haha woops, I only read the first post in the thread.

LOL is that the famous "jump out the frying pan, into the fire" trading strategy? IF the stockmarket melts, you're gonna get your ass hung in a sling buying gold. Only thing you can do is to buy extremely defensive stock issues or a money market fund. Anyway it's all moot because the...

He's in it for the long term, he's still made an overall profit from when he first put on the position and 600mln loss on a 18bln trade is not a catastrophe.

You sound like you've been system trading for quite a while. How's it working out for you? Are you consistantly profitable?

Oh my God, that is so stupid. Or you can try this: Daystartrading.com dinarsforless.com IraqDinarInvestment.com

Forget about that quote! Apparently he's a washed up loser who declared personal bankruptcy and now hawking rip-off snake oil seminars to suckers

I can't be bothered dealing with all that nerdy stuff. Isn't there somewhere you can buy a trading computer all ready to go?

Yeh, I'm also interested in what kind of trader you are. Maybe you could tell us your methodology without revealing 'competitive secrets' or whatever.

Woops. 12:34 GMT US GDP DATA FOR Q1GDP rose at an annualized pace of 4.2% in Q1, about 1% below expectations and well below the whisper number. The difference is made up in the deflator, with PCE index up 3.2%, core PCE deflator up 2.0%, implicit deflator up 2.5%. Consumer spending rose 3.8%...

My bet's placed at 5.9%. Moveover, I believe the GDP Deflator will be more important to the markets than the headline figure.

Very Bullish. I was under the impression that the global economy peaked in 4Q03, however, by looking at China's recent Q104 performance - which has the exact same monetary policy as the US - today's GDP number will be at the upper end of the 5-6% range.

There are a whole bunch of Chinese stocks listed on the NYSE I think.

For 1GB of storage they can inspect my underpants if they want

What's a blogger account? I went to GMail.com and it says it's still in testing

George Soros has made real estate bets aswell: "...Soros has become a major player in emerging markets such as Eastern Europe. They say he has also quietly beefed up his real estate investments, via a $4.5 billion investment partnership."

If he uses macro/fundemental stratagies then it would be the same field. For instance, if he thought the Bank of England would lower interest rates then he could buy property or short the GBP.

Yeh I've read that interview and it seems to me that PTJ is not a true Macro speculator. For instance, he mentions that he's not the best person to ask about the stockmarket because it's not his "core competency". My understanding of Macro trading is using top-down research to develop a view...

I'm very excited to hear that you're a macro trader. I'm dying to speak to someone who knows a thing or two about macroeconomics and most of the people on this board are primarily short term TA orientated from what I've gathered. Would it be possible for you to roughly give me your macro...

I'm new to this board, but it seems to me that most traders here are primarily TA orientated and trade on a very short term basis. Which is surprising to me because from what I've read all the best professional traders are Macro orientated. So I would like to know if there are any traders on...

Very insightfull post Darkhorse, you remind me Paul Tudor Jones who also emphasized balance in life. What type of trader are you? What's your trading methodology? If you don't mind me asking.
