Well at least she didn't say, "Come home with your shield, or upon it."

Well, it's a boring enough start.  Bonds up.  Stocks up.  MFG data bad.  Looks like an equity market addicted to the prospect of liquidity above all else.

Hell, everyone is getting ready for he Greek vote this weekend, even the Greeks. You think they had riots before, get ready when they find out that their currency is about as good as newspaper. I hope that it does not come to that but they don't even have a real government now.

I doubt anything historic today, although I did make bets that would be lucrative if there was a historic downturn today.  But I fully expect to lose on my bets.  I see something mid-end july beginning of august being much more likely if things start to actually get weird world wide.  Then again I don't believe much in charting to predict the future.  Right now its wait and see approach, and I don't think major market action occurs until the events are determined, not before the fact.

Pretty lame.  The UK did a good job of reducing volatility by making that announcement yesterday.

You gotta love a day like today.

Bonds rally on the safety trade.

The yen rallies on the safety trade.

Stocks rally hoping for Fed intervention.

Euro rallies against the dollar.  Why?
