01[10:41] {Threei} US) Fed's Lacker (hawk, lone FOMC dissenting voter): QE3 will have lesser impact on job creation and a greater impact on inflation; the economy is largely beyond the influence of more Fed easing- Larger Fed balance sheet makes the policy exit riskier.

01[12:52] {Threei} (GR) Greece Govt Official: Talks with the Troika will continue each day until conclusions are reached- Reminder: earlier today Greece Fin Min Stournaras comments that so far agreed with EU/IMF/ECB Troika on �7.5B out of �13.5B of new measures
01[12:53] {Threei} I have this feeling that 10 years later, when there is no EU, when AAPL makes iPhone 89 and MSFT - Win 243, we still are going to see Greece debt discussions
[12:54] {RonS} lol
01[12:54] {Threei} troika will just enjoy permanent vacation
[12:55] {Will49} jawboning and BS ad infinitum
01[12:55] {Threei} and will pretend they don't even notice there is issue to resolve
[12:55] {Will49} sad isn't it?
01[12:55] {Threei} not for troika members
01[12:56] {Threei} I mean Greece is very nice in all seasons
[12:56] {Will49} Karma still in force, just may take a while
01[12:58] {Threei} (EU) ECB's Nowotny: Surprised by recent comments by Slovenia; not expecting Slovenia to require an aid program
01[12:59] {Threei} what did Slovenia say?
01[13:01] {Threei} Slovenia PM commented that austerity measures needed through 2014 period; Govt spending needed to boost banking sector and on 9/3 Slovenia Fin Min: Bank debt consolidation is on the agenda, ending credit crunch is key. Planning a trip to the US for US bond offering.

01[14:06] {Threei} no wonder, looking at the SPY
01[14:07] {Threei} even though we adjusted tio the climb of late, we still do better in downward market
01[14:08] {Threei} $4 drop in crude futures being attributed to fat finger trade ahead of expiry- Crude fell from $98.70 to $94.83 in a matter of five minutes, which also impacted gold futures and the USD. - Note Oct WTI futures expire on 9/20. - Other comments in the rumor mill are raising concerns about a "crude flash crash" and also reiterating the rumors of an SPR release that have been going around for the last month.
