Its because a weakening dollar is inflationary, inflation up companies have pricing power stocks go up. But in foreign currency terms, its gone nowhere. Look at Zimbabwe in local currency terms its stock market was booming while the currency and inflation where out of control. Now does it...

What are you on about, he has stopped his loss on numerous occasions. Also has said that some-things can't be "mathematized"

Point taken. You are quite right.

the whole car thing is like the peacocks feathers, basically makes the male a target for predators, but the females like it so evolution drives it. Driving a big expensive car is bad for your health but presumably good for your sex life.

this thing is starting to irritate me, it should be a lot lower.

I am so glad you have this thing short from 1030.:D

If FV is 890 surely you should run your profits and hold?

MOC?

Are you still short?

Its a good book

No reference?

Hmmm I remember when he was suggesting that we would have a sovereign default like the Ireland, the UK or even Switzerland. Still think he has a point that this is a crisis of solvency not liquidity, we shall see when they try to unwind the stimulus measures. If its liquidity everything...

Yep had major trouble getting thru to HK server for the first 1 2 hours of trading? It did not seem to be a TWS issue but a broader Internet one. Changed ISP and it resolved itself.
