Investors are super-touchy arent they? The SP gives the U.S. the mildest possible rebuke (still AAA rating) and the selling starts. Gold spikes.
The end is near!! :notrust:

Our TSP system is too slow and clunky (on purpose) and thus those in on hopes of gains gets the whipsaw after a Friday that was encouraging.

Well its possible the dip buyers are gonna take us back up this afternoon to a relatively flat day. :rolleyes:

China seems to be manipulating the market (sound familiar) by making another anti-inflation move. Going to be an interesting day. Have your sticky pants ready and pull the safety bar down one more notch. Good Luck.

Ok. Where do I get currency information "in general"? I'd like a "go to" link where I can check daily. I hear about the direction of the dollar from others on this MB but I don't know where to look to see which direction it's going.

By Aliya Sternstein asternstein@govexec.com April 18, 2011

Pentagon investigation casts doubt on Rolling Stone's McChrystal article
By Megan Scully National Journal April 18, 2011

"Defense Department investigators say they couldn't find military officials close to Gen. Stanley McChrystal to verify inflammatory quotes and anecdotes in a June 2010 Rolling Stone article, casting doubt on the published comments that cost the Army general his job as the commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan and ended his 34-year military career.
In a report released on Monday, the Department of Defense Inspector General said the office could not confirm the most controversial comments in the story. Other comments, according to the report, were merely taken out of context..."

Military TSP enrollment grows
By Kellie Lunney klunney@govexec.com April 18, 2011


"Nearly 50 percent of active-duty service members are participating in the Thrift Savings Plan, officials said on Monday during a monthly meeting of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board. The number of military personnel paying into the TSP rose from 49.5 percent in February to 49.9 percent in March. The increase in the participation rate is notable, officials said, considering service members are not eligible for automatic enrollment into TSP and do not receive matching contributions from their agencies..."

Economists like neither debt reduction plan



Annalyn Censky, staff reporter, On Tuesday April 19, 2011, 5:43 am

"This month, leaders from both parties introduced two major plans to cut the nation's long-term debt. But economists don't like either one. In an exclusive CNNMoney survey, eight out of 18 economists polled said they believed neither President Obama's nor Republican Paul Ryan's plans for deficit reduction are in the best interest of the nation's economy.
Another six economists sided with the Republican plan, while four supported President Obama's proposal.
"Partisan rhetoric has been extremely unproductive, and is pushing us closer to a crisis," Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, said in an e-mail..."

S&P's warning on deficits could strengthen 'gang of six'
By Clifford Marks National Journal April 19, 2011

"The markets ultimately shrugged off Standard and Poor's downgrade on Monday of America's debt outlook, but the report's pointed criticism of legislative gridlock may give a boost to budget compromise efforts led by a bipartisan group of senators known as the "Gang of Six."
The ratings agency cited bipartisan bickering as the main reason for deciding to lower its outlook on the United States' creditworthiness from "stable" to "negative." The downgrade means, S&P added, that it thinks there is at least a one-in-three chance it could lower America's Triple-A rating in the next two years. The main reason: concern that political intransigence on both sides of the aisle will derail agreement on long-term deficit reduction..."

Geithner: Two plans hold basis for deficit agreement
By Humberto Sanchez National Journal April 19, 2011


"Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Tuesday that even though congressional Republicans and Democrats have different ideas on how to bring down the deficit, there is basis for an agreement in the two recently released reduction plans. "I think if you listen carefully, people are all saying the necessary thing, which is the right thing for the economy now is to put in place reforms that put these deficits on a downward path," Geithner said on CNBC's Squawk Box..."
