[15:36] :) [15:36] but there's quite convincing cci and rsi divergence right now [15:36] Normally I'm heavy on the Shorts in market conditions like today... [15:37] Kepted it on the light side and wanted an easy trading day in case I made some mistakes... [15:38] im shur lots of people got wacked [15:39] I think yesterday's late afternoon rally sucker in some "weak longs"... [15:39] They easily dumped it today to help fuel the downtrend. [15:39] oh yea [15:39] what about bonds this week? what a routing [15:47] cu all monday [15:51] Wanna...the way the U.S. Bonds, T-Notes and Eurex Fixed Income Derivatives sold off... [15:51] It was like people were running for the door. [15:51] However, income level is directly effected by the U.S. Dollar... [15:52] It's been declining :( [15:52] Gotta make some very large purchases and don't want to until the UsdCdn is back up to at least 1.25 [15:52] Currently around 1.20 [16:00] dumper [16:03] niha, i heard bonds got hit with huge margin callsw [16:10] Not sure why they dump...maybe a bunch of little reasons...not sure. [16:11] I do remember the morning after the German Notes topped...some important comments came out of China of all places to stir things up a bit. [16:11] Been free falling ever since. [16:12] overdue correction IMO [16:12] Although the BUND and others have rebounded a little the past few trading days. [16:13] i actually made a TON of money on the bounce yesterday [16:13] :) [16:13] unfortunately, didnt go short again today [16:13] I really want the T-Notes to do well... [16:14] those are the breaks i guess [16:14] :) [16:14] When they do well...my dollar has more value here in Canada. [16:14] yes [16:14] you ever miss seattle? [16:15] If this keeps up...declining dollar...I start doing all my banking in Canadian currency. [16:15] A little...still have a lot of friends out there. [16:15] Hopefully I can do some skiing at Whistler next year... [16:15] i bet when you are under 4ft of snow, you really miss it [16:15] :) [16:15] A friend from Seattle just bought a big house at Whistler ski resort.
