".....straight out of the IMF playbook..."

RBS

....all that taxpayer money went to a good home....and the farce continues

Gold looks to have cleared the 200 dma but is overbought..if we do see a pullback behaviour at the 200 dma will be critical - any breach to the downside would need to be short-lived if the bull-trend is to be renewed

FEYE

People tell me this is "another Tesla"

Ftse

Dax broke the 10 dma

Dow ended the day quite strong,still below the 78.6% retracement,3rd inside day

Tomorrow,Count Draghula speaks,the market awaits

hourly looks promising

looking for a close below the 10 dma to trigger a sell based off the yearly Gann square

Ftse leading the way ????

Don Coxe

(from Casey Daily Despatch)

"Heroin was the battlefield anesthetic of choice for severely wounded soldiers. The crucial medical decision was not whether to deliver the heroin: that was easy. The tough part—for doctor and patient—was deciding on and enforcing its withdrawal before the soldier became a hopeless addict.

The Fed has been lulled into the economically perilous belief that capitalism should be stimulated with sustained injections of a potent narcotic long after the patient is out of the emergency ward. Zero-cost money and an underpriced mid-to-long Treasury market most certainly will make the economy rebound, not subside into languid repose.

This mechanistic assumption ignores the guts component of capitalism: hard work and taking risk for reward. The Fed’s long-term recovery is, in effect, based on the unstated premise that risk is a four-letter word that has, like another four-letter word beginning with “f,” little place in genteel company."

S&P Gann square,yearly cycle

yearly square of time and price (thanks to 200ma for spotting this)

The low was 1485 so 1850 is the level.We got above it but closed below.Wednesday is the actual anniversary and of course the calculation is slightly different for solar degrees rather than days

Of course this fits nicely with the 144day/288 pts square I posted a couple of days ago and we have the 5 year cycle approaching. It seems to align with John Hampson's fractal work too (SolarCycles blog)

So now we need pattern to confirm price and time

Dow

AUDUS

so far this is looking quite good.I posted at the start of the year and was speculating whether we'd get a false break and reversal back above support and it is beginning to look constructive,although the weekly chart still looks bearish

Im curious whether Gann works on option prices....150 should be a support level if it does

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/      Social media/Internet infiltration and manipulation,link from Glen Greenwald

and this

http://daily99998271.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/the-new-stasi.html

"Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable.

To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums.

The German Constitutional Court has ruled against the European Central Bank’s pledge to buy potentially unlimited quantities of distressed eurozone countries’ government bonds, and has called on the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to confirm its decision. Until that happens, the “outright monetary transactions” (OMT) scheme is effectively dead, weakening the ECB’s ability to act as an effective and credible financial-market backstop at a time when European governments remain unwilling to fill the void.

How financial markets will digest the German court’s ruling remains uncertain. There may be little initial reaction to the news, as there is no immediate threat to financial stability in the eurozone. But the big question is how markets will react in the future to bad news, whether about sovereigns or banks.

" in December 1944, Bill Donovan, head of the OSS, and Allen Dulles, OSS head of intelligence operations in Europe operating out of Switzerland, strongly urged FDR to approve a plan allowing Nazi intelligence officers, scientists and industrialists to be,

"given permission for entry into the United States after the war and the placing of their earnings on deposit in an American bank and the like."

FDR swiftly turned the proposal down, saying,

"We expect that the number of Germans who are anxious to save their skins and property will rapidly increase. Among them may be some who should properly be tried for war crimes, or at least arrested for active participation in Nazi activities. Even with the necessary controls you mention, I am not prepared to authorize the giving of guarantees."

But this presidential veto was a dead letter even as it was being formulated. Operation Overcast was certainly under way by July 1945, approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to bring into the US 350 German scientists, including Werner Von Braun and his V2 rocket team, chemical weapons designers, and artillery and submarine engineers. There had been some theoretical ban on Nazis being imported, but this was as empty as FDR’s edict. The Overcast shipment included such notorious Nazis and SS officers as Von Braun, Dr. Herbert Axster, Dr. Arthur Rudolph and Georg Richkey. "

Since China represents about 10% of global GDP, any problems in China will not stop there but will ripple around the world in dangerous ways. This could hit the U.S. in 2015, just as the U.S. debt and deficit problems begin to negatively impact our own economy. A continuation of the depression that began in 2007 is likely and a new more dangerous stage of the depression is possible.

I didnt spot this Gann square at the recent high. There is also a square of the low at the 1740 low,being 156 days from 1560.Next up to  watch is 180 days,which clusters with the 5 year anniversary of the 2009 low. 1740 was caught by the 3/8 line (not drawn)

due for a bounce soon ? Perhaps back toward the 200 dma

Coffee. Resistance at 180 (38% ret and natural Gann number) but note double the low clusters with the 50% so it might want to tag that 202-4 level at some stage. Also 66% of the high is 205
