OH OK, I get it. I know that the S&P is still going to try to hit 1400, but this is an intra correction. This correction may give some a chance to make some nice positions. But the wait is a pain.

Here's something for you to consider; the Dow has managed to rally sharply over the past two years and currently trades 12.5% below its 2007 non-inflation-adjusted, all-time record high.

So what's changed to cause or create such value in the stock market? We still have a weak recovery, high unemployment, ongoing foreclosures, commodity price spikes, debt crises, geopolitical issues, etc.

Looks like the market has thoroughly discounted all the good news possible going forward for 2 years. I wonder if disappointment will show up along the way?

Ever hear of a black swan event?
 
IMF May Not Pay Next Greek Loan Tranche

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110526-710792.html

Europeans have to realize that the disbursement of the IMF before June 29 can't operatively happen, the expectation of the IMF is then that the Europeans will take the place of the IMF. More pressure on Germany and France to pony up the money.

Exchanging currency for impaired assets?
 
IMF announces $20B, and G8 announces another $20B to the "Arab Spring" countries. This is to support "political party building" etc. And guess who pays the great majority of this $40B? Hint: It ain't China!

Thank goodness it's not the US.......:huh:m2:

The American public is fine with the IMF and the G8 paying it:new_all_coholic:
because they don't understand where most of the money from those organizations comes from.

The thing that makes me think Obama is Bush's love child with Oprah is that both think they can overturn governments and the new government will be peaceful democrats duly appointed in free and fair elections. That they will create a secular state with a constitution based on our constitution and that radical Islamic elements won't have a real say in the formation or election of that government.... nothing could be further from the truth. We are funding our own destruction..

BTW, keep you eye on Chavez. He is threatening an embargo of the U. S. It is more to pump up the price of oil than any real effort I suspect because Chavez is in deep trouble economically and needs every oil dollar it can get. (There are no taxes in Venezuela, its all funded by oil.)
