Boring and slightly above the water day. A few plays with nice potential turned into merely scalps not reaching 1:2 by just a cent or two. Volume disappears, this may easily turn into the end of the bounce.

01[13:33] {Threei} good thinking :)
01[13:34] {Threei} (US) S&P issues commentary on sequester impact on state and local Governments- The implementation of approximately $85 billion in cuts from the federal budget may have only minor negative credit consequences for state and local governments and their affiliated entities - Most municipalities have exhibited their willingness to impose cutbacks in response to a weaker revenue environment since the beginning of the recession, and we expect them to be prepared for the possibility of sequestration
01[13:35] {Threei} whole thing is such a non-issue
[13:39] {scottie} gotta leave early, see you all tomorrow
