01[11:21] {@Threei} WASHINGTON - Facing tight budgets and a shrinking military, the Pentagon said on Jan. 8 it was ending operations at an air base in Britain and handing it and 14 other sites in Europe back to their home governments in a move projected to save $500 million annually.
01[11:24] {@Threei} valid again
[11:25] {dino} just what putin wants
01[11:25] {@Threei} remind me again, how many billions fed was pouring in every month during QE3?
01[11:26] {@Threei} but now haklf billion a year is so important that we withdraw from Europe, right when it's under war threat first time since WW2?

01[12:13] {@Threei} will try for 1:4
01[12:13] {@Threei} 1:3
[12:13] {dptl} all out ty
01[12:14] {@Threei} yw
01[12:21] {@Threei} The lower weekly jobless claims numbers plus hopes for another ~250K print in the December non-farm payrolls report tomorrow are helping sustain today's rally. In Europe, signs of deflation in the November PPI data and poor German factory orders may have assisted the run higher, placing even more pressure on the ECB to launch QE right away. With risk on, the 10-year yield is back above 2.0% as yield curve steepens
01[12:21] {@Threei} WTI crude is just shy of $49, just below the level seen over the last 24 hours. Analysts continue to predict a recovery in prices in 2015. BoA said WTI would close out the year at $82 and Brent at $87, although the firm was saying just yesterday that Brent could test $40 in near term and WTI could test $35.

01[12:56] {@Threei} are you ao eager to take the trade after trade after trade when market is frozen?
01[12:56] {@Threei} why are you in this hyperactive trade search mode at this time of the day?
01[12:57] {@Threei} YHOO was impossible to resist C&H, clean as a whistle, one of the best chart patterns out there
01[12:58] {@Threei} all these you list are mediocre setups at best, having beetter than average chance to work only in a very strong trend
