Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[Dinos]

Hey wait a minute Piphoe mysteriously stops posting and Dino's pops up out of nowhere!!!!

Dino's you ARE piphoe and I claim my £5.

Well, who knows

Dow had multiple attempts at breaking 20,600 yesterday but failed. Is that a positive sign? I dont think so because previously it would only have 2 attempts then spring back like a scalded cat.

More weakness to come in the near future even if Trump gets his bill passed.

After many years trading the markets, I've finally found the holy grail:

 

[postman]

Dax is desperate to go up today very strong yesterday PM as well, lets see if the yanks will rain on their parade.

 

[postman]

The only way the dax is going down is if the Dow falls.

 

[postman]

FTSE 3 days in a 40 point range, aint nobody got time for that.

 

[postman]

Going to short the dax soon.

 

[postman]

[postman]

Still holding.

Short Dax

[romans2]

Second half at 12074 short - fingers crossed

 

[postman]

Dax 12 hours of doing f@ck all, then 3 hours of madness.
This is what the phrase "Waiting for wall street" was invented for.

I'm not well informed on the vagaries of US politics, but it seems to me that the president can delay a bill on the basis he doesnt have enough votes to win and then when he's bought off enough people he decides its the right time to hold the vote knowing he will win it?

Does that sound right to anyone?

yes and no
In the end the timing of the votes is decided on who controls the house. Hence why we have had so many delays

 

[joseph1986]

The question now is
will the votes be tallied before 4pm or after.
It's looking like they may drag it past 4pm U.S. close

The House was tentatively set to vote by 4:45 p.m. ET (2045 GMT) on Friday on the bill to replace Democratic former President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy achievement, the 2010 Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare.
