Just re-shorted some euros. Cost myself 95 pips covering yesterday evening. Today's action was pretty ugly, and I've got a queasy meltdown-coming-on feeling in my stomach. It makes sense to remain short euros and hold onto my S&P puts for awhile longer.

Vote in New Democracy or PASOK (or some coalition of the 2) in June and Brussels will throw Athens a bone.

Ah...they said they would *consider* throwing Athens a bone :D How generous of them.
 
ZH tweet that actually makes sense
"Greek president uses bank run on Monday as leverage to form government; He fails. Now suddenly bank run is over after no govt formed."
 
Greeks have been drawing down deposits at €700M/week for 2 years. As much to do w/a contracting economy as it is about mattress stuffing.

Slept on it and decided I made the right decision on Monday night. Back out of euro short. No blood.

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The gold stock debacle is hilarious, as is the brutal unwinding of the supposed "no brainer" inflation trade. This is what happens when you load a boat with questionable assumptions and weak hands.

And true "massive carnage" in gold would be returning to a three handle (e.g. $999)...

Still nowhere near 2008's decline of 30%.

I have been buying, I actually significantly increased my gold-stock position yesterday at the close to around 10%. Would love to double that once the price action turns bullish
