Nice surprise after early morning meet , I was expecting serious loss today but was thinking to let it run negative until it’s happy, luckily for me it was over rather quickly. I will stay long until US closes tonight and short thereafter as originally planned, hope everyone is doing well on markets today.

No, change in plans, closed long at +312 points, looking for short entry point.

Closed at -340 points, will be looking again after close for possible long, will see, taking day off.

 Gold closed at 1,476, who could have guessed.

Also couldn't get a list, best I can see is when you're logged into PSG account, under company calendar but without div value, only dates so you have to check each company individually, tedious job.  On IG markets account, no need to log in but they only release a week ahead, i.e. also tedious . Phoned them, couldn't give me a sensible answer as to why they don't publish a year in advance.

Reason:

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades said on Friday that he will ask the European Union for extra assistance to get his struggling nation back on track, as the bailout costs appear to be higher than expected, according to AFP

It reminds me of futuristic sci-fi movies where you need ‘credits’ for services or products, swiping a device or implant. Who knows, maybe paying by Smartphone with virtual money is our future but yes, it will be ridiculed at first.

 

days like these bore me to tears looks like we'll end flat.
