martis's - royal spanking friday

MORNING TRENDSETTERS

Or evening for you Easty night owls.

We have a holiday for CHOGM here in Poith. So out on a date with Honey Dew and then back for a Menage e twa't with Snake Lady too (in my dreams).

Hence the early thread cranker.

Well, well, well. What a wierd turn of events Thursday was. Pisces described it as surreal. Markets up, helium being pumped into the stocks.

'Voltaire's Rule #1 in trading:-

Don't read the news or you will be bearish when news is bearish and bullish when news is bullish.

We are lining up for YOUR royal spanking, Martis, bend over. Ha ha.

I have to say, you have gained true respect for you 'sticking to your guns'.

Wise words from Exfiles

Who is remaining objective ...

The europeans have to accomplish 3 things:

1 voluntary haircut which doesnt trigger cds's - They MAY have done this.

2 recapitalise the banks - still waiting

3 Stabilise the sovereign debt market - still waiting.

If they accomplish 2 and 3 then yeah, 4600 xjo methinks. EXFILES

Good luck today Trousers and snakes:)
