This market is going to retest lows then it should come from around here. The markets seem broken right now, rates nearing 3%, dollar tanking, premiums on gold & oil, recovering off thin volume, inflation up. We had a blow off top in Jan, does it go back & test the highs?

Hope so, lots of potential for good news flow to ultimately, making money.

Up since 4.45, haven't had time to lost till now. CPT - sweet

Is interesting. It's why people who don't understand violence are usually the ones who call for it https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-13/brutal-truth-about-violence-when-shtf

Taking a beating, where's the floor?

Lmao, I wear gloves when handling snakes

Here's a thing. Was up Huntingdon way Monday and puled over in a lay by for a Jimmy. Got back in and this damn Google notification thing which installed at last update (anyone know how to switch it off?) Sent me a Sainsbury notification for in store offers from the one nearby. Anything to do with Prox do u know?

Yesterday was thinnest volume for 7 days.

Bet is up 40% , wish I'd bought more. 80% up from recent bottom.

Getting smashed v Yen. Was watching it rise with indices Friday but not much. 10 year bond down a bit but all expectations is 3% b4 too long. Will try selling indices b4 too long. Traded Dow well yesterday but watching it like a hawk.

A bit thin on the ground, nothing exciting me here. Dow futures up.

Quarter past 5 :-(

Cuppas all round this morning :-)

The real problem facing Italy it is debt & reliance on ECB purchases of Gov bonds. Their economy is still 25% of 2008 highs, debt to GDP at last count(though possibly come off a bit) of 132%. Youth unemployment of 30-35%. The ECB Hawks are desperate to stop the QE which means catastrophe for Italy & that means the Euro as well. PS, we saw 3 smaller banks go under last year with only depositors & Senior bond holders protected. The new fiscal proposals of the EU seek to withdraw the �100k deposit protection scheme & restrict access to cash so as to protect the banks. They're also making it pretty clear there will be no bailouts this time around. The Troika will move in and do a Greece to Italy

Massively short Italy (no brainer), now added Some of Europes largest banks & energy to his list of European stocks to shorts. Banks & energy intertwined with debt. They day this shiteshow of the EU implodes I will break out the champagne. List here https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-09/ray-dalio-bridgewater-quadruples-shorts-on-european-union-stocks

Was looking at that one today. Saw talk of placing and read BMD's piece on it. Lots of small blue trades surrounding what looks like a large sell(blue). Not touching it.
