US mounts operation to avoid rating agencies' cut: "analysts at Standard & Poor's in London, to use a phone line directly from the U.S. embassy. Thus, they could talk with greater security. In another instance, four of the same analysts were invited to a consultation meeting with the closest collaborators of President Barack Obama. At the meeting, the Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, would have made a fervent appeal against actions that could increase doubts about the country's debt, the Washington Post reported.

Funny thing is , this thread with a decidely FA approach has been more deadly accurate in divulging & anticipating relevant 'headline' news often a week before you get the news on Yahoo main biz page & the market reacting . The latest Italy worries were being disussed & brought up here a week (and weeks) before it hit the market just this past week ...and this is where good analytics are real primers for whats to come. Know there's many a schooled TA /Ewaver out there that religiously subscribes to the S&P 1460 projection & beyond .... yet for all that TA they failed to anticipate 3 major pullbacks on the Spy that were a obvious to me without drawing a line on a chart . But these fellows never dream of shorting anything which is a mode of trading i cannot comprehend . Simply when some things get too oversold just try to be there & inversly also if they get to oerbought their to sell a few shares whether i own em , or have to borrow a few . (lol)Thru this last 6mos of 6% wiggle up & down is all my mortal spectrum has to worry about, just wished there were more threads on SI that spent more time in full spectrum FA ....& TA both. It could very well turn out we dig our way out of this & things rise up & break out ...just a little too early to say and many a boogeyman still in the closet...and its earnings season so you take what comes . If MSFT were so lucky to retake $29/$30 for instance and missed that entire rise, will bet you a bunch that i get a very large short working at some overbought point & collect a very good payday . Conversely there are those squeeze/momo's like for the tobaccos , sodas & coffees recently that are just like "free" money . Or the PM's , and here will be more ups & downs to come . * shorted NFLX just the otherday caught it over $300 ...funny just as it seemed unstoppable pulled back 24pts in the 2 days following ...
