[11:23] {cosmo} I once heard that one of those burgers placed properly inside your catcher’s mitt will take the sting out of any fastball.

01[11:25] {@Threei} but imagine the stings from all the wasps it attracts

01[11:26] {@Threei} 1:3
01[11:27] {@Threei} ok, alternative scenario: wasps are attracted by the scent, but when they actually try it they are disappointedm angry and take it out on you

[12:06] {dino} by $10
[12:08] {dino} taking 90 minute break, have to move $$ around for foreclosure bid/proof of funds
01[12:18] {@Threei} Decent German economic data and Greece making its much-anticipated IMF debt payment earlier today helped European indices gain more than 1.0% a piece in today's session, while Japan and Hong Kong indices closed at multi-year highs.
01[12:19] {@Threei} Crude prices saw a brief move higher during the European session as Iran Supreme Leader Khamenei responded to the terms of the nuclear deal with the P5+1 powers for the first time. Khamenei neither endorsed nor condemned the deal as structured, however he reiterated his stance that sanctions must be lifted all at once on the same day the deal is signed, clashing with western demands that sanctions are only withdrawn after compliance verification.
01[12:19] {@Threei} Iran President Rouhani endorsed Khamenei's position. WTI is back around $50.70 and Brent is around $56.80 as of writing.
