They print Yuan to buy treasuries.

It's a pretty generic read on trading forex. One thing you should talk about is the predatory strategies these firms use to take your money: price spikes to hit stops, platform problems that mysteriously show up in active markets, spreads widening when you are profitable, spreads widening to hit...

This is a great time to be a small entrepreneur. The major conglomerates and oligopolies have fallen.

LOL, if you're long MSFT from a higher price, I guess it could feel that way.

Tracking a single stock has a lot to do with the index futures, and the sector the stock is trading in. If you watched the financials in general, there was a nice spike in the afternoon, then a final 30 min sell off into the close. Right now, we're in a controlled accumulation market. Short...

I use it every day as my sole internet connection. I am in a rural area in Central California that doesn't have high speed internet access. Since I'm next to the freeway I'm in the high speed wireless area. I get pretty close or go over the 5 gb every month since I use it for internet surfing...

I've had sprint for 3 years. It's reliable. It used to be the best since they offered unlimited data, but now they copy Verizon's 5 GB per month limitation for the top tier. I got grandfathered in with my unlimited data, but I've noticed when I go over 5 GB, they throttle the speed way down and...

Interviews for a prop trading position are a total joke. Don't sweat it. If they want traders, you will get in, unless you have no money, then you'll be at their mercy to get the scraps from the table.

A house was 50 K, it got to 400k, now it's 200k.

The most important aspect for a trader is the internet connection. The power of the machine doesn't affect anything very much. I traded on an amd single core 2 ghz processor, moved to an amd 4800+ dual core 2 ghz processor, to an intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processor. Nothing changed. The only...

There are many tools on the internet to spell check. You don't need to know how to spell these days. You just need to not be a lazy fuck.

Time to buy. :D

Here's the real kicker. Food prices didn't correct with the disinflationary forces in this current downturn. With OPEC cutting output and mexico and russian oil fields in decline, it's only a matter of time before crude oil spikes in the 100's again. Oil and housing being the main...

This is just like the Crude spike. It could provide much more pain than you can take. I'll bet at the final gold peak, you will be covering your short, and calling everyone to buy gold because it's going to go up forever.

I have noticed local restaurants raising prices, as well as many grocery items going up. I think the deflation is only in assets that banks own, or that are financed by debt. But items that you need are already rising. Once the banks get fully bailed out, I am expecting 15-20% inflation next...

This issue isn't really about the money supply. It's about the supply of credit. Securitization allowed banks to lever credit 10 to 1 with fractional reserve lending which they then sold the normal leveraged loans to MS, BSC, LEH, GS, C etc. Then the investment banks re-bundled these loans...

We don't need it. This panic and talk of nationalization is a sham. Banks have 2 trillion on reserve at the federal reserve. Things aren't as bad as the market thinks they are. This is the pricing in of the stimulus package, nothing more.

Remember, when treasuries are sold, it is deflationary. Dollars are absorbed out of investors hands, and into the government debt. They are crowding out trillions that could have been investing in the market. Everytime they pass a bill, expect equities to fall sharply. Remember the huge selloff...

Dodd just wants to destroy the American financial system. Everything he has done so far, is anti-recovery.

They will not nationalize C and BAC. This would probably collapse what's left of the writhing financial system. Geightner is going to come out with his bank rescue plan within days along with the announcement of the TALF. The market is just getting oversold due to the pessimism in traders and...
