If investors are dumping US and buying commodities and commod currencies, why are US bond prices going up?

WTF. Gold markup by >$5

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

you know pirata, i think you and malcolm may have accidently stumbled onto one half of an arbitrage strategy if these $10 payouts actually eventuate. Gotta check the maths later on but definitely something interesting to note. meanwhile. nice mini ...

A4 paper irritate much?

LOL, non existant volume buddy. This things not gonna do anything drastic whilst the only market open atm is the Kiwi NZX

WTF? you said previously that you are more profitable with these $10 weekly bets than you are FX trading with OANDA, and now you claim Malcolm can't afford to fund these $10 bets. I think its a question of who is the insignificant one here.

this is what happened today on the HSI. Who said manipulation doesn't happen

wonder where EvilGoat's gone these days. God i miss his sledgehammer

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

That's IRESS. when i posted that previous chart SSE was +26 for the day now its just touched break even for the first time today.

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Agreed, there definitely is scope for a concerted manipulation push north. Whether or not this is sustainable is another matter. This is the SSE ramp up of today so far about 40-45 mins before close.

LOL i'm waiting on Malcolmb vs Pirata Round 2 before making up my mind. There is still a very significant resistance level up top around the 153.5 to just below the 154 area. I'm don't think that level's gonna give easily unless something ...

153.50-153.80 will be one tough nut to crack.

You Aussie by any chance? That song has always confused me for some reason. I know that its an iconic Australian song but you're supposed to get an image of a hard yakka, muscles bulging, blue collar hard at work....... and then suddenly a reed ...

Leverage buddy. These banks are holding portfolio asset values that are 10,15,20x their shareholder equity, funded significantly by short term maturity notes, i.e. a 10% markdown on a portfolio of assets leveraged at 10x equity would result in a ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Not quite right. It'll reduce bank assets by over 30%. Remember Colonial Bank? Immediate 37% markdown on its portfolio of assets after being thrown into the arms of BB&T. Given the average banks portfolio leverage, 30% writedown on assets means an ...

LOL Gold and Oil both got hit with NFP and the DX has hardly moved.

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Care to make another prophetic proclamation about next week's price action. I'm sure Malc will indulge you.

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

SL will have to be tight and that's not the best thing to do since it can whip furiously not to mention alotta brokers have increased spreads during this time. Oanda strat: place box options around price. works best if NFP come out at expectation. ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

unfortunately with this NFP result so close to the estimate, i don't think GJ has the impetus to plummet to your 147 target this week, so it looks like you'll be mailing pirata his coffee voucher My observation here is that if today, the ...
