From what I understand, this 1st round of defaults is just to the EU and Germany was a expecting them to not pay. So they don't .... no biggie to the EU they just change the due date. The real problem comes in a month or two if they cannot pay the pensions. EU gets by with changing the due date, individuals cannot get by with just changing the date

I wanted to go with Popeye's Louisiana chicken this week, but think the influenza outbreak killing millions of chickens, will make the discussion of future earnings negate any good earnings in this quarter.
So, will go with a previous horse I have had good luck with,
ULTA
I have ridden this thoroughbred a couple of times with some good luck.
The chart does not look that strong right now, but will still go with it.
Ulta Salon Cosmetics and Fragrances Inc.
Ulta, long

Mod,... it's sort of like the old saying..."one robin doesn't make a spring" ... or something like that. I just looked at AKAO on a barchart that I sometimes use ... I have 4 moving avg.lines (3day,5day,10day & 20 day) on it. It's obvious why you went long on it. I'll cross my fingers for you .... would that help ? Arch. |

Arch.... whatever helps, beggars can't be choosers..... a sudden turn later in the week would be fine.
The market today is also being very mean.... we'll see how it ends.

architecto25 is off to a good start on a short week. kadee66 also has a gain and uncle23 is third. It was a tough day for the major indexes but five of seven are beating the benchmark.
