I'm not a big history buff, but that little period in history sounds damn interesting. Hopefully somebody has written about it in depth. I need to find it.

The real interesting part is that Europe was roughly what we are now (net importer and the place where the credit bubble really got cranked) and we were roughly where China is now (exporter of grains .vs. cheap crap, and net creditor, but with debt exposure sufficient to **** us)

The whole world went to **** but it initiated in Europe. We "thought" we'd escape it. Bad guess.

Gen, every ticker you are basically threatening of the dire consequences of the triangle and the potential 50% sell off and yet while trading it appears to me your bias is to the upside or atleast to me sounds like your gut says the ES triangle will not break.

Uhh...point of order.

"Hung" as it applies to people (particularly men) is generally considered to be a desirable characteristic, especially if you live in North Hollywood, are in the "film" industry, and have no particular acting skills.

"Hanged" is the term used for execution by suspension from a ligature device.

The past participle of "to hang" when it applies to things is "hung," but "hanged" when applied to people via execution.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionar....

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph....

However, some dictionaries (incorrectly) use "hung" to describe execution.

Relating to the Ticker...I would imagine that one of these days, Wall Street and DC will be lobbied with boiled rope. People don't change.

Well said. I've been telling people for a while that capital punishment should be used on those who financially murder others. All I've ever got back were looks like I was nuts.

If people knew they could be killed by ripping off others they would think heavily before trying it.
