Yes, please, broker discussions to a broker thread. Moving on: Just wanted to give a brief recapture of recent events and make a point. It all began with a rather bullish market. I was a splendid reflection of market sentiment and what the newswires ...

url Something worth noting in light of the YEN / YUAN stuff, although new lows get made every other day. Considering Bloomberg is stating a 80%+ correlation with the JPY, this is a currency I watch alongside. We've basically fallen in a straight ...

This is basically 1:1 a description of what Germany("that Hitler guy") did in the runup to WW II.

IS the US in Recession and whos fault is that?

This is either something very stupid or very pointless to say. The way I read it it implies that simply because several countries(states) have their own country(state) laws still and are integrated under a higher architecture(one might say UNITED in ...

IS the US in Recession and whos fault is that?

I wonder if they did.. Don't think too much about the questions, I'm just trying to see whether I can get people to commit to reactive comments and mirror market sentiment to an extent Mhhh...seems the rally was for the bargain hunting bears ...

2 hours later. The USD rallies, as does the stock market; Gold is coming down and the world seems a happier place. Has Ben managed the impossible or has the marketplace forgotten the two bits where he basically spells the risk for stagflation in two ...

Well, there's a new high for today. Guess someone liked it after all! 200 down, 200 up...should I toss a coin or is there some method in the madness? People knocking at 12300 DJI in a scramble to get higher and smacking the USD higher as ...

No prob, just let the DJI lose 11750 the next 3 days and it will come faster than you can say crack-cocaine! Nah, no idea. It's a classic middle ground move..market wanted 100, some dissenters wanted less and nobody really is happy...neither ...

DJI 500 points off the low, UJ 300, GJ 750(200 retested right now), EJ 400(156 retest). Enough? Will the descent begin or will the bears slip? And - what a coincidence - the levels coincide with only 40 mins to go to the FOMC. Above or below them, ...

IMHO it was this s/r to blame(parallel to 152 EJ, 192.5 GJ, 97.5 CJ), question is whether the 100-101ish 'roof' will contain the current price range. If not, then ouch. Stocks are staging a rampant rally atm as the attempt at a new low came with ...

OOOPS! Jim Kramer got this one wrong

Oh, you mean there's things Cramer actually got right? Can't stand the guy.

OOOPS! Jim Kramer got this one wrong

Not sure where to put this and I know it's old news, but - this might explain to some why the BOJ hasn't been pumping the YEN out madly. url IMHO very interesting, as it means that regardless of the unwind-unwind, we have a natural appreciation of ...

If Metals = Gold&Silver(precious Metals) then Oanda has both. Silver is tradeable in tiny amounts(cents per $), Gold is smallest of 1 Unit which is around 1:1 of the Gold price for me(1$ moved Gold moves 0.68 EUR at 1 Unit - so around 1$ per 1$). ...

The Holy Grail - Found

I suspect if they do make one of the biggest rate cuts in history that the USD is possibly not going to benefit That's about as much as I'm willing to lean out of the window, anything else, such as stock markets etc might get thrashy, ...

Yes to both GBPUSD and AUDUSD(and NZDUSD), nothing to trade oil with. Mostly benefitted from GU via GJ though since those three above are just "toy" positions as my main risk is on the carry at the moment. Quite frankly I am wondering whether it's ...

Amazing, isn't it? I also wouldn't be surprised at a mini-rally for a random reason, either.

Not sure if I posted this here as well or only in my journal. Bit of an update to GBPCHF(old chart is from Jan 3rd, 2008). I was expecting this type of thing a while ago Sadly I was suckered out of the short I had going from 2.0555 as we opened ...
