The dollar is down vs. the Euro as there is a bit of dead cat bounce on “positive” Greek news.  We are not buying it and instead believe that it is a bit of the invisible pushing up the Swiss franc to see how the government will respond.  Switzerland is suddenly becoming very newsworthy on many “sensitive” issues.  Considering the very secretive and ultra conservative nature of Switzerland, this will not go over well though it is fascinating to watch.

Now Junker just stated that the EU should follow the no bail out clause each participating member signed.  The fear is that nations may purposefully participate in higher risk/yield economic policy decisions which would have a bad outcome for the country.  This is something that duly should be noted as we now can expect France to make a statement quite to the contrary.

NOC Northrup pulled its bid for the US Government contract for supplying refueling airplanes as it felt BA Boeing had an unfair advantage.  This is quite reminiscent of the YF22 vs. YF23 fighter competition with Lockeed Martin.  Even though Northrup felt its plane was superior, Lockeed won the bid.  The amount of R&D that goes into such a project can be devastating to the bottom line as there is not a grout opportunity to recoup any investment.  Though the Company can take a onetime write down or carry forward loss, it causes significant damage to the bottom line.  The interesting element of this project was the fact that the project was a joint venture with a French Aerospace Company.   The plot thickens.

Thailand is bracing again for protestors to converge on Bangkok.

So the DJ Newswire actually has PacSun up and other clothing retailers reporting better than expected earnings.  That’s a surprise though we recently went by Volcom, RVCA, PacSun and the places were packed with a never ending stream of EMO dressed young hopefuls.  Reports are that HEV and ULTA reported better than expected.  We like the Green space and HEV’s rechargeable battery fits nicely.  Additionally, ULTA is in the health, beauty etc…Sector and people are definitely spending more on their appearance.  Gold and Oil are trending up a bit on the weak dollar.  This could temper the markets activity today though we will be focusing on the 10.5 VS.  10.6 support level.  Also we like the Bank of Florida IPO today.  The regional bank will be raising 45 million BOFL is the new Ticker.  It will instantly either position the Bank to make acquisitions of other banks, asset pools or debt pools.  It could also become a target itself.  There is so much beta in the sector I can’t imagine it would be priced correctly to take into consideration all the variables so we will speculate it is under priced.  It is amazing to consider the amount of money waiting to enter the sector so we expect all types of investors to snap up positions.
