S&P Says Greek Default Imminent

Time for the dominos to fall where they may: head of sovereign ratings at S&P Kraemer spoke on Bloomberg TV, and said the following:
  • KRAEMER: GREECE, CREDITORS `RUNNING OUT OF TIME' IN DEBT TALKS -BBG
  • KRAEMER: EURO LEADERS HAVEN'T TACKLED CORE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS -BBG
  • KRAEMER SAYS EUROPE MUST DEAL WITH IMBALANCES, COMPETITIVENESS -BBG
And the punchline:
  • KRAEMER SAYS HE BELIEVES GREECE WILL DEFAULT SHORTLY - RTRS
The only thing he did not add is that the default will be Coercive. What happens next is anyone's guess, but whatever it is it is certainly priced in. Also, let's not forget that the inability of the market to react to any news ever again is most certainly priced in.

Peak Silver Revisited

The world is about to peak in global silver production.

Bought Linamar (LNR.TO)

Price today closed at $66.65. I waited a day or two after the stock went down 13.88% on Wednesday to see if it will still go down. Charts using MACD, RSI and Stocastics show oversold. I'm not an expert in looking at charts so I'm just guessing here. The stock opened at $66.43 on Nov 10, 2017 and went as high as $67.14. I was thinking whether I should buy it or not. Near closing, it hovered around $66.70 to $66.75. I put a limit order of $66.72 when it was at $66.75 but didn't get filled for about 3 minutes, then it got filled and closed the day at $66.65. Did not really follow the 3 technical indicators as outlined in Rule 1 Investing which was probably a mistake.
