    I suggest to use the news search from google https://news.google.com/ you can put all the terms you wish to see daily and get a number of source for the USD/JPY pair. I suggest to use a number of terms to pull as many good sources as possible.

    Help On A CAD/USD Trading Strategy & Picking a Broker

    We can facilitate your trade via CME options on CAD/USD for speculative purposes. However, we do not finance any trading( ie, you cant borrow) and we do not deal with deliveries. I think you should stick to simple speculation, but that is just my perspective.

    My comments were sarcastic about this specific incident. I do not think VC's are stupid, but they also have the FOMO syndrome. They also miss out on opportunities and compete within themselves (VC industry) for product sponsorship. I guess this type of competition at times causes oversight...
