well markets pop on that b/c they want to extend this rally as much as possible, but governments will be cutting back due to budget shortfalls for the second half of the year.
Maybe - but Congress just appropriated 26 billion for states that were facing cuts. And as elections approach in the US and elsewhere, it will be difficult to <i>actually</i> cut any spending (as opposed to being in the opposition talking about balancing the budget without specifying what exactly you're going to cut) Edit: I see more quantitative easing, not less
I am waiting for a break of the low of the day in OR, missed my entry point at my resistance point as I said before, we might get resistance in 82.37-82.44, but miss my entry point to the Short side, only problem market is really slow right now.
CL is like watching grass grow today, relatively speaking I been a good girl, taking my 20 ticks here and there instead of watching all my winners reverse to break even.
I guess most of you who trade with IB have already noticed, but they've lowered their commissions (by 20 cents per side for low-volume traders). So CL is nos 4.62 per RT instead of 5.02 Wooohooo!!!
