Guess what - Greece will have elections in April. Let's see what happens to the promises of austerity, once the current government is kicked out. Bailouts never work in the long term, they only cost more in the end. I'm sure there are still plenty ...

Greek Official: Appears Deal To Cut Rate On First Bailout Agreed

Undesirable for who - banks? What do Greek people stand to gain from the "austerity measures" (aka the rape of general population by foreign financial institutions)?

German Deputy FM Kampeter: Greece must deliver or face undesirable course

Another rumor capitalized on by HFT algos. Nothing concrete, just some jawboning from a lying snake govt official. Why would they bother to buy EU bonds, if that's what ECB is for? Dream on.

PBOC Zhou: China to play a bigger role is solving problems in Europe

Nice slip - EZ gov debt.

PBOC Zhou: China to play a bigger role is solving problems in Europe

Davos Choked by Audis Stuck in Heavy Snow

True that! Why bother with such an elaborate statement, when all that is needed is this: "The job creators (picture Bernanke winking here) depend on ultra-cheap money supply we've been providing. Did you really think we would stop any time soon? ...

Fed: Benchmark Rate Will Stay Low Until Late 2014

Well, this will push NASD up tomorrow some. As for the Euro, this is anyone's guess. But if you plan on loading up on AAPL at the open, keep in mind that as recently as last July NFLX was trading @ $300... risk on, indeed.

Apple destroys earnings estimates: Risk on!

Trout, my question was not in reference to any particular trading strategy, and by the way - you were not talking about trading either. I simply addressed your statement of real money being made by "investors" buying and holding assets at highly ...

Money is pouring back into European bonds

And how many of these "wealthy" investors actually got completely wiped out during these events? Are LTCM, Lehman, or Bear still around? Ask yourself - what would be your trade today without Fed's handouts? Yeah, I guess Soros and Faber haven't done ...

Greece fails to reach agreement with creditors

How many headlines like this have we seen in the last year? "Greece close to a debt deal", "Markets surge on Greek debt hopes", "Deal is possible by <insert arbitrary deadline>"... blah blah blah. And every time this happens, Greece comes back a few ...

Greece to reach deal with private creditors by the end of the week

Yeah, I feel your pain, Jamie. Enough is enough - how much bullying can the poor guy take?
