Italy is part of the Euro currency, just like Greece. Greece has been looking like it could default on its debt for over a year, which would be bad for the Euro because the other member countries would have two options: 1) Bailout Greece, this is tough politically because its mostly on the...

If you are worried about the US defaulting on its debt or having print like crazy to pay it or the economy some how suffering because of it then socking away US dollars would be a bad move. Just my 2 cents, I am not very worried about the US debt at this point. 5yr

I apologize for going off topic, but this was too good to pass up. Calling an asinine statement "ass nine" is in itself asinine. Hilarious. 5yr

You are netting less than $8 per trade, any amount of slippage would quickly make this a losing strategy. Also you have 5 days of results, so don't buy a new house yet. Are these real results or simulated? 5yr

I think a lot of the tea party folk think this is what the Boston tea-party was about... but thats totally wrong. They were protesting taxation without representation, and were far from anti-government, they wanted to form their own government. They were anti-colonists and anti-monarchy, but...

I am curious, what was your reasoning for predicting the end of print media in 1982? Al gore hadn't even invented the internet yet, are you saying you thought of it before him? 5yr

oh one more thing.... This drives me crazy, but everytime someone says "eminis" they are always reffering to the S&P mini contract. 5yr

This will be difficult, considering the exchange did away with the unleaded contract a couple years ago. Now its the RBOB contract. The exchange sets the minimum amount a brokerage firm can charge for overnight margin, for the mini RBOB its currently set at $5231.25 initial and $3875...

The Fed doesn't pay income tax, it turns all of its income over to the US Treasury already. As Ricky Gervais would say, "quit talking s***!" 5yr

He did it after Lehman brothers collapsed, but he didn't buy the low. It was in September, the worst of the crash was in October, I believe. 5yr

He is out on the stock he bought, he made 33% in 30 months on the GS deal, 40% in 36 months on the GE deal. Plus he still holds the warrants on both, good until 2013 22.5 on GE and 115 on GS. Pretty nice investments, makes his returns, gets out, so has no risk and still has tons of pontential...

Mongolia up 45% YTD, Venezuela up 33.32% YTD, Bulgaria up 25% YTD, Serbia up 24% YTD. There are plenty more, those are the ones I can find that have more than doubled golds performance this year. Did I get the one you were thinking of? What was your time period for outperformance? 5yr

I feel unless there is some instrinsic reason that two markets have to be correlated its best not to assume that the correlation will hold, particularly if you are expecting to profit from it. If you are worried about too much risk, than I think its prudent to look at historical correlations...

Can I clairfy this? Under your scenario you know gold is going down and you are assuming that CHF will also go down and you are asking which one would be better to be short? I would go with the one I know is going down, they are several scenarios that would cause gold to fall and the CHF...

$12.50 is your loss, 1 tick in the 6E. The margin will not come out of your account, its the cash you are required to have in your account to initiate the position. 5yr

Thats the contract size, but the actual value on the contract changes with every tick. If you have bloomberg type in ecu1 and look at the contract description... at 1.4442 the contract is worth $180,525. Or 1.4442 x 125000 5yr

Yes, professional traders do. One of the best traders I know is a metorologist by training and he trades grains based on his forecasts. He is way ahead of everyone else in the market and is usually right. I would say the vast majority of traders that make a lot of money consitently have an...
