Thank you and it was a very skimpy explanation, if you could call it that. Well, my friend, it's a bit of a mystery to me, tbh. I am personally a bit long and wrong at the moment. I guess it's either the strength of the global recovery/inflation, some good news in Europe that I am not aware...

Well, yes, but the big difference (and a very significant contributor to the creation of the bubble) is the fact that Spain is part of the EMU. Being part of the currency union also constrains the choice of available solutions that the Spaniards can implement ('cause, God forbid, you piss off...

The situation in Spain and the origins of its crisis are different, in a variety of significant ways, to the issues in other parts of the world, such as the US. You really shouldn't simplistically conflate all these things.

+1 Precisely, hence this is a sporadic, statistically insignificant effect. Having watched god knows how many expiries, I have observed it maybe once or twice (if memory serves) .

Well, good luck with all this, is all I can tell you... My point is that, before you can tackle the complexities of processing live data, you'd better have a good idea of how to organise it and store it. I suggest that you start with close data as a way of "dividing and conquering" the task.

I AM Lloyd Blankfein, your Lord and Master, and I COMMAND you to cease and desist, in the name of Emperor Ming the Merciless, the Federal Reserve and everything else that is holy!!!! Mwuahahahahahahah :).

Erm, this article makes it look as this is some sort of a new development, which it most certainly ain't. This arms race has been going on for years now.
