01[12:00] {&Threei} Analysts continue to debate the real meaning of the FOMC minutes out yesterday afternoon. The WSJ's Hilsenrath asserted that the minutes reaffirm the Fed's existing timetable, which suggests the taper could begin as early as September.
01[12:00] {&Threei} Others highlighted apparent growing uncertainty about the labor market and continuing low levels of demand. Many have pointed out that "a few" officials warned against putting too much attention on the "illustrative" 7% unemployment threshold and that "several" officials said they were "willing to contemplate lowering the unemployment rate threshold."

[12:45] {nemo} As I'm peeling the lead off the top of the bottle, I notice the cork looks pretty bad
[12:46] {nemo} So, I try to open it but the cork just crumbles into the bottle, and you can smell the vinegary smell
[12:46] {nemo} So I have to call him...never had heard him cry before

[14:28] {dino} flt spike
[14:31] {dino} flt sm s .89
01[14:35] {&Threei} (US) Fed's Fisher: Personally, the data I have seen makes me believe that Sept is the time to begin the taper; I am not alone in that belief- There is no QE infinity. - There are huge obstacles to job creation.
[14:36] {nemo} free stock charts all screwed up
[14:37] {RonS} unreal lack of movement...volatility to zero?
[14:37] {nemo} kinda' like Les' brainwave activity
[14:38] {dino} flt stop -.35
[14:38] {RonS} lol...L’Oreal barred by EU from testing on animals, while China requires it | http://bloom.bg/16OhTaL
[14:39] {+cc_9} 2011 Mubarak tells people he will step down and let army run things while he goes to "jail" (jail = club med)
[14:39] {+cc_9} Military plays the joke of democracy, people vote
[14:39] {+cc_9} MB wins elections, 1 year later coup
[14:39] {+cc_9} Mubarak released, no charges stick
[14:39] {+cc_9} all heads of MB in jail
[14:39] {+cc_9} This was all a big farce.
[14:39] {+cc_9} A damn elaborate one.
[14:42] {Alexs} may be it's not so bad to get all heads of MB in jail
[14:42] {+cc_9} Why ?
[14:43] {+cc_9} If they were voted in power, isn't it democratic to let them serve their term ?
[14:44] {Alexs} yeah it's democratic
[14:44] {Alexs} but what's in that for america
[14:46] {RonS} ya well, in Japan in the '10's and 20's the militarists and rights literrally killed all of the moderate and liberal politicians...then elected themselves...
[14:47] {RonS} if the people had risen up...like in Egypt...maybe there would not have been WWII
[14:48] {dino} flt sm s .10
[14:51] {Alexs} I think that the power of MB is the best way to WWIII
[14:53] {RonS} the real uprising was the initial against the MB...what is going on now is a minority, the MB, trying to turn a tide...
[14:55] {+cc_9} What is going on now is not a minority Ron
[14:55] {RonS} the military backed it because the direction of the MB was to get them involved in a war...and that gets them killed...
[14:55] {+cc_9} It is being portrayed as if it were only a minority rising, its not.
[14:55] {RonS} big country cc...how do you figure?
[14:55] {+cc_9} More and more people are seeing the brutality the army is using against civilians, regardless if they are bearded or clean shaven, still civilians.
[14:55] {+cc_9} They cannot trust an army that shoots live ammo at people in a tent
[14:56] {+cc_9} add to it the fact Mubarak was just released, which is an insult, I think more people will rise and unite.
[14:56] {RonS} meantime tgt 120 day low
[14:58] {dino} rnr odd
[15:00] {RonS} lol: BREAKING: Obama Planned Speech this evening: "Osama Bin Laden is Dead and Nasdaq is Alive!"
