As many of you already realize, I keep a link to the Seven Sentinels website in my signature block. If you day-trade or trade often you may be interested to know that Don has a special holiday deal for trying his service. I am not associated with his website in any way, but I do use an older version of his system here on our message board.

Anyway, I'm just throwing this out there so you're aware.

Did you see the 60 minutes interview? I notice a quivering lip on every tough question. lol

His eyes were a little shifty....
There was a guy we went to high school with who was always one of the introverted, "really smart" guys.
We always picked on him by shaking his hand...always clammy, and with a mush grip, like jelly.
He went into finance- I thought of him when watching Ben.
-Thought the interview was good though, kudos to Scott for addressing him directly.

CNBC Squawk Box had a gent on that had some questions that weren't asked that would have been hard and telling. I too sensed a slight resumption of nervousness. I saw great nervousness in his appearances on the Hill in Fall 2008 and shortly after. I saw exuding of confidence in late 2009. I think I saw a resumption of concern, nervousness, whatever in this interview, not to 2008 levels, but a return nonetheless. I attribute it to his concern that we seem to have little likelihood of getting our fiscal side in order, in time.

One trick Federal Reserve pony is getting long in the tooth. Just can't jump through that hoop anymore. And the drumroll is getting really old too.

 

[airlift]

Is this a double top on the SPX, or a runaway rally through Christmas Season? Is what we are seeing in the pre open positive Futures the preamble of a rally as a result of FED QE2 liquidity and low interest announcements, and the negotiations between The Congress and the Presidency? The USD dollar is weakening. Good luck everyone!

WikiLeaks Founder Assange Arrested in Britain
Reuters | December 07, 2010 | 05:49 AM EST
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested by British police on a European warrant issued by Sweden over allegations of sex crimes including rape, London's Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday.

Swedish prosecutors issued the arrest order for the 39-year-old Australian who is wanted in Sweden on suspicion of committing sexual crimes, which he denies.

Police said Assange, at the centre of a row over the release of secret U.S. diplomatic cables, had been arrested at about 9.30 a.m. London time on Tuesday by appointment at a London police station under a European Arrest Warrant.

"He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010," London police said in a statement.

He is due to appear before City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London later on Tuesday.

For him personally, he's going to have problems for awhile I suspect. For his website? I doubt it's over.

There's little economic data today and bonds are under a lot of selling pressure again. What the market needs is a catalyst to move it out of this trading range and we may get it as there will be a $21 bln 10-year note auction reopening at 1:00 p.m. ET today. Depending on how that auction goes the market could make a big move in either direction.

 

[coolhand]

So much for that catalyst.
