Keep the farce one more week¡

EBA CONFIRMS STRESS TEST RELEASE JULY 15 FROM 1600GMT
EBA: 'BACKSTOP' STEPS SEEN ANNOUNCED AT SAME TIME RESULTS

[bobert]

Today is the 8th.  I think.

[RunningMan]

Backrunning?

[bobert]

Sleepy.

[RunningMan]

Cure: a lot of coffee and an eye popping NFP beat in 10 minutes. Followed by a gut wrenching roller coaster of market mayhem.

[bobert]

Coffee is a good suggestion.

Trade the mayhem and have fun today!

[snowball777]

"beat" Hahahahahaaa.

Murdoch Closing Tabloid Linked to British Hacking (NYT)

News Corp.’s BSkyB Bid Facing Delay on Review (BBerg)

Delay on review = Politicians realize that there will be increased risk to push it through and are giving Murdoch extra time to come up with a few million in bribes/campaign contributions to ease their worry.

Paper will restart in the week after completed takeover.

[bobert]

Are you suggesting that the global judicial system is corrupt?

Shocking!

headline for eurozone governments warned on bailouts should read, ECB think taxpayers should bear entire bailout burden themselves. See,

This week military complex spending 6 trillion, not 1 trillion like Obama just said a few weeks ago, plus new york fed stealing between 6 and 18 billion or at least it went missing.

U.S. District Senior Judge Mariana Pfaelzer in Los Angeles, who narrowed the case to $2.6 billion in bonds and dropped Countrywide parent Bank of America Corp. (BAC) as a defendant

...better hope she created a long-enough paper trail on those bribes.

So, while is might sound a little callous, save your sentimentality for your prayers. If you want to do some good, you don't need to look much farther than your own family or neighborhood to help someone who needs it. All the overt pronouncements of sentiment are pretty shallow water compared to the people who anonymously wade deep into the cold water to help another person with action instead of empty words mcitp certification | mcp dumps | mcsa certification | mcse 2008 | mcts dumps | network+certification | pmp dumps | rhce dumps
