Probably an obvious question here, but there has been extra grumblings (especially in Europe) that if the USD falls much lower, they will intervene. Assuming this is a concerted Central Bank effort (i.e., multiple CB's on board), what are the short-term trade ramifications? USD blasts...

Long term, the US WILL lose its status as a reserve currency. But not in the next year, two or even three. There is a lot of talk, and its growing everyday that the Central Banks around the world are going to step in and intervene with a falling USD. In a global slowdown, they can't let the...

With "1 and 1000 year events" and poor liquidity environments, I assume that a HF will have trouble levering up on the short side, no?

Daddy - good point. Just wondering where you are thinking of placing your stops, in light of the day's events? I'm worried that an entity (i.e., IMF) forces a sell to calm the metals.

equity or metals

I don't think you should try to predict this one. This story could be looked at 50% bullish (resolution to bsc) or 50% bearish (very low price, more to come). Too uncertain, IMO

IMF selling?

I'm glad you're back, Realist!

Good point. Thanks!

Thanks - I've been to this site before, but can't seem to find any blank charts that can be filled in...

But then I can't get a visual of the bar length...

Quick question - I'd like to find a site that offers blank charts, so that I can update some futures markets daily by hand (with OHLC and Volume). Can anyone point me to a site? Thanks! BB

Has anyone considered buying puts and call for this month?

Probably the fastest way would be to walk into Goldman Sachs on, say a Monday morning (10:00am or so), and ask to take a tour of the trading floor. When you get there, find the trader with the most computer screens, and just put your resume on his keyboard. Your resume only should have your...

In order to have a patent, you must have a legitimate legal system.

I think RE long-term, just not for the next few years. Agriculture yes. Small Biz - no (depends on the biz, of course, but no way consider this a store of value). Patents too speculative and shelf-life issues.

All the talk by the "capitalists" on this board are yelling for Ron Paul. BUT, it seems that Mitt is the only candidate that *has* Wall Street experience. He understands the capital markets. He has the background of Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital. I'm not endorsing him here, but my...

I heard it, but didn't know what happened. It actually sounded funny, but if someone got hurt, then I take that back.

Global Warming? I think it's more a myth than scientific fact, that is, at least where one thinks that man has the power to alter the atmosphere. In the 1970's, believe it or not, there was a Global Cooling scare, so this is a welcome sign. Google it and see!
