Thanks for that Monty - I hope this trade works out. I'm short and it's going well so far. Got 27pts

Great to see you at the New expo!

Question on today's dollar sell-off outside the risk-appetite theme. TIC data showed a 10-month low is US Treasury holding by China - it seems the worries that Chinese may stop financing US debt are finally materializing. Do you see that as potentially becoming an impediment tofurther USd rally, particularly with EU granting Greece a grace period to address its fiscal crisis?

Still watching that 1.38-3850 former support/resistance range.

@Pipster: Just about the first lesson the market taught me was how volatile gold is. 40 pts is nothing for gold.

no not yet i think there will be some more usd weekness,which will allow me to close out some cheap stock positions then grab usdcad(have a order @ 1.0385)..i kinda want crude an gold to get higher which will give us a chance to grab more eurusd gbpusd shorts...i think this rally has to do with no details on greece bailout but in the end they can stall all they want but the longer they delay the more theres a risk of a few other things coming home (dubai..portu..spain..)....im learning to follow ashraf to the tee an hes still calling 1.3200eurusd so as long as i use proper margine/acct managment im good to go..thats probaly the biggest thing ive leared from him don;t get greedy an have some patints...gl with ur trades

Pipped,

Not blowing your horn ( I think is the saying) but you seriuosly have an insight that not many do to the markets. I'm sure you've been in the game for a long time and now know when the criminals are doing their work to manipulate the market. Gbp really hurt me before and lost approx 50pts. This gold is starting to hurt as I'm loosing approx 40 pts

Any words of reassurance -pplease

I'm waiting for Gold to trade in the Tokyo session, but I do have a stop sell at 1119.25.

PPT has DOW up 176 now. They will NOT allow even a down tick in ther markets. That is the sign of panic short-covering.

OOPs, +179 now. 12 minutes remain for the final 21 points.

PPT MUST close stocks at high of the day to install more confidence of longs to put more money into equities to try and sustain the perception of a jobless economic recovery.

The PPT is the Plunge Protection Team, put together to goose the S&P spoos whenever a U.S. stock market rally is necessary to keep Mr. and Mrs. Jones in ther markets and not from bailing out. They have been defending DOW 10,000 like it is the end of the world.

Now up 160 in the DOW. Remember I predicted HOURS ago the PPT would arrive with 1-1/2 hours ago to ensure a plus 200 DOW day. 32 minutes for the final 40 p;oints. Piece of cake for the PPT.

For those of you who do not know, the PPT guarantees select houses against loss from buying the spoos. The houses coordinate their orders to flood the system simultaneously. Their preferred time to do this is always the last 1-1/2 hours of the stock market in the U.S.
