Sentiments continue to recover today as European stocks extend rebound while US equities are set to open higher. Markets are somewhat relieved on the situation in Greece in near term as the country should be able to get the next batch of bailout fund of EUR 8b in time to avoid a default. The Troika inspectors of EU, IMF and ECB will return to Greece on Wednesday. Also, there are continuous talk that European officials will set up a Special Purpose Vehicle to leverage up the current EUR 440b EFSF fund by eight times to buy up European sovereign debts.

News from Spain is positive as the central government reports a EUR 30.9 deficit in the eight months through August. That represents 2.83 of GDP while is much lower than then 3.28% a year earlier. Spain is still on course to bring down the deficit to 4.8% GDP this year. Spain also managed to sell EUR 3.22b of three- and six-month bills today, comparing to the maximum target of EUR 3.5b.

USD/CHF’s consolidation from 0.9182 temporary top continues and intraday bias remains neutral. Deeper retreat could be seen to 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 0.8913) and below. But downside should be contained by 0.8647 support and bring another rise. Above 0.9182 will target 161.8% projection of 0.7065 to 0.8246 from 0.7710 at 0.9621. Nevertheless, break of 0.8647 support will argue that a short term top is at least formed on bearish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD and would bring deeper decline back to 0.7710/8246 support zone.

In the bigger picture, medium term down trend from 1.1730 is already completed at 1.7065. But there is no indication of long term reversal yet. Rebound from 0.7065 is treated as part of a medium term consolidation pattern. Such rebound would possibly extend to 0.9916/1.1730 resistance zone. But strong resistance should be seen there and bring reversal. On the downside, break of 0.7710 is needed to indicate completion of the rebound from 0.7065. Otherwise, we’ll stay near term bullish in the pair for the moment.

EUR: Rumor vs. Reality

Keep your eyes on Europe. There is a lot going on in the Eurozone this week and based upon the urgency in the voices of policymakers over the weekend and the different European rescue plans being floated around the market today, we can feel the hope and energy on our fingertips. The reason why the rumor-mill is working overtime is because Greece is running of time. If Greece does not receive its next tranche of aid by mid October, they will be forced to default on part of their loans.   As a result, policymakers in Europe are rushing to find ways to shore up the European rescue fund to not only accommodate a Greek default but to also prevent contagion. We rarely like to discuss rumors but the amount of detail in the plans outlined by the U.K. Teleg Read more text…

DIY Plumbing Got A Lot Easier

A recent home improvement project has my head spinning with possibilities as one of the more complicated and expensive construction trades just got a whole lot cheaper to me. This plumbing break through is permanent push connect fittings. Apparently they been available for the past couple years, but I never heard of them until I got stuck in our recent home improvement project to upgrade some bathroom fixtures.

Permanent push connect fittings are just that: fittings that allow you to make permanent changes to your plumbing lines using simple push connect fittings rather than the traditional solder joint or pressure fittings which are much more unforgiving and usually require a skilled plumber to use.

In our recent improvement project we attempted to update the faucets in our master bathroom – 2 sink faucets and a roman tub faucet.

Short Sales Can Save You Money If You’re Extremely Patient

If you’re reading this, you’ve undoubtedly heard of a short sale, which allows a distressed homeowner to unload their property for less than the current mortgage balance.

Short sales have surged in popularity over the years thanks to the precipitous drop in home prices and the overwhelming presence of zero down mortgages taken out during the boom.

This led to a huge negative equity problem, which is in part being dealt with via short sales.

And while these transactions can be a great alternative to foreclosure for the homeowner, they can also greatly benefit the homebuyer as well.

But like anything that saves you money, there are plenty of hoops to jump through, and patience is a requisite.

Per the latest Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance HousingPulse Tracking Survey, released this morning, the average short sale price was 27 percent lower than a non-distressed property.

This explains why they’ve been quite popular among first-time homebuyers, despite waning recently.

Last month, first-time homebuyers accounted for 39.7 percent of the short sale transactions completed.

While a sizable share, it’s down from the peak 54.1 percent share seen in November 2009, just before the original expiration of the homebuyer tax credit.

It also represents a third straight monthly decline, and the lowest share since the survey began.

Well, as mentioned earlier, short sales aren’t for the faint of heart.  And they arent so, ahem, short – they require patience, as the bank needs to approve the deal. And homeowner
