WASHINGTON (Thomson Financial) - The U.S. economy is growing a bit faster

than expected and could avert recession, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke

indicated Tuesday, while citing a "critical" need to keep inflation expectations

in check.

Bernanke also said a "top priority" of the central bank would be to keep

financial markets functioning, and that the Fed was paying close attention to

the troubles of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The Fed chairman, delivering his semiannual forecast to Congress, indicated

that his outlook for better growth and cooling inflation remained subject to a

"high degree of uncertainty."

That was clever - thought it had tripped 970 limit, but it hadn't, so ended up panicking out with +5.

SHORT Sept Dax at 6160

Hi guys,

 

Interesting reading from Zeal again: http://www.zealllc.com/2008/vxospx.htm

 

The VXO can be tracked 15 mins delayed here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EVXO&d=t

 

In short we're looking for a daily VXO close above 35 (got up to 30 yesterday) and then an intraday index plunge to take it to almost 40 (intraday got up to 33 yesterday). Short until that point, then long.

 

We'll see if it holds good....

[Foale 10]

SHORT Sept Dax at 6160

 

Interesting...closed my short SEPT Dax at 30 +30...

 

It seems I am tempted to close the contract trade when I have already closed my cash shorts profitably...and looking around to book more unrealised gains from falling/rising markets... both today and yesterday market then moved more in my positions direction...should have scaled out...of course..

Have to work on this....

 

So far ..+78 Cash

+76 September trades

 

All Dax and Ftse

Good volume this am...but its keeping us in a tightish range...
