I don't have a real-time news feed and even if I did I wouldn't watch it because I already have enough to watch. I do want to know what the reason for these sudden moves though - to understand it better, I guess.

Arab, could you enlighten us if there was news about Greece again?

Nevermind, I just googled and google now has this really cool live updates where it shows you as soon as something is posted about the terms you searched for. So Germany and France agreed to bail out Greece.

I find it ironic that even though Germany and France are economically the strongest countries in the EU, they have huge debt problems themselves. I calculated a few years ago how long it would take Germany to default on their debt or decide not to pay the pensions. It's in about 25 more years at which point 70% of Germany's total tax income would have to be paid out as pensions and 25% would have to be paid for interest on it's debt. You can't run a country an 5% of it's total tax income, can you?

I'm usually done for the day before noon (like today) as I tend to reach my daily target in less than an hour. But thanks for the heads-up. I want this crap to stop, it has nothing to do with real trading, just stupid news...

it's causing havoc. ten a penny european politicicians carving people up. just shut up until you have a solution. it's helping nobody (aside from those long gamma of course)

honestly i've never seen such a sh1t show of a rabble trying to sort something out. 2 weeks this sh1t has been going on for.
