It just feels insane with the Yen strength in the last few months. I also agree that on the charts it looks like the USD/JPY could drop like a rock, and although the fundamentals for the USD are very bad it is so hard to accept Yen as anything resembling quality.

I worry, but only slightly. Yes there's many left-wing politicians in many countries that want this tax - but most of them are also sane enough to realise that the only way it could work is if the whole world would implement the same tax, otherwise it would just move business offshore/elsewhere...

There's also the question of how many do you really need. I hope Obama and Medvedev/Putin can agree to lower the US / Russian numbers a lot with a new agreement now - how many times over do you need to be able to blow up the entire world...

The NOKi is far better than Swissie. For us board-pikers the liquidity is there, but for the bigger players it's not that simple.

Books are great, there are quite a few actually - some are fifty years old but still has valuable advice. I don't know why youngtrader's in such a bad mood, but just look back at the history of Ag here on ET and you might pick up something useful. If CME has the market reports that CBOT used to...

PC, the term Market Maker on the futures exchanges is something you can apply for - and you're committing yourself to have two-sided orders in an instrument for x% of the time. You get discounts etc but not the knowledge of stop orders. You did not post anything that proves that, and it's simply...

Yes, AlJazeera is actually very good - I find it a lot better than BBC for instance.

It's far too early to short China, this is going to be the mother of all bubbles. Think back to when the Imperial Palace in Tokyo was worth more than California, time it by one hundred - that's what you should look out for. It's going to be a wild ride for 10-30 years before this bubble pops -...

Fantastic jokes here :) Love southamerica, but he deserves this!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_ugly_dating LONDON (Reuters) – Britons are among the ugliest people in the world, according to a dating website that says it only allows "beautiful people" to join. Fewer than one in eight British men and just three in 20 women who have applied to...

Thread has been deleted as it should, but he's of course not banned. Not since he's such a dear friend of the site owner... Not banning him is shameful in my honest opinion.

Moron, I was not calling you a racist - that was Pabst. But if you want to hang out with them, there are plenty of other places to go.... douchebag... Freedom of speech my ass - this has nothing to do with that, you confused little wanker. There is a code of conduct, if you don't like it get...

talon, it's obvious to all the real traders on this site that this is good lessons being dealt out and plenty of valuable contributions from many ET'ers. Just put bwolinsky on ignore and he won't bother any of us anymore.

http://www.elitetrader.com/conduct_rules.cfm His post is against the Code of Conduct of this site. If you don't like the Code of Conduct, there are plenty of other "free speech" sites on the net where racists like to hang out and other right-wing nuts agrees that Geithner should be killed...

Pabst chose the Announcements forum for his latest hate-rant, labelling the President a n.. well you-know what etc I think it's time for a new ban. Yes he adds to the forum when he's on topic, but this is just disgraceful and not the first time. And the Announcements is chosen because it's...

Well, there's no "lot" with IB - it's just the amount you want to trade. If you're used to a lot being 1.000 then yes it would be 90 lots with USD/JPY trading at 90 - and that's also the exchange rate you'd pay attention to since you wanted a pip move to be a certain value in USD when it really...

10 USD is 900 JPY. So, you want to buy 90.000 AUD/JPY as that gives you a pip move of 900 JPY.

what he said ;)

The government could of course theoretically be an owner and operator of companies that do business, make money and employ people. It is however not very likely to be able to do that successfully.

pHox'er, you're forgetting to mention all the massacres on civilians carried out by troops/militias. Israel won't live in peace, unfortunately.
