Doesn't matter, as long as the can is kicked further down the street, the market loves it, who cares about fundamentals when you live in "Hopeland."

We'll see what happens after Wed, still really low volume across all classes, the last 2 weeks has been a short covering rally of epic proportions. No matter how they spin it, the numbers show either flat to lackluster growth or contraction, and ...

Right, cannot wait for the risk on/risk off eur/usd trade to completely decouple, and as the Euro lowers interest rates it will, however, this entire rally across all asset classes has been on low volume, no buying conviction, just short covering, ...

The only reason I think we might go higher is the 61.8 fibo retracement, it always seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, and we're close to it now, at 1.40 I'll be adding to my shorts if I see some PA there. But, based on everything I've read, I ...

Yep, this whole rally has had no volume, so its really been a massive short covering rally, with no new buyers coming in to take long positions, once the shorts are done covering, I really believe we'll move back down, unless all of a sudden all ...

Considering we got a major short covering rally today on really light volume for a breakout trade, its obvious most don't want to be short over the weekend, but I say, based on the euros track record, do you really want to be long?

I'm long on the aussie v. the usd the same time I'm short the euro v. usd, so I haven't loss anything, then when I think the market is ready to resume its bearish trend down, I will get out of my aussie long trade and just keep my euro shorts. On ...

I don't believe that it can't break 1.39, I'm just surprised that it hasn't yet. I'm sure it will early next week, unless we get some negative eu summit rumors over the weekend. I don't normally trade this way, however, I got caught up in to much ...

Yeah, I have a short position for a move to 1.31. My sl is 1.42. Initiated my positions at 1.37, 1.3750, 1.38 and 1.3880. My belief is that the Summit will not yield the result the market is hoping for and that the market will sell off next week and ...

I'm holding my shorts, have always had my stop loss above 1.41, and I think the euro bailout news is priced in or just about, and we'll sell off after next week. I think it will be a disappointment, plus, its not positive for the EZ, trillions of ...

Historically, every time over the last 100 years, when the DOW went down 5 consecutive months, it rallied for the next 2 months, as we're having now, and after that 2 month rally, it fell at least 35%. Will history repeat itself again?
