Good lord these tests were pointless.

Now watch, ECB will buy up a few billion more euros, this thing will spike up again, news media will try to explain it by saying stress test results are better than expected and everybody will forget this shit ever happened.

EURUSD

This is all intervention. Same thing has been happening over and over for the last month. They buy on positive news so people think news was the cause for spike and not intervention. Look at volume on bad news releases. High volume but only ...

Just in case anybody is interested here is a release from the US stress tests on May 7 2009. url The red vertical line on the chart marks the release of the US stress tests. Make of it what you want.

Doesn't matter if news is good or bad. All that matters is how larger traders or smart money want to use the news. The same news release that sends the markets up one day could send them down another day. This is why you don't trade the news unless ...

Ha ha, if ever there was a job that required a little bit of hallucinogenic support, twas trader.

Europe news hasn't been good either. Somebody is just matching selling pressure during bad euro news with buying, thus the reason it won't go down. The run down from December 09 up until recent was justified. Euro was rallying against the dollar ...

Yeah, its gonna be rough regardless. IBM down over 4% after hours and they make up like 6% of the DOW alone. That will drag down other techs. Just saying to ease the pain a little.

EURUSD

Yeah, this whole thing is BS. Also, looking at the euro over the last month. This isn't somebody accumulating in anticipation of a further up move. This is blatant manipulation. Like I've said before, if your trying to accumulate you buy dips or ...

My thought exactly. Before the US stress tests were released everybody pretty much knew the results. They were very clear on how they were being conducted to such an extent that people could pretty much figure the results out themselves. On top of ...

I don't think people are going to buy the stress test crap. There is a huge difference in the way the US and the way Europe is conducting the test. Apparently they have a much different understanding of the word "stress" than US does.

I believe that's next Friday.

A lot of ex SEC members now work for large banks like Goldman. They put on a show for the public so everybody thinks they are doing what they are supposed to, but when all is said and done it comes down to greed. Goldman can guarantee SEC members ...

EURUSD

You could be correct. I just try to look at this logically from the sm point of view. If your trying to accumulate you don't want the price to go up. You want to create some selling pressure and buy up that pressure. It looks to me like somebody is ...

Go back to June 4th. Bears said the same thing.

EURUSD

The people that have the kind of money it takes to move markets like this would have bought 800 pips ago, not now. Feels to me like somebody is planning something dirty, I'd be very careful whatever you do.

EURUSD

You change your mind more than Goldman Sachs.

That squeeze happened over the course of a few days and was much closer to the bottom. You may be correct but it looks to me like a lot more energy was loaded up in the markets during that time. Also, fundamentals just don't add up to me. SM wants ...

Kind of sad how this thread has deteriorated.
