Sometimes I really do wonder about these web ads.

I was on Yahoo Finance (of all places) and saw an advertisement for some kind of skin cream. I've put a composite image together showing several "stages" of the ad.

The area marked 1, on the left, is the original ad, which appears to show a horribly disfigured burn victim. Part 2, in the upper right, is when I move the cursor over the ad, which allows me – – for reasons that aren't readily apparent – – to draw on this poor soul's face with impunity.

Finally, section 3 shows the result: a complete hottie (although perhaps a different moniker would be more kind, given her earlier unfortunate post-burn circumstance).

As if you needed to be told, this ad reminds the reader that the images are "simulated." Thank God.

I hate to be a "Johnny One-Note", but EUR and ES are where all my attention is focused. The individual positions can take care of themselves.

If the EUR, the second graph, breaks below the line I've drawn, I'd consider that pretty bearish. It's getting pretty dang close as of this writing. If it stays above it and moves higher today, that's pretty bullish.

This day has been surprisingly neutral to my portfolio. Like I said earlier, I was expecting to be buried in profits. As it is now, the crickets are chirping.

The bulls' best hope at this point is the EUR/USD, which has a genuinely handsome and well-formed pattern.

At the same time, the trendline on the ES is undoubtedly broken for the short-term.

The market's direction is clear as mud, isn't it?
