Holy Europe!



I had my doubts but it's like the definition of insanity... doing the same thing over and over again and expected a different result. Greece is saved yet again?

kicking the can down the road. there will be another greek 'crisis' in 6 months, buy the dip when it happens

I dimly recall a time when stocks/companies were judged on their merits and qualities and not their 'image' or what the Fed may or may not do, etc. etc. Was I dreaming then or am I dreaming now?

It has been soaring over the last year and perhaps a 13% decline isn't a deal breaker, but it was the worst week in years for them. This is something to keep an eye on.

China's Shanghai Composite is down another 2.44% tonight. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei doesn't blink - up 1.6%.

DAX and CAC were up almost 4% on Monday. Up another 1+% today.

Yeah, saw that. The dollar's up 1.24% right now so it will be interesting to see what the I-fund does today.

It ended up rallying in the 2nd trading session: It closed UP 2.19%. How'd you like to day trade that index?

If it moves; I can trade it.

Have you ever traded DAX futures? Wow, that's a widow maker. The intraday swings are crazy. I've seen a lot of casualties. I won't touch it.

LOL No, but because of your post, it's on my bucket list.

I've only traded stocks (etf's etc.) and options. No futures or forex yet.
