    • Rubenov: So not bearish, not bullish. Uncertainty brings the potential for downside.

    • Native Texan: Rambo, that's from yesterday.. another excerpt repeating the same "source" from the 2nd link I posted above: http://nyti.ms/xAXywx

    • Rubenov: Okay I see that. Still, nothing definitive yet either way. I'll assume it won't get done, since they've done nothing but suck anyway

    • Native Texan: The way I read it, if no agreement, no money to be released on Monday - period. If that's the case, my TVIX & FAZ should do very well.
      1/21/12
    • Rubenov: Yep, we'll see. I have some TVIX although very net long and have that nervous feeling. Monday I might get into buying some VIX calls pronto.

    • Rubenov: And with that, the downturn of this cycle starts. Thanks once again, Greece.

    • Native Texan: I don't know Rambo, allot of Retail has been brainwashed (@1315 $SPX) to think that everything's okay now and they should jump in. We'll see

    • jason2788: i doubt a downturn. greek default bullish.
      1/21/12
    • Rubenov: I still carry scars from the effect of Greece's almost-defaults, referendums, failed negotiations, you name it. I won't be able to relax..

    • Rubenov: in the stock market until the issues of that problematic, pay no-tax country are history.
