plus the ECB liquidity / funding announced for the spanish banks early in the month make the tests worthless !?

thanks ... very true Oil / US consumer

morning SD, more twist no QE for now, he seems very hot and cold re QE.. seems to me most funds have de risked or protected for the downside, hence the afternoon rallies

With Global PMIs continuing to weaken are we likely to have concerted Central bank intervention soon ?

the markets job is to hunt out and give maximum pain to all bulls and bears !!

i think the ECB will contain Spain / Italy ... so buy the panic dip ! bullish

thanks SD... long Europe short US .. if we survive the weekend :)

yes exactly.. bear closers rather than fresh buyers

i think the markets are hoping G8 will push the central banks to make a coordinated effort.. plus looks like the greek far left are being edged out.... facebook indic +20% is crazy !!

so are the bears more nervous than the bulls today ahead of G8 at the weekend ??

The moves are scary

afternoon, decided to close my eyes and go out to lunch.. bottle of red later, i have got lucky, first time in weeks !

ha .. yes, they play with a few more $ than me :)

i find it can be lower risk but also long dated, pairs can take weeks to work, and correlations are currently up in the air. I use indices to hedge especially when i want to long of high beta names

ok thanks
