Foreign policy isn't about being friends with the nice guys, its about relations which benefit the country, whether those people are nice or not.

There's some good stuff here but we don't know enough about your situation. I'm assuming as you talk about £70k you're British and in the UK. Do you own your own property? If not, buy a house. Do you have an occupational or private pension? Can you top it up to buy more years' worth of...

Life is important, but not sacred. Any soldier in any army will tell you that's true.

Well said mate. It was shameful when the US president had to tell European leaders to get their hands in their pockets and actually spend the defence budgets they had promised to.

I live in Devon in the UK. Down here and down in Cornwall we see a steady stream of persons lost to the sea all year round, some like this sadly. Its a holiday area and many people are unfamiliar with where they are.

Shamefully, the UK's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the UK "recognised the aggressive threat" Gen Soleimani posed, but "further conflict is in none of our interests". Whereas he should have said "Well done US, for elimination of a skilful and dangerous enemy military commander".

Why would there need to be a US-led war in Iran in the style of 19th century inter-nation wars? There are only two reasons to invade another country - 1. to neutralise their plan to invade your own or 2. to take permanent control of their territory and population Neither applies. The "war"...

There's already a war going on. This isn't an escalation, its just another action. As far as resistance to Israel is concerned, the word suggests Israel are continuously pushing their military or influence into other ME countries, rather than Iran: surely you don't intend that? Surely its Iran...

Which just goes to show sometimes you can make money even when you do the wrong thing.

When traders express reluctance over disclosing their strategies (or even traces of), I conclude one of three things - 1. they're inflating their already vast ego's or 2. they don't understand why it works, so they can't eliminate the risk of their edge being traded away or 3. they've found the...

Fortunately, I will probably not be proven right. The US will NOT elect one of these crypto-Marxists and business will continue as usual.

Sorry, I find it hard to believe that election of a socialist carrying a Democrat membership card will be bullish for the Dow.

I say traders should aim for 100%. Or else take up investing.

A year is too long for trading horizons. And way too short for investing. So the answer is it doesn't matter. I intend to follow the market upwards while its bullish and to stay in cash when its bearish. In parallel I will be going long and short in forex as appropriate. Absence of a...

Well the other night I saw a shining star in the east. Then these 3 guys came by who seemed to be wise guys and they said they were intent on following this star no matter where. So I thought well that's just going to lead to trouble..... 'course, it might have just been a police helicopter.......

In a bull market be long: in a bear market be short: if unsure, be in cash. Be aware that if you short a falling stock in a bull market, someone somewhere is quite possibly accumulating cash with which to make a bid to take over that company whose stock you're shorting - even the rumour of a...

In order of complexity, for private retail traders - 1. traded options trading 2. forex trading 3. CFD trading 4. binary options trading 5. spreadbetting 6. share trading

To make trading decisions based on your analysis of the situation you must either have big b@lls or small brains. No offence intended but any other trader who hasn't done your analysis would have to be brain-dead to simply accept your opinion and copy your approach. I'm not saying you're wrong...

MA cross-overs are just an entry signal. And not a very good one for reasons outlined above. But on a more general level, they are classed as a tactic. You cannot start with one tactic and develop it into a successful strategy. Think what you are trying to do. Start at the most general level -...

Nevertheless, the statement "anyone who tells you to trade intraday is either and idiot or a conman" is true for most people.
