There was a brief discussion yesterday about Europe on CNBC. The datapoint was that several countries are announcing plans to reduce government employment. In Europe, it was said, many nations have to pay up to 75% of salaries for a lengthy time. That struck most as a problem but the guy talking pointed out that the positive is that Europe is starting to tackle their huge government employment size, unlike the USA (feds/state/local). His take was that he saw a good fact. I guess there's always someone seeing a half full glass, even when it's only a drop inside.

My short term system, which I'm still evaluating, has flipped to a sell, but I wouldn't call it a robust signal. In other words I think some volatility is coming soon. I'm thinking next week. The Sentinels remain on a buy however for the longer term.

This month (October) is going to be a hard one.

Politics was positive in September, now the doubts and negative ads will play a role. Also, the 'Black Swan Event' President and his worthy Congress are floating a Lame Duck approval of tax and regulation 'enhancements'.

The positive vibes ain't vibin'.

But, I don't know where the party is
