"When that happen, both long end and short end of the interest rates will automatically go up as there is lower demand for US interest rate securities due to the currency risk. " And that is one likely reason for the discontinuance of M3 figure by the Fed: to surreptitiously monetize...

Gotmessner If you are just trading Eurex and/or SPI my suggestion would be to switch to the HK server. That should reduce your ping latency and number of hops by half. Good luck

Everyone was also talking about the tech bubble for a long time before it burst, but burst it did like every other bubble before it. The longer this bubble takes to burst the greater the damage will be when it bursts and the longer it will be before things recover – just look at Japan. Just...

What about this OS site that ships to the US. Multiply the prices by 0.71 to see how ridiculously expensive locally made products have become in the US. http://www.skunkworks.com.au/lcdbrackets-descriptions.htm

What exactly do you want me to say? What prompted me to make my initial post was Bufferman’s last or 2nd last post in which he said that after listening to the advice given, Treasuries sounded like a good idea. I merely wanted to point out to him that IMHO Treasuries may not be such a good...

I just wonder how much of Buffet's cash is in the US

Steve46 I did my education in finance and know all too well that every Government wants its citizens to have blind faith in “risk free” Government paper (it’s funny how less risk is associated with this paper when they apply the term securities to it). How else would Governments...

I would also regard any investment in property/duplex to be high risk at this stage. I must say that anyone following the advice on this thread would in all probability have a one way ticket to the poor house. When interest rates are at 40 odd year lows only a fool would lock their hard...

I would regard investing in US Treasuries to be high risk at this particular juncture. I personally could not invest in Treasuries knowing that their value is dependent on the faith of Asian investors in the US economy and particularly knowing that Greenspan is hell bent on crucifying anyone...

Thanks for the info. PS I quite like this free screen capture: http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/printkey_info.htm

I saw a used copy of The Stock Trader for $43.24 here: http://www.fetchbook.info/search_Tony_Oz/searchBy_Author.html Would ‘How To Take Money From Wall Street’ be a better book than The Stock Trader (being more up to date)? Anyone? If so you can find it on Amazon for $34 as I recall.

TraderC I also share your views on the degree of influence that our friend in the Middle East has over US foreign policy and with how detrimental and costly an impact all this has had on the entire world. Although tempted many a time, I have however never expressed any views in this regard...

A friend of mine recently installed his old HD in a new computer, repaired the installation, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it worked. And there have been no problems with it since. Windows XP SP1 BTW also allows one to install it over the previous installation just like one could with...

Spot on illiquid. If Greenspan continues to print dollars like they were toilet paper then the US dollar will eventually become toilet paper, so at the end of the day who would want to exchange their valuable resources for toilet paper? Were do you guys (damir00, The Student) think interest...

It does matter immensely to the US if oil is not bought in US dollars because the demand for US dollars will be severely impacted along with the status of the US dollar as a reserve currency. Without adequate demand for US dollars there would be no party in the US markets and no (phony)...

I don't use Tradestation, but can offer you the following information: Symbols preparation Datafeed is unable to provide list of symbol automatically so you have to insert symbol manually. TWS software is sensitive to symbol category and exchange. Datafeed needs to know category of the...

The asset side of the consumer’s balance sheet has grown to the extent that it has through increasing the debt burden rather than through savings, and there lies the problem. Eventually asset prices will have to come back to earth due to the fact that we cannot grow debt levels at this rate...

Slapshot, I need not look any further than a weekly chart of the Dow to agree with you As for the rest of you guys, if you are saying that we should go with the trend as long as it lasts, I say, yes, that‘s good advice, but I will be keeping my bets smaller and time frames shorter at this...

And there lies the problem with the US: everyone in a position of authority seems to be just looking at today without a care in the world as to the future. Look, I merely posted the chart, which I extracted from a recent Bill Goss article, to add food for thought to the wildly optimistic...

2 Pages ago I posted a chart depicting the horrific levels of US debt and asked if the bulls among us can explain how we are to get around this mess. The chart has been viewed 35 times and I did not see any comment from the bulls on debt, just a lot of nonsense on PE’s. Talk on PE’s is just...
