01[11:03] {@Threei}  - Today is day two of Fed Chair Yellen's testimony before Congress, this time at the House of Representatives. Little new is coming out of the hearings. Yellen has reiterated that requiring the Fed to use a set, formal policy framework of rules would be a grave mistake.
01[11:04] {@Threei}  because, you know, it's bad to have predictable policy
01[11:04] {@Threei}  keep'rm guessing is the way to go
[11:11] {nemo} iwm looks short below .35

01[11:46] {@Threei}  no complaints
[11:49] {dino} gj
01[11:49] {@Threei}  ty
01[11:56] {@Threei}  According to it EU leaders could go beyond so-called "phase two" sanctions, which involve targeting individuals for travel bans and asset freezes. But it won't be all the way to "phase three", which constitutes sanctions on entire sectors of the Russian economy.
01[11:56] {@Threei}  not holding breath anymore
[11:57] {RonS} lol
01[11:58] {@Threei}  meanwhile, Russia wages unannounced war, sending columns of tanks and other heavy military equipment to rebels
01[12:04] {@Threei}  Russia set to reopen Soviet-era spy post on Cuba
01[12:04] {@Threei}  Russia has quietly reached a provisional agreement with Cuba on reopening a big Soviet-era base on the Caribbean island from which it spied in the United States, a Russian security source said on July 16.

01[12:05] {@Threei}  gives whole new meaning to the word "reset"
01[12:06] {@Threei}  remember the clip with Hillary horse-like roaring laughter while hitting red "reset" button with Lavrov?
01[12:06] {@Threei}  I hope they play it when election comes
