German PMI, Futures & Shut Up And Eat

Futures are down hard on the German PMI miss and the fear that the entire Euro Zone is not just slowing, but continuing to slow.

However, unless futures get below 2025.25, higher prices before lower prices are still likely. The equivalent spot on the cash S&P is 2034.46.

This is a tight stop based on a developing Fib extension that targets 2036.43.

Yes, price could get below the 34.46 level, but as long as 2001.01 holds, higher is still possible.

That's the way things look before I head off to the airport to fly home. With a one-way ticket, things could be interesting with the TSA. Let's hope things go well.

Omg. Last night we went for barbeque. And I think I finally found it: the best friggin BBQ joint ever.

FAT MATT'S on 1811 Piedmont Ave NE.

Atlanta is not on the "official" BBQ circuit, but Fat Matt's easily blew away everything I've tried from Memphis to Texas to Kansas City.


It was that good.


It's a very small room but the tables turn quickly. There was a blues band playing so you basically can't have much conversation. You enter, order, slip into a food coma, and leave. The room was stuffed with tables of diners shaking their heads in between each bite as if to say "oh my God, this can't be this good. holy sh*t. this is crazy . . ."


It was just crazy good. A simple menu with two things only: pork ribs or chicken. The sides were all there too, with the best one being Brunswick Stew, kind of a riff on beef stew and beans.

The red glow makes it feel eerily like a descent into your own personal hell of gluttony and guilty pleasure. It's wonderful.

Shut up and eat
