I totally do not get why Gates has picked up this issue... what's in it for him? If he feels that HFT is a problem... he's a software guy... he knows there are much more targeted ways to slow down HFTs through regulations that can easily be enforced using software. If he feels the banks...

Don't forget that Sweden fiddled around with their FTT for SIX YEARS until it was abolished. That's a long time to recognize that something is not working and make a correction. Oh and their first "fiddle" was to double the tax. :confused: Someone should suggest to Germany that it's...

If this is true and actually happens it's very clever. Non EU banks will have to create infrastructure to do the FTT related accounting on transactions for EU citizens. So... American banks will have to build up this infrastructure (or turn away business from the EU). Once that...

I thought it was worth putting up this quote from Martin Armstrong here: "I have said it before and I will say it again – the two words POLITICAL ECONOMY should have been divorced the moment they met. Just as we have SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE to ensure freedom of religion, we now need...

Think that last 5 minute candle was controlled by the bulls? :D QE3 announced?

who dat?

There is also an IHS that's clearly visible on the 15 minute chart.

Thanks guys... useful info.

Nice resource... thanks!

Will do. @Bob - yeah I figure the FX is going to play in my favor when it's time to pull the money out... still might consider hedging it though. @peil - I'll look into that but really not interested in gov't debt. Indian banks need money to meet reserve requirements to keep up with a...

@Martinghoul - sort of my point... I am figuring out how this works and whether or not it is feasible... understanding the risks, etc. I understand that the exchange rate factors into the effective interest rate. What else do I need to know about the FX component? @Morganist - HSBC US's...

Hey ya'll I was poking around online over the weekend and I found that many Indian banks are offering high interest rates for fixed deposits... like 10% for a 1 year term. However - it seems these nice rates are only available to residents or citizens. It's not clear how I as a US citizen...

IMO we will see a "big dump" in the next few quarters or so... chance of a lifetime if it happens AND the financial system doesn't melt. edit: big dump BEGINS in the next few quarters.. it will take a long time to play out.

Vol FWIW we agree that this drop is a bear trap. The difference is that I'm flat... need to see it develop a bit more before I get in. If it is a trap the big spurt will be on buy stops above 1348... that one will be killer :) "The market traps itself on every turn" ... now where have I...

Vol are you playing the right shoulder of the IHS that can be seen on the 24 hour 60 minute chart?

Even Bin Laden's death cannot escape R10!

IMO good place for a swing trade short

I'm thinking 61 ish... 56 needs to hold

Watch out... looks like they are going to stop hunt on you. Edit: or not :)

We're in a flat bottomed pennant since 11 AM eastern... watch out for false breakouts/fake outs... IMO eventual breakout is up... trying for 58 edit: I have 58 for other reasons... but I just noticed it is also R10
