Hum, maybe I am not used anymore to think about 5 lot increments because we have anyway slippage with volume > 50....
Summarizing this week : 1) Irish bailout 2) Portugal and Spain CDS widen to year´s highs 3) Jean Claude Trichet shows bond traders not to ph..ck around with him 4) Europe will not be bailed out with further IMF/US funds 5) Even the worst jobless numbers can not destroy a defunct, rigged, manipulated market by a few particpants calling themselves "believers in the free narket system". You should be ashamed to even use words like free or freedom !
1) solved until we are close to payout 2) banks need to squeeze funding channels first (as they did with failed banks) - ECB provides unlimited liquidity 3) he is spanish, it is personal for him 4) American have nothing against it, they fund IMF, polititians see inflation as save us all thing 5) jobs will improve and you get suprises from real estate or consumer confidence or manufacturing, also M&A. I think we are going to wiggle a bit but major trend is north. One potential problem is the end of year and fund managers are going to close lots of positions. Which ones we will find out.
