The video above is quite amusing. I thought it was really funny and recommend watching it.
Reading through my RSS feeds, I noticed that the video was doing rounds not only on the major financial blogs but also on other types of forums/blogs. This means that the general public is getting to watch this video. It makes sense that it has 400,000 views in four days.
Yet know that the video is more about clichés and pressing emotional hot buttons than [...] Continue Reading…

We all knew it was coming, just not when. It definitely took a while, but the Euro short squeeze made its debut during the Friday European session.

The Euro-US Dollar is between a rock and hard place right now. Respecting the charts will be important.
First, I’ll start with my failure to respect the charts during the Wednesday morning trading.
The hourly chart above tells a story. The EURUSD was coming from a prolonged downtrend and started to challenge a major support level (1.3696).
It first broke the 1.3730s intraday support but was not able to close below the major support on the hourly (on the chart: see 1A). [...] Continue Reading…
