Sorry about the wake up part. But I honestly cannot sleep. I feel as if this next two weeks is info crunch time. How about you??

anyway, several interesting things in this. My question is-what is the significance of a "REGIONS FIRST CROSS-BORDER BANK MERGER"

VETTY-VETTY-INTERESTING!!!!!

London, Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks are likely to rise, led by banks after a newspaper report that Italy's UniCredito Italiano SpA and Spain's Banco Bilboa Vizcaya SA may be planning the region's first cross-border bank merger.

Mining stocks may gain after a unit of London-based Anglo American Plc made a takeover offer for Australia's Acacia Resources Ltd.

Eight hours before Asian market closes -

GOLD: down 3.5%

Platinum: up 3.5%

it's like watching the movie "The Sting" where the ticker is rigged.
