no you´re right, everything happening in half-day slots. on the side bet front, there are some headwinds in eur gbp (after the pound gained so much) and eur-chf with the chf making new highs at 1.37EUR the dollar is somehow losing altitude, i gave it a try with a sell at 88.4 the swiss franc is one big margin call, but a top for it has yet to be found. The margin increases at the brokers tell that they expect a thin and volatile market in the coming weeks with some new extreme values to be set.

Goldman and battered UBS considering sacrifying RIG? Ultimately RIG could be forced into bankruptcy with zero going to common shareholders and super senior debt going to the state? >>> NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Transocean Ltd. /quotes/comstock/13*!rig/quotes/nls/rig (RIG 44.75, -4.42, -8.99%) fell 10% to $44.42 after Goldman Sachs downgraded oil drilling firms to neutral from buy and issued bearish comments on the effects of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "We believe that the Macondo oil spill is likely to have a long lasting impact on the industry and most negatively impact the deep water drillers," Goldman Sachs said in a note to clients. "We think that the current six month moratorium on deep water drilling in the U.S. could be extended and now assume that it lasts 12 months with limited activity until 2012; deep water dayrates are likely to face pressure." <<<<
