chest and a sprig of parsley in his mouth, ready to be served at a banquet of comrades by the official carvers to the petrified horror of the guests as without breathing we witness the exquisite ceremony of carving and serving, and when every plate held an equal portion of minister of defense stuffed with pine nuts and aromatic herbs, he gave the order to begin, eat hearty gentlemen.

14:45] {Threei} don't know why those who like it are so shy, unlike those who never got to look into what tape reading really is,
14:45] {Threei} and think it's staring at T&S window
14:46] {Threei} been years since I've written this: http://blog.realitytrader.com/2007/11/whats-in-name-or-what-is-tape-reading.html

15:16] {Threei} causes volatlity, volume, fear
15:17] {Threei} unlike usual august when nothing happens
[15:17] {Will49} a fine time I've picked to learn this business
15:17] {Threei} as much as I skeptical about gurus and their predictions, I wouldn't dismiss this possibility, will
15:18] {Threei} Armstrong is not just another guru
[15:18] {Will49} :):(
[15:18] {dino} you are right vad. i need the volitility for my edge
15:18] {Threei} and situation is very very precarious
15:18] {Threei} yes... and I need volume
15:18] {Threei} my setups work so-so in low volume l,istless environment, and the more volume we have the better they work
[15:19] {Will49} so this predicted panic will be goo?
[15:19] {Will49} good?
15:19] {Threei} oh yes
[15:19] {dptl} got to go..see ya tomorrow

[15:20] {dino} cya dp
[15:20] {Will49} made my day
[15:20] {Will49} dino's comment
15:20] {Threei} think of it this way:
15:21] {Threei} 1. a lot of volume means both sides particpate, smart money and crowd, and out setups are based on using one against the other
15:21] {Threei} 2. strong selling goes against the crowd, and our setups are based on going against the crowd
15:22] {Threei} 3. strong selling is very hostile environment for investors and very favorable for traders, adn we are on the extreme part of the specter, to traders; side
15:23] {Threei} put all three together, and you can see how we run for 2 or 3 months during fall of 2008 with no single losing day
[15:23] {Will49} yea...thanks for reminding me
[15:23] {dino} panics = profits
[15:24] {dino} my way of trading most days, stock drops fast (panics) i buy, spikes hard (euphoria) i sell
[15:25] {Will49} I think I learn more from you're (all of you) advice than doing demo trades

15:29] {Threei} read stages of trader's development in psychology part of the blog again
[15:30] {Will49} actually, things are getting clearer one itsy bit every day
15:30] {Threei} right
15:30] {Threei} but at somepoin t there will be transition from quantity to quality
15:30] {Threei} some kind of threshold
15:30] {Threei} after which you just won't believe how simple things become
15:31] {Threei} and won't understand why you made them so complicated before
[15:31] {Will49} I hope it's soon...I don't even buy green bananas at my age
15:31] {Threei} lol
