swordfish Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 hey, fish of the sword, ever listen to skalpel? i believe they're based in wrocław. i've been grooving to these guys for a couple years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJOMqRx40HA Yeap, one of the best band from Poland in that genre of music. Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything about new album since 2005. BTW Wrocław is one of the best place to party in Poland. Of course, it depends on what you are looking for. Main dance events (like Sensation White, which has origin in Amsterdam) are hosted their in Poland. The city is also nice. You should also check Krak?w which has one of the biggest marketplace in Europe. Unfortunately, capitol (Warszawa) is not so pretty because of the polish uprising in '44 (90% of the buildings/city was destroyed during this uprising). This uprising is one of the most unknown story to the Europe - thanks to polish very poor PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 German GDP for Q4: -2.1% q/q, -1.6% y/y UK GDP for Q4: -1.5% q/q, -1.9% y/y Currently, german main indice (DAX) is at 3960.49 (+64.74, +1.66%) USDJPY hi new high:97.320 and still refuse to go down. BTW, I'm not pretty sure if this cross is still the main carry trade oil. Couple years ago, there was a great difference between interest rate in Japan and other counties. Now, in US or Switzerland, the interest rate are also low so I don't see a point why should anyone use JPY for carry trade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStool Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 spy holding at the 8 day cycle MA at 76.96, above the 3 day at 76.77 and the 5 day at 76.55. Those are the key levels that need to hold to keep the rally going. Otherwise the rollover could be pretty fierce. TNX starting with a strong pop. That usually corresponds with a stock rally.

Rounder Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Apparently Senator Dodd is as confused about mark-to-market as he says he is about prevailing mortgage rates..... bahahahah, UFB!!!! Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd is feeling more housing related heat. Already under pressure for accepting below-market mortgage rates from Countrywide as a ?Friend of Angelo,? the Hartford Courant says the Connecticut Senator may also have paid a below market price for an Irish cottage in exchange for a pardon allegedly granted by President Clinton at Dodd?s request. The paper says the Senator continues to declare the value of the cottage at $100,001-$200,000 in Senate filings, despite a market value likely in excess of $1mm.
