US will agree new deal by tomorrow or I will eat my shorts

Congress will not meet again until Thursday - after a break for the Jewish New Year - with another vote unlikely before the weekend, the BBC's Jonathan Beale in Washington says.

Better get eating...

Over the last couple of weeks shoved some money into Gold mining, looking good. Tech stuff also holding up well. The rest of the portfolio well down though. I think a good buying opportunity, but might wait for the "bail out".

While there is rumour and intent for bail outs by Governments the markets will hold or fall.
Once the businesses realise they will have to dig themselves out of their own mess they will start planning recovery strategies. Then it's boom time.

Coordinated with other countries ! It's probably bollards but ?

Apparently the Bailout Bill won't go before Congress again until Friday - so that means a week of uncertainty...

I like the look of tech, the P/Es are good and tech companies have a certain buffer against commodity fluctuations. Shorting ban (USA) expires Thursday FYI.

Glad I topped up on Lloyds and RBS.

Now up! Up, up and away!

Exit strategy ready.

Bear markets are typified by price fluctuations but the trend is always down.
